    Bertuzzi caught doing the can opener.

    I have to agree, though. If he's holding down a line, move him down a couple lines. He's still effective out there, but he shouldn't be out there on a skill line if he's having trouble contributing to it.

    All in all, we could have been in the lead at the end of this period, but shoddy goaltendingbut us in a hole. Tighten up a little bit and take some chances offensively and we'lll be fine.

    Jimmy Howard will miss Tuesday's Game

    Did someone already make a joke about Howard's wife and her five hole being as open as her husbands?

    Xavier oulette

    Atta boy! Wouldn't it be something if we somehow got two NHL regulars in this draft alone in regards to defensemen? And you never know, Ned might turn out to be that brusing 6th DMan who doesn't take crap from anyone.

    Pronger injured after high-stick

    Fixed it for you. Bertuzzi didn't end anyone's career. Even forgetting that Bertuzzi's punch didn't break Moore's neck and that it was the dog pile that did the damage, Moore was still offered NHL contracts after the fact. Pronger is a massive ****** and karma got him good, but for the sake of his family and well-being, I hope he does make a full recovery.

    There, their, they're? There the same!. Resigned or re-sign? Pshhh same difference. Affect and effect? You get the same effect either way.We speak American here, not English.

    Trade between Florida and Vancouver

    Not all teams understand loyalty. It's a luxury Wing's fans have grown accustomed to. side note: I like our line-up and I'll like it even more when Mursak is inserted into it. I guess all I'd look to trade for is a top 4 DMan and move Stuart to the 3rd pairing, but even then, Kindl and Ericsson have looked above average this season as a pairing and I don't think you break those two up. Maybe add a grittier 4th liner with some snarl. And again, Miller and Emmerton have both looked decent for their roles and Eaves is bound to come around. I wouldn't say Vancouver flopped. They got to game 7 in the SCF. it was unfortunate they had a choker in 7uongo in net. A team that flopped would be our Wings between their last SC and the one previous to that.

    Tomas Jurco

    I think it's because we have so many talented forwards in our system, that we are getting gaga over all of our defensive prospects right now. Jurco is a beast, though. Him and Tvrdon both.

    I missed the game due to work, didn't read this thread, but is the sky falling and people over-reacting to one game?

    Riley Sheahan

    The only thing I disagree with is that he could be higher than Iron Hook. Iron hook is a damn complete player. But then again, if i needed to throw either Sheahan or Jarnkrok on a Red Wing line today, i'd go with Sheahan. It's like what i said last season, Sheahan and Nyquist could play right now and not be out of place.

    If we shut their 1st line down, we should win. Our 2nd and 3rd lines are beast.

    10/21 GDT: Blue Jackets 2 at Red Wings 5

    Too bad the Red Wings are too old, though. And Holland is an idiot for not spending to the cap. /sarcasm. It's hard to believe that during the 90s and 00s that this is the first time since the mid 70s the Wings have had such a great start.

    Thoughts on Ericsson?

    I see Stuart's value. He's not over-paid, but he's not under-rated. I think his contract is about where his value is. I do think he has regressed slightly, but he's not a bargain by any stretch of the means. Solid, but not a bargain. Two things I like about this fight. Ericsson clearly won and when Dorsett said I'm done, Ericsson didn't take advantage of him You actually made me laugh +1. Let's just hope these "mistakes" you are talking about, aren't the ones that have plagued him in the past. He looked sketchy the first couple games, but he actually looks good out there. Who would have though Kindl and Ericsson would be one of the better D Pairings in the league this year?

    Filppula is "too nice".

    Priceless, even though I know Eva was just stating facts, it's fun to see this consecutively.

    I'll take White any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Then you incorporate their pay, White wins by a landslide, but I know what you mean when you posted this. Some players care about money while other care about tradition and team atmosphere.

    The Official NHL Suspension Thread

    Suspend the act, not the outcome. Shanny fined Weber for the outcome and the act, where Letang got suspended for the same thing, except the player hurt himself AFTER the hit. Ball dropped, but I won't lose sleep over Shanny's first inconsistency. F that. To punish CBus, make them keep their roster intact since that seems punishment enough with their struggles

    I'm going to do my best to check on the game during work. Hopefully there are lots of fights and lots of stoppages so i can catch the ending when I get off work.

    Does anyone know if there are any sites where you can stream games on an iPhone 4s?

    ESPN insider article re: Wing's deadline cap space

    Wings won't throw in a core player for a rental player. It's not Holland works. Filppula Won't be traded. Wings Won't get a star player. For a third line scrub last trade deadline it was costing at least a first round pick. Our first round pick last season saw us land a top six forward and a 4-5 DMan this past summer. I honestly just don't see any room for anyone at the moment. Unless we packaged Emmerton and Hudler along a mid tier pick, i don't see anyone of note being traded to us. And with the way Hudler has been playing, I don't think you trade him (Unless he really picks up his game, then we could trade him for a veteran with 3-4 years of good hockey left at the deadline). But the Wings are NOT trading for anyone 27 or under that is really good or has amazing potential. This isn't a G'damn video game.
