[The Q stache]

How crazy is it that the Hawks are 4th in the division but still 6th in the conference. Really crazy to believe when you hear the Hawks were in the middle of a 9 game losing streak last week.

If the Hawks want to go on another 9 game losing streak, that's fine by me. Might as well start that streak tonight.

I'll pass, I'd like to have a game winning and losing streak in the same season. Has that ever happened before?

Probably, but it would take some googling to verify. I know the Flames had an 11 game losing streak in the '86 season and still ended up going to the Cup finals before losing to the Habs.

Sounds like a plan. Red Wings set out to end win streaks this week. Hawks 3 game and the Nucks road win streak on Thursday.

Babcock: "Everything is real good. (Datsyuk) had fragment in his knee, an old thing we wanted to clear up prior to playoff time.''

Babcock: "This way we have an opportunity to get (Datsyuk) going 100 percent before playoff time.''

Wings have 12 forwards, no need to recall anybody for now.

#RedWings #PavelDatsyuk out 2 weeks minimum, had knee scoped this morning. #Zetterberg centers top line, Filppula, Helm, Emmerton, 2, 3 & 4.

 

[puckhead]

what a fucked up organization

With Toews out, Morrison goes from healthy scratch to centering top line for #Blackhawks

lol...Embrace the hate, puck.

/I'm surprised Bolland doesn't get the top line center gig...

Speaking of knee scopes, my daughter had her knee scoped this morning, all went well and hopefully she'll have a quick recovery time.

 

[puckhead]

well this was inevitable

 

[higgyfan4]

Wings fans all over the intraweb going full freakout. Jeez.

It's not like the Wings just went a couple of weeks without their goaltender, who is arguably more important to the Wings at this point.

Better to get it done now so he gets some rest and is 100% going into the playoffs.

lol. bonus Dr Recchi moment

No offense to Howard, but Datsyuk is way more important to this team.

I disagree. The goaltender is ALWAYS the most important player on the team.
