Louisville

It's going to get real ugly around here once we lose a stretch of bad games.... 7-1-1 people....c'mon

Now that ou bring this up, George Malik mentioned something on his visor after the Hawks games, I think late November and December should be a good time for the Wings as everyone starts to feel more comfortable. Be nice to have the Mule back ASAP too.

Nah, they'll just fire their coach again.

It's only been one game with the grind line back together, and their play didn't really have an outcome on this game. I can already anticipate what people are going to say, and unless there is an injury, forget it. But Babcock's comments about the reunited grind line before the game was this, It's fine if our fourth line doesn't contribute much, but they need to be what a 4th line needs to be...Crashing and banging. Keeping the d-men on their toes when they retrieve the puck. Crashing the net. Talking trash after the play. Didn't see that much tonight. I'll remain hopeful that will change. I'm not even asking for Drake-kamikazee style hits, but just something to create energy and pump the team up. Why Maltby doesn't use his body more is something I don't understand. At least with Drake we had guys looking over their shoulder, and he was solid on the PK. McCarty is something we will have to wait and see, because if he isn't fighting or on special teams then it's going to be hard to even figure what his job really is. Draper is fine. Still great on face offs (an underrated stat IMO) and is a much better skater than the other two. Seems like he always steps his game up in the playoffs too. I'm not real worried about it though. I respect the Wings' loyalty factors, and I think they will figure it out in the end.

Never count out the Wings, JACKASS!

Lame PP

How there wasn't a penalty on the Kings right there I don't understand.

Only game streamed on hockey webcasts tonight.

fyi, Hossa named 'Third Star Of The Week'

Any word/thoughts on who is playing with Zetterberg tonight? I'd like to see Cleary up there..

lol, not to mention blaming a goalie for losing an entire playoff series is getting a little old..

What do you mean how? It's not like they do full body searches for a smoke bomb and they are not very big either. Although, WHY someone would bring one is beyond me.

I guess you could say Sutter couldn't handle all the Weight

Going to the game tonight.

I thought it was Zetterberg....and I believe shortly after his injury is when D and Z got back together.

That is hilarious. And here I thought we gave Pronger a hard time, but that is really giving a player some s***.

Man, Bucci is always so good. My favorite excerpt:

That'll teach Keith Jones to pick them as the Stanley Cup winner!

Under the Lights Pretty cool they're doing this. Episode premieres Thursday, Oct. 30 at 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m on FSD chronicling Justin Abdelkader, Cory Emmerton, Mattias Ritola, Thomas McCollum and their experiences through training camp. There is also a preview available on the link provided.

No problem! I encourage all Wings fans to definitely follow George Malik's "Snapshots" blog. He's always updating Wings related news and posts stuff quickly from what the team is doing, injuries, game analysis from around the net, and pretty much anything Wings related. He's also really good at linking to videos and highlights. Also, I want to add I'm pumped to see Abs featured. He grew up right by me and went to high school with all my friends. A life long Wings fan, and I'm really hoping for him to have a long career here.

I don't understand the point of unofficial retired numbers, as such is the case for 6 and 16. If no one is going to touch those numbers then why not raise the banner already?

This game was so up and down in the end of the third and OT, Dupuis' shot was perfect though.

For the first time in in his entire presidential career, George W. Bush made me happy today.

For all we know Conklin said, "I don't know how I got that one" to Rob. You guys read too much into this stuff, he made a great save and was feeling good. btw, I thought Cleary was flying out there tonight.

Yeah, living at Hidden Hills this year and loving it.
