I have to... if I don't want to get caught by my supervisor.

Am I still alive? That didn't just happen.... not to the Wings.

The Habs are suffering a beatdown that reminds me of the epic one we put on Patrick Roy back in the day!

Zata El

I'll do it if I get to be the son of Jor El!

Out with my wife, leeching wifi at the mall. Hank scores? Fear the Zetterbeard!

OMG line generating chances, good to see that

It all starts with the defense. He's had some good games, but the numbers won't show that when he's getting peppered every night and so many odd man rushes are being allowed to break through.

lol, the camera goes to Trouba wearing a Jets shirt, then he rips it off ala Hogan to reveal the Wings shirt! We just need Jim Ross announcing saying "Bah God, he's a Red Wing!!!!! Holland did it!!!!" and then the crowd erupts!

Are you that quick with PhotoShop or what?

Is this real ... ... wait, we don't want to start that AGAIN!

Good start.

Weak! No need for them to interfere when we take our own guys out. PP upcoming, make 'em pay.

LGW! Holy s*** I actually get to watch this one!

Taking one comment and blowing it out of proportion. Blashill doesn't even dis AA in that comment, in my opinion. Here's other quotes from Blashill on AA: "Double A is a good player who’s growing. Double A will prove whether or not if he can an elite player, but when he left the American League he was not yet an elite player, so to think all of a sudden he’s going to come here and be an elite player I think is asking a lot of him. I have thought he’s shown flashes of elite and that’s why we’ve used him in the minutes that we’ve used him." http://windsorstar.com/sports/hockey/given-the-opportunity-athanasiou-delivers-for-wings The underlining assumption in these words are that Blashill thinks he can be elite so that's a good review. I think he should be played more, but I don't buy that there's a conflict at all. Many on here were sure that AA would be in the AHL and he's been playing on top lines so that should be taken into account when thinking of AA's usage - i.e. we should at least give them credit for that.

I don't know why he hasn't played Larkin-Z-Abby, they clicked for a while last year.

If you have the puck the other team can't score. If you don't have the puck, you can't score. Possession is one of the biggest factors in winning.

Our new team motto.

Nice play by E!! Couldn't believe it. Wings get a goal call go their way, then E makes a sick defensive play...where am i??

10-2 in shots. It's been the other way around in recent 1st periods - good to see.

OMG! OMG! OMG! Wings draw first blood

This thread is an over reaction. After the first 8 games when we ranked #1 in the NHL in scoring, I would NEVER create a thread at that time saying we are the best goal scoring team in the league. Way to small of a sample size! To say we are the worst puck possession team in the league after 11 games, same thing, an over-reaction to a small sample size. We need to improve in puck possession for sure, but lets stop with the hyperbole. People are so up and down on here. We lose the first two and "we are junk!" We win 6 and we now no longer need Trouba an "we are awesome!" We then lose 2 more and an OT game, and "we are awful again!"

Mrazek confirmed, need a good night all around and get a full 2 points out of this winnable game. Welcome back Kronwall. LGW

I think the thing I find comical are all the fans who were claiming that we gave away the talent in Frk and Pulkkinen for nothing. Yet, each of these players played a game or two for their new clubs and then were waived. If Holland is the worst GM for waiving these players and getting nothing in return, then I wonder how fans of the Wild and Carolina feel. You see, the waiver wire is littered with a bulk of 4th line players. Everyone knows this. So when a player like Pulkkinen and Frk hit the wire, other teams aren't finding gold when they pick them up. They are doing it for short term evaluation. Anyway, the point is that the Wings aren't shedding top tier talent to waivers. They are dropping 4th line pieces that anyone can get off the waiver wire. The Wings could go hunting like this as well, but every team has 4th line plugs waiting to get into the lineup.
