The Wings victory tonight over the Blues locked-in Mike Babcock as the coach of the Western Conference in the NHL All-Star Game in Atlanta.
One other note from the game, Lidstrom played roughly 14:50 tonight, which has to be one of the lowest TOI stats for him. No injury, just rested as the Wings cruised to a victory and should help him when he takes the ice in Colorado Thursday night.

Congratulations to Babcock. He has earned it. It is about time he gets some recognition for the great work he does.

According to stats at NHL.com, Nick was on for 21:07. Still, about 1/3 less than he usually logs. Congrats to Babs. Maybe with all that limelight, he will continue to impress us with his world famous Yoda-syntax!! Maybe we’ll get a quote or two for the record-book.

Thanks for the real stats folks. Before the game, Murphy sounded like he hit the eggnog, now I know he did.

Hey Paul, Lidstrom actually had over 21 minutes of IT tonight. I think Larry Murphy was just mixed up and looked at it through 2 periods.
