An islander goalie comes to mind Pretending prospects are sure things is a dangerous game

I would love to see Callahan steal Miller's spot. More grit and possibly also better scoring touch.

Tell that to ovie

Left shoe on the right wing. Another leftie on the right side in Detroit, nothing changes.

My left shoe could put up more points than Abby playing with z and d.

I've said it before, but I really want Mantha on Pavel's wing. Throughout his junior career, people have complained that he doesn't dominate play - Malik even complained about it after the first prospects game (after he scored 2 goals ). Those who watch him closely say this is because his style of play doesn't involve chasing round the O-zone, but rather waiting for the puck to come to him and then taking advantage. Rather like Brett Hull used to be with Pav - hanging round the slot while the kids mucked around in the corners, the puck would suddenly come free and there was an open Brett Hull firing a shot on net. Sounds like Mantha has the shot, and the awareness (and the size, and the skating) to be a perfect foil to Pav.

Unless of course Mrazek is the next Blaine Lacher Jim Carey (not the actor) or Andrew Raycroft.

MANTHA IS LAZY AND HE SUCKS

Glendening is very useful. He can be a 4th line RW - Abby - Helm - Glendening ORRRRRRR he can play C and shut down Crosby like he did last year. We should hang onto him.

Some people are so damn impatient. I think a huge reason why I am patient with the way the Wings do things is because I am huge fan as the entire Red Wings organization. I am just as much a fan of the Griffins as I am the Wings. I watch 82 Wings games plus every playoff game every single year, I've watched about 90% of Griffins games the past few years and every single playoff game, as well as a scattered East Coast and Junior game to follow prospects down there as well. I don't want to see Mantha or Jurco or Pulkkinen rushed into the league because I'm quite content watching them develop their game down in Grand Rapids. I'd be happier to see three of them down in the AHL getting huge minutes, playing in all situations, possibly finish the season in the top 10 in scoring while helping the Griffins win another Calder Cup, then see any of them on the 3rd line in the NHL, playing 10-15 minutes a night and no special teams... I do believe some of these guys will be unbelievable in the next few years, and credit to the Wings organization for being patient with them and making sure they're good and ready before they're thrown into the best league in the world. Be Patient! And Watch Them Develop!

I'm still in disbelief that holland never upgraded the Defense, it's mind boggling. My mind is boggled!

WTF is this? Chicago and Washington are not even close to being rivals. They could have....oh I don't know....given everyone Montreal and Boston Or hey, how about Vancouver and San Jose in Seattle? I'm surprised Bettman wasn't all over that one.
