What are you doing with Weiss, helm, datsyuk and z??? Just curious

Yes!!!

I liked the clips and inside look, but the narrator was terrible. I swear I was listening to a text to speech app.

I like to stay positive but we are going to need 100% effort tonight and maybe some puck luck. Hockey Gods, we deserve some love tonight. The help against the kings I hope was only just the start.

Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive2m Howard won't return due to lower body injury, Wings said.

Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive11m No word on why Howard is out. He was flexing his knee after covering puck late in first period. But Mickey Redmond said he might be sick.

I guess if anybody hears an update about Howard pass it on, Im stuck watching the blues broadcast

westgarth against bieksa for the opening draw hahah

Any win we pull out with all these injuries is amazing, here's to hoping we can sneak away with another win against the kings

I don't think bishop should... Howard isn't just going for his performance this year, they also pick for the future years and the experience, bishop has player what 3-4 months of good hockey, Howard 3 years... Miller won't be around next year which could leave a tandem of Howard and Quick which I believe they are confident in when both are at the top of their game... Bishop hasn't even played playoffs has he, and people think he is ready for the drive of the Olympics?

USA takes guys like Orpik over guys like buff cause of track records and were not trying to run and gun with the best, we're trying to shut them down.

Helm did warm ups, but I guess they said it was too sore... That's atleast a little promising

I might be in the that small party that doesn't want a trade at this point. I'm not saying this team is a bust and won't make playoffs but in terms of trade we don't have the cap room or pieces to make something happen that makes us a contender. Guys we want to trade Cleary, Quincey, bertuzzi, and franzen are not that highly desired by other teams. As far as the players with value to trade are our young prospects that have cheap contracts. You can't replace them with someone who makes more because of cap room and in the end a slight upgrade and more contract won't help anything when you still have those original 4 eating up cap and ice time. I rather just muscle through the season and try to pick up a key asset in the off season when cleary, Quincey, bertuzzi, Sammy are all off the books... Heck only 1 of them should be playing per night and they take about 2/3 players worth of roster. In the end there is no short term solution that makes us legit contenders this season but if we push through, bring up kids, and add the RIGHT pieces not the "panic" piece it will be a lot better situation for us long run.

And then what are we doing... Riding a back up and a kid??? That should go great with Quincey and smith

when it rains, it pours...

wasn't watching... what happened to big rig

ummmm.... Did I just hear Cleary with Datsyuk and Bertuzzi... well that really should get things going... when you need to score obviously move Cleary and his -2 up instead of tatar... lol

Lucky they never make the playoffs so we wont get swept lol

Varlamov has been arrested for 2nd degree Kidnapping and 3rd degree assault. Turned him self in, and it was someone in or around his family. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/avalanche-goalie-semyon-varlamov-arrested-domestic-violence-charges-011640734--nhl.html

I believe I heard he was going through the concussion protocol... If I'm corrext

I'm not gonna lie, I was let down.... It felt like an hour long interview with highlights plugged in.... In previous years it wasn't near as many interviews and more just the fly on the wall aspect...

Sigh, we can't put anything in net.

I can not wait to see this... hopefully we are like the caps from the first year... slumping going in, end on a high note..

So far only thing I saw about suspensions was that Neal was getting a phone call and it will be less then 5 games... both guys should get multiple games but we both know Thornton will get the book thrown at him and Neal will get off with a game or two.. either way, both gutless plays, but this is back to one of the situations where the final result will dictate the action... If Marchand leaves on a stretcher the suspension on Neal is longer, if Orpik doesn't get knocked out, there is likely no suspension on Thornton...
