[Electrophile 3,554]

Nick? As in Lidstrom? Did I miss something??!!!?

Yup, kook posted a gif of him dropping an f-bomb on the bench.

NO WAY!!! That' SO un-Nick like!!!!!

edit: That didn't look like an F bomb, but maybe it's just me.

That was right after he took a puck on the foot, so it made a lot of sense to me. I'm no expert lip reader though.

[greenrebellion 415]

Games certainly are exciting these days, but its probably not good that we need 5+ goals a game to win!!

[titanium2 867]

Yeah I feel good about the win but not all that good. They still can't keep the puck out of the net.

[kook_10 1,705]

[titanium2 867]

Yeah I'm not quite sure what Mule is saying there.

+1 on the .gif.

[edicius 3,269]

kook rules.

[titanium2 867]

Could Mule possibly be saying something in Swedish?

[Vladiator 116]

I'm pretty sure that the Mule yelled out "YEAH...F$$K YEAH"

[titanium2 867]

Hmm... Is Kronwall having trouble adjusting to the right side?

[zombi 43]

Yes! I was hoping that someone was going to make a GIF out of that clip when I first saw it.

By the way, what program do you use for doing that?

[Miss Wing Queen 154]

There's gotta be an easier way to do it than I have been. I used CamStudio (free) to make a screen capture .avi, iWisoft Free Video Converter to make the gif, Easy Gif Animator (trial - about to expire) to export the .gif to individual files for each frame, Adobe Illustrator to make the captions, Photoshop to put the captions on the frames, and Easy Gif to piece it back together. This one and the Nick one were kinda pains in the butt though because you need so many frames to read lips.

I think this is in Swedish too.

I could almost watch these all day. The Nick one gets me every time. Great job! Now we just need one for Babs when he's gone on a mini tirade.

Draper proving how loyalty can pay dividends. Great game.

You can use Photoshop to make your captions and save a step.

[puckloo39 5,686]

I miss Downey. And Babs is the best...

[casey holmstrom 14]

YEAH! MOTHA FUGGA!!!!!!!!!!

wish i watched this game in its entirety instead of running the replay machine for the Muskegon Lumberjacks getting destroyed by the Green Bay Gamblers tonight. This game plus two beers from Arcadia Brewing company were the only good things that happened to me all day.

[Broken 16 381]

I thought zetterberg had a great game, but it didn't show in his numbers until he got that assist in OT. He had a couple of Datsyukish moves tonight too.

We really got to tighten up our defensive strategies. We can't expect to win playoff series by scoring 5+ goals every night.

I'm totally making a .GIF of Franzen saying M***** F***** at the end. That was classic

Winning games 5-4 right now is actually a positive imo. They aren't going to be able to fully put the defensive game together until some more crucial components come back. Winning games in this fashion is nothing more than honing of talent until the troops get back. As long as Babcock can keep Lidstrom's TOI to a respectable level and keep the kids skating, we'll be fine.

Well the d sucked but with Datsyuk, Cleary and Stuart out you have to expect the team would get worse defensively.

[Rivalred 630]

I have to say, people were been skeptical of the Wings keeping Miller around.

Well, hope that tune has changed.

After a long underwhelming start he has definifely begun to play better and make an impact on the ice. However, two games against the Jackets does not a season make. He's a likable guy and we'd all like to see him continue to play well and stay as a result.

I feel he has played to expectations and then some as nothing more than a 4th line grinder and PK was wanted

[chrisdetroit 189]

In the last 10 games the Wings are 6-2-2 which translates into 14 points in 10 games for a 0.700 point percentage.

This is even with all the injuries. Remarkable. I'm thinking that there are fans of other teams looking at this and are not happy.

0.700 WITH the injuries....

I feel like there was there was an expectation of development in there too, despite his age and origins elsewhere, and that's why he was kept in favor of others. Wings grinders don't stay 4th liners forever, and he doesn't fit the mold of a plug. His PK has definitely come along, but he had been invisible 5 on 5 for a long stretches this season. If he keeps it up on the O side, he will certainly be all that everyone hoped for and possibly more.
