I'm looking at that Penalty Kill percentage and thinking to myself, "Please, God...let NY commit 5 penalties tonight. PLEASE!"

I think the Isles have a pretty good record the last few games in Detroit. And you're right, penalties are the Achilles heel for the Isles. Looking forward to a good one tonight. We might be getting Boychuk and Hamonic back in the lineup so that's a huge boost on the blue line.

17-7-8 sure looks better than 17-15 am I right?

I hate the loser point. The points system needs an overhaul.

I prefer to think of them as ties and that we refused to participate in the stupid shootouts, which is actually an entirely accurate description of how we handle them.

3 straight games without an even strength goal. that needs to change asap

 

[Cobiemonster]

I like the system the way it is - it makes things really interesting at the end of the season

We need this win badly to spark the boys & get steamrolling again! A victory tonight in regulation would certainly turn momentum around & ignite confidence back into our team! GOOOOOOOOOOO WIIIIIIIIIIINGS!!!!!!!!

 

[sherbert1421]

Solid hit by Datsyuk on tavares

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

One shot apiece 8 minutes into the game.

 

[sherbert1421]

Finally! A zetterberg goal and even strength goal

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Zetterberg breaks free from his 10-game scoring drought.

1-0 Wings! 2 shots apiece now, lol.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Who gets more blame? Howard or Big Error?
