but keep that in mind that all is speculation here. take it easy.

do you throw names like shanahan or yzerman here ( for commissioner job) only because of name recognition?

ppl here are overreacting.

where are those Lebda bashers ??? Is it LGW or not???

A win is a win. That is all what matters.

1. trade is not "throw away scrubs", somebody must want them...dont treat other GMs like fools, fans 2. Red Wings is not the center of the universe, for good players there is tough competition. 3. when something did not happen it does not mean that GM did not try. It irritates me that somebody must remind here very basic stuff. Also, keep that in mind that next season deals depend on decision by Lidström. Practically Holland can't make any moves before Lidström has made up his mind.

take it easy, folks. Bettman ONLY says that Vancouver Olympics was easy decision to make.

It is called "the routine". they have never been in position where they have to fight for points to get 8th seed. Only reasonable wake up call IMO is missing the POs.

Typical LGW.

Red Wings is simply unlucky - the age is catching and at the same time team suffers unusual amount of injuries.

all those Williams-es are not worth even picks. Cap space era means that picks are actually valuable.

Osgood has himself played out of the roster. yeah, sometimes vets can afford slow starts but in this time Osgood miscalculated and it is too late for him. Team simply cant afford experiments anymore.

backup so far has played pretty poorly and this team desperately needs points so it is understandable why head coach did not take risks.

Shootouts are lucky stuff. No need conspiratory theories here.

where is May for enforcing duty when you need him!?!?

you're forgeting that Bowman had practically unlimited amount of players, 4th liners during his day are 1 or 2nd liners today.... Babs OTHOH has to work under limitations of salary cap. That's why we're seeing GR players in Red Wings in case of injuries. I can bet that Bowman did not have to spend a millisecond on thought "who from Grand Rapids?" We're talking of different eras and possibilities here. They are incomparable.

I think most of the rant comes from the fact that Wings' fans are so spoiled with success. therefore losing is like a tragic event - oh why oh why why we did not see "epic last man standing battle". In reality, half of the league loses every day so there is nothing spectacular. Losing is very common result in NHL. Better get used with this side too.

there is no more pathetic thing than "goon up" in the already lost game. Wings team have been treated in the same way: Red Wings' players did not lost their confidence, opponents gain neither "respect" nor confidence when opponents did try to um... "send a message" Don't fool yourselves here.

keep that in mind that this is 2 weeks AT LEAST, read: a month.

the thread "LGW SUCKS!" sucks

there is no saviours from grand rapids....and pleas no" that X from GR is better than Lebda or meech", then why those arguably "better players" are not able to beat "sucking players" during training camp for roster spot? this current roster is on the way of missing POs, healthy roster has a chance in POs...

I have only one question: has Howard solidified his spot?

therefore there is no point to create special threads dedicated to bashing Bertuzzi.

I dont think that by that time when everyone is healthy, PO spot is guaranteed...
