Sabres booed off the ice. A lot of talk this summer about which if any of Ottawa-Buffalo-Detroit would step forward. At the moment, the Wings are 7 pts up on Buffalo with 2 games in hand, and 11 points up on Ottawa having played 4 more games. 

Yeah, he yells. Hockey announcers usually get excited by scoring chances but he has a yell like way about him. 

4-0...Stevie may have built a playoff team!

Obnoxious. I step away for a bit, flip it back and he's yelling through the replays of the Buffalo goal. By the tone and loudness of his voice I was worried for a second that the Sabres had made a furious comeback. Then the score flashes as 4-1 Wings, lol. 

[motownblues]

Third periods are getting to be problematic

[Sports_Freak]

The announcer says Larkin "is emerging as a leader"...uhhh...yeah. for several years now. 

[lordstanley]

4-3 with plenty of time left.  I want 2 clean regulation points tonight, Sabres could be competing with the Wings by the end of the season.

[Sports_Freak]

Sometimes that clock goes sooo slowwww.

[holygoat]

This is like watching the Lions recently.

[lordstanley]

Remember earlier in the year the Wings were falling behind but then coming from behind. Instead, despite a fine record of late, they've blown 3rd period leads recently to Toronto, NYR and Montreal. 

[lordstanley]

Terrible time for high sticking penalty! Wings will be shorthanded the rest of regulation.

[lordstanley]

1:07 to go. Hate to think how much this announcer will yell if the Sabres score here. 

[lordstanley]

Larkin ENG on the 6 on 4!

[MIguy]

Wings just trying to make it exciting for the fans.  So nice of them to think of us.

Aaron Glenn called the Wings' dressing room during the 2nd intermission and gave the defensemen some pointers. 

[Sports_Freak]

I hope Larkin is OK. Bad backs can be so utterly painful...

[buddha]

phew.  too close for comfort.

who goes out? None of the Dmen appear to be very much  in the doghouse currently. Maata might be sitting at the bottom of the stack right now I guess..

Wings have scored 2nd most goals in the NHL, with 90. Vancouver tops with 96.  Leafs 15th with 76. Oilers 19th with 74. Remarkable given high-paid star power of Edmonton and Toronto.

veleno seems to have displaced rasmussen as the "guy who goes into the corners" on the top line.

i did not have that on the ol bingo card.

Team is pretty good.    I hope Kane can make them better, although I feel he's goin to be more like Mike Modano's year in Detroit.      If Kane can even be 75% it means a lot for this team.     Robby Fabbri is playing like a star these days.

Fabbri just seems so fragile though. 

Btw, Jakob Vrana has 2 goals and 4 assists for 6 points in 16 games for St. Louis.

Tyler Bertuzzi has 5 goals and 4 assists for 9 points in 22 games for Toronto. 

Dominik Kubalik has 4 goals and 1 assts for 5 points in 20 games for Ottawa. 

Filip Hronek has 2 goals and 23 assists for 25 points in 26 games for Vancouver. 

Pius Suter has 4 goals and 0 assists for 4 points in 15 games for Vancouver. 

Adam Erne has 0 goals and 1 assist for 1 point in 12 games for Edmonton. 

Alex Nedeljkovic has a 2.18 GAA and .937 Save % in 5 games for Pittsburgh

Joe has looked pretty damn solid this season with more responsibility.  He gives Lalonde good flexibility for sure, if he keeps it up it'll be interesting to see what the Wings do with his next RFA deal.
