MacLeod has his notes from today's practice up. Important things related to the game against Tampa:

• Wings' #1 goalie Chris Osgood will get the start yet again
• Draper is out, expected to miss 10-14 days with a sprained knee, Maltby could be out, Ellis could still be out, and Kopecky will be back in the lineup

Yeah, you read that first note right. I'm changing my position. There is no controversy, Osgood is the #1 and that's that.

Fact #1 Osgood has won a cup

Fact#2 Hasek has also won a cup

Fact#3 Hasek's cup was "paid" for

D: I'm happy to see Osgood in goal.

But, as he's my favorite goalie, I will look forward to the(what seems to be) few games Hasek'll start in. ;_;

More injuries for the Tampa game. Mark Hartigan has been called from from Grand Rapids to cover for Kirk Maltby, who's out with a shoulder injury.

MacLeod has the lines from the morning skate. Hartigan was centering Kopecky (previously mentioned as returning to the lineup and Downey.

This is Maltby's first missed game since before the lockout.

No word on who was placed on the IR to make room for Hartigan's call-up. My guess would be Draper since his injury timeline is more defined than those of Maltby or Ellis.

I'll be missing the game live again, my soccer team has a double-header scheduled tonight but I'll be checking in after watching my DVRd copy of the game. I liked it better when games were on Friday nights.

Quiet in here tonight.

The Wings played a really strong game. Tampa looked tired and never really were in it.

Kopecky's goal was beautiful and Darche's was total bullsh*t with what Holmstrom's lost this year.

Did Valtteri not get the puck in the empty net before the buzzers went? My mom and I both thought it was in.

But oh well

[YzerFan19]

Nope, he shot it about a second too late. I don't think he minds.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

I don't think he does either, but still, a goal's a goal? XD

Who knows. I wouldn't.
