Haven't been following the lines all that closely so if I missed it, sorry.  Why hasn't Babcock tried shuffling Gus and Franzen around a bit and maybe splitting up Hank and Dats tonight to get the other two going a bit? Playing with Datsyuk might be what Nyquist needs to get going.  No dispresect to Helm, but he's not gonna set up too many goals.

im amazed by how many wings passes are just at players and not to players. very few passes to the tape of players, especially in the d zone. far too often passes arent even on the ice

Look completely out of gas. Smells like trouble. I'm pausing & going to sleep. I'm usually no luck for teams I'm rooting for anyway, so this best way I can help

[regarding Detroit's fans] "we can't interrupt the crowd sounds for you. But just believe that it's a mechanical state, it's an agricultural stated, and they're leaning towards cows and bulls right now." Aka crowd was yelling "bullshit". Good stuff
