I wish Dallas still had Turco he'd have given up a couple goals by now

Im a big fan of Tootoo, would love(ed) to see what an Abby/Helm/Tootoo line could do. Feel he was never allowed to flourish here and confident he could have. Was hoping he would get picked up and go to a team that would utilize him and all of his skillset properly. It was fun watxhing the glass rattle each of his shifts!

I hope the people who defend Quincey have been watching the past 5-6 games, despite some good team play, he's beenf****** terrible. I used to think the guy was a really good defenseman, then he came back here and has been a mess. Despite that, ZDB dominated that period, so did the whole team, need a good 20 minutes to get these 2 points.

f***, how bad are you Quincey?!?! Hit the jesus net straight on and that's in, I can't believe how bad he is at shooting the puck. Either wide or in the corners.

Everyone that wrote off Bert before this season can suck it

Man is Dano ever an anchor with Weiss and Alfredsson.

and that, ladies and gents, is why Pavel Datsyuk is a GOD

OMG!!!! Shut Up! Shut Up! WHHOOOOO HOOOO

Abby with his cement hands make my red wang even more enflamed.

Q makes Smith look worse than he is. Smith played quite well with Kronwall. Quincey causes problems for everyone around him with his malarkey.

He protects our Jesus Net with his life.

Set up by the Captain Hank! That's gotta make it even sweeter. DeKeyser last game, Almqvist this game. It's about time that it's our boys getting firsts!

ATOM BOMBQUIST

How does hitting the Jesus net compare to hitting the Juck ******* Pott or a kick in the yambag?

Average save by Howard there.

Anybody else love Pav's "It's time...for Datsyukian Dekes!" as much as I did?

That's weak. I wish Dano, Sammy and Quincey would move to siberia together.

Better alcohol has been discovered. Let's get RIPs***!

Nope. All injuries/illnesses are proven and documented. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment to remove Bertuzzi's spleen for exactly 10 games or 21 days, whichever comes first. I don't think we'd be messing around with waiving Tootoo if we were planning on scheduling injuries/illnesses unless we're hoping that the league will think that we have plans for when everyone comes back. It could get interesting if our players continue to fall one by one during the season, especially if some are not well-documented. The league won't question broken bones or the like, but flu-like symptoms could get dicey. We also need to make sure that the "sick" ones are on board with the Plot and don't let on to the media. <glares at Franzen whilst fondling a scalpel>

The Cleary and Samuelsson signings really hurt at this point. I'm not going to wade into the Holland debate, but I hope that at some point Tootoo will be back on the 4th line where he belongs.

The Tootoo signing was stupid. The Sammy signing was stupid. The Cleary signing was stupid. The Colaiacovo signing was stupid. The Weiss signing looks like it might be a bust. Alfredsson was a one-year slam dunk, and he basically came to Holland and said, "Sell me on the Wings and I'm yours" (not so different from Hossa, Holland's other "recent" slam dunk). Also, he seems ok with losing pieces for nothing, as opposed to something (I guess I'm mostly referring to Filppula here). Without Datsyuk and Zetterberg, this would be a terrible, terrible team. I'm not asking for perfection, but you would expect the ZOMG BEST GM EVER to not fall flat on his face all over the place like he's been doing lately. Just getting Gustav Nyquist on this roster is proving to be a monumental challenge for him, or something he's simply not very interested in doing. (Which is fine. I mean, it's not like Nyquist is one of our best forwards or anything, and it's not like we need any help up front.) Where's the creativity? Where's the urgency? Where's the rabbit from the hat? I feel like our ZOMG BEST GM EVER has been sitting on his hands for seven seasons. And for what purpose? To what end? The rise of our young prospects? The singular importance of building and promoting from within? That song and dance? ZOMG BEST GM EVER though he may be, Holland seems awfully content to "just be," saying, "ZOMG SALARY CAP. MY HANDS ARE TIED," at every opportunity. Yes, Ken, your hands are tied. By your butt. /weekly rant

[insert joke about breaking down barriers, reaching out to the fans, etc.]

Next goal is the only one that matters.

I can't believe he's the same player I saw play in LA/Colorado, it's mind blowing. I stand by what I said, he will not score a goal this year
