    Call up the kids now

    By watching how they play when called up to the NHL. Even these so-called "overripe players" don't look all that impressive.

    Ian White Out 2-3 Weeks

    It's better to have these injuries now than in Apr.......................oh wait

    Trade for Bogosian

    Holland doesn't value first round picks much.

    Who are these kids? Our farm system isn't as good as people here make it out to be.

    1/22 GDT : Stars 2 at Red Wings 1

    LOL. You're so paranoid about posters coming back with different names. Didn't you call several people mindfly last year? Bold accusations Crymson.

    I hope they put him on the same line as your boy and Sammy. Have fun then.

    If someone beat up Franzen, would anyone here be upset?

    Literally. We should have spent money the last few offseasons and deadlines to get one.

    And we make up for it by being terrible in the defensive zone.

    Yzerman should be arrested for theft right now. Then again, since it was willing and mutual, it was more of a gift rather than a theft.

    You think Holland would like to have that trade back?

    That's game. Thanks for the show Kenny. Will you sign Scott Gomez tomorrow to help with our powerplay?

    Karen Newman

    Maybe she's voicing her displeasure with the NHL lockout, and with Holland's offseason ineptitude in general. You go girl!

    Howard realizes this is going to be a really long season. The defensive coverage is a joke.

    Jordin Tootoo: Usage? (6:57 TOI vs. Columbus)

    You mean a 4th liner? I agree. We should only play with 9 forwards in every game.

    Jordin Tootoo: Usage? (6:57 TOI vs. Columbus)

    Souray fell down after Lilja cracked through his helmet. The video doesn't lie. One punch TKO.

    Jordin Tootoo: Usage? (6:57 TOI vs. Columbus)

    I suppose Souray slipped in this fight. Are you his agent by any chance?

    Jordin Tootoo: Usage? (6:57 TOI vs. Columbus)

    He ragdolled Boll and decorated Sheldon Souray's face with his fist.
  19. Offensive minded is different than offensively effective. It's a matter of semantics, probably. I guess White can be a decent offensive defenseman, but a lot of that was thanks to Lidstrom last season. Smith still has to prove himself and Quincey has been a disaster. Ericsson doesn't have an accurate enough shot from the point, which is why he never plays on the PP.

    Jordin Tootoo: Usage? (6:57 TOI vs. Columbus)

    We don't have anyone who can play the physical game he plays. Helm would be the closest, but Tootoo is more physical and more dangerous to play against than Helm. And Helm is seemingly always hurt now to boot. If you're looking to bench someone who isn't contributing in their "role", it wouldn't be Tootoo. And role players are very important to teams. You make them sound pointless in your first sentence. The Wings wouldn't have won any of our Cups without role players.
  21. Really? Kronwall is the only established one we have right now.

    Jordin Tootoo: Usage? (6:57 TOI vs. Columbus)

    Is it just me, or has Boll fought all our fighters from the last few years? Downey Lilja May Tootoo I was going to type in Ericsson, but it was Dorsett who Ericsson fought last year. He can beat taller guys, but Tootoo isn't as great a fighter as he used to be several years ago. Just be happy that he's willing and will stick up for the team. I don't expect him to win many fights this year.
  23. What do we have to trade for a top 4 defenseman? We don't have enough depth at the top 6 forward position to make that kind of move. And if I was a GM, I wouldn't trade a top 4 defenseman for anything other than a top 6 forward. Certainly not at this stage in the season, at least. He should have known when he signed Colaicovo, that the guy had a history of injuries.
  24. How can you be 6'4 and only weigh 205?
  25. Kent Huskins for Brett Lebda. Nice trade.
