Puck drops at 7:30ET. At stake is the home streak (going for 24) and sitting alone at the top of the NHL/Western Conference. Two points for the Canucks tonight and they tie us up. Datsyuk is still out tonight, so we need production from elsewhere.
I have some Fat Tire on deck, and that seems to coincide with good performances by the Wings.
Fat Tire = Not that good.
Gotta disagree there.
For a session beer, I like it better than anything else available year round. It's not a Double Bastard, Hopslam or DFH 90, but if you're going to buy a twelve pack, I like it as well as anything.
Also, NHL network is still saying they're showing NHL On The Fly...WTF?

Vancouver killed off the PK, and they're outplaying the Wings currently. We need to be able to keep possession in their zone, and have them GTFO of ours.

They have every game, from what I hear on the open threads. I haven't used it, but it gets linked to a lot here.

Can't start a new thread but
Can't start a new thread but theres heavy talk about Jack Johnson being traded to Columbus of all places. TSN's Bob McKenzie saying deal is potentially JJ and a 1st rounder for Jeff Carter. Last place id want Jack to go but maybe its the opportunity he needs as a #1 Dman.

Is it just me or is Franzen
Is it just me or is Franzen looking slow and sluggish out there tonight? He didn't leave the zone in time on the 2nd PP and then a weak bump from a Canuck knocks him off the puck.

Wings outshot 17-5, and went 0-3 on the PP. Unfortunately for the Canucks, this is hockey and 1-0 is all that matters so far. Still, though, let's hope for some adjustments.

As much as I want to pass the wings for the Presidents Trophy, I would much rather see it not go to Vancouver. Go Wings.

Quincy looks pretty good in
Quincey looks pretty good in his first game with the Wings. The best part is that he will only get better with time and as his comfort level increases.

This power play effort
Reaffirms my belief that the Wings can't stand pat at the deadline. Granted, Datyuk is out, but a right handed point shot would be nice. Hate to say this, but I kinda miss Mikael Samuelsson.
