Bob Duff: Datsyuk back as Wings ready to face Flyers After missing four games with a groin injury, Pavel Datsyuk returns and will center a line between Stephen Weiss and Darren Helm.

Pav needs to do something. Find a new workout regiment. somethings going on. hes only played 11 of 21 games. wings cant afford for him to be a part time player.

Other things:

Kindl sucks

Dont know if I like Babcock messing with the 4th line.

Not really worried about the forwards. If things get really bad with injuries theres guys in GR ready (Mantha, Pulkinen).

They need to figure out the defense.

The problem is if there aren't any injuries there's not much room for the young guys because Holland signed everybody through 2030

He's old?

Pulkinen is ready for the NHL right now. Just like last year he's averaging a point a game. He's not big (5'10", 185) but this guy can put up some serious points and he's earned a shot in Detroit. I'd like to see Holland give him an opportunity before he's freakin' 25 and leaves in frustration via free agency.

He is a RH shot. We have no use for him

Good to see Pav wasting no time putting points back up. Weiss and Kindl with a couple pts too

Goals from Pavel (after injury), Weiss(again!), Jurco(staying hot) and Z (breaking streak). also Kindl got some points! couldnt really have asked for much better. Still! Hopefully when Smith is back they find a way to keep Oulette up even though it seems unlikely.

Would you rather they send Jurco down and keep up Oulette?

or

Send Oulette down to keep Jurco on the 4th line?

they seem to agree although if there are no takers then they have no choice. I would love to see them trade him for almost anything. 3rd? maybe thats pushing it
