Yeah, this kid is crazy fast. I wish he could have scored a bit more while up with the big club, but he had a lot of chances and easily could have had a few more points. He always played with fire and speed, reminded me a bit of Helm a couple years ago.

If that's all it takes to get Happy going, lets schedule a pre-season fishing trip for the boys every year.

Yeah, I kinda feel for you. Injuries suck when they pile on. Pretty awesome though that you guys have still been winning fairly regularly.

Great, now he's gonna be exhausted for tonight's game for reeling in a fish!

I'll trade Jirterri Filpudler and Jaclan Salndl for one Ryan Kesler.

That Ohlund hit was a thing of beauty, but I remember just CRINGING when it happened. The second it occurred I just KNEW that Z would be injured, especially given all the other injuries at the time. I think it made him a better player, now he knows to keep his head up against his own countrymen! I already said it in this thread, but I'll say it again: LGW!!!! PS. Thanks for the GDT as always, Hockeytown.

While it'd be nice to have a full D lineup for once, nothing wrong with staying home and taking care of Rusty Jr. Just hope Kindl can his crap together for one night.

Dallas has gone 2-7-1 over their last 10 and are on a three game losing streak. With the West being as close as it is, they are quickly becoming one of the teams most likely to miss out. Seems like in the span of about a week they went from division leader to potential deadline seller. No complaints here, I don't mind seeing the Stars miss out, so long as it doesn't make room for the Hawks.

Aaaand now I gotta put that in the DVD player. The UNedited version, obviously. Stuart back? LGW

One of the biggest rival coaches of the Wings, how is it so inconceivable that he isn't my favorite? Didn't mean it on a personal level. Also, the Red Wings have defeated Coach Q FAAAAAAAR more times than his teams have beaten us. Just saying. Seems to be that he's doing fine. Good news.

A lot of him must have been at that recent visit.

One of my least favorite coaches of one of my least favorite teams... but this kind of news is always worrying. Hopefully it was just a scare and he will be back on the bench soon. Best wishes Joel.

I agree. That is a bit of an overpayment. I don't think he would get that much on the open market. Good for him though, hopefully Atlanta can keep building a strong contending team.

Draper > Maltby. See: Stats.

Lol at Babs comment about Salei.

You're gonna get a lot of temporarily angry fans clicking on this thread before they read your edit. I already had three solid points against Kindl I was ready to post before the page fully loaded lol. So happy Stuart will be back. Like GMR said, if Stuart being back and finally having a full defense lineup doesn't make our team improve defensively, I would still like to see a change made. The play we saw last week simply won't fly in April.

You are mistaken. Draper had an excellent season last year, and was on our only consistent line with Helm and Eaves, and ended up 8th on our team in scoring out of the forwards. This year he is doing more of the same thing. Perhaps you are thinking of 08-09 when he had the team's worst +/-. The year before that during the cup run he was a beast again though. I'd take Draper back, but I don't want to lose any promising prospects just to make room for him on a 1 year deal.

I didn't quite see that coming from Milbury.... but anything in regards to "having discipline" coming from his mouth just makes me . I think they are correct in saying that if pointless brawls like this continue in the league, it could eventually lead to the removal of fighting all together. I don't want that.

Kind of makes you wonder why the hell they were out there the whole time. I swear I didn't see Lidstrom until about 5 minutes in. We got completely outworked in our own end in that period. They almost scored like 4 wrap-around goals on us. Timmy has been giving up rebounds so we need to capitalize on that. This game is so winnable, but the defense really needs to get it together. Too many unforced errors and I'm sick of it.

Anyone else getting REALLY sick of these unforced behind the back no-look passes? It always looks neat when it works, but honestly what is the point? So unnecessary.

Why does it feel like the ONLY defensemen getting any minutes is freaking Kindl?

Ain't looking good for that entire team at this point.

Haven't been paying too much attention to the Stars other than what they do in the standings. Have they been hit by a lot of injuries lately? Why are they bringing JW in now? Just curious.

Yeah, can't wait for the other parts. Interesting to read.
