    Ericsson to be paired by Lidstrom

    Ericsson can obviously perform, but he just needs the confidence to do so. This is obviously a move to make him more confident, and thus a better player. It's not permanent, so I like the move.

    Ritola will be traded or waived

    I think we're going to regret this move eventually. Miller is awesome, but I think Ritola still has 2nd line potential while with Miller I think what we see is what we get. Either way we get an awesome player though. Hopefully Miller proves me wrong. And Ritola is a way cooler last name than Miller.

    Mike Illitch to buy the Detroit Pistons

    Sharing an arena with Basketball would suck so much. I would seriously hate it.

    10/3 Pre-season GDT: Pittsburgh Penguins at Red Wings

    I don't think it's a coincidence that mindfly is back to bitching right when we lose our minus ratings.

    Oh, I didn't even realize they scored a third goal. =/ I Fast forwarded through the last minute of the first. Oh well. You see, this post is funny because it really doesn't mean anything. And there you go, Ozzie over committing again.

    10/3 Pre-season GDT: Pittsburgh Penguins at Red Wings

    The problem is Franzen isn't that good at skating with or handling the puck, and Filppula can't do all the work. Cleary or Hudler will definitely be moving to replace Bert soon. I'd bet $20 that Datsyuk's goal was a planned play. I don't think we've played bad. The 2nd goals was because Osgood always overcommits, and the first you can't blame on anyone. Plus we're getting chances on the other side of the rink.

    10/2 Pre-season GDT: Red Wings at Toronto Maple Leafs

    I think we're going to lose.

    Valtteri Filppula appreciation

    I believe he's got 1 goal and 3 assists in 4 games this preseason.

    Valtteri Filppula appreciation

    Even more evidence of my point. People act like Filppula has had endless opportunity to score 70 points. He hasn't. When he has had the opportunity, he has shown he can produce. Looks at his playoff totals the past 2 years. Before getting injured in the second round last year he had 7 points in 7 games in the first round. I could go on, but it would be beating a dead horse.

    This team is so ******* deep.

    10/1 Pre-season GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs at Red Wings

    I saw Hudler Flip Franzen out, so I'm guessing that.

    Valtteri Filppula appreciation

    No. Last year was the only year he started on on the second line and then he got injured for a third of a season. 08/09 might have been but Hossa put him down the depth chart, and the year before that you couldn't have expected him breaking out his second year in the league. So that's pretty much just an excuse people use against Filppula when they really don't look at the facts.

    Their goalie needs a bit of work.

    Sucks that the NHL Network is blacked out in Michigan, so I can't watch in HD.

    I believe I also saw that this game will be on NHL Network in HD.

    Valtteri Filppula appreciation

    http://video.redwings.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=-7&id=76830 Babcock: "Fil's been great, the other two guys gotta get going" It's only the pre-season, but Filppula looks so good right now. He oozes confidence with the puck, and is making things happen. This will be his year. 25-30 goals, 75+ points (if he and Franzen stays healthy). Maybe more. Bank on it.

    Sounds normal to me.

    Is there a stream at all? I guess the NHL thinks the Islanders vs Flyers games is more interesting than 2 original 6 teams. Good call.

    Cleary is looking really good so far this "season".

    If this was a real game I'd be so pissed right now.

    This stupid ******* league needs to clarify the rules. Is having skates in the blue illegal or something?
