QFT. getting the secondary assist means just as much as getting the primary. it just means he was part of the play and contributed to scoring.

yeah, i realized that, but set it a little lower to factor in possible injuries or slump streaks. 75 would be fantastic, but went with the more realistic number 60, which is by no means bad! i agree with your second part, sammy is a great player for his role and what we need of him. sometimes i dont agree with him on the point on the PP, but like you said, he definitely gets his own solid points, not too many of them have down low dirty bangers, his backhand has proven wicked this year, and his ability to carry and protect the puck are big to his game. pure props to sammy.

way to go pasha!! i love ya, ya ugly russian!! if he keeps up his normal consistency, he could hit 500 points this year ps. do playoff points count towards total career totals?

thanks man, i appreciate it!

cool man, nice GDT. are you a mod?? if so, i was wondering if you could change the score on the thread title like they do in main discussion. anyways, good to see the griffs win last night against a good team. i hope larsson is shaping up to be what he need him to be. GO GRIFFS!!

this should be one hell of a game. im gonna go with wings 4-2. take it to em, boys!!

lilja slammed his head into the side !!

good analysis

i have grown far too attached to those guys to let them go. they are, to me, the essence and definition of the redwings

ok so before anyone gets pissed and goes DUDE WE STILL HAVE A GREAT RECORD AND CANT WIN EM ALL, or says BEAT IT BANDWAGON FAN, which i am not, that game was ******* weak tonight. we had bad, bad positioning, got beat to the puck almost all night, won no battles along the boards. franzens sick goal was our only sign of life, besides the first 10 minutes which i thought we came out good. terrible game boys, rest up (they looked hella tired) and focus on friday, our first taste of the central.

:caution:

LETS GO RED WINGS so loud you can hear it at the joe. 4-1 (helm gets one of them)

who knew this would cause such a stink?? didnt see that coming for sure !! anyways im glad helm is up, he must have earned a chance to play or i dont think he'd be up here. looking forward to watching him!

him and mccarty are gonna have to have round 3

stempniak had a scoring touch against us last year, glad we wont have to see him as much !

how can you call versus the equivalent of "the ocho"? they were OLN to start.. and espn frequently plays poker (that aint no sport), spelling bees, and worlds strongest man.

yeah but being the backup, he had almost nothing to do with the loss

are we talkiing about the same person?

did you watch 4-0 rout of the oilers on monday?

i thought the first period was great, made the flames chase the puck all over

lol at the announcer saying Z won selke year before dats

they definitely lose their cool when they get down on the scoreboard. that was one of the keys to us defeating them in 07 playoffs. once we scored (especially when we tallied the first one) they went nuts. remember the goalie that got the major penalty? worst sportsmanship ive ever seen. i hope the wings can draw them into some stupid penalties tonight. also watch for bertuzzi to do something scuzzy, but mark my words, if the flames do something cheap, there will be some heavy retaliation. 4-1 wings

i agree with you EVA, hudler has been beastly with his limited TOI. but you know his showing up last night has gotta mean something to babcock. i like to think that babcock is a coach that gives you an inch and expects you take a mile. hudler definitely took a mile last night. he had great positioning on that first goal, and great will and vision on the second. i hope he gets more time, he has earned it.

shoulda been against the pens, just to bring up painful memories
