On a 5 on 3 the ref waves out our only forward...f**kin joke.

Kronwall that is always much appriciated!

Ozzie playing great, love to see that! Offense non existent, thats because the eurotwins have not re-united (not gonna give it up).

I think if Bertuzzi plays with Helm, he will be sparked to play with the amount of energy Helm shows.

Maltby seems to have more speed this year then he did last.

Sounds of it May is playing. Eaves might swap in for Maltby.

Datsyuk and Zetterberg have proven how good they can shut opposing teams down when on the same line. Filppula is also proven to be a good 2 way player. If I recall correctly, Filppula was centering the 2nd line in 2008 which was probably the best defensive game Detroit has played in recent time. I'm just saying id like the chance to put things back the way they somewhat were, the way it worked. The redwing players like Filppula, Helm, Kronwall, Ericsson, and Franzen have only become more complete players since then. Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom Franzen - Filppula - Cleary Leino - Helm - Bertuzzi Williams - Draper - Eaves/Maltby Just my preference

I wish Cheli would retire, but I defiantly respect the fact he still has so much love for the game, and still wants to play at his age.

Wings go down early 2-0. Babs re-unites dats and z-dawg, Detroit comes back with a 3-2 victory. Datsyuk Filppula Lidstrom

I love la-la-la-lafontaine but this is a team sport, and whats wrong with the system now? Its stupid to try and give the lossing team some help, just to make things interesting . Let them try and get it back the old fashioned way .

3 games in and you can only excpet this in leafs nation. Funny how TSN says the same thing but then continue talking about it.

Babs is amazing but these lines are not the best the wings can be. Filppula can carry the 2nd line so I don't see why we need to balance our skill with the euro twins split.

Hope to see Helm on thursday. I think him and Bertuzzi would be productive together. Helm has that spark to ignite Bert, and Then Zetterberg and Datsyuk can play together like they should. my lines: Zetterberg - Datsuk - Holmstrom Franzen - Filppula - Cleary Bertuzzi - Helm - Leino Williams - Draper - Maltby/Eaves

Anyone but Lebda. I have always disliked this guy, the idiot doesn't do anything productive yet he pinches all the time. He is always the third man back too, even though he is credited with "good speed".

You know, I believe Detroit can win either way, but I want to comment on how much I enjoy E_S_A_D's posts. He is the perfect villain, and knows how to be funny. I wanna be the first to say LGW is lucky to have a member like you sir. Back on topic, Detroit has proven you don't really need a goon on your squad to win. But with how tired you can only expect the team to get, a good enforcer with alot of energy could defiantly help the wings get some added boost./ Ill be honest, I am starting to miss hard hitting hockey. edit: spelling

And to think with all the success Detroit has had fans would have little more faith in their team after 2 of 82 games.

If the wings didn't make the playoffs this year then I will start believing the 2012 conspiracy. 2 games and I reply to a topic like this. You would think after all the success and wealth wings and their fans have recieved that you would be intellectual enough not to even consider the possibility that the most poise team in the NHL would miss the post season after 2 games.... after 2 f**kin games! unbelievable, it truly is. edit: "hid" the swear

So much for a positive start

Fippula won't get lots done playing 3rd line minutes. re-unite the euro twins and have filppula center the 2nd. It worked in 2008, why not now.

Thats why I love Stuart.

lebs deserves it, wake up.

let the bleeding stop

that one too.

howard should have had that one, im sure he knows it too.
