There goes our chance at a Stanley Cup.

Who knows maybe Kindl is shipped out on the deadline and they call up Smith? I'd be ok with that until E gets back.

Ott on Vancouver rumors: "Yeah, I'm an *******, sure. But am I a Canucks-grade *******? Not sure."

That's called being a prick? Well, I'm glad you didn't read my posts 4 or 5 years ago. I just think you're dead wrong on your outlook towards the fight in the 3rd period. So do most people here apparently. Because he knows he's got immunity. He knows he won't be traded because he's played well in the playoffs before. Basically, he feels like he doesn't have to try every shift. Unlike a guy like Miller, who knows he has to bust his ass to keep his spot on the team.

Can we please do something with Franzen? Fire him up somehow or possibly trade...this guy looks pathetic out there.

People blaming Quincy get over yourselves. The ENTIRE top 2 lines are playing like CRAP. Once again Howard and Nick are our best players while our top 2 lines are terrible. Babcock, that powerplay is GARBAGE... how about using the 3rd line on the powerplay... god knows they deserve it and they might just get something done. On a side note, towards to teh end of the period you coudl tell Hank was really picking up his game trying to get the Wings back in it (notice how he looked better when Franzen was taken off of his line...)

what this game needs is more dangle:

Given that Ott is a douchebag, the Flyers and Canucks seem like the best fit.

I would lose Hudler for Parise in a heart-beat. And I wouldn't' want Hudler for 5 million, either. But some people act like Hudler is worthless which is clearly not the case. Even if Zetterberg weren't having an off year Hudler would still be 3rd in scoring. Nothing to sneeze at. Until we get someone who is a bona-fide improvement over Hudler (Parise) we need to keep him. Don't trade him for a bottom 6er is basically what I'm saying.

Hey, if you guys want a team to win games and fights...........well, then go be a Boston fan.

Pathetic period. With that said, it should only be 1-0 because I do not know how the hell there was not a penalty called on the Avs before their 2nd goal... Quincy was CLEARLY tripped! Regardless the Wings level of play was pathetic and unacceptable. For the love of God Babcock CHANGE THE FREAKIN LINES!! Franzen is useless and ever since Hank has been stuck with him he has went back to playing bad. Franzen can play on the 4th line for all I care right now. I want Fil and Hank together with Bert on the top line. Hopefully the Wings can get going in the 2nd and hopefully the refs start doing their jobs.

I know I've never liked Franzen, but now its bordering on hate. He seems non existent. And god do I hope we make some kinda move for some scoring.

That and Franzen is pretty much useless, Bertuzzi only plays as well as he has with Dats and Z isn't showing the spark he has. Cleary doesn't belong on the second line either.

Our top 6 is so sick without pavs

Get better quick, E.

addition by subtraction But really... get well soon E

Abby was at the end of a long shift.

That's a nice tie Murph.

It's Quinceys first game against his former team, probably was nervous. He was great last game, give him time.

Great start guys!

Only reason he's second on the team in scoring is because Zetterberg is having an off year. He won't be worth the money that he will ask for at the end of this season, guaranteed. It's fine to mark out over him like you're doing, but for the money he will want, they could get someone bigger who scores as much or more....

If I were Holland I would let him walk or trade him atleast. If we have any shot at Parise and/or Suter we are gonna have to part with some players in order to make it happen and Lidstrom if he comes back is gonna have to take a pay cut. I think its about time he does so anyway given the fact that he is over 40 years old. Sure we have him at a discount but I would say to his benefit he has had the chance to play for an owner that would never trade him and has paid him 11 million per year at one point. These players mak too much anyways but if we expect to get players of this caliber we have to be prepared to pony up the cash. This is what I hate about the salary floor. Teams that have no business spending that much money are giving players inflated contracts just to meet the criteria. Doesn't that screw with the pay scale for everyone else? The other thing I hate as well is players like Brian Campbell can be unloaded and thus helping teams that pay stupid contracts get out from underneath them. Sorry for getting off topic, just felt like venting.

Especially since Zidlicky was so vocal about wanting to be traded. You'd think that would make his price go down.

It seems like it would be unlikely he was ever on it, other than for part of a deal for someone like Nash. Unless it's someone of that caliber I dont' know why they'd trade Brown.
