    9/26 Pre-season GDT: New York Rangers at Red Wings

    Well these NY announcers are certainly nice when talking about the Red Wings.

    Helm's speed

    I remember that quote. I wonder how he defines best skater. He obviously doesn't count those relatively stationary moments where Fil seems to lose his balance a lot. But I'm not sure Helm is clearly faster than Fil. Because Helm gets to play less minutes he can afford to go full blast when he's out there. At least, moreso than Filppula. Babs should make those two play a "suicide" contest or something.

    Who will be the whipping boys for '10-'11?

    Sigh... Looks like Ericsson is the early #1 candidate.

    Tonights line-up against Chicago

    Carmen probably cried to his mommy like his idol.

    9/25 Pre-season GDT: Red Wings at Chicago Blackhawks

    What is Babcock doing to this group? Setting them up to lose? Is this like the group in which he wants to test their mental toughness or something?

    Tonights line-up against Chicago

    Ugh... Stuart and Ericsson together... Wasn't that a terrible lineup last year? I don't get why Babs is pushing that one. Hopefully they play well though and prove me wrong.

    Euro Twins versus Sedin Twins

    Euro Twins versus Sedin Twins Game of 2-on-2 three bar. You have to hit each post and the crossbar. Just Datsyuk and Zetterberg versus Henrik and Daniel Sedin. Full ice surface. Who wins?

    Jan Mursak/ Merged

    Cory Emmerton, Jan Mursak impress Mike Babcock in Red Wings' 3-2 preseason win over Chicago http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2010/09/henrik_zetterbergs_goal_assist.html DETROIT -- Having played together so often, it doesn't take Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg long to mesh. Their line, which includes Tomas Holmstrom, accounted for two goals Friday as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Chicago Blackhawks, 3-2, in an exhibition game at Joe Louis Arena. But the line that impressed Red Wings coach Mike Babcock the most featured three young players who will return to the Grand Rapids Griffins by the end of the preseason. Cory Emmerton was strong at both ends of the ice, generating some scoring chances, holding onto the puck and doing a good job on the penalty kill. He assisted on a goal by Jan Mursak, who, along with Jordan Owens, used his speed to apply pressure on the Blackhawks defense. "I thought Cory Emmerton and (Mursak) were fantastic today,'' Babcock said. "Both look like they're going to play and really push our guys, which is a great thing.'' Babcock likened the young forwards to longtime grinders Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby, seeing them as future replacement parts. "Emmerton has good skill and good vision and sees what's going on out there. And Mursak plays with a lot of speed,'' Babcock said. "They had their team in trouble tonight just with forechecking and pressure.'' Mursak opened the scoring at 2:12 of the first period by firing in the rebound of Emmerton's shot. "I think Cory Emmerton did a good job shooting for the rebound, and I was in the right place at the right time and put it in,'' Mursak said. "I think we played pretty well together. We were skating good, creating some offense and playing decent in our defensive zone.'' Emmerton said he hasn't played with Mursak and Owens in Grand Rapids but expects they might be on the same line this season. "Before the game, we talked. We just wanted to play simple, play structured, get pucks on net and be responsible, and I think we used our speed and shot the puck when we had a chance,'' Emmerton said. "It would be a very good line, (with) a lot of speed, and our chemistry seems to be pretty good. We know where each other is going to go and what they're going to do and what we expect.''

    Hit on Franzen worthy of suspension

    Some good memories I have of Brooks Orpik are that "incredible" shift where he had like 5 or 6 hits in a row but the Wings still had the puck.

    Psh... They can say whatever they want. They have Matt Cooke on their team. That guy is an embarrassment not just to the game but to humanity as well. And again, we're talking about a city that showed overwhelming support for a friggin rapist.
