If i knew what an adverb was, I'd play Scored a couple tickets from work, row 7. Can't wait to be out of here and in the Joe with a Molson. Wings 4- Larkin X4 Canes- 1 Faulk (deflects off Larkin)

DIdn't know AA was 11. That's my lucky number and I really like the kid. If he ends up as good as I think he will - then I'm buying that jersey. Unless, of course, you have to pay by the letter. If that's the case, I'm hoping Frk turns out.

Let's go red wings!

Well with Green and Q out, it might be time to see what other kids can do. I am all for just keeping status quo with Smith and Kindl, but inserting Jensen or Sproul for a couple games wouldn't hurt to see what they have. We know what XO and Marchy have, it's time for the other two to try out the NHL.

Take Andersson out of the damn lineup. Move Glendening down to 4th line center. Move Pulkkinen down to 3rd line right wing. Move Jurco up to second line right wing. Insert Ferraro on the 4th line right wing.

Richards out might help

I called Pulkkinen a midget because he's small. You called Balshill a moron because you think you know more about who should play where then he does. Big difference. And while "balance" is nice and all, it's not and shouldn't be the only criteria for putting a line together. For example, if you have a line which Blashill called his "best" in Vancouver (he also commented that he loved their defensive game too), you don't change that by bringing a guy down from the bleachers who hasn't played half as well as any of those three, and throw him on that line just because you think it will achieve balance. Also, Ferarro blows. Andersson's better at what he does than Ray's son is.

Why would Blashill "the moron" put the team's leading goal scorer on a checking line and give his spot to a guy that's mostly been a healthy scratch and hasn't shown he can do much of anything? Also, Andersson's been winning half of his faceoffs, second only to Gelndenning, which is good for a team that sucks at faceoffs and is having trouble with possession. But who cares about numbers? Andersson is slow and boring. We want new and shiny. Never play Andersson again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa....GDT has turned into an English assignment! ! Too much for me to handle at this moment! Let's get revenge on these little Buggers!

Nay for me. I'd rather see... Kronwall - Ericsson DeKeyser - Smith Kindl - Marchenko I'm one of the few here, but I still like Kronwall and Ericsson together. Either way, we need to get Green and Quincey back in a big way...

No. No he's really not even close. We won't see another player like Datsyuk for a very long time in the NHL.

he's a better goal scorer but i'd say pav has the better hands and hockey IQ

Green has ran into this exact hit several times already this season, maybe he should try to keep his head up next time.

Stop it right now, Evil Ken Holland. Get back in your box.

Its a respect thing. I would bet AA offered.

Cleary. Hate that guy.

Hah, and he's forced to do it with a piece of his spine missing!

Kids' not going anywhere...

Taking the perspective of someone who is indifferent towards Jurco. Aka I'm not a hater nor a fan boy of Jurco - I think he's got potential. He did decent in the preseason. It's not like he did spectacular. Personally I didn't like him on the 4th line like Babcock had him, I thought he came into the NHL maybe a season too early and was asked to play a role he shouldn't have. Having said all that. Jurco has been given good opportunity by Blashil and unfortunately he hasn't done much with it. This is the reality. Putting him on the top 6 while you have guys like Z, Dats, Nyquist, Tatar, Abby, Larkin, Richards, even Helm is just absurd. I know it sucks but lets be honest. Those guys mentioned above have done more as supportive or primary players in the top 6 than Jurco has. Although Richards has been s***** for the Wings, he just needs to get back into his groove as he is a proven top 6 center. But even without him, there's more guys knocking on that top 6 role before Jurco. One of who is named Larkin.

The Detroit Red Wings UFA curse......Thanks Uwe!

Watching the Griffins game against the Checkers while I'm waiting for the Wings game to start and its 1-1 after the first. Mantha has been dominant, by far the best player on the ice. He drew two penalties by keeping his feet moving / driving the net and scored a goal on the second power-play. Typical Mantha goal, snipe from the slot on a great behind the back, no look pass from Callahan. He had a rough year last year after that broken leg, but he's looked great in training camp and that has translated down in GR. He only has a goal and an assist in 4 games and 1 period, but he's played lights out. I bet he plays at a point per game pace for the rest of the season and is a full time Red Wing next season.

Jeff Skinner scored 63 pts at 18 and seems to be getting worse as he goes along, now 23. Not everything plays out like it does in NHL15

Good luck Toots!
