I still like Homer a lot, but I like him best on the PP. I think Cleary opens up a little more ice when he is on that line.

I think I like Cleary with Pavs and Z more than Homer at this point. He isn't drunk enough for that...Yet.

Stuart has been awesome today. Also I thought he was older than he actually is. Hope to have him here for a long time to come.

398 - don't want to jinx this game. Those stats are just god's apology. He felt bad for making Chris so small that he made up for it by giving him the talent to overcome it.

Hagrid Osgood would have been a stud!

Which was only from his size. So Definitely no fault of his own. Its God's fault Ozzie let those goals in because he made Chris so small. Edit: But yes I agree he has been solid and has not let in bad goals.

That is the stat that got him into the Hall of Fame

He is conserving all his energy for when he gets off the Red Eye back to Detroit and goes home to his wife.

I've been real impressed with Quick. They have 2 good goalies in Quick and Bernier. It will be interesting to see how they handle them both and who ends up staying long-term

What it comes down to for me with Ozzie is that he is not as good as Howard at this point in their careers...Period. As long as Ozzie plays like a capable back-up and get wins I don't really care about anything else.

Throw that trade over to Stevie...He needs a goalie and a defenseman that doesn't suck and pull some Stamkos our way instead.

Man Wings will set some NHL records. I approve!

My guess is that against San Jose Draper will sit (needs to rest the groin, not push too hard) then Miller will sit against Nashville and the rotation of odd man out will continue again.

I for one love Larry Murphy's enthusiasm every time the words Dollar, Hot and Dog are used in that order... Yesterday: Ken Daniels "Dollar Hot Dog Day at the Joe" Murph "WOOOOOOOOOOO" Today Murph "Don't miss the Wings next game ITS DOLLAR HOT DOG NIGHT" The man made so much money, and probably gets his food at the arena for free - but he still is a happy man for dollar dog night!

The pace of this game worries me a little bit - last of 3 on the West Coast and in Back-to-Back games this fast pace could bite our bums in the 3rd. Ozzie has been pretty good for having been out for a month. Has had some shaky plays but overall a pretty solid game. Lets get one early. I say Wings win either 4-2 or 4-3! However that does mean Edicious needs more beer if he only has the one left...

But Joey MacDonald's 1 period of play in the same time frame would have been?

To me most of the contact came after the puck was in the net. It looked worse than it was IMO.

I've got no problem with their second goal. If Homer scored it and it got called back we would have been peaved. I think it was nice effort by Ferriero.

no. but he will make the hall of fame so ill take the trade off

both teams have looked sloppy to me...

Forwards Abdelkader:B+ (Been very impressive, most energy on the team) Bertuzzi:A (Never expected this from him) Cleary:A (Best I have ever seen Cleary play) Datsyuk: A- (The play is beautiful) Eaves: B- (Has impressed on the PK which is what he is here for) Filppula: B- (Possibly a straight B with play as of late, needs to shoot the puck more) Franzen: B- (I know he is streaky, but he goes between dominant and invisible) Helm: B (NEED TO LEARN HOW TO FINISH) Holmstrom: B (Average to what I expect from Homer) Hudler: D- (Not quite an F...but pretty close) Miller: B- (See the description of Eaves) Modano: C+ (Has been solid, but I expected more offense) Zetterberg: B+ (Solid play, but I want more offense) Defensemen Ericsson: B (Only because he has exceeded my expectations) Janik: Incomplete Kindl: Incomplete Kronwall: B (seems a little less physical than typical) Lidstrom: A (Lids is off to his greatest start ever) Rafalski: B+ (Didn't realize how much I liked this guy till he was out) Salei: C- (STOP PINCHING AND CAUSING ODD MAN RUSHES SUCK-EI) Stuart: B+ (Has looked great on Lidstrom's side) Goaltenders Howard: A- (Stats are down a bit from last year - but only a bit - very impressive) Osgood: C (Not been where he needs to be and has been hurt)

Wings are looking good. Lets take this momentum on the road trip too!!!

I think its one of the best!!!

Almost Identical...THere are a few others that have some similarities too, but those are almost identical.
