Let's hope they come out with the same energy they had in the 2nd half of last game and get another W. Expecting Jimmy to be in nets. LGW!

2-0 start lets go

Worth noting that Karlsson isn't playing tonight and Oduya's status is up in the air. Without Karlsson, their D's more or less as weak as ours.

His goals per game average was just as high the year before, without Vanek, as it was last year. But what you're saying is a truism anyway. Of course most of your goals are set up by your linemates. The only other options are that you score all of your goals by yourself, or your goals are set up by guys who aren't on the ice with you.

It's believed he's looking for around $2.5M x 2 years. But it also seems like there's more to it than the money. Apparently he wants to be guaranteed a spot in the top nine and PP time and PK time -- and apparently Holland has given him that guarantee. Maybe he wants Blashill gone. Maybe he's got a problem with a teammate. Maybe he wants to play in the Olympics. Maybe he's being a big baby. I'm starting to sour on him.

Well then... interesting. Wings 5-2.

Updated, with the new site I think the pixel restrictions on images are set too low so you have to click the image and click it again to see it in real size. I'll talk to Matt about it, he's likely unaware and I don't want to have our GDTs display this small. Either way, LGW!! Let's get another W tonight.

he's picking it up guys, 2+3 in 4 games now and a +1 as well.

One of the few things all of us here can agree on. (I think?) He seems like a good guy and I don't mind him as a third-pairing PK specialist, but that cap space could be put to better use. For what it's worth, he only played, like, three minutes in the third period of Thursday night's game. And I don't think it was because of injury. Perhaps Blashill is souring on him.

I do like me some Shea Theodore...

After what Smith got us last year, I have no doubt Green can get a 1st from a contender.

Anyone else see that Athanasiou was an answer on Jeopardy?

Next year Mantha and Larkin will be junior guys not worth investing coin on either right? Will everyone quickly bid them adios when they ask for $4Mill each? AA was a bright spot last year constantly in Blashill's dog house due to his defense as a forward and an after thought in negotiations due to Holland's past bad contracts and inability to make a trade. Tatar shouldn't have been signed and Nyquist, Nielsen or Sheahan dealt. If things are tight now what happens next year when Holland's GM skills are on display again with an even worse cap situation? Sorry AA you deserved a better fate both from a coach and from an organization.

I'm starting to sour on this kid....Mr. Athanasiou, don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!

AA is only arbitration eligible if he plays in Detroit this year, If he goes to the KHL or Europe this year he looses his salary arbitration rights next year and will be in the same boat as this year. He wouldn't be eligible until he reaches 25 years old and that's if he plays next year.

i think a lot of people were too busy walking around checking out the new digs... sounded like someone recorded the old horn with their phone.. also glad to hear it sounds better in the arena.

Or you could throw Ericsson, Glendening, Witkowski, and Sproul on the ice at the same time. Same number of legs, same usefulness.

Just cause there's a goalie, doesnt mean you cant score.

Send AA to Vegas along with Ericsson and Neilsen. Clears about $10 million in cap space. Offer Tavares a max contract, resign Mantha, Larkin, Frk and Mrazek in offseason. Draft Svech. Cup in 3 years.

10-0 Wings Frk scores al 10 goals. Howard gets injured somehow.

I’ll be at the Tampa game to check it out.

Nah it ain't at that level. These guys are lame.
