Z Winged Dangler

the Z/Ericsson tandem almost struck gold....almost!

another nice no call on tripping Dats after the crap along the boards.

No way dude. He'll put Flip on the 4th line when he's healthy so we have 1 offensive guy on each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th lines.

Lashoff getting really good at reading plays when the other team tries to enter our zone. He's standing up the blueline well.

But he's a big goof that makes space for Pav. Oh wait, he's waaaaayyyyy behind the play with Cleary. Is Babcock even watching the game, cause he's gotta see this s***.

Gee...if only he had Dats setting him up.

Dats once again does it all and Cleary can't even put the garbage home.

after playing that well, he lets that in? f*** my life! nice turnover by Abby too.

having 1 scoring line and 3 shutdown grind lines kicks ass. way better than 2 or 3 scoring lines.

my gamecenter feed for the Wings isn't working all game. and believe me, it's terrible listening to these derps and i tried getting the Wings feed about 50 times.

what a horrible game. i'll have no problem falling asleep after or possibly during this one.

Yup. Tootoo is 5 foot 8 as well. He's the other smallest guy on the ice. And now the announcers are crying for SJ again. There's many of us that share that sentiment.

these SJ announcers are ******* idiots

lol at Thornton the Jumbo floating blimp

no kidding. the amount that Babcock changes the lines up on a regular basis it's absurd that he's keeping the worst line together that is doing absolutely nothing. Dats' points are going to s*** on that line. what a waste.

Clowe is a dirty piece of s***. no call on that one...give me a break.

these lines are creating no offence whatsoever

Yeah, I wen't with the max ELC $$$ I believe. Not sure how Granlund got so much money on an ELC with the Wild, but they have one of the worst GM's in the league, so... .9 mil is the norm for young guys signing.

As a fan of the Jets that lives in Winnipeg, you in no way, shape or form want Hainsey dude. He's worse than Quincey and isn't even worth 2 mil per. I would love Clarkson here, but if Clowe came here i'd uncontrollably vomit until he left again. He's a cheap POS and belongs on the Sharks. and at $5 mil per.... . Keep Franzen instead of that D bag. Flip will get Franzen money. That's the way Kenny works. And as stated above by DSM, there's only a certain number of roster spots open and you're bang on with Clarkson but not the others. He would be perfect here. He plays a lot like Perry, not quite as lethal around the net, but he's way tougher. He would be the linemate that opens up space for Dats and Tatar, not Cleary or Abs. Franzen would also get something in a trade. There's a lot of teams that would take him in a second. Flames, BJ's, Islanders, Sabres, Stars...the list goes on. His value is understated, especially how he's actually been playing quite good this year.

Dallas feels like trading away their good players, lets go with Loui Eriksson. Get the WC line of Eriksson-Z-Mule back together and give Dats Brunner and Tatar and I poop myself from extreme happiness.

Which is what I feared and why i started the 2014 Salary cap and overpayment projections thread. Calgary is so desperate for a good young player to help turn their team around that now you see the deal they offered. Colorado should wait 7 days and take the 1st round picks from Calgary. the Flames may have just enough cap space to give O'Reilly this contract for 2 years and told him since they have the room, to lure them in they'll pay now and keep him slightly lower later.

We're being cheated as fans as well seeing Dats wasted on that tampon line. Lose the plugs and give him Tatar and hopefully Flip roids up and plays tonight. And after last nights s*** show from the refs, I hope the boys come out with a big ass chip on their shoulder and take it out 110% on the Sharts. Kronwall Pavelski please. I hate that rat bastard. God i'm still super pissed from last night!

Not true. All 3 guys signed before the age of 35 so when they retire, their cap hit disappears from the books. Not like Pronger in Philly . I just hope that the guys we have contracts expiring on this year, we let go and try to get good depth guys like Scuderi. Not sure there's any spots open on forward or D, but hey, there's always GR for guys who don't measure up. Sproul and Ouellet will likely be the top unit there next season and hopefully only there for 1 year.

At this point, I would not even consider trading Franzen for Weiss if i was Holland. Unless they gave us their 2nd round pick as well at least. Franzen was playing really good from game 3 on until his injury.
