Steve Yzerman to step down as GM for TBL. Will serve in "Advisory Role".
anthonyn66 replied to kliq's topic in General
Maybe Illitch gave Yzerman a call after Holland offered Jokinen the PTO -
Zadina + the Tatar trade have handed Ken Holland's legacy a lifeline

Only reason I'm ok with this is because our reach picks in the second round have actually turned out decent so far, Bert and Givani Smith come to mind

9 looking like a lucky pick, hopefully I didn't jinx it. Even in the awful 2012 draft it was a good pick. When it comes to immediate impact, only players that come to mind being drafted after 9 are Chychrun, Pastrnak, and Fowler. Come to think of it the Fowler situation is the dream situation for us. That year, Anaheim missed out on a playoff spot, Fowler (incredibly) dropped 7-8 spots for them to draft, and Anaheim gets back in the playoffs with his help. Wings miss out on a playoff spot, Liljegren drops to the Wings draft position, and we make the playoffs as he's slotted into a 3/4 spot.

Remember that year when we were something like 0-10 in shootouts? So happy to have shaken that off, hopefully it's Toronto that's taken that from us.

Gerard Gallant was doomed from the start of the season with the management change, their differences in approach (to my understanding new management wanted to run via analytics) and injuries to rub salt in the wound.

Smith looked good on that goal -
10/13 GDT : at Tampa Bay Lighting 6, Red Wings 4
anthonyn66 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in 2016-17
If Detroit manages to stay competitive we'll be calling Toronto a big rival again soon. Considering the history I think that's pretty exciting. -
Let's try and remember that the original Euro twins took time to have a major impact in the playoffs as well. Zetterberg wasn't an impact player in the playoffs until 05-06 (3rd season), Datsyuk 07 (6th season). There's definitely a learning curve in the playoffs.

Lebda Leino Emdog Commodore Avery Glendening, Kindl with the hon. mentions -
Should any of #91, #13, #40, #30 be retired? Poll/Discussion

I would argue that Fedorov was generational. One of the Russians who paved the way for others with his defect, one of the best 2-way players and skaters ever, key piece of the Red Wings' dynasty. -
Datsyuk Announcement to Officially Leave NHL

SKA St. Petersburg has our prospect, Kadeykin. Hope some of Datsyuks magic rubs off! -

Smith's been the only noticeably good dman out there. Let's feed off of this -

The difference between our PP and theirs is astounding -

The fact that AA is only on the ice like 3 times a period is a digrace -

Howard's position has been awful we're lucky it isn't 5-2 -

That last PP was the worst PP I've seen in my entire life (that didn't give up a shorty) -

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but besides Edzo I don't think they're biased against us at all... I don't think Pierre or Chris even have favourite teams lol -
You think Pavel wants to play for Russia at the WC's at home?

I think I speak for many when I say that Schenn is not the answer to our defensive struggles...

GDT 2/21 GDT : Red Wings at New York Rangers, 7:00 EST
anthonyn66 replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in General
In the final minutes he stopped a penalty shot and a 2-0, we had no business getting that point. Those are the kinds of headlines that come from guys like Price, Holtby, or Rask. Elite performance to me. -

Never, never, never go for the passer.... as soon as Smith skated towards the guy I knew we were toast. They teach this before Atom hockey that's just so embarrassing. -
When you're trading for any rental, you've gotta wonder whether or not that's the missing piece that'll take us to the cup. I think we're more than a d-man away from winning the cup. Yes, he fills our 1D spot we so desperately need, but right now we're having some serious scoring issues as well. Something that I worry about is this: we're in a good position to make the playoffs, but is there a single team in the East that's scared of us? Who sees us as an unfavourable match-up?
