HE'S A WARRIOR. PUT HIS FACE IN THE WINGED WHEEL!!!!! Here comes Dano!

Hello operator I would really like to win this game please can you put scoring on the line I don't care if you have to interrupt the call he is currently on this is a medical emergency

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

Helm and Sheahan together is dangerous. I was saying that the other day in a GDT that Sheahan could also play the wing, but someone said they don't like it when guys come off their regular position. Sheahan can do it, Z can do it, Franzen used to be a centre. Sheahan has the skill to pay wherever the hell he wants! Keep that kid up fo good yo!

Gosh, it's like the Wings cannot score a goal without a miracle, literally. That Kronwall goal against LA WAS a miracle. They just cannot get a clear shot to go in.

ugh cleary back

He gets my vote for the Masterton trophy.

[dirtydangles 1,328]

Sheahan and Jurco with least ice time - most chances created too. Well played babcock

[Dabura 12,207]

All of you ripping Babcock, I bet every team except maybe a hand full would fire their coach right now to hire Babcock

With a healthy roster, he is one of the best in the business IMO

To be fair, "With a healthy roster, he is one of the best" isn't really the greatest defense. The best coaches are the ones who work wonders with paper-thin rosters.

I'm not saying he isn't good. He's arguably the best coach in the league. But you don't sometimes get the feeling that the marriage...isn't what it used to be? I'm not even saying it's necessarily *a Babcock thing*. If it is in fact a thing at all, I'm saying it's *a Babcock-as-coach-of-the-Red-Wings thing*. Like, he'd go coach another team and immediately win them a Cup. Because things have just gotten that stale with the Wings.

I'm not sure anything I just said makes any sense, but I'm barely awake so yeah.

It feels like the Wings are down 7-1 instead of 3-1. Toronto is up 3-0 in the 2nd against Phoenix. The Wings desperately need to find a way to dig deep and come away with points tonight.

Howard won't return due to lower body injury, Wings said.

[HockeytownRules19 902]

Jeff Riger tweeted... Howard lower body injury will not return

All of a sudden i feel like watching the Beavis and Butt-head episode prank call.....as I go upstairs to get my Beavis and Butt-head DVD collection.

Actually, a lot of our forwards can play different positions. Something we rarely talk about.

Babcock's tendency to play oldies + Holland's tendency to sign oldies = disaster. If one side of this equation disappears you get something useful. Either you have less oldies to play or fewer of the oldies on the ice all the time.

Groin.

[Rick D 350]

Did Jimmy poop his pants, or did I hear Mickey wrong??

[joesuffP 1,746]

For the first time ever I don't think the wings will make the playoffs. I hope We get a coaching change and the kids are put in a position to succeed next year

Top this Cleary car!

[kipwinger 8,524]

Missed the first two periods, anybody want to fill me in on how we look...hopefully without devolving into a "Sammy, Clearly, Bert, Quincey" tirade.

[wingfan1991 221]

Helm is amazing! Blues are on steroids man this is one tough team to beat... exactly like SJ. We need full team to beat these guys no chance with tonight's lineup.

Not really, because our oldies suck balls.

All your oldie are belong to us.

Groin.

What else is new. Throw him in the IR pile with the other groin injuries. f***! Good thing he's been saving 40 shots a game lately.

[joesuffP 1,746]

2 quick goals after a decent first and the wings gave up
