Echolalia

You didn't see? One of their players fought Abdelkader really fast in front of the net when he went for a loose puck! And another one fought Nyqvist in the back when he was in the corner protecting the puck! There's fights galore out there! You gotta keep your eyes open DeGraa55, they're tough to see when the refs don't actually give them fighting majors.

That third line is doing work

There's been six fights already tonight... according to some clowns lol

boy that was a game-changer. i bet the boys are awake after that one

lol eagle eye Dan never misses a thing from center ice

That powerplay looked pretty good... well despite the whole not scoring thing.

100% shooting percentage stays alive

I know how you feel. Every game I decide to watch makes me feel terribly guilty for not studying, and those precious couple hours lost definitely reflect in my grades, which makes it worse.

I want 110%

When you say you used to watch Ovi fight a handful of times each year, if you're including fights like these where nobody throws a punch and they just hug eachother, I can see how you got to that number. I guess by that definition I've watched Franzen fight a few times a year, too. They weren't good fights, but thats not my problem.

The site technically wasn't wrong. In the 2013 fight you posted, they were given roughing minors, not fighting majors, which is why it wasn't included on hockeyfights

I only ask that the rest of the team doesn't take the night off if Datsyuk happens to return.

the Griffins, but its tomorrow night so just read my comment in like 20 hours and respond.

Is anyone watching the game tongiht

You mentioned that you think the Datsyuk Helm Weiss line is doomed to fail, and followed that up by saying none of the three of them averages more than 130-140 shots/year. That suggests that you expect the line to fail because they allegedly don't shoot the puck much, which is what Son of a Wing addressed by using a much more accurate shots/game average. Their season totals are that low due primarily to injuries, and to use full-season shot total to predict what kind of offensive output we can expect IS skewing stats (or at the very least is a poor choice of statistical values to use). With your value of 135 shots/year, it suggests an average of 1.6 shots/game, which is much lower than what they actually shoot. His response has absolutely nothing to do with playing a full season.

So we have Datsyuk on the third line now? That could be fun to watch

I can't imagine the more interesting stuff is fit for tv Then again, I knew this kid who was a total agitator, and he wouldn't say a single word on the ice. Just play physical, borderline dirty, slash some ankles, and didn't respond at all to any chirps. Sometimes I wondered whether that pissed off the other team more than chirping them would have.

Are you for real in Buffalo? How has all that snow been

Lol Mickey... "I'll get to this promo in a second"

I can't believe it

Nice juicy rebound!

Aside from a poor first shift, I agree with you on Weiss.

18 shots to 7?? It really didn't seem that one-sided

Glendening with the mic should be good Weiss has some adapting to do.

It does make me excited for what's on the horizon. edit: for the record, I think its worth mentioning that while we haven't put together a long streak of victories in a row, yet, the Wings are still right in the thick of things, with the teams around us having played more games. This implies that we probably haven't experienced the losing streaks that some of these other teams have endured also.
