Don't look now, but Chicago is only 4 points behind us. We could actually finish fourth. When is the last time that happened?

DECADES!!!!!

It's getting scary. At this point every team below us is catching up. Even through the great streak they were on, they were pulling out wins last minute, getting fortunate goals, etc. It wasn't like they were killing teams. Now it seems like every break is going against them. The breaks I guess...

I'm seriously concerned. They really need to get a win tonight. The caps are another team playing for their playoff lives. The wings better get that playoff intensity going or they'll have trouble winning another game the rest of this season.

U GUYS ARE FUKIN ANYOING IM GONNA COME DOWN THERE AND KILL ALL YALL THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED UR TEAM WAS OSGOOD AND OSSGOOD SUKS 2 JUST LIKE UR WHOLE FUKIN TEAM I HOPE U HEARD THIS AND THINK CAUSE ALL I GOT TO SAY TO U IS UR A BUNCH OF FUKIN IDIOTS BARONS A HOOSER CUSE HE WENT TO UR TEAM AND I HOPE U GUYS SHOULD SEND UR TEAM TO ANOTHER CITY CAUSE U GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF FUKIN WHINERS GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --- A canucks fan on stltoday.com

This was so funny I had to set it as my sig.

4 points but we also have a game in hand. With only 10 games remaining that is a pretty big deal. We also have 2 more ROW so we have the tie breaker. 4 points ahead, a game in hand and 2 ROW ahead, 10 games remaining (nine for the Hawks) it ain't great but it isn't really that close either.

Going to the game tonight, excited to see Nyquist with Datsyuk. It's what everyone has been squawking for on the boards recently, and it could either go great or end up on the cutting room floor a few shifts into the game. My last game at the Joe was 6-0 over the Wild. Hopefully we get a repeat of that game.

Excited for this one. I think we can build off the play of last game and we FINALLY break the powerless play streak.

I know they don't really have any options and so I can't blame them for doing it, but I for one don't like the idea of Nyquist and Datsyuk together. To me, their styles are too similar and they don't really compliment one another. Like I said, I know they don't have a choice, but I'm not expecting this pairing to mesh well.

2 guys with speed, hands, good passing, and the ability to score goals? Based on your logical Filp and Zetterberg should be split up. Give the kid top 6 minutes until Franzen gets back - this way they can bump Hudler when the yellow streak down his back becomes ever prominent when things start to get rough in the playoffs.

Looong time. Finished 5th in 1990 (Norris Division). Up to 3rd in 1991. No worse than 2nd since Central Division.

If we're not going to win home ice, I would almost rather see the Wings finish 6th in the West. I think Detroit would have a better chance in a road series against Dallas/Phoenix/San Jose/ LA than Nashville. The main downside to that would be the travel.

Please just win! Washington didn't look good at all in Chicago. Flip will hit 60 points tonight!

Thank You TeeMan

Wings f*** up this week, we'll be in 6th place next week, probably to stay.

Let's hope they can stop the train wreck tonight.

So here's another game against a team fighting for a playoff spot. The Caps may be mediocre this year but I think they'll still be giving it their best shot seeing the position they're in. I think this should be a good match up between the two. Also, I'm excited about seeing Nyquist and Datsyuk together! I hope that line clicks well tonight!
