Motor City Mullets

Yeah - having played the game (adult beer leagues) - even I know that accentuated kicking motion isn't 'normal'...Looked to me it was on purpose...May not had wanted to kill the guy...ooop!

Feels good man

Same...Fans/critics love to bash Torts, but the man gets the job done and holds players accountable. Uncle Fester & Co have been getting positive results...I'm hoping December will continue to be a thing of the past and the Wings keep winning.

Yeah - as popular as he was in the locker room - Bert wasn't so popular with Yzerman. Unless there's an impressive offer - I don't see the Wings doing anything.

Ever been to NJ? Maybe it's on purpose...

If the Wings lose to either/both Calgary and Seattle... Might have to start entertaining offers.

Yyyyup... This roadtrip is reminding me of December...Or this time last year when it all fell apart

Agreed. Our last trip out west was pretty damn good - Wings have gotta finish strong here, or we'll likely be on the outside looking in...If there's any consolation regarding the game against the Edmonton 1st Overall'ers - the performance was solid in periods 1 and 2 - just crapped out in the 3rd. I'm certain the 'good guys/Misfit Toys' will win tonight! LGRW!!!

Gotta put this game behind ya...Time to focus on Vancouver.

I hope Lyon is in net tonight...Not sure if Husso is quite ready for action...

Was listening to NHL Network on Sirius XM this morning - long time Maple Leaf radio/tv play by play guy Joe Bowen echoed the sentiment with the majority of Leaf Nation...While the crosscheck/retaliation by Rielly was 'wrong' - the message Rielly had sent was acceptable. Now I admit to have had a soft spot for the Leafs (Clark and then later Gilmour era Leafs) and I respect what Bowen has done throughout his broadcast career, but ever since the 'pretty boy trio' arrived Tronna can f**k off.

At this point I'd just assume stand pat with regards to the TDL - unless of course a rival GM makes Yzerman an exceptional offer...This current squad has that 'misfit toy' camaraderie.

it's a shame Toronto/Ottawa don't face each other until next season...Would've loved to see them tear each other apart (read: Sens beating up Leafs) just before the playoffs this spring.

I was under the impression that Perron was a popular vet in the locker room?

Red Wings forecheck

Joke's is on that poor kid...It's Bert's pubes.

He was suspended for gambling...Recently returned.

Earning 1 pt last night was key and so will be every game leading up to the March 8th trade deadline...Capt Obvious statement here - any extended run of poor play, or losses might see Yzerman repeat last season where he becomes a seller...I sure as hell hope that doesn't happen - wanna see 'April In The D' becoming a thing again.

While I do agree that Larkin is a legit 1C (just as Tavares is seen as a 1C), but Dats was clearly on a different level and was capable of elevating his linemates play - same was said about Yzerman and Fedorov...Larkin is good, but not that good.

Too bad Chiarot won't be in the lineup.

The Sens seem to be a team that has a good roster, young studs, but poor results and front office upheaval...Detroit is the team of misfit toys and rejects that's bonding and finding ways to win.

Sticking with the Star Wars theme...Last time these 2 teams faced each other Larkin got knocked out and Perron retaliated with a 2-hander...

If it works - it works...There are some nights I wonder how this team pulled off a win, but a sloppy win is still a win in my book. Haven't been looking forward to Red Wing games like I have this season in a long time...Feels good man.
