Wear the A as a badge of honour. It says, "I've supported this dude for a long time." The longer he plays, the more time-honoured it is.

I'll tell you a secret : They have one, he wears #55.

Tatar - Sheahan - Jurco

Sheahan should change his nationality for a month and go to Sochi with Jurco and Tatar.

Even though Helm didn't bleed, that looked like more than a minor high stick

So refreshing not to see Cleary, Bert and Sammy sucking wind out there.

Jurčo's hitting everyone...love it

I love alfies shot, he is by far the best sniper on the team!

Or more shutdown D that aren't named Ericsson or Lashoff. Matt Greene or Mark Stuart are what our blue line needs. The skill will come with Ouellet and Sproul in the next couple years. Our blue line needs less Quincey and Kindl.

Weakest link on forward. Bring Eaves back.

Speaking of Whiskey, I ran out to pick up a bottle of the Macallan during the intermission and just got back. Glad to see the boys got it back.

That's some sweetness there these young pups are serious Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Looked like there was some toothage missing.

Point is, you should NEVER have to kill a penalty off for a clean hit.

Seems like the kind of game where one of our guys needs to be carried off on a stretcher for us to get a power play

You miss year after year of hoping THIS YEAR he'll finally do what we all think he can? You must be a Lions fan.

We've seen enough of Filppula's up and down crap. If he strings together 2-3 straight years of production, I'll agree that he's more than an average NHL forward. Until then, he's just another inconsistent skill guy. His complete disinterest last year made me glad to see the last of him in the winged wheel, and I really don't understand why anyone wants him back.

He's made the saves, but he just doesn't seem like he's dialed in and is fighting the puck a bit.

Jurco is going to be a beast

They are fine. All defensemen make mistakes. All defensemen get scored on. All defensemen have occasional bad games. Statistically, our top 3 measure up fairly well compared to the top 3 on the better defensive teams (.9 GA/G on average for the top 3 in average ice time from LA, StL, Bos, and Pit vs ours at .96 GA/G). The 4 and 5 spots, Quincey and Smith, are a significantly bigger difference (.66 vs our .97). Our bottom could use some help too (.53 vs .66). Adding a top defenseman, especially if it was someone good enough to move Kronwall to the second unit, would certainly help tremendously. Pushing Q to the 3rd pair, with less exposure to top forwards, probably helps that unit as well. Of course, needing a top defender (especially since we need a guy who's good at both ends) doesn't mean we have the ability to acquire one, or fit one under the cap. But that doesn't mean we wouldn't be very good if we somehow did.

I guess Weiss is a pretty big x-factor. If he can be the guy we thought we were getting when we signed him, that's incredibly big for us.

lmao that is great, know how to spot the biggest d-bag on the ice... the guy with the tinted visor. sorry ovie

Edler is a lefty. I think that is too much to give up. Tatar alone would hurt so much. I'd give Jurco + 1st + cap dump and that is the highest I would go for Edler at this point. In a perfect world - Andersson + Kindl + 1st + 3rd + lower cap dump

They don't, but it sure beats discussing whether Kronwall is a top 30 dman...
