    And Smith was leading all defensemen in points last time I checked Nice to see some promising prospects in the system again - now we just need to ensure they never drive a car

    Red Wings Archived Games Index

    The following are archives for Wings games that will open in a new flash player window. These are not hosted by me, but the NHL and streamed on demand by their servers. I figure I'd share these while it's still possible, so sometime in the future be it in weeks, months or seasons they will cease to work....so watch them while you can. I will be updating this post as the season goes on; new games tend to be up anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours after they've been played before they become archives. I will also be adding posts in this thread of past playoffs and seasons, so eventually nearly every Wings game through the 07/08 season will be posted. Again I don't know how long this will last. Due to this being a long list I'm generating in excel there could be some errors, or the rare chance there is no archive of the game. Just ask me to look at a certain game should you find one not working and I'll look into it. I'm not sure of the best way to lay this out, so I'm just doing a simple list. If you have any suggestions, please share. Red Wings Archives of the 2010 Playoffs No longer updating this list, moved to my site....see my profile. Red Wings Archives of the 09/10 Season No longer updating this list, moved to my site....see my profile.

    Interesting way to go with the college-route. Gonna be fun to follow his development.

    I can really see him in a wings jersey in some years... He, Tatar and also Ferraro given the potential and bloodline..really good offensive prospects

    Looks like another "late round gem". I doubt he will ever be as good as Datsyuk or Zetterberg, but the best college hockey player at the moment shouldn't do to bad in the future.

    Here's how I'd pair them. Bertuzzi-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Zetterberg-Cleary Miller-Filppula-Williams Draper-Helm-Eaves Top two are more of a 1A/1B dealie getting roughly equal time. If Bertuzzi goes cold, pair up Filppula with Datsyuk-Holmstrom as Datsyuk and Filppula have played on the same line off/on throughout the years with some success. As good as the Datsyuk line is now, Franzen-Zetterberg-Cleary was a killer line when it was used in the playoffs off/on last year, I would love to see Babcock go to that.

    Does no one else remember how good he was earlier in the season, before getting injured? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKBhiAqkcgw The one thing you could complain about back then was that he was shooting and shooting and shooting and very rarely scoring. So because of that people forget that he was playing great, maybe the best I've seen him since 07-08. But after his injury he hasn't been quite the same. I very rarely want to use the "he's not 100%" excuse, but watching him play right now leads me to believe that it might be true. He doesn't look like he's having fun out there. I think the people complaining about his lack of heart or whatever are dead wrong..

    no, its just that when you have Franzen or Datsyuk on your line, it's a little easier to create situations to score... it defiantly looks like something could be wrong health-wise, but it doesn't help when your the only player on your line who can consistently create scoring chances...Williams is always looking for a shot and Cleary is doing whatever it is Cleary does.

    Be the Blackhawks GM

    If I were the Hawks GM I'd be signing an overrated vet to an obscenely large, ill-timed contract.

    Z doesn't get to play with the best players like Datsyuk does...Homer is better than Cleary and Franzen is way better than Williams... Hank doesn't have a lot to work with... Hopefully, moving Flip there will help him out.

    You are correct, it is Chelsea Dagger, by The Fratellis. However, dont click that link, its just the lame ass Rick Roll'd video. Here is the real one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=935CFnTt-iA

    I agree, I thought Ericsson was very good last game.

    What are you talking about? I thought Ericsson played one of his better games. Do people here even watch games or do they just make assumptions when they post?

    Don't you remember how many starts it took Ozzy to get back into a groove last season? The Wings could afford to then because they lead the league in scoring. What about now? They don't have the goal margins to devote games to warming a guy up.

    They don't have a very high bar set ahead of them, considering the normal contributions of the Wings' 2nd/3rd lines. If it gets Hank going it'll be worth it.

    No suspension for Cooke

    And just like the Richards hit it showed a blatant disregard for the other player's safety and was absolutely vicious. This type of hit is not good for hockey. There's a difference between finishing checks and playing recklessly.

    And most importantly-- Z needs to take at least 6 shots a game. When he's shooting and generating chances he gets better and better. Z needs to take every shot he gets instead of thinking too much with the puck.

    No suspension for Cooke

    And Campbell continues to send mixed messages to the league and fans. Headshots are bad (sometimes). Repeat offenders will be punished (sometimes).

    you are correct, 55fan. I now know that if Howard He Do It?! is going to read a post that I wrote I need to assume that not everyone will be able to understand the point that i'am making.

    Thankfully the season doesn't end today. They may make it, they may not. I'm very hopefully and cautiosuly optimistic but the odds aren't all that great and the Wings are probably going to have to rely on other teams not playing well either. If the Wings can somehow get a ridiculous winning streak of 5+ games or whatever the odds obviously improve, but other things/other teams sturggling will have to fall into place as well to improve the Wings standing.

    It did make quite a difference when Fleury left the net and scored those goals as a forward... wait... :blink:
