Haha. Fail.

Currently the main centers for the Red Wings are: Datsyuk Zetterberg Filppula Modano Helm Abdelkader And we've seen these guys play stopgap center in the past: Franzen Cleary Miller So... In reality, with the way that trends are right now with Babs and the coaches, if Hudler were to play center then that would mean the Wings would have an amount of injuries we can't even possibly imagine because it's way too painful. Therefore, I don't think that's something we want to see. ... In regards to the bolded part... Are you trying to say that being a center on the Red Wings involves playing solid defense too? Noo... You're crazy. Hudler as a center is a good idea because he's an excellent playmaker with good hockey sense in the offensive zone. On offense, it really is a decent idea. But I mean, skating ability to not only backcheck but also have the ability to adjust and rotate position wise along with defensive awareness of the opposing players around you as well as the ability to make smart defensive decisions is NOT really all that important... What the hell are you smoking over there? Let's just focus way more on offense. It's okay if a center is below average defensively on the Red Wings. It's not like they believe in having solid two way centers on scoring lines... Right? Come on... But hey... Did you guys know that Gretzky played center? And he was small and slow just like Hudler? If Gretzky can do it then Hudler can, for sure. You guys don't know what you're missing. And did you guys know that Hudler has played center in his career, especially when he was with the Grand Rapids Griffins? What sucks is that some crazy lunatics out there argue that the NHL is different than the AHL. I mean, what the hell are they thinking? So the NHL is a more difficult league than the AHL??? Says who??? Jeez... Crazy people, you know? The AHL and the NHL are the same, end of story. In conclusion, Hudler should be a center. And trust me... We won't be ripping on him here endlessly on LGW for either having to play too defensively because he needs to overcompensate for being "too slow" or having to sacrifice a lot of defense in order to have points to justify his salary. It just won't happen. I'm right and you all know it and I'm not a stubborn moron at all.

By the way, awesome job Wings fans last night with the loud cheer when Datsyuk first touched the puck. Just awesome.

He was pretty good last night against NYR. Hopefully he can be even better next game. We've seen before how a player comes back with so much adrenaline that they can play well but then sputter out in the next game.

Looking at that map I'm not really sure what states would appreciate a new team.

Norris Trophy winner.

Awful isn't a good enough word to describe their play tonight. Awful to me technically means that you are in awe because of something regardless of whether or not it's good or bad. I feel like we should use a word that leaves no doubt as to how bad it really was, hehe.

Well, I mean, the media is supposed to showcase teams and the Wings don't really need that much promotion or exposure.

Well they don't know that yet. Don't celebrate too early now.

Ericsson and Kindl... The future looks... Bright?

By "lazy floating piece of s***" do you mean offensively skilled players who don't show enough of a work ethic and aren't good defensively?

Well his scouting report does say that he lacks hockey sense.

From what you said alone, to me, that's what this is all about because everything else you listed can describe SO MANY other players in the league. So... You basically don't like him because he's ugly?

They're wondering if Cooke is a dirty player??? How is it still a question?

Not a problem. I'm surprised at myself because I usually don't participate in the GDTs. I usually feel too edgy to watch and post at the same time. Today not so much for some reason.

Effort and work ethic. Took the puck to the net and banged in his own rebound.

Cooke and Pronger I get. Why Malkin?

What the hell is up with Kindl?!?!?!

Maybe Babcock needs to unite them more by giving them something to hate together.

That's what she said?

Oh dear... Forgive him Hockey Gods for he know not he does. Please don't injure anymore Red Wings.

Kronwall seems to struggle really badly with playing on the right side.

EDIT: Kinda scary, hehe.
