Let Cleary or Abdelkader sit for a game. All the points they got on Dats' wings must have them exhausted.

Our organization is either having a meltdown or a trade is in the works involving White and Nyquist.

Babcock meltdown seems more likely though.

[MidMichSteve 1,115]

Hudler dominates the wings with a hat trick in the 3rd period.

[MasterPavel 115]

Happy, happy, happy

Have you ever seen a dog staring at a fan? Just kinda sits there and tilts his head from side to side for hours. Either Babs is a mad genious, or...

OR...

“We have a game today. They have to be desperate for points and we have to be desperate for points,” Babcock said. “Our road record isn’t good enough. We think we’ve done lots of good things as a team of late, and yet, we’ve won when we give up one (goal). When we give up two (goals) we haven’t won, so we have to continue to play well without the puck, and we have to find a way to generate offense. Our power play is 19th in the league at home and it’s 0-fer on the road, so we have to fix that, and just continue to get better.”

“We just got Franzen back a few games ago and he’s turning around, and the difference between him and Fil, Fil was able to skate while he was injured, so obviously that’s a big boost for us,” Babcock said. “For Z to have someone to go with and (Pavel) Datsyuk to have someone to go with I think that’s real important. We’re average to say the least without those guys.”

What in the wide, wide, world of sports is-a-goin-on here??

Tatar down...Nyquist up...2nd line...3rd line...healthy scratch??

Trade?

I hope the Wings ride into Calgary and work up a number 6 on them!

[WINGS & FLOW 25]

Filp is in the lineup tonight! YAY

[Vladifan 680]

AND WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY TRADE NYQUIST??!! If that's the case, they better be getting something really REALLY good for their idiocy..

How does Flip have to prove you wrong?

Yeah cant see a trade happening with Nyquist, unless its a block buster. People complained about the lines, now they are mixed up people assume trade But who knows???? I heard they are going after Byfuglien hard

Is Babcock trying to play mind games with the Flames coach? Just sit Cleary already. Or better yet, gift him to Calgary.

I can just picture it now. Cleary sitting in a wicker basket, wrapped up in a bow right outside the Flames' locker room.

[Anijuice 93]

Back to 4th if we win tonight. Let's do this eh

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

Ok I am over the craziness and ready for a good hard spanking by the Wings! I would prefer that said spanking be directed toward the Flames, but beggars can't be choosers so I'm willing to take one for the team. LGW!

Wings 6 (Brunns, Pav, 2 for Gus just because, Miller Time, and Helm by telekinesis), Flames 3 (the aforementioned Hudler Hattie in the 3rd period).

Here's to 2 points in regulation, ladies and gents!

Do you have a source for the Byfuglien trade? I for one wouldn't mind him here, give us some more size and snarl on the blue line, or we could move him back to forward and park him in front of the net.

I could tell you as someone who lives in Winnipeg that none of Wheeler, Kane, Buff, Ladd, Little, Bogosian or Pavelec will be traded this year. Doubtful that Enstrom will move either, but there's more of a chance that he'd move than Bogo or Buff.

Side note, still 13:20 left in Habs/Sens game. They better wrap that up before the Wings game starts.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

GO WINGS!

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Be interesting to see how tonight goes. Virtually no grit in the line-up, but a ton of skill with Nyquist in and Fil back. Hope it pays off, I guess.

Just someone I know on twitter, but its not confimed. Its going to take alot to pry him away

Hopefully the insertion of skill translates into goals. I wish Tatar was still in the line up though.
