|

Detroit Red Wings |
|
Miettinen - Koivu - Brunette Burns - Schultz Harding |
Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Hossa Lebda - Lidstrom Osgood |
NOTES:
- The Wild dropped into last place in the Northwest after losing 10 of 14 games (4-9-1) in December.
- Pavel Datsyuk, who leads the Red Wings with 26 assists and 42 points, has eight goals and nine assists during a season-high nine-game point streak.
- Detroit is 8-0-2 in 10 meetings with Minnesota since a 4-2 home loss on Jan. 3, 2006.
- The Red Wings are 6-0-1 at Xcel Energy Center since the teams played to a 1-1 tie on Nov. 15, 2003.
- Minnesota's defense is tied with East-leading Boston, allowing a league-low 84 goals.
- Marian Gaborik was officially placed on the IR to make room for John Scott.
- Marek Zidlicky, who has been ill the past few days, was back on the ice this morning.
Questions to Answer
- Will the return of the C to Mikko Koivu's sweater matter at all?
- Does Marian Gaborik's injury situation being identified help the team move on and get past it?
- Can they build on a nice showing against San Jose and get the new month started on the right foot?
- Do Lidstrom and Chelios play a bigger role in today's game than they did in the Winter Classic?
- With Gaborik going out, is there any way they can make a move?

Does Anybody even get KSTC in HD? HAHA i dont lol
anyway…This will be the True Test to see how this team can perform without Gaborik….San Jose the other night was a big win…Win again tonight!.
Concerning the "Can We Get any Value for Gaborik"
I Think Doug Risebrough needs to approach him and tell him hey..your Free Agent Value is Extremely Low…what would be best for you is to sign a 1 or 2 year deal with us so you can rebuild your value in the Free Agent Market.
you think Gaborik might be forced to though
I mean….hes going to get next to nothing in the free agent market after this surgery…he might as well try to build it back up so he can atleast get somewhere near the deal he wanted.
If he's smart
He signs with someone for one year to prove himself. THis is a waste of a season. However, if he’s really smart, he fires his agent. Ron Salcer has cost Marian Gaborik a minimum of 60 million dollars. Had Gaborik signed in the offseason, he wouldn’t need to worry about the surgery and proving himself.
Wild back to giving up the first goal of the game and not scoring in the first period. I’m going to guess that the 12/31 game was a fluke
Names of Potential Free Agent Signings this coming off season with Gaborik being gone and us having money
After we Lock up Backstrom and either Bergeron or Foster.
Tell me if you like or dislike
Henrik Sedin
Daniel Sedin
Petr Sykora
Miroslav Satan
Steven Reinprecht
Alex Tanguay
Saku Koivu
Erik Cole
Michael Cammalleri
Maxime Afhinigenov
PJ Axelsson
Todd Marchant
Rob Neidermyer.
Yikes..thats everybody from our Free Agent class pretty much last year
but i agree on the Sedins.. Maybe Reunite the Koivu Brothers..Possibly Erik Cole..Satan and Afhinigenov.
Yeah, it is
Frankly, I’m not sold on Nolan or Zidlicky either. I’d rather have Ryan Jones and Patrick O’Sullivan than Bergeron, Zidlicky, Brunette, Miettinen and Nolan.
Yeah they Made alot of Stupid Trade Mistakes...
I’m not so Ticked about the Ryan Jones Trade because i think Zidlicky can contribute…Bruno is just Bruno…Miettinen..i’ll give him some time…Dont Like Bergeron Much and Owen Nolan is Owen Nolan..hes like almost 40..hes like a Gary Roberts Type guy..crafty Veteran….Trading Patrick O’Sullivan for Pavol Demitra was Inexcusable.
Barren
The cupboard is bare. There is nothing in Houston that excites personnel directors. The Wild have nobody in the WJC. There is no young talent. Even the young talent that is with the big team is mediocre or at least needs time and latitude to get better. Sheppard, Gillies, Pouliot and Clutterbuck aren’t the offensive talents that this team needs to have in order to be successful.
They need offensive talent. They’re almost better off tanking.
Agreed...
i still Think Gillies has a bright future….Pouliot cant Learn anything…and Clutterbuck is only a Grinder…we have too many of thoughs…Maybe Tyler Cuma can develop into something nice…i do for one..Like Krys Kolanos

The guy on the other team that Minnesota should look into, if they’re looking for a guy to fit Lemaire’s mold, is Hudler.
Thats if Lemaire is even Coaching Next year
Theres Been Speculation of Letting Him go in the off-season for the past two years.
Stuck with crappy NBA?

Now we have a 5 on 3 power play
Detroit Guy just shoots in out of play..not touched by a wild player..Nice Delay of Game

Thats horrible...Jacques Lemaire should slash that ref with a stick as hes skating by.

Hmm
Wild got off to a good OT start, then kinda fell apart. They’re biding time to shootout I think.
Looks like the wild are going for the shootout...
who do we have other than Mikko Koivu thats good in the shootout…we lost Gaborik to Injury and Rolston’s Slapper to Free Agency
It's not the refs
It’s Toronto. The refs on the ice, staring at the play from 5 feet away, made the right call
