100% agree with you. Hank and Dats need to be given some time back together to get the scoring going. Yes it would be nice to spread out the depth at times, but I think right now Detroit needs to pick up the offensive production, so going with what we know works is the best approach. The second line has been just fine and will get better. 3rd and 4th lines can be jumbled a little bit to find our best energy and shutdown line.

I'm looking at things your way too...I like your line combos as well...Not sure if it's just me but I'm not a fan of the Bert-Z-Cleary line at all....I know the whole team needs to step up but that line looks really lost on the ice. I mean our grinders look decent: Maltby is one of our scoring leaders so far , May is doing his job , and Draper is chipping in. I think we need to give the Fins the second line mins to get them going, and re-unite the eurotwins is the best idea I've herd in a while.

Really was a fast period.!! Wings need to step up..The Hawks are really fast...I miss the puck controling Wings

Agreed!!! A massive youth movement must be in play for the Sharks. According to Capgeek.com they only have 10 forwards, 5 D, and now its added back up goalie Thomas Greiss to their roster assuming hes called up as Nabokov's backup. They have less than $5M and about 5 spots to fill. Should be an interesting year for the Sharks. Cap Geek As for the Nucks their D core looks good, but not great. They have a nice combination of vets and youth with many different attributes. Still no elite puck moving defenseman. When the Wings and Nucks meet I'm thinking the Wings line of Bert-Flip-Mule is starting to sound better and better. Bert and Mule causing all kinds of comotion while Flip sets up the play, should be fun playing Vancouver this year.

I have always had a soft spot for the Sabres out East and then actually meeting Derek Roy (a great guy) and his family keeps a small spot in my heart for them. I like watching the Caps, Bruins, and Flyers for entertainment value. I don't really like picking any team out West just cause most piss me off at times minus the Kings. I used to credit the Islanders a lot just because they found ways to slip into the playoffs before with a half ass roster and always some turmoil in the management or coaching positions in recent history. Although they have only been in the playoffs once since the lockout I think they will build up young and make things interesting again. So if I had to pick 4 teams after the Wings 1. Detroit (obvious) 2. Sabres 3. Caps 4. Bruins 5. Islanders

I know man me too....I'm still hearing it ringing in my ears lol

They just made a good point about how important the home wins over the Sharks were....Which makes me hope the Wings do finish a head of the Sharks in case we play them in the Western Conference finals. I mean the regular season does count for something the biggest for the Wings could be home ice over the Sharks!

Kopecky really is EVERYWHERE....hes heating up so much that McCormick just got in his face begging him to go back to his old self.

I would love to see this too and in the not so distant future Kindl thrown into the mix.

For those who are watching the game on channelsurfing and can't get Yahoo to work. atdhe.net seems to be working again and it comes in more clear than channelsurfing in full screen mode. http://atdhe.net/live-tv.php?i=12260926

http://atdhe.net/live-tv.php?i=12260926 It's working for me now and its a little more clear than: http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-yahoo-....php?w=12260926 CHEERS!!!!!!!!!

Clement makes me laugh every year. Yeah San Jose said they wanted a little extra grit at the trade deadline so getting someone like Clement to ride their nuts might be what they need We are the team that others love to hate and I see this a lot living between Ottawa and Toronto. Having a family side with one of the two. The leafs fans think we have won enough recently. I guess it's tough when your franchise becomes a seller but they load up on half ass goalies on the deadline Most TSN analysts did favor the Wings this year except for that goof Hodge who says the Bruins are going to win the East in a landslide and play the Flames.

I will second that...My night is set...Now a big win by the big red machine will cap it
