im telling you again, this is the 2004 flames team

Literally, f*** you Mason!

Damn Z-Dawg almost

Good puck movement at least

Sammy yes, but I felt Kopecky played better then most that period.

pass it back Flips!!!!!

Did Ericcson play with Kronwall the past 2 games?

Zetterberg pass the puck

Downey is trying, but Torres is too smart

a line of Abdelkader - Helm -Leino would get this team going

If Mason saved that then......f***.

just a great tip, small goalies never have a chance with those

Wings: 3 Zetterberg, Filppula (going on a limb here) Lidstrom Columbus: 2 Huselius, Torres

Calling our best players Euro Wussies! too far....

I could see how this could aggravate Americans, but us Canadains make fun of Baseball more then any other sport in my opinion.

OK, and the rest of will have some fun, good debates on how the lineups will look during the post season.

Franzen is still proving that he can score goals, and to have him and Hossa as the wingers centered by Filppula means we probably have the best 2nd line in the league.

As much as I would love to see Franzen and Hossa stay, I am really gonna miss Hudlers energy.

Hopefully Detroit show's some energy, because Blue Jackets are fighting for everything and will come out hard. Good luck to Ozzie, and hopefully he can have another strong performance.

I don't mind Draper controlling the 3rd line, as long as he has some energetic folks beside him. Last year it was his line who I found shared the most problems. I remember during the playoffs how it was usually in our zone when him and his lineups were out there. Draper with some young guns should work though, given the amount of energy the kids have, and can create for Drapes.

I agree with Young Guns. I personally think its a mistake done by the league when the margin is 5 games or more.

1. Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom 2. Franzen - Filppula - Hossa 3. Cleary - Helm - Hudler 4. Leino - Draper - Samuelsson Reason being I do not have Hudler over Filppula on the 2nd line is because I find him and Helm play great together. Leino seems to work well enough with Draper so I don't mind seeing them stick together. 1. Lidstrom - Rafalski 2. Kronwall - Stuart 3. Lilja - Ericsson I really think Ericsson could play as good as Lebda, if not better. His 2 games so far have been very good, and with his size it wouldn't hurt too use it.

As its been said, Hossa was our Trade Deadline acquisition. I'm not disappointed considering I expected very little action from Kenny. The team just needs to regroup defensively, and the past 2 games they seem to be going in the right direction. It would have been nice to aquire a player like Neil, but because I don't know what the asking price was for him, I won't question Hollands decision. The team is clearly talented enough to win the cup, lets just see whether they have any hunger for it.

Its good for the Wings, keeps em on their toes. TBH though, Columbus is the team I want Detroit to stay away from the most. They remind me too much of the 2004 Flames.

I always knew Ott would end up doing something really stupid. The guy plays way too crazy. Its one thing to come out strong, another thing to come out stupid.
