Babcock said Ouellet is in for Kindl today. Alfredsson in for Bertuzzi.

Howard is able to dress as backup. Babcock confirms he had flu.

Wow, was pretty scary when it looked like Paterson was dressing. Good news.

[wingfan1991 221]

Thank God Kindl is out!

[matt198913 932]

I think we are looking at a very real possibility of the third D pairing being Sproul and Oulette

[TheDetroitRedWings 286]

Really glad to see Ouellet is in for Kindl! Now if we could only call up Almquist and Sproul, and sit Lashoff and Quincey I'd be truly happy.

Not happy, I liked Burt last game.

Kindl on the other hand can suck it. This move should have been done months ago, not down 3-1. Just like always the Wings have a delayed reaction.

Hanta Yo Baby!

I like Bert over Alfie at this point. I doubt whatever Alfie's problem was (I'm assuming injury) is fixed yet.

And also, I still have faith! Let's go wings!

The Montreal Canadiens where down 3-1 to the Boston Bruins and came back and beat them 3-4. So there is no reason why Detroit can't do the same.

Agreed.

Now that he's lost his starting job to a kid who's never been in a playoff game, maybe his time on the Wings is finally up.

Though I just realized he's signed for 3 more years. Another of Holland's bad contracts considering Kindl had done little to warrant a 4 year deal.

so maybe trade or buyout??

I'd say trade if anything. A buyout would be nice, but we may have to buyout Stephen Weiss and his even more ridiculous contract.

Won't happen as compliance buyout won't work on him. I say we give him one more chance next season before decisions are made.

Babcock said Alfredsson skated great in practice Friday, as great as he's skated in a long time.

Buyout Franzen or Kindl

Paid for my gf's new shoes today just to watch this game without disctraction so Wings proof me right please. I'm not expecting much just an honest 60 minutes effort.

[RyanBarnes! 293]

Ok Alf, this is your chance to prove how much you wanna win.

If we win today, your gf get's new shoes every Game 5 from now until we lose one, right?

Small price to pay, really.

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

I wish the puck would drop already!

If we make a series out of this, no question :-)

Stanley Cup Playoffs, and instead of pregame we get...soccer highlights?

Oh NBC. You just don't ******* get it, do you?

[Andy Pred 48 337]

good luck boys, hopefully we'll get some bounces our way and take it to a game #6.

Fargo's NBC station is showing an NDSU football game. To make things worse, it's NDSU vs NDSU. Yeah, they're playing themselves. Green vs Gold.

This is beyond idiotic.

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

Ok. I might as well do this now, since it may be the last time.

I'm gonna give butt pats.

Win or lose, we've had our fair share of adversity this year, and despite my depression, the future is bright. See you on the other side, y'all.

*pats butts*

[Dabura 12,207]

Strader!
