[edicius 3,269]

Malts in teh box. Bleh. Any Oilers in the box?

[ShanahanMan 473]

lol, that was well worth the penalty

[Flip-check 6]

Flip is a blonde-haired black-eyebrowed little wonderkind. He'll be great in years to come.

And Maltby.. smooth. =p

[Kira 451]

I haven't seen a game this crazy since the one about three or four seasons ago with St. Louis...I remember that game Joey Kocur threw a chair on the bench and got a little out of hand.

Two shifts in a row that Franzen's been out on Langer's line.

Lang sucks ass. WOW. Not only can the guy not complete a pass, nor cover his man, nor indeed skate (willingly) fast, but he also can't even get a wide open shot ON THE GOAL.

f***!

Try just Lang.

Nice job leaving your man WIDE open near the net, Lang. Been taking lessons from Lilja?

Edit: Note to Torres: if you choose to take revenge, please injure Lang.

NOOOO! We can't have Lillypads taking up centre for him!

[Guest Agalloch]

f*** Raffi Torres. Would anyone be against having Phaneuf or Bertuzzi end his career? He's the biggest douchebag in hockey. Every time someone touches a teammate of his, he goes headhunting. Obviously you can't forget the cheapshot against Williams earlier either.

C'mon Dion and Todd, at LEAST knock the guy out for the season so he learns a lesson.

forget about the chair. the best of coach Kocur went when he called

Joel Q a "*****"

Why? Becuase he stands up for his teammates? I'm not saying I like the guy, but there is no harm is being physical when guys like Kirk Maltby are taking little ***** shots after the whistle.

Anyway, Babcock needs to seriously consider giving the fourth-line lots and lots of more ice time. In the last 15 games, they have been far superior to the Lang/Cleary/Williams line. At some point you have to reward them.

[Kp-Wings 3]

Pretty good game so far. Glad to see Filppula get a goal. Hopefully he starts getting more ice time rather than the NHL's worst second line.

Kudos to Maltby on that hit on Torres too.

Im totally digging the Wings physicality tonight. That's what I like to see.

HELL YEAH FOR VAL! I loved how excited Huds, Flip, and Langfeld were!

Maltby's late hit was hilarious for some reason. LOVED it.

I can still see Quennville with his eyes wide open, scared sh#$less as though Joey was going to come over the glass and proceed to commence a beatdown. It was funny too that all the Blues on the ice were staying away from the Wings bench too, IIRC Mickey was commenting on it too.

I think it's more Babcock trying to address that line's weak defense.

[Guest Agalloch]

Anyone see the first and second line comparison in the pregame?

Over the past three games, Zetterberg and Datsyuk alone have had seventeen points. Three games. Not even including Holmstrom.

Over the past fifteen games, Cleary, Lang, and Williams have combined for twelve points. Fifteen games. Twelve points. Three players.

If there's a worse second line than that, please let me know.

[Kira 451]

My fear is that we will expend so much energy tonight that we won't have anything left for Nashville tomorrow night. I hope that isn't the case, but it's a fear in the back of my mind.

Here comes round three...what in the hell else can happen?

It makes Marcus' heart sad when Pavel doesn't have goals or points in a game

HE NEEDS at least 2 more goals by Sunday. Some ransom thing I read about.
