Jack Edwards has to be the worst/most annoying play-by-play guy in the league. And that's including Jeff Rimer.

I hate how players cant take a clean hit these days.... And lol @ the homer Boston announcers, biggest homers in the NHL by far.

I guess the moral of the story is, stop giving up four goals every single night.

Mindfly, you are aware nobody takes you seriously. Right?

You obviously haven't played goal before, or even listen to Mickey when he explains it. That puck was going to Ozzie's left, and he was centered to that. The puck changing direction on a 80mph shot is a bad break, not a goaltending flub.

Five bucks says Datsyuk practices deking and shooting with just his left hand and within the first week of his return he makes a defensman and/or a goalie look absolutely stupid with only one hand.

Lamoriello's to blame, but no one else - least of all the hockey media - will admit it. It's always "In Lou We Trust", but the man's been a disaster since the salary cap came into effect. Lou didn't make the right signings and threw all his money in the wrong direction (Rolston, Kovalchuk, etc...even Brodeur's making too much right now) and put together a roster that just doesn't work. And I don't buy it that it was the owner that wanted Kovalchuk signed - I think it was Lou's pride at stake, because that man's just as much of a narcissist as Brian Burke. Unless the Devils magically figure out how to score at least 4 goals a night (because Brodeur's GAA is just about at 3 right now and it's only that low because of a few shutouts), they're going to continue to tank, Lemaire will be fired and Lou will be behind the bench by the All Star break.

It's Lou that should be fired. He is the one that has hurt this team the most with his piss poor cap management. Oops got names confused.

it's because they're a team and support one-another. god bless us, everyone.

I didn't know mules could have kids. (hint: male mules are infertile)

Those were my heavy drug years. Didn't get clean until '87. Had I known that somewhere in NS Sid the Kid was being born, I might not have sobered up. In all honesty, that was before I had internet and cable tv. Following the team was next to impossible. I just knew from some of dad's friends who still had family in Detroit that things weren't going well, but that we had some new kid that was going to save the day. Being a Lions fan, I didn't believe it. For all of you who sat through the games, cheered on the team, and believed that someday they would rise again, I salute you. You are the backbone of the team.

Yeah I wasn't even a zygote yet.

Bad excuse. Teams have owned us several times this year when they were playing back to back. Not to mention, we'll have lots of back to back games coming up. I hope Babcock isn't preaching the same stuff you are to the team, otherwise there's already plenty of built in excuses. The team lost because their point coverage stunk and they gave up too many odd man rushes on the PP instead of having chances of their own.

OF COURSE SOMEONE WAS OPEN SOMEONE IS ALWAYS OPEN THIS LOSS IS FILPPULA'S FAULT FOR NOT MAKING A MIRACULOUS PASS FOR A BREAKAWAY THAT WOULD WIN THE GAME ANYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE EGGS ARE TOO YELLOW AND POTATOES BACON

Because it really mattered? Was anyone open for a pass or would you rather Flip just wiz the puck out of the zone recklessly so you can rail on him for that? Just complaining to complain.

Time to open another beer with my Thinkgeek bottle opener. Dammit Cleary!

Actually, I made a rather valid point. Thanks for your insightful response to it.

When was the last time the Wings had a bag skate? Sometimes I think Babcock has gotten too soft and comfortable. This team is lazy and stupid right now. Things like face-offs, lack of turnovers, team defense used to be the Wings bread and butter. Something needs to change soon.

Wait, did I read that right? Franzen is making Abdelkader call him..."daddy" ? uhh... wow.

Two months too late.

How is Hudler even allowed to open his mouth at this point in the year? He should consider it a Festivus Miracle that he's still employed.

All this talk about call-ups, have people forgotten we've got an extra player already called up? We rotate Eaves-Draper-Miller. Now they can all play. If someone does get called up they'll hardly ever play, if at all.

I say they play .500 hockey. I have no basis for this, but it was the first thing that popped into my head.

Assuming you sleep for 8 hours a day, it works out to be: 62.5 push ups/hour 62.5 sit ups/hour So every 20 minutes, throughout the whole day, you do 20 push ups and 20 sit ups? IF you do in fact do this (which I HIGHLY doubt), wow, talk about over working your abs/chest. You also claimed to do 975 push ups, and 975 sit ups during ONE hockey game. A game is roughly 2 - 2.5 hours? I'm not even gonna bother with the calculations for this one. Pls go.

Stupid thread, trading for a 7mil player, it's not 2001/2002...
