Can't blame auto correct it's close.

It's called hockey, every team in the league does it. The Wings are just better. No need to be jealous.

Another ass complaining about subtle interference. f*** off.

A couple better shifts, gotta keep it going.

I'm soooo happy Pierre knows the capital of Belarus.

Clearly the studio guys are high.

With that contract Toronto would be lucky to give Phanuef away.

Nvm

I'd think Zid will need a few games to get comfortable. It sounded like Eddie was pulling teeth when he called the Red Wings a storied franchise. He could barely get it out.

Do we really need a commercial with 49 seconds to go?

Ref is better off keeping his mouth shut in that case.

It wasn't close to diving, it was diving Pierre!

All he needs is his hat, and he'll look exactly like Mr.Peanut.

Joke of a penalty.

That was a clear trip.

Wings need to harness the power of the peanut.

As am I. However I'd like to see z play with Gus, and Pav play with Cole. Anyone care to guess how long it will take Babs to mix up the lines and drop Jurco lower?

Tough break. Any word on the severity of the injuries?

Good first test for the new guys. Really excited to see Cole in the Winged wheel. I was disappointed when Holland didn't sign him a few years back, I've been a fan of his for a long time.

I agree but the wings are playoff bound and unlike last year don't have the injuries which would allow these guys to develop at the NHL level.

His biggest asset is his ability to score( at AHL level) but if like you're saying he's not prepared to shoot the puck on the power play and he can't beat NHL defenseman what is the use in having him on the team at the current moment? When you're unprepared and you take the shot anyway,you rarely know where the shot will end up. He also as you mentioned hasn't learned how to properly beat NHL players with his shot, a lot of times his shot goes straight at the defenseman, completely wide of the goal,or right at the goalie. The game is moving too fast for him. I agree that we have better options at the moment. Which is why I don't think there's anything wrong with sending a young kid back down to the minors to practice on the things that he realized he was doing wrong and the NHL level. Fyi: "poor shot quality" as you put it, goes to his ability to recognize a shooting situation and getting off a good shot on target. Which he hasn't learned to do yet.

He most likely has more time to shoot in GR,and rushes at the NHL which causes him to shoot poorly. So he needs to work on his aim/poise.

Most important thing he has to get better at is his aim. Go to GR and work on it and he'll get another chance to impress next year.

Damn, I leave the board for an hour and the place has gone bat s*** crazy. THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!
