Hoping for a much better effort tonight.

 

[Canuck eh?]

Hoping for a much better effort tonight.

I'm hoping Jimmy cuts down on the amount of goals scored from behind the goal.

Hoping for a much better effort tonight.

I am just hoping the Jackets come out of the game without a major injury.

Notes from downtown:

Johansen should be on the ice tonight. Jack Skille and Matt Calvert skated this morning, but not expected to play. Bobrovsky gets the start.

On the other side of the arena, Pavel Datsyuk is out tending to a groin issue.

datsyuk out, cleary in. FML

They got his back for sure

T be honest Dats hasn't looked sharp the last few, but half a Dats is better than Cleary, who might show up against a troubled team like CBJ

Babcock has done good so far with cleary but i don't trust him to manage him properly the more he is in the lineup

 

[sherbert1421]

Always nice to get the first goal

 

[phoenixrising]

Ahhh, Put some sauce on that shot.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Big for the Wings getting that first one

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Tatar tangle sauce!

Babs likes to move the lines around but I would like to see the youngsters play together for awhile and get used to each other, so not as many wild passes.

 

[Canuck eh?]

That's a bit fishy Shipper.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Just noticed Abs had 1, maybe 2 skates in the crease...earlier in the year we had a goal called off because we had a guy in the crease.

Someone please explain?

Yup. I just don't want to see cleary be put into the top 6 again.

He explained to the ref that it was okay because he was Brett Hull.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Howard just saved someone's Canadian bacon.

He doesn't have the Holmstrom big behind
