Dunno if this has been mentioned but Smith and Mccollum are both training with Gary Roberts this week in the biosteel sports camp Nice clip in there of Smith going one on one vs Cammy

I harmlessly teased him at first, then gave input, to which he teased me back (then edited his response). I thought he was whining so I teased him. If you want to call it attacking so be it. I think there's way too much whining on this forum so I was grinding his gears a bit.

Coach Crosby

shoulda been! along with the thomas holmstrom inspired Mighty Morphin Mush Mouth Ranger

all hockey players like 2 party instead of other sports who roll with gangs, beat there wives up, have dog fights, and shoot themselves in the dick. sure there are some instances where hockey players do dumb s*** but 2 a lesser extent, but way less. if hockey players get in trouble its usually just for partying 2 hard, and we've all been there. idk how i got so off topic there sorry.

Even worse, he could look like Lebda out there if he gets called up too soon. He still puts far too much effort into being involved offensively than defensively.

If it's "all-things-LGW", then an interview or questionnaire with a different member each month. Something like a "getting to know you" feature.

The Mouthguardian? Wasn't that one of the really bad team inspired super-heroes the NHL had Stan Lee create last year?

I thought Patrick Kane's mouthguard was Eddie Olczyk's di-- ahh, nevermind. The funny part is that if Kane had gone after Franzen, Mule likely would've turtled. Good thing Patty only goes after old cab drivers.

Not at all... we're talking about the fight for the 14th spot and that will essentially become a fight between Conner/Brunnstrom(to some extent) and Emmerton... Mursak flat out earned his roster spot with his time up last season and if anything, I think that becomes more of a separate 2 horse race between Miller and Mursak for the 12th spot and playing everyday... I have a strong feeling that Mursak is going to end up playing himself onto the everyday roster by mid-season (if not sooner)

I've seen it but I refuse to buy or drink it becasue it's from California and with the simple fact that the Wings hold their Training Camp in Traverse City, Michigan you would've thought they would have worked something out with one of the local wineries here in Michigan. There are about 50 or so Wineries around Michigan so it's not like they couldn't find a Winery right here and support our States Economy. It's probably the one Red Wings item I won't buy.

Wildcard *******! Commodore-Holmstrom-Howard Filppula-Ericsson-Helm Stuart-Miller-Kronwall White-Conklin-Kindl Lidstrom Datsyuk Eaves-Emmerton Bertuzzi-Mursak Cleary-Abdelkader Franzen Hudler Zetterberg

I wonder what you would think if somebody had said something like that about Stevie Y when he was playing.

So since you're imitating me is it my turn to imitate you and go on some ignorant, whiney rant?

Nope, that's not true at all. Despite the fact there are a lot of crap posts in this place there are some intelligent posters. But your whiney post about 'over ripe' players does not qualify. Just because Smith is 'NHL ready' does not mean that he is ready to be on this Wings team for any number of reasons. Maybe Holland doesn't think it would be smart to have both Kindl and Smith on the roster this season as Kindl is still a little green and obviously out of minor league options. Or maybe, since Smith still has minor league options, they believe Smith is better served playing a ton in GR, being called up to get looks through the season, than playing 40-50 NHL games while getting 8-10 mins a night. Or maybe they feel that adding a defenseman like Mike Commodore, who brings a different style of play to the roster that some would say was lacking, makes the Wings better right now.

You could say that to almost any post on LGW. Thanks for the input, bud.

boo-hoo

I hope Cindy is able to come back.... then take another vicious blow to the head....only to end up sidelined for the rest of his career.

No. It's not. That third line would be awful. Who controls the puck? Not a scoring threat. i think 1...gotta have pav and val together...2...helm is too valuable to be stuck on some fourth line.

I think you should definately add conner to the equation, but take emmerton out of the equation and replace him with jan.

boo hoo. but in all actuality this post of urs is good input to the forums. you shoulda just put this in your original post.

this over ripe thing is a little overrated imo. all it does is make our team older, there is no reason that a player(smith) ken holland has already said is an NHL ready d-man should spen another year in GR just getting older. Hes already older than a lot when they break into the AHL as he came from college.
