WingsLive Chat

Tonight during the game, some of the injured Wings took to a computer and answered questions for the fans who were following along on WingsLive. This is that chat. (And can I also say, I won my 3rd Red Wing contest this season. This time it was a tote bag that was the giveaway at the game. That makes me 3/4 in their contests.)
