Howard's wife has had a baby. Last year, Ozzie's wife had a baby. The last time Conks was here, his wife had a baby. Solid proof that even if you f*** around, Detroit will bring out the best in you.

This thread is almost as good as the "Trade Zetterberg for Trevor Gillies" thread that I was planning later this season.

If his 17th post is anything like his 16th then someone should do us a favour and make sure he doesn't get an 18th.

Congratulations, this is the best "OMGZ PANIC" thread I've seen yet. Kinda like a mindfly thought mixed with some sirdrake thoughts. "What if Howard never had a baby and was able to lead the Wings to the Stanley Cup because Chris Chelios came out of retirement and built his own goalie crease out of broken sticks making it near impossible for the opposing team to get quality scoring chances" Ya I kinda got caught up in the magic that was sirdrakes posts, but this one sorta reminded me of it only in a more negative tone

The OP should feel gratified at having made one of the dumbest posts ever on this forum. WOW.

I remember when I had 16 posts

LoL, panic mode after a losing two games of seven. Never in my life have I heard a sports analyst, or any sports reporter type, say being a new father effects performance. Howard is what....27? His body should be able to handle some nights of loss of sleep easily. Now if we are talking about Lidstrom, maybe OP's point would make more sense.

I love how in spite of how horrible and awful we are, we've all retained our senses of humor. To help us through the dark times, you see.

Steve Yzerman had 137 points in his 92-93 season and it dropped down to 82 points in 93-94, it has to be because he had that daughter of his! Nevermind him playing 30 games less and switching to a more defensive style. Damn those babies!

I'm not in the top 3. My team screams for a trade and a youth injection. Fans are getting restless.

I too find these posts ridiculous! Guys, we are 7 games into the season! To top that, we are 5-2, which is a pretty fair start to the season. Keep in mind, we have had 2 LONG layoffs, which makes it difficult for some players to get into a rhythm of things, so now that the schedule is picking up, and the top line is being called out by Babs to do better. I am excited for when the top line gets going (Hopefully Dats and Z with Homer cuz Cleary stinks on that line)and everyone on here will be talking about how great zetterberg is. Chill out guys and watch, because Pavs and Z never fail us in the grand scheme of things, and turning against them 7 games into the season is not what Red Wings fans should be about.

Nailed it. Welcome.

To think, just a few days ago someone was saying that you couldn't find intellectually stimulating conversation here. How deceived they were.

Evidently someone took a dump on their sarcasm detector.

I'd also like a burger with a side of extra large PANIC.

impotent haha

We need to find a goalie who absolutely refuses to procreate. Make that a contractual clause maybe.

True say Electrophile, true say

Nobody is saying "Playing without effort is okay." People are simply saying "Whoa, don't freak out over the roster yet. It's been two games over an 82 game season. Let's see how they do for a bit before hitting the panic button." It's sad that people can't understand the difference.

I like it a lot!

You're welcome. -Non anonymous minuser

It's only two games--preceded by five games of very good hockey--and yours is a knee-jerk reaction of the worst sort. Get a grip. On a minor note--and for your own future reference--it seems that you have a very flawed understanding of roster limits. The Wings are at the maximum roster size right now. They cannot simply make players healthy scratches and call up others to replace them. They may only exceed the roster limit via call-ups if the call-ups are replacing injured players. Please note that I find the entirety of your post ludicrous and only wrote this clarification for your own benefit.

He'll most certainly have to impress Mr. Babs in his next game, which if your correct and I think you are will be Saturday in Minnesota. He's going to need lady lucks attention in the next couple if he doesnt want the latter to happen...I hope he impresses and earns a spot though, I like him...

I love Varlamov's bucket and I think Price's breast cancer awareness helmet is super well done as well as a great idea.

Just wondering if any of you have NHL Gamecenter live for PS3? I just got it and cant the schedule past june 2011, no pre-season games?
