    3/2 GDT: Red Wings 5 @ Blues 0

    Concussions don't generally show up, but it's a sign that there's nothing serious wrong.

    Good feeling in his limbs + negative CT and other tests = okay Hossa. Sore, but okay.

    3/2 GDT: Red Wings 5 @ Blues 0

    Simple, from the derivation... Eriksson would be simply a contraction of Erik's son. Pretty common in Scandinavian countries to have patronymics, and exclusively those in Iceland- son of Erik would be Eriksson, daughter of Erik would be Eriksdottir, with the o having an umlaut.

    Any news on #81?
  5. The problem with that would be...?

    Snap out of it guys, I'll be there next Saturday!

    2/28 GDT: Red Wings 0 at Predators 8

    Dear God, 5 goals on 13 shots? I could do better than that! I still believe. Go get 'em, Wings. Make a game of it.
  8. Two things. 1. I'd wager a significant sum that there isn't a Western Conference team that could beat Detroit 4 of 7. 2. Where are the Blackhawks?

    The person below me game...

    Huzzah. Let the strong franchises thrive and the weak either live or die. TPBM is still creeped out by the original Thriller video.

    2/27 GDT: Kings 1 at Red Wings 2

    Wings 5-1, even with Ozzie in net. He'll improve from here.

    Leino

    Actually, with Hudler coming on and Leino playing like an absolute beast, I feel much better about maybe losing Franzen. Leino has better puck sense, and they can use some of Franzen's potential contract for Conklin.

    New Wings prospect ranks

    Leino looks a good bit like Zetterberg and Datsyuk mixed together. If he progresses the way I'll bet he will, he's going to be a star. I've heard very good things about Ericsson, as well- favorable comparisons to a Jiri Fischer, for example. Big, hits, good shooting touch.

    Osgood & Hossa FOR Luongo?

    Burn me as a heretic if you like, but I wouldn't even take a straight Osgood-Luongo trade. Luongo is pretty streaky and has no real playoff experience.

    2/25 GDT: Sharks 1 at Red Wings 4

    Kopecky scratched, Leino in, I'll take Detroit 5-2.

    Ty Conklin - 18th best goalie in the NHL?

    If Holland doesn't lock Conklin up for a while, he's a fool.

    Not at present, though I am going to be grooving to The Young Dubliners and Ceann in a few moments while studying. TPBM hates Mondays.

    Detroit interested in Neil?!

    Could be done. Prorate his salary.

    Howard Recalled; Osgood told to "re-focus"

    Ditch Howard, sign Conk, maybe go looking for a FA goalie to supplement or replace Ozzie next year.
  19. Casey

    2/21 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Wild 5

    I'm not blaming all 4 on Howard, but seriously, he's playing like crap. Poor rebound control, poor positioning. He should have had 2 or 3 of the ones that got by. Call up Larsson. Howard's had his chances in the Wheel the last few seasons, and simply doesn't have it at the NHL level.

    Big Montreal Scandal...

    Is there any further news? Rumors about Price are still swirling on CBS Sportsline, but no confirmation.
  21. Casey

    Statistical Comparisons: '06-'09

    Point given. Conks would still be in the conversation, sitting at 2.33, but Osgood's way off the ball- last season was around a 2.07 and this year at 3.2.
  22. Casey

    Statistical Comparisons: '06-'09

    I agreed until you said that. Conklin's playing as well as either Hasek or Osgood was last year, even discounting the smaller pads. Conk is sitting at 91.1 save percentage, when Oz had a 91.4 and Dom a 90.2. Ozzie's play has slid, but our "backup" goalie is as good as either of last year's.

    Big Montreal Scandal...

    That's it? Weak. Edited to add... I like the cut of your jib, heed316.

    Eklund trade rumor almost makes sense

    I'm not a fan of this deal. I like having Sammy-Huds-Helm as an energy line, and it's done some good things. Considering all three have Cup experience, that could be crucial.
