The Helm goal from last night, his goal song, his nickname and the return of Archer have all inspired my new GIF Avatar.
Love Helmer's goal song.
He is becoming a player that is very exciting in both zones!

I have a love-hate relationship with Salei.
He has moments where he plays outstanding and makes life great.
Then he has plenty of moments where he pinches at inappropriate times and misses the puck and his man causing plenty of odd man rushes.
He is a good value for what he is.
But I would rather still have Lilja.

He's not Lilja

Read that the only reason they did this is because if he stayed on the roster longer he would have had to have passed through waivers to be sent down. This move was simply to protect themselves from losing 2 goalies to waivers in 1 week (Nabokov and MacDonald)

Datsyuk and Cleary could really help us in our own end right now. They are both so calm and composed. We can blame the d pairings or some shotty goaltending but our forwards are running all over the place in our own end !

I'm in Philly for the week and I will be proudly sporting my wings jersey in enemy territory all day!

Lidstrom was awesome again tonight.
Eaves played his best game as a Wing - which is saying something since he has had many good games.
Hudler - Keep Going
Mursak - I was very impressed by your play tonight - keep it up
Salei - with the exception of one or 2 plays you were flawless today - best game as a Wing
But the best part of the night was: Murphy "II've got a soft spot for the dog. But you bet I'll be all over those curly fries tomorrow."

This blows...I was pessimistic about how the next 4 weeks were going to go without Pavel. Now without Danny I am dreading the fact that we could easily wind up in 8th or 9th seed with how tough a schedule it is and 2 of our top 3 offensive players out...
If Hudler struggles and Mursak plays well Jiri may be looking to call in for some new colored equipment to match the new logo on his jersey...
Also this is a great opportunity for Jiri to be playing Top 6 minutes. If he doesn't do anything with it I give up on him.,..

Great GDT except one thing.
No mention of DOLLAR HOT DOG NIGHT!
Wings will win this one for Murph who will be silent for 99% of the broadcast while he eats his hot dogs!

DAMN
Nice game by Ozzie though.
I'll take 5 out of 6 on the West Coast though.

The guy plays a tremendous game and is probably one of very few reasons the game even got to OT and people still Chastise him for losing the game in OT.
I'm out on that note before this thing gets brutal.
Go Ozzie - Go Howie - Go Wings.

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

I think he looks at it as if we maintain that we will be in for a 120+ pt season other teams around 100+ points.
The way I look at it is we are still only 6pts away from being 13th... still to close to the rest of the pack. I'm sure that's how Babs looks at it as well.

Apparently, he hasn't seen Z's wife.

I agree with everything you said, but I think Tatar does have a pretty wicked wrister. Tatar came to Grand Rapids labeled as a sniper, but his game has turned in to so much more. I see Tatar having a similar skill set as Zetterberg. There is not one certain thing about Zetterbergs game ever blew me away, but he is still an outstanding player. I see Tatar as the same type of guy, pretty good at everything with a nice shot.

Filppula also was one of the Wings best players in a close 3rd period where Hudler was on the bench the whole time in favor of a 3-line rotation...
Why is that, because Filppula devotes himself to playing brilliant 2-way hockey. The more he plays on the PP and the more he gets going Filppula will reach a 50-60 pts per season offensive potential. Maybe not this year, but he will hit it at some point.
THat is about the same potential as Hudler has, and Hudler doesn't skate hard to the back-check on defense.
That is why Filppula gets the playing time.
I love Hudler and want him to bust out and get going again, but right now FIlppula has done nothing but impress me.

That week got me back into the mix of things
Congrats canadaboy on the 17...big week
