And now he's tied with Brandon "the goon" Prust in points and 3 points ahead of McGrattan. Guess I was wrong wanting those guys over him.

That was awesome! I never thought getting Helm back would help our goal scoring. Dano gets the assist there.

Maybe taking #90 was the death knell for him? The Wings need to retire that number.

He's just filling his role as a 4th liner, now that Tootoo is always scratched.

Daniel Cleary 20 games played, 1G 2A Stephen Weiss 20 games played, 2G 1A Valterri Filppula 25 games played, 9G 10A The scary thing is that Weiss isn't any better than Cleary. Brian McGrattan 22 games played, 0G 1A (if McGrattan can somehow score a point in his next game, he will only be a point behind Cleary and Weiss).

I would strangle 10 puppies to have that guy on the Wings.

Filppula doesn't seem to have trouble adjusting to a new team. Weiss may turn out to be a good signing, but I was never in favor of signing another small, left-handed centerman in his 30's. Then again, even I didn't think he'd be this bad 25 games in.

I don't wish injuries either. Probably because I'm not a wishing machine. But that doesn't mean I'm going to feel sorry for an a-hole like Weber.

This franchise has never been afraid to bench goalies like Hasek, Cujo or Osgood. Don't know why it would be any different with Jimmy "freaking" Howard. If Gustavsson is a better goalie right now, then he needs to start most of the games.

Here comes Chara to "pick his spots" as Engblom put it.

Wow! Maybe Datsyuk is the problem with this team.

He's not of this planet.

He has no role. It was another one of Holland's dumb recent moves.

Why not? It's fun.

It'll definitely help me sleep better at night. I slept a lot better when Downey was on the team.

A big, physical scoring winger. There's other things, obviously, but that's the most important one.

Is it just me or is Ruutu always rumored to be in some deal? Maybe it's just on LGW.

Dan "The Man" laughs at this silly thread.

I already did. There isn't one in the last 15. Last 5, however, I can give you a few names, and that's more important when judging the present. Let's be honest, even Mike Milbury couldn't screw up the Wings 15 years ago, with that talent level, salary and scouting staff. I'm concentrating on Holland's bad moves because that's what the majority of them have been in recent memory. I'm not going to give him immunity just because 10 years ago this team was finishing first every year.

Ah, I see. Immunity based on previous success.

Name me a better GM in the last 15 years?

Babcock and Holland should be fired for sitting this kid all season.

Couldn't the Canes have worn their Whaler jerseys, since the colors are similar and the pants are identical to the Wings?

I remember him having a hard shot. I honestly thought he retired years ago.

Then how do you explain the Cleary signing and giving Sammy a no-trade clause? For that matter, trading Quincey for a 1st was pretty incompetent. For a GM that always talks about not overpaying, he overpaid for Quincey.
