These are the wins I can still enjoy. Lots of young guys putting up points, hinting at some hope for the future, not to mention watching the Wings put up 6 g's is awesome by itself. Good stuff.

Reading this thread's last couple of pages makes me wonder if perhaps you could do with finding greater meaning elsewhere in your life, rather than badgering someone to confess that you, oh wise one, were right all along. Mrazek has shown that he has great natural talent. He has also shown that lacks the positional fundamentals to maximise that talent consistently. The latter should be considerably easier to acquire than the former, but alas he is now further from doing so than he was when he first broke into the league. This suggests greater mental fragility than he demonstrated through his junior and earlier professional career. Can he fix it? Who knows? At this stage there are still a whole load of possibilities from finding himself back in eastern europe for the remainder of his career, to turning it around and becoming a good starting NHL goaltender. Very few goaltenders have become what they will be at his age, and that includes those who start great and tail off, and those who suddenly find consistency. None of us know the guy personally, so can't comment on whether he has the mental strength, flexibility, humility and intelligence to become the player he once looked very likely to be. And now he's not a wing any longer, very few of us care.

The issue with Kane is his attitude. Right now the guy is playing for a contract, so you have to think he is on his best behavior, If I'm San Jose, it would make me nervous to sign him long term term as if the issues re-surface, that could hand cuff you for years. With that being said, I guess its up to the coach, captain, vets etc. to see if he has legit changed, or if the BS is still there.

No, it's because I supported the Nielsen contract and I refuse to be wrong about it. I would for sure re-sign Kane. He's fit in well there. After that, I'm not saying that they shouldn't sign JT if he wants to play there and they can make the money work. I am just saying that they have good chemistry now with their group of forwards and bringing in Tavares and moving Pavelski to wing is no guarantee of success.It would be a very expensive mistake if it didn't work out. But if it did, they should probably plan their Cup parade.

A winning streak. Who'da thunk it? Svech gets another goal!

2 wins in a row.

I didn't watch one game this year and the same until at the very least Blashill is fired. I believe a GM change would be helpful too but I will give a temporary pass on keeping Holland but Blashill is garbage and has to go... I think 3 seasons of driving in reverse is enough. Look at what Gallant is doing in LV. I believe a real coach would make this same team hard to play against. Blashill stinks but the odour coming from Holland these days isnt much better.

No! You know who would be a great fit in San Jose? Frans mother f***ing Nielsen, that's who...

DeKeyser is pretty much what I would expect Brickley to be. Which isn't a bad thing, as long as whoever signs him, doesn't give him a ridiculous 6 year, $30M contract...
