s***ty officiating both ways that game. Was surprised Helm didn't get a matching embellishment penalty there.

Glad we came out with a W on this one, but the NHL really needs to look into fixing its officiating problem...

Yay! A win I actually got to see! I would still love to have a defenseman that makes a difference in the game, but a win is a win. Nice to see the powerplay is setting up well, all they need is a few goals and it will gain some confidence. Again, a defenseman who actually makes a difference would help there too...

Not a well played game tonight, but the leaders stepped up and the team started skating in the 3rd and were much better. Babs hopefully keeps these lines moving forward because things are getting done when Pav and Hank are together and the kids even started skating better too. The highlight of thegame for me? Brendan Smith on the PP! Did anyone else notice that Smitty shot the puck 3 or 4 times in that short amount of time? That is what our PP is lacking and that is what Smith can bring the PP so PLAY HIM!

Franzen would not really make a difference when he comes back. The PP was horrible when he was in, and it still is. The ONLY thing Franzen is going to do when healthy is bump a more deserving player out of the lineup. I only mention him in response to someone above me saying put him back in and we will be dangerous. Franzen is more than replaceable with better players that are in our organization.

Ridiculous.

Jurco and Nesty are not playing better then Franzen before he got hurt.

You really think Nestrasil offers more than Franzen? Franzen was actually playing well before the injury and the Wings can't score goals. The Red Wings clearly need more top-six players and Franzen (as infuriating as he can be) still produces much more than the alternatives on this team.

Jurco and Nesty have100X more energy than Franzen and actually have the other team turning around to watch them scrambling all over the ice. Franzen one dimensional and ALL teams know his inconsistencies... I am not denying the fact that before his well expected injury, he was playing good. I did praise him by saying one game "Who is this Franzen guy and what did he do with my Francine..." but that doesn't mean that he is going to bring anything more to the table that he doesn't normally bring. I guess I should have used the term IMO, he is replaceable. I happen to think that the chemistry that Jurco brings to this team with Tatar and Sheahan, is better than throwing Franzen in there to float around and put up 5 points in 4 games every couple of months...then get injured again. The team is cruising along no worse now than what it was with him in the lineup, and its not like he is going to return and put up 40 goals this season, he is not a difference maker. That is the tell-tale right there.
