[Wingers17 8]

Man, that was a great game!! It looked like it was going to go on and on and on.... Hope the Wings can keep it up.

Eaves was great, it's funny now that the wings won!!

....patiently preparing his crow stew! Smells good, cannot wait to eat it!

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

HE PULLED A WIDEMAN HAHAHAHAHAAH

lol this!!! I hope someone has youtubed Eaves shoot out attempt.

[cjm502 165]

J-Ho is my hero.

[FUUFNF 1]

Damn ... if LA and Colorado wins, we could still be in 8th.

After going on this tear, we could still be in 8th ??!!

The important thing is that we're pulling away from Calgary.

[newfy 695]

Jimmeh!!

I can just see Jimmy in his wheelchair going crazy if he was a red wings fan.

Gotta love South park

[dirtydangles 1,328]

solid win for jimmeh - we all thought both top lines would turn it on.... welll we jinxed them. but its cool, kronwall stepped up and with jimmeh.

[Guest Four]

We should all be honoring Howie by buying his jersey already!

[dat's sick 1,002]

My biggest worry about having a rookie goaltender as a starter in the playoffs is how he deals with pressure of any and all kinds... Howard has proven since the Olympic break, especially tonight, that he's the guy who can handle it. He's been awesome through our drive to the playoffs, and now we're all but in. Wasn't as exciting as some goalie duels, but both goalies - both teams - had great solid defensive games. If the Wings keep the attitude they've brought in the past week, they should definitely beat Edmonton (finally) on Tuesday.

Go Wings!

He made some really big saves tonight at the end of the 3rd with the game on the line. All signs point to Howie being able to handle pressure just fine.

Playoffs is a different beast though, but if the team plays good I think Howard will be able to give us the goaltending we need.

[Drake_Marcus 890]

Great game by the Wings. Howie was brilliant! I still can't get over how clutch that toe save was.

Ericsson was good again. All the lines played well. This was a really playoff feeling game.

Does anyone else think Burtuzzi's wrist or shoulder is injured? He refuses to shoot the puck... it's starting to get infuriating again. Someone should slap that man and tell him he's not Pavel Dat-*******-syuk.

Edit:

Actually that's not fair to Pavel-- his hockey sense is excellent and he's willing to shoot when it's the right decision.

Playoff chances are now ranked at 99.6%. We were at 34.3% a month ago.

And hey, I picked both games right in the weekend picks for a change!

[adubs 8]

Wings,

as much as I do not like your team, please stay in sixth place.

Signed,

Flames fan

+1 ... since the Olympic break, we've had to play like playoff mode to get in and Howie seems to be doing okay with the pressure. I know it will step up another notch but good to see Howie respond. Don't worry, he's got Ozzie mentoring him throughout the playoffs.

[egroen 384]

Nashville is literally the only team in the NHL I hope the Wings can avoid in the playoffs... they just always give the wings fits.

Hats off of to Trotz, the most underrated coach in the league.

[FireCaptain 563]

Holy F'ing ESSS!! What a game!! Glad I was there!!!! vids to come!!

[Guest screwdahawks]

Eaves deserves some major credit. He sacrificed himself to throw Rinne off his game.

Eaves is brilliant, his plan worked perfectly.

All Hail Eaves.

LOL Rinne was still laughing his ass off when Kronner took his shot:lol:

I agree with this 100%

For me, the 'Nucks are right up there too as a team I don't want to face, but the Preds would be the #1 team I for sure would love for them to avoid.

Gotta love Eavesy.

Makes an embarrassment of himself and still gets up with a smile from ear to ear.

[McAwesome 754]

The desert dogs just put the icing on their cake, EN goal, 6-2 win over the Divealanche.

Now let's go Stars

[Vladifan 680]

What.a.game! I was bored silly or bellowing for 60-plus minutes, and then all wondrous hell breaks loose. BLESS their tired aching buns, they pulled it off and never really gave up. And the game-winners for us? A forward we (me too) often mock; and a defenseman who has always been known for his timely hits, not his soft hands.

I am SO damn proud of them. I want to think that their plane ride back to Deetroit was one of the best they've had in some time.

[diehardredwing19 11]

DETROIT HOCKEY! CLAP CLAP CLAP DETROIT HOCKEY! CLAP CLAP CLAP DETROIT HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brett 1,029]

howard so deserved a shutout with the way hes played all year

[Echolalia 2,961]

I am SO damn proud of them. I want to think that their plane ride back to Deetroit was one of the best they've had in some time.

Moreso because of Eaves' shootout attempt than because of the win
