PAvel hasnt been as good because he has NO ONE TO PLAY WITH! He had hank when hank was playing bad, and he has been stuck with cleary all season! babs needs to put Huds up there with Pavs and Homer

If the Avs put it into their own net it would be a goal. Happens every once in a blue moon.

I didn't mean if the Avs scored, I meant if the Wings scored. The Avs have pulled their goalie, and the Wings still control the puck. They score while the Avs goalie is on the bench. It didn't bounce in off an Avs player, and an Avs player didn't put it in their own goal. Does that count as a Red Wings goal, and then they go on the PK?

Can't happen because the play ends once the soon to be penalized team touches the puck.

Dynamo shift from Duchene. Looks like the Wings are going to tread water for the rest of the period...

[Electrophile 3,554]

Let's demote him to the 4th line.

Nah, bench his no-good ass.

Thanks. Guess I misunderstood peoples' responses.

Yupp that's what I said, if you think he's been good, well that's no surprise of mine because your Mr sunshine and butterflies on this site. But he just hasn't been himself this season thus far.

Crymson is Mr. Sunshine and Butterflies? Shows what you know.

Mr sunshine and butterflies

Sunshine and butterflies are supposed to be pretty, beautiful things...

You know what, I don't care what anyone says, Datsyuk has been brutal this season. It seems like his mind is elsewhere, he's trying to be creative but turning it over and not creating much offence. To get where we wanna be this year, he's gotta get it going and fast.

He's 33 and past his prime, speed is not his friend anymore. He's going to have to find a new angle to his game, maybe work on his shot. He's had a ton of shots that barely missed the net.

End 2nd.

Most teams would kill to have Datsyuk on their team.

BTW, wasn't it Giggy who we used to call the Kotex Kid because his huge pads looked like feminine sanitary products, or was that someone else? I"m pretty sure it was Giggy.

He was incredible in the playoffs last year. I think he's got plenty of Datsyuk magic left in him, but even if were a step slower he's way better than this.

Apparently not this one.

The guy was money in the playoffs last year, and would've won the Selke if not for his injury. He's just not playing well right now, I don't know what it is. Maybe the Locomotiv tragedy in the summer is still affecting him, maybe he's hurt, who knows. I don't think he's past his prime just yet, and as much as I love Dano and Homer, putting them with Datsyuk when he's struggling probably isn't the best call.

Datsyuk isn't the problem, having two pylons on his line is the problem.

I think the fact that his family is so far away in Russia must bother him from time to time. Skype can only do so much.

[Anijuice 93]

I don't think he's past his prime just in a slump. I can't recall the last time he's turned the puck over so many times in a period.

Glad we weathered the storm at the end of the 2nd there. We're looking pretty good tonight besides in the faceoff circle.

Hey, look--it's another new guy who has turned hostile because I disagreed with him once. What a surprise.

BTW, wasn't it Giggy who we used to call the Kotex Kid because his huge pads looked like feminine sanitary products, or was that someone else? I"m pretty sure it was Giggy.

Michelin Man.

3 goals is nice but maybe we can have some more. Let's get something going Wings!

You did? I don't remember that.

[edicius 3,269]

What a hooker.

No, no, not like that, Jiri.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Poor Filppula lost his goal. Ah well, still a multi-point game.
