I loved the way Matthews ended up a spectator on the play.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I’m starting to really dislike the 100 year uniform.  I thought they were great at first but now have started to wear on me.  I liked the old timey brown gloves and goalie pads too but now think they look kind of ****ty.   They had one of the best uniforms in all of sports and I can’t wait for them to go back to them.

FWIW, you are not alone there. 

The problem with a 100yr old uniform is that it looks like a 100 yr old uniform.

the wings are one team that should never mess with their uniforms.  tigers too.

Hear, hear!

I love the gloves with the centennial uniform but I just really like that style of glove.  I honestly thought they were going to wear it for the home opener and then whatever special centennial game is going on (is there one?).  I didn't realize they were going to be wearing it so much during the season, it kinda killed it for me.

Not a Gordie Howe hat trick, but is there a term for a defenseman who stops a shot with his body, stops a shot with his stick, then scores the winning goal in OT?

77 also hit what looked a little like a Jake Roberts DDT during that scrum in the 3rd period

Simon seems like he is incredibly strong when he actually engages and doesn't do his weird hands down/face out in scrums move 😂.  I feel like half the time he forgets he's in the NHL where someone will pop you in the mouth.

sloppy from both teams, but the wings are up 2-0.

what happened to winnipeg?  from the penthouse to the outhouse in one year.

[lordstanley]

Jets cut lead in half, 2-1, 13 minutes to go

[lordstanley]

Wings hang on for the win. So 51 points in 41 games to complete a half season at 102 pt pace

about as good as you cpuld expect from this team in the first half.  under mcclellan, theyve been a playoff team.

prashanth has a nice piece today about the resurgence of copp, and how copp-debrincat-kane has been one of the best lines in hockey, giving the wings two top forward lines.

the weakness on this team remains aljo, asp, jbd, hamonic.  asp absolutely has talent but must be sheltered in the 3rd pair if they have any hope in the playoffs.  hamonic is unplayable.  aljo cant be played with asp and will be a playoff scratch on a hood team. they NEED two defensemen, but if they could only get one it would improve them immensely.  move asp to the third line with chairot and get a faulk to play second line with aljo/jbd and you might be able to bluff your way to some playoff wins.

and i dont want to hear any 84lives **** about justin holl.  he is not the answer.  neither is wallinder (although i'd play wallinder over holl).

What's the deal with Buium? Isn't he supposed to be back active soon in GR?

Tuomisto has gotta be ready 

I hope they can pull off a trade for a defender or two, with how the league is just getting into the playoffs means a team could make some noise

The Larkin line hasn't been doing much 5 on 5 in Dec either according to Daniels last night, maybe because Finnie is spending too much time picking himself up after being dumped.
