It very much annoys me that Subban punches Nyquist when he's in the bench and NO ONE does anything about it.

There are days when our defense looks way better than it should, and then there are days where they look like a box of factory reject dildos. I still just can't believe how many forwards we've added in the last few years considering how many quality defensemen we lost. It shouldn't be so easy for the D to be this useless. The defense absolutely needs to get stronger so they can stop having to rely on luck and can just start being good. Maybe someone on the team should call out Franzen...

THEIR LOGO IS A TOILET SEAT COME ON BOYS

Be more specific, they have a lot of them. At least the dildos are hard, our D is soft.

My prediction. Glendening gets his first goal in the third, the team rallies around it and the wings win 5-3

Im sorry guys but why are you saying we suck? This has been even, they capitalized we haven't, they got Some bounces we haven't. It happens. We cant score, and we also have out back up goalie in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

IT HAPPENED IT HAPPENED GELNDENINGNING

Despite the score, I don't think they're playing all that badly. They've gotten several chances, not a lot of good bounces and Montreal has capitalized on every mistake.

Markov mauling Nyquist. Someone should give him a BC two hander.

Now Weiss is on drugs and faking an injury? What did I miss here? His wound has inflammation, it's not getting any better, so Holland probably said just to take the recovery slow, and heal up fully and come back with a fresh slate next season being %100 healthy. Too many tinfoil hats bouncing around here.

GLANDENING FINALLY GETS IT!

Thanks for making me spray tea out my nose. Well played.

For people wondering what I have against Backes, it's crap like this. St. Louis losing 3-0 with a little over 5 minutes left in the third period, Backes gets outmuscled by Mackinnon so he gets up and drops the gloves on the 18 year old rookie, pushes him down, then punches him when he's on the ice. Then there's Jackhole playing the toughguy with some gloved punches when a ref is right there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoYMetw0zRo I would want to root for St. Louis, but just can't with those two d-bags on the roster.

and the trolls come out tonight... good lord people get a grip

This is the time we need a Lids/Homer combo. Guaranteed a goal.

Mine too

Please tell me that's sarcasm.

The refs have been a joke so far. I counted at least 4 habs penalties that were far worse then what the wings were called for that period... That's just pathetic. The best part is all habs powerplays came literally right after they should have been called for something. Aside from the poor officiating, the wings need to be better. They were a step behind most the period. I think pav would benefit from the speed and energy of Nyquist. I can't stand franzen playing with Nyquist. Nyquist- pav- Alfie is a great line. Either way, wings need to come out more engaged.

Did Don Cherry actually say "just stroke him off?"

If I could, I would punch Don Cherry right in tha kisser.

Pushing... Poking... Tickling... They're all penalties in the new NHL.

Montreal game plan for tonight 1. Skate up to wings players 2. Fall down 3. Get power play 4. Wash, rinse, repeat

I still have hope for Weiss. Frustrating, but I'm not going to write him off entirely in an injury riddled season. If he comes back healthy in the fall, I still expect him to be a 50-60 point player for the Wings. No team is going to want him in a trade and there's no sense in buying him out -- nobody can really judge what type of player he might be the next four years based on 26 games. It will be interesting to see if the Red Wings opt to re-sign Legwand with their glut of centers.

Clarkson benefited from playing with 2 good guys on his line and in a system where the strategy was "bank it in off Clarkson." He should have stayed in that system even though they weren't going to pay him as much. Weiss is a good hockey player who is dealing with an injury that can linger long term anyway, and that is complicated by the fact that it's in an area where hockey players use more than just about any other athlete. It's no different than if a starting pitcher tears his rotator cuff or a running back tears an ACL.

I can't speak for everyone else but my fascination with him has a lot to do with the fact that he's a huge powerforward who's a stud defensively, chips in 20-25 goals and 50+ pts. a season, hits like a truck, plays hard every shift of every game, is a consummate leader, and doesn't seem overly douchey as a person. But that's just me.
