I think Eaves will take a seat, Babs isn't breaking up the kids line.

My thought has always been that the officiating in the NHL is worse then other sports because Hockey isn't as popular there for it isn't shown on TV as much which leads to less outrage over bad calls (outside the Hockey community that is). And with less bad press regarding the officiating the NHL is not in a hurry to make changes. If the NHL had the popularity of the NFL- where every bad call is magnified, shown endlessly on ESPN, and talked about for days then I bet we would see changes come quick.

How about the Brat Pack.

With the way that sounds the line should be Sammy, Cleary, and Bert.

Justice League?

The Breakfast Club Line. Or BCL for short.

It has nothing to do with sportsmanship, I'm a fan not a player. But I'll say it this way I hope he has a good Olympics and gains experience but that the US team still wins. I'm with you I absolutely love the Olympics. But as happy as I am for our Swedes I still can't root for Sweden unless of course the US team is out. Then: Let's go Swedes.

They look lifeless out there, will someone please give them a ******* energy drink during intermission.

Damn it, they couldn't have announced it next week? The possibility of an Olympic spot really lit a fire under him. Would have been nice if the carrot was dangled in front of him for a couple more games. But putting that aside he has been money and definitely deserves to go. Too bad he is not US born and I can't wish him good luck. Just come back healthy.

I miss the days when the Wings were one of the top teams on face offs. We should start the get Draper out of retirement petition.

Dude, what the hell are you talking about? You clearly misunderstood what I wrote, you should re-read it. But In case you still don't get it let me spell it out for you clearly. What I meant was that officiating has been bad for a long time and we as fans should just get used to it and not complain about every single call. And since the refs are usually bad for both sides the Wings should try and take advantage when the refs blow a call in their favor. Now I realize the first couple sentences make me sound like a sarcastic prick but I'm just answering your misplaced sarcasm with some of my own. Sorry.

Refereeing has been bad since the lock out, but blaming our bad defense on the refs is a poor excuse. I don't delude myself into believing that the refs will suddenly become good, we should resign our self's to the fact that this is the way games are going to be refereed and hope that when the other team gets a bad call against them that we can capitalize on it.

quote name="kylee" post="2479983" timestamp="1391365596"] Howard is the reason it's not 6-1 right now. No he really isn't. The defense has been porous but let's not make it seem like Howard has had a great game either

The second and third goals were too soft, Babs needs to pull Howard-just not his day.

Ridiculous!

Alfie really needs a passer like Pav to play with. He's just not as dangerous without a good passer. But I agree, third line is way too low for him he should be playing with Z.

I was just going to say Engblom. I hate to say it but I would rather listen to Pierre over Engblom any day.

I love sunday morning games. I get to watch hockey plus have a full Sunday, and the Super Bowls is today. So an awesome sports day.

Lets make it 2 on Sunday.

It'll be similar to The Los Angelos Angels of Anaheim... god that sounds stupid.

They can be the USA Coyotes and still nobody would go watch them.

If Babs ever does get replaced or decides to leave, I believe it will be Jeff Blashill who would replace him.

Even though I rag on the guy, I've always been a fan. Feel bad for him.

I say trade them all, trade them while we still can at least before the Zombie apocalypse hits. Did you guys see Atlanta? We all know it's coming.

While I have no problem being corrected when I make a mistake, I do take offense when someone that decides to correct another person also makes a grammer mistake during their correction. It should be: "I do have a few pet peeves". You can call that my pet peeve.
