Man, I have NO faith in Howard in the shootout. He gets schooled regularly. Can we get a backup who specializes in shootouts and play him in the shootouts?

Wow, dont see THAT often!!

Sorry but they had this game locked down and let the Ducks up. Gotta learn to keep them down and not get up.

Curly fries!

One more in regulation to make it all right again....

As MIck would say, Bingo, Bango!

O M G

Rebound control.

#!6 > #91

IMO he's not needed here. We have capable young goalies and when Jimmy is healthy, it's not worth pushing them back in line. Let Mrazek be the backup. I thought re-signing him was a mistake in the first place.

I was watching the HOF induction ceremony last night and they were going over Forsberg's stats, and I figured Sergei's stats are pretty similar. Stanley Cups, yep. Multiple. Hart Trophy, yep. Scoring title, yep. I don't know about his Olympic or international stats but could there be a case for Sergei getting in the HOF now that Forsberg is in?

I always thought Leddy was a player that's ready to bloom, though I'd like to see him here, I wish him luck with the Isles. Good move for him, he didn't have room to grow in Chicago.

Disgusting as it is, he will be on the roster and wearing the A on his sweater. And more than likely on the power play.

I watched a little of this game, and there is just something missing. They want Hockeytown to get all fired up for the Wings season starting, but there just is nothing new or exciting about it. And Dan Cleary is skating around out there wearing #17 and with an A on his sweater. I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

I hate the thought of anyone reigning in a wild stallion, there are too few of them in the world. Put a defensive forward on his line and let Ovi pile 'em up.

Just re-sign everyone we had last year. It was a great team, we got screwed, and you'll see....we'll be healthy...you'll all see what a real genius I was....<Holland>

This is just...........I mean....................@&@*#^&&$^&$*&@*&_&@#^_)@^#_$^@#^$_)!@^#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I get some of what they are smoking? I....I just can't fathom this was their best option, ever, on any planet and any league. I'm pissed off and angry and want to go down there and shake someone and yell "SNAP OUT OF IT, MAN!!!!!"

I'm not trying to turn this into a "City" topic but I think that is something that cannot totally been ruled out. We live here, we know better. But what has the national media done? Very superficial headlines, Anthony Bourdain's special about the crumbling city, for someone out of town and they only get headlines about Detroit and they hear "the biggest city ever to declare bankruptcy", Kwame trial, oldest building in the NHL things like that, makes the city look bad. I know there are people rebuilding the city block by block and we have a new mayor and a new arena planned and reasons to be optimistic, but to an outsider considering a move here with his family, he doesn't know how lush the suburbs are that he will be moving his family to, he doesn't know about the great golf course right down the street from his house, he just sees the thing on the news that says Detroit is bankrupt and the Big 3 need bailing out and like it or not, it puts a negative light on the city. Like I said, we live here, we know better. But I recently turned down a promotion that would have put me in Oakland, CA. Because on the news and reality shows they showed a lot of violence and gang warfare there and I said, I don't think so. And this is coming from someone from DETROIT since 1983! Perception is sometimes stronger than reality.

There's no need to work on the defense, we already signed a huge free agent. Way to go Kenny, by the way. Go ahead and sign another one.

It all depends on what you expect. If you expect the Red Wings to be equal or worse than the Minnesota Wild, then you're ok. (actually the Wild was better than them last year.) If you hope for them to win the Stanley Cup or go to the Finals, then you're disappointed. We saw this team barely make the playoffs last year, I can't expect there to be a dramatic improvement with the same ingredients.

"I don't know why they don't want to come here." = Ken Holland, July 1, 2014 Is he talking about free agents or Joe Louis Arena in October and November?

Is it July 1 or April 1? Please tell me this is a joke.

Putting for birdie on the par 5 15th.

Soccer is more exciting than free agent day in Detroit. At least in soccer, there is a CHANCE your team is going to score. Happy July 1, everybody.

I heard he also got a no trade clause.
