Bertuzzi should be benched. He is abysmal right now and does not deserve ANY minutes...let alone top-six minutes.......Fil was actually playing really well, why not put him on the Z line???

What does Tyler Kennedy have to do with this?

Just wanted to say, back in 96-97 the wings went 5-4-1 their first 10 games as well. Granted, they did not lose 5 straight, but the records did end up the same. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996%E2%80%9397_Detroit_Red_Wings_season

It's obvious Babs needs to roll the lines we put together. esteef

Here's what I want to see. Franzen - Zetterberg - Filppula Hudler - Datsyuk - Brunnstrom Cleary - Helm - Eaves Ericsson - Abdelkader - Bertuzzi Lidstrom - White Kronwall - Stuart Kindl - Commodore

Great that he split them up but I would like to see the reasoning to why these combos. They don't make sense, and Cleary for the first time looked decent and he was on line three and to demote Nyquist already...It doesnt matter but Id like to see something like: Flippula-Datsyuk-Hudler Nyquist-Zetterberg-Franzen Abdelkader-Helm-Bertuzzi Cleary-Emmerton-Eaves With these we have Defensive mindedness on every line, we have potential secondary scoring on the bottom two lines and two great top lines IMO.

Duh, maybe you overlooked the fact that the record was stated because the OP pointed to our record as an indicator that trades need to be made. Nice oversight there. Self owned? It's a valid comparison if someone is talking about a team's record this season after 7 games that the comparison be made to a Cup winning season after 7 games which was worse than this. I don't expect you to understand this comparison though, just another nonsensical post full of 75% fluff, 20% personal attack, and 5% relevant argument that still purposely obfuscates something out of some personal ex-girlfriend attitude. ^- this, all fluff, and from my last post.. "I tend to skip over your posts due to them being full of pointless fluff". Followed by: "I find it pretty hilarious how easily you get mad over pixel debates. Lay off the huffing OxiClean there, Billy Mays, and maybe you'll find yourself throwing less pixel temper tantrums." If you want to get into a debate about Ford bailouts (wasn't this like 3 years ago?) again, I'd be more than willing in another topic, but in typical douche27 fashion, you ignored the fact that one of the biggest reasons I didn't want any company to get bailout money is that government shouldn't be in the business of saving failing businesses and should stay out, much like the issue of the Phoenix Coyotes. I notice you conveniently ignored that s***, so take your "sit down and shut up" and sit down and spin on it, OxiClean boy.

Ah, so Crymson is on the "sarcastic ******* martyr" mode. Surprise, surprise.

Seriously? These lines are going in the wrong direction.

Much rather see: Filppula - Zetterberg - Franzen Bertuzzi - Helm - Abdelkader

Form a Shanahan-Fedorov-Yzerman line, laugh maniacally.

Upon further review, I also blame the Lions and Tigers for having winning seasons and using up all of the "win" in the metro area.

I cant stand to watch Todd Bertuzzi play one more shift. What a complete waste of cap money. Cant score, terrible passes, constant give aways, refuses to throw anything that even remotely resembles a hit, and consistently taking stupid penalties, most of them in the offensive zone to make up for his disgusting play . Bringing him back has to be one of the worst moves the Wings have made since trading Adam Oates for Bernie Federko. Judas Priest, Id take Robert Lang over this piece of garbage, at least Langer could score an occasional goal.

After this historic meltdown, the Red Wings are the first team in sports history to be eliminated from the playoffs after being just 12% of the way through the season. Who is to blame for this embarrassing monstrosity? I personally would like to take a cheese grater to my Red Wings tattoo for making me represent such a poor run failure of an organization. I'm off to San Jose or Washington where I can get some real success in the playoffs...

Theyve had a good start because Lehtonen is playing like god in net but Morrow would be seriously what Detriots top lines have been lacking. Doan, Morrow and Bourque could all be available and likely wouldnt take us mortgaging the future to attain. They all also play with and have solid size, which this teams top 6 could desperately use. Parise is the best option but I think youre looking at Filppula, Tatar or Kindl and a first to get those talks started. I would make the trade though

Isn't Dallas playing well this season? Why would they trade Morrow?

Not going there not ging to bite on this thread :caution:

This loyalty thing has gotten this team into trouble with certain players.

They also made it to the Western Conference Finals.

Blame Canada.

I blame Nick Lidstrom. If Howard is to blame for one loss for having one son, Lidstrom must be to blame for the other four.

Tin man Joe is a peice of s***. No heart.

"Old Woman!" "Man!"

"I'm not dead." "Oh, don't be such a baby. "
