Red Wings waste no time in breaking out the can of whoop-azz. Shanahan gets Datsyuk's back.

WTG Wings! And that was without Osgood & Stevie Y! It's great knowing hockey is back.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who cares about those Wings. I wore my Stevie Y jersey today, too. Didn't know Captain Courageous wasn't in the lineup until I checked the box score. When that guy hangs it up, it will be a bittersweet day in the D indeed. Better not to think about it.

The guy is a class act. Not many come along like that. I think he's done after this year though. Hopefully he sticks around in some capacity (but not like poor Trammell).

Yeah, I've always liked hockey. I even went to a couple games at the old red barn. Man...that place...it was like you were right on top of those guys and it was LOUD!!! Last game I saw there (guessing 1978) they beat the Atlanta Flames 4-1 in a playoff game. A guy named Dale McCourt scored a hat trick.

Three (3) Canadian teams in the top 6 and 4 in the top 9. That would definitely be good to see.

As much as I am a huge Wings fan, I'm trying not to get too exctied here. From what I've read the Blues are going to be a shocker if they make the playoffs.

GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm wondering how many of the Canadien teams would have survived if they would have made the salary cap changes 20 years ago.

Good to see the Wings jump out of the gate stomping a mud hole in the Blues and walking it dry. LOL!!!

I really missed hockey. It was strange without it. The winter just did not seem right without watching a Pistons game one night and the next watching a Wings game.

The Wings are 3-0. They beat a good Calgary team yesterday. It's too early to judge, but so far the coaching change appears to be a good one. The reception for McCarty's return was great.

Go Wings!
