all that pressure on the Flames for nothing and a lucky bounce the other way

Tootoo out yet he has played very well

Abdelkader might still be on 2nd line

Cleary still in the lineup

Nyquist gets to play with Datsyuk and Franzen from the jump which is good too bad Tatar wasn't given that opportunity

I thougth the lowest point of the sesaon was  a couple weeks ago when they blew lead against Columbus. But no, they lost back to back to that team again with one of the loss a shotout. This team is not just going down, it's in a free fall. And it's only will stop when two morons named Babcock and Holand will leave. I don't care who will replace them. They just need to go. As far as they are around this team will become a doormat of NHL soon. I hate to say that but Pavel would resign and rather will go back to Russia. Why to waste his remaining years for those two incompetent idiots?

The stubbornness of Babcock to keep two scrubs on a line with Datsyuk game in and game out is such a bad coaching decision and it is so clear to everyone and yet a NHL coach getting paid 7 figures cannot see it and doesn't change it.

It has only been one period and the Wings are only down one but it already feels like a loss and that is sad

His job was easy when he had guys like Lidstrom, Yzerman, Shanny and Fedorov. Add in no salary cap and players wanting to come to play here and his job was easy as pie. Now he actually has to be a GM and has no clue how to do it.

big 2 points

worth the nail biting

Datsyuk must be getting frustrated as hell playing on a line with 8 and 11. You have to give him someone to work with. It feels like we are wasting him.....

the most frustrating part is not changing his linemates for even a shift to see if anything else works

would like to see Datsyuk with Tatar and Tootoo but not all dreams come true

first prediction of the season Wings win their first shootout

3-2

uh, where was the high stick on cleary? the replay showed a shoulder-to-helmet hit.

ya i can see that not being called but the interference on Smith was a clear call that the refs passed on and the Wings got scored on not long after

i can see that interference not being called if the game had been pretty free flowing but the refs were giving the Kings 5on3's like no cover coupons outside of a new bar

Either blow the whistles the entire game or put em away for the entire game.

Blow the whistle until the Kings tie it then let them get away with everything to close it out.

Robbed of 2 points in broad daylight in front of a police station.

Also nice unbiased commentary NBC

great hustle by Tootoo to cause that goal

2nd Line: Cleary-Datsyuk-Abdelkader

tonight's game should have a been a W injuries or not

only players i want back are Helm, Smith and Bert he has good chemistry with Datsyuk

Franzen only shows up once every 8-10 games anyway
