He's actually playing really good. i kinda like him at centre.

I'm holding out hope that Brendan Smith will be able to fill Rafalski's shoes in a couple years, after the rookie mistakes leave his system. He saw the ice so well last year during his brief stint. There's no way those games were all an accident.

I'd rather watch the kids screw up and make rookie mistakes and learn from them than watch some of our vets make rookie mistakes and often get rewarded with more playing time. I'm a lot easier on the kids watching their potential on the ice.

Kindl has been in many ways our best Dman all year. he has played well. Kronwall has played better offensively, but worse defensively. Ericsson better defensively, but not as good offensively. Those have been our top 3 all year. Smith has made a bunch oif mistakes, but you expect that from a rookie. lashoff has been very good defensively, but is not a threat with the puck. I am looking forward to dekeyser a lot.

The Avs play-by-play guy is one of the worst I've listened to.

I do too. He has to actually work his "ass" off now

Wow stacking the top 2 lines Z D Abby Flip Mule and Goose Love it!

I sort of just miss having you know...actual top four talent...in the top four. Didn't Meat Loaf sing a song about 1 outta 4 ain't bad or something?

We lost him, Stuart and Lidstrom in only a few years. Since you can't replace those players, it's only natural we'd miss them. The reason we suck at puck possession now is because those guys aren't here to start the rush. The powerplay is also important, but secondary to playing the system overall. You can't play this system with such a crappy defensive core with untalented players.

Here's to the flow.

I haven't posted a picture in awhile... got my hair cut recently (it was pretty long, I had like 6-7 inches cut off) and I got new glasses. sorry it's kinda blurry, I took it with my phone, haha

What? How in the world is that Quincey's fault? The guy hit the puck out of mid air, Lidstrom isn't even going to defend that. That goal is on Tootoo for not clearing the zone.

Mr. I isn't being cheap in any way shape or form. Last summer he was PERSONNALLY trying to land parise and Suter. Fle out to get them,wined and dined them, they choose to go home. Nothing wrong with that. This fall we will be within 2 million of the cap, if not closer just by resigning our own UFA/RFA players. Holland did try to get O'reilly, but he failed in his attempt-which will haunt us. Mr. I is not nor has he ever been the problem. Every time Holland and DD have gone to him and asked for money, they get it. he is the best type of owner. he stays out of the way untill the GM asks him to get involved.

Really strong first period, with the exception of the mandatory breakaway goal. Like these new lines much more tonight. Franzen is actually skating at center. Datsyuk and Zetterberg still have some chemistry too.

Yup as usual the reeker was on... And as usual Howard can't bail us out on breakaways or 2 on 1s.

Just...get the two points. Please.

Always loved Shanny's "NFL-Blitz" tackle of Roy in the "Brawl in Hockeytown" game.

i agree kindl has been pretty decent except the last two games i worry about smiths development

I'm excited to see what DeKeyser can do. It's high-time he got some playing time.

Rooting for one's team to lose says more about the fan than the team.

I dunno about you guys but does anyone wanna just go pure skill in the top six for just a game to see what happens? Nyquist- z- franzen Fil- pav- brunner I just wanna see what would happen

If Blue Jays Catcher J.P. Arencibia keeps having games like he did last last night, he's going to be on a first-name basis with all the ticket holders in the front row behind home plate. He should just take the solid advice of broadcasting legend (yes, I said it) Bob Uecker:
