I was only able to watch the 3rd period, but Mule, Howie and Z from what I saw including the highlights. Big win.

First time in a while that I have a hard time deciding on only 3 Wings.

Zetterberg is a given
Howard was great as well

It's between Abby and Franzen, but I'll pick Franzen. He's on a mission right now.

Oh darn I forgot to add you as an option to the poll, we all know it was your hat eating bet that put them over the top. :naughty:

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge win. Gonna be an exiting last 3 games. I'm surprised I was the first to vote Brunner as a star. He was on his game tonight, was very impressed with his skating. I picked Howard, Z, Brunner.

Can't believe Mule didn't get a star from the building today.

He earned one.

It was a tough choice for forwards tonight. Hank was productive, and Mule, Abby, Filppula, and Brunner had some of their best games in a while. Lots of guys stepped it up tonight.

If Filppula plays like tonight, I like the composition of the 3 lines. It's not perfect, but it makes it difficult to know who to defend outside of smother Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

Even though Howard got the shutout, he didn't blow my mind. I'm going with Hank, Mule, and Abby for this one.

He made some huuuuuuuge stops when the game was still 1-0 and 2-0. Phoenix had some chances in the first half of the game for sure. He came up huge.

Take out Cleary and Tootoo replace with Bert and Tatar for the playoffs.

No pucks went past Howard, but he didn't look flashy enough doing it. So he's not a star of the game.

Take out Cleary and Tootoo replace with Bert and Tatar for the playoffs.

Cleary isn't coming out no point in saying it. but I agree on the replacing a player with Bert depending on if we run the table and pass both Minny and CBJ. Toots will be a good playoff player especially come games 3-7. replace Eaves and put in Bert. also Tatar needs to lead Grand Rapids right now, and his game lately quine frankly doesn't deserve a call up. Jurco, Ferraro, and Mursak have been playing really well down the stretch. he has 3 points (1G, 2A) in April and is -2.

Brunner a star in building tonight, a little surprised, he did have a good game, just surprised they gave him it over other guys.

Maybe they want to build his confidence. when he 1st got here his confidence was flying because he was putting up unreal numbers in the Swiss league. then he got a little tired and Z cooled off thus hurting Brunner. he went on the goalless streak and then all he hears from media is when is he going to score again. now if he can get more confident again it would jump start his finishing ability.

it would be nice to see Brunner Franzen and Fil all get hot all at once. with Howards recent play and the D looking fairly solid. it could be enough to get us to the post season. not including if Nyquist starts finishing on his what like 3 breakaways a game he always seems to have. and Z and Pav's constant threat.

HM: Abdelkader, DD for saving a goal (ala Lidstrom, using his stick instead of the body ;))

Datsyuk seemed off last night. His shot was off and couldn't seem to hold on to the puck.

Filppula finally decides to shoot the puck and look what happens!

Smith and Cleary :shakehead

Those back to back tripping calls (the second one being in the offensive zone) by Cleary was the last straw.

Doan gets the #1 star for easily the best moment of the game - "You play with Zetterberg and Datsyuk and only have 11 points. You should be ashamed of yourself."

From where I was sitting, I couldn't help but watch Doan yell into the Wings bench at Abby...is that a direct quote from McGuire or did it get picked up on mic?
