I Agree.. 100%..

I think Ellis was due after the game against Anaheim cuz he was about the only Red Wings player I was impressed with after that game..

Wooo.. A Bit Of A Sneaky Goal.. lol

Hooking... wtf..

Its about time someone whooped his ass..

I Agree.. I believe he actually said that Detroit could not skate with San Jose.. Which I think may be just a little bit of a biased statement..

Pretty much my favourite part of the game so far..

See now we got them frustrated.. that was the plan all along.. lol

Dammit..

WOOOO!

Wooo.. take that Kronwall haters.. lol

Well I have a feeling that period could have been a lot worse for us.. so lets hope we can manage.. oh.. about 15 more shots this period..

Well if that is indeed the case I dont see why everyone is so pissed.. Judging by that picture I would say Grigs has literally been working his ass off to get in game shape..

Hmm.. 4-1 Wings seems about right..

I havent seen a lot of Griggs but I have seen enough to know that everyone saying he is lazy and doesnt have any motivation obviously have very little sense. Maybe he is going to be a flop, there is no way for us to know for sure what he can do. So what he hasnt played at an all star level in his first few games and im not going to use his accident to defend him. In my mind he proved how much he wants to play for Detroit by moving far away from his home and then realising he wasnt likely to make the team out of the pre season he dropped his gloves and fought for it. Who cares about the hype. I seriously dont think he will be going back to Russia this year or next year whether or not he ends up on the main roster at all this season. His conditioning will improve playing in GR and when he is in NHL condition I expect him to make an impact in the NHL.

Unfortunatley I have taken a long hard look at those goals and maybe I am being hard on Dom because Dom falling on his ass is what you expect when you have Dom in net. But watching the goals that go in as a result of his flopping around makes me think it would be great to have a bit of a more conventional goalie in net. I have nothing against Dom because he did take us withing 2 games of the Finals but I cant help but think if he has more than 20 shots on him in a game you're asking for trouble. If you look at a lot of Doms saves in a 15 shot game id say a majority of them are because the other teams player couldnt get the puck up over the snow angel. And just so everyone knows Dom's not so amazing play against Anaheim in the playoffs did not piss me off nearly as much as Lilja's amazing give away.. But it doesn't really matter what any of us think because in the end it will be Dom as the #1 goalie this year in Detroit and hopefully this is just a cold streak. I guess we will see where Dom really stands when he starts against Phoenix..

Well im sorry for being honest.. I will admit last season he was great.. and the first round and a half of the playoffs he was good but by the time Anaheim was done with him I had to close my eyes everytime they took a shot because I got tired of Dom falling on his ass and making the save only to be completely out of position allowing an easy tap in.. And dont call me a dumbass because I am not saying that losing in the Playoffs was Doms fault.. I mean in the end it was a series of events that lead to Anaheim winning. I am just saying Dom should have retired and if there is going to be a goalie controversy in Detroit it should be Howard and Osgood. Now you can bash me all you want because I dont care.. I am a Detroit Red Wings fan and I always will be but that doesn't mean I have to agree with everything that any other fan would think.

Mike Babcock has announced that Osgood will get the start against San Jose because of the fact that he has played better than Hasek. And just for the record I think Dom should have just retired after being HORRIBLE in the playoffs. But instead I have to sit here and watch him throw away games and valuable points. Oh well.. Detroit will win the cup this year with or without Hasek.
