Good luck, Dash!

Thanks WW, same to you, Higgy, and all other Wings posters here. I hope the fans at the Joe recognize and appreciate Happy Hudler in his first return to the Joe tonight, he's been a nice addition to the Flames.

/great pic above by the way, four classy guys (two in uniform and the two guys in suits ain't shabby either).

Gotta go to the store, but I should be back no later than the 2nd period, in case you get worried.

GO WINGS!!!

Good luck, Dash!

^This, uhh, I suppose...

/Can't wait for the zebras to call a late Flames penalty with about 8:00 minutes left in the 3rd period - Dare I say BOOK IT!

No coaching for me tonight; hooray I get to hang out with the regulars for a change, instead of catching the later part of the game, then staying up late to watch it again on Center Ice.

 

[detroit_schlegs]

The Wings are wounded on the backline, we'll see how bad that affects them tonight.

Damn Quincey putting us on a 5 on 3. He hurts us when hes not even on the ice too

 

[detroit_schlegs]

2-0 already, a Iginla and Glencross get a couple behind Jimmy.

That's what tends to happen whenever you let desperation dominate your thinking. When Holland got him last season, I thought someone had waggled that shiny crystal in front my eyes, and when I came out of that trance, nothing had changed, he was still on our roster, and for a first rounder to boot. That had to be one of the Wings worst investments in some time - this guy is an accident waiting to happen, period!

Mike will be milking Kronwall and Ericsson to death with TOI tonight. By the end of the game they'll be skating on their tongues.

I don't even have time to bitch at Ericsson anymore, cause Quincey is doing such a horrible job... Ericsson isn't even noticeable anymore lol. He has been playing smarter hockey though

 

[detroit_schlegs]

He has to now if he plans to remain with this organization, but for Quincey, the true bottom line in my eyes, that these people running this team don't seem to get is that, you can move the ship when the anchor is jammed into the reef.

 

[detroit_schlegs]

... can't ... (not can)

 

[dash]

I can't watch tonight's game (other commitments), but I hope the Flames can manage to pull out a win. Isn't a 2-0 lead the worst lead in hockey?

 

[Zwings40]

Kipper is playing well and we are missing wide open nets

 

[Zwings40]

2-1, Z with a nice pass and Mule roofed it backhand.

Iggy gets a penalty shot and doesn't score. I actually thought it wasn't a bad play by E, even tho he got beat

 

[sherbert1421]

Huge stop by Howard on the penalty shot

 

[sherbert1421]

It amazes me how often the wings get outnumbered in puck battles along the boards on the powerplay
