I was kicking. A tire and thought I hurt my foot, everything is fine.

We have one circus clown every night on D, tonight was Big E's turn.

Which would then make it a Bad Pass Goal?

They're not drinking Gatorade, they're drinking Nobodygivesaf***erade.

The title of the thread is incorrect. It should say Ottawa vs. Howard. This is ridiculous.....

Was anyone else as disappointed as me when RedWingsCentral decided to stop writing articles?... I looked forward to them every week...

Semin has three years left on his contract after this year, and Yandle is about the same as Smith defensively (in that neither is terrible, nor are they great) and regularly puts up 50 pts. The difference being that Yandle is an amazing transition player and PP quarterback who shoots right. Weren't you the one bitching in the GDT about how our defensemen can't move the puck in transition? Well here you go, Yandle is on of the best in the entire league at producing offense from the back end. Again, I'd rather move Quincey or Kindl than Smith, but you have to give to get. And anybody who thinks Smith >/= Yandle is nuts.

This team lacks identity. We've got an organizational philosophy that values skill and puck possession, and a coach that wants to play a grinding, "heavy", crash and bang sort of game (as evidence, look how much our fourth line played tonight late in the game. He clearly prefers grinding, dump and chase hockey). Since the GM, roster, and drafting philosophy aren't going anywhere, Babs is going to have to make some adjustments to his game play to maximize the talent he's got. If he does, we'll come around. If he doesn't, we'll flounder. For years I've heard over, and over, and over again that Babs is the best in the business in getting the most out of his players. Time to test that theory. This is not an untalented team. This is a team that's under performing. Let's see how good he really is at maximizing the talent he's got. Also, Ken Holland, you listening? We need a second line center and another PP capable defenseman. Seriously. f***.

The only good thing about this game is Howard. The offense is just as s*** as the defense. Ottawa is not a good team defensively

Defense? Everyone but Howard is playing like crap.

That was a sad day. I always liked Steve when he was with the Wings.

How about someone actually try to stay close to Karlsson on the PK? just letting him shoot is a recipy for disaster.

True, just saying, that was the last time I remember it happening against the Wings, and Howie took a much bigger bump than Smith did. Huge save by Jimmy on the shorthanded break!

Smith-ing.

Jimmy must be doing well if he still hasn't given up anything when apparently the ice was tilted one way in that first period .

Sluggish, too many passes, letting them stroll right into the O zone because they keep beating our D.

FYP!

Yeah it was mine too until I seen there still wasn't one, but I'm gonna say Jurco gets his first.Glendenning has one, let's get the jerk going.

Well today is election day... My vote goes to... Tatersauce 4-2 Wings Go Wings!!!

well, this is Franzen's arena, I am expecting at least a Hattie... Lets Go Wings!

I used to go there all the time and check out there prospect reporting. It was clearly the best source of prospect news. Especially overseas prospect news. Bar none.

According to RedWingsCentral which WAS a great source of information on our prospects, he was ranked #1 for four straight rankings until he slipped to #4 in his last one. But yes, he was for a year or so, considered our best prospect.

SUPERSTAR

1 goal, 9 points in 13 games. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=86073

I would love if we did this. So if Weiss was to retire, is Mikey Ilitch allowed to contribute to his retirement as a "gift"? Thus allowing our old pal Damien to come back to play with hank. Then Dats can play with Goose & Tatar
