    Time to sit Ian White

    White is the least of our problems! He has been spotty but man, our issues are much deeper than White

    2/13 GDT : St. Louis Blues 4 at Red Wings 3 (OT)

    Eaves has looked solid tonight after a long sit. Tatar is ready for a permanent spot.....like Clearys!

    Except for the part where Kindl rode him like Tonto. I don't think that's allowed in hockey

    Joakim Andersson Recalled

    Ok, that's one stat but let's look at the rest of his play... Took a silly penalty, is a minus, has three giveaways and no takeaways and no shots on goal. He has potential but he is not NHL ready verses a solid role player who has a wicked wrister, some speed and is very effective on the PK. Eaves was out of the line up with a serious concussion.....give the brother a minute!

    Joakim Andersson Recalled

    I may be in the minority here but I havent been all that impressed with Andersson. For having a big body, he doesnt use it alot. What does he bring to the tabe for this team? I know he is young but he certainly hasnt dazzled. I would prefer Eaves in the line-up

    Ericsson

    I think most people under estimated Big E and in comparison to Lids and Kronner, he became the goat on defense. We now have Kindl and QUINCEY so we all truly know now what bad defense is. I have always liked Ericssons game.....he is just playing up to his potential now
  9. I am going to the game tomorrow and was hoping that Howie would have another day of rest. Curious to see what Andersonn brings to the team. The oil have a good team that can score goals.....I am guessing that is why Jimmy is starting. As for Cleary....nooooo! I wanted to see them reward Tatar ....grrrr
  10. man, this is such a different team without Helmer! Hurry back....we need ya

    Mrazek To Start Tonight

    Ok boys, time to show up and play for this kid. He is the guy the Wings will rely on in the upcoming years! lets go WINGS!

    Tomas Tatar Is Jiri Hudler 2.0

    Really? Looks like we are ranked 3rd in terms of Prospect depth in the NHL but I am surprised they didnt ask for your scouting report since it seems so accurate http://www.hockeyprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1372

    Bottom Six

    A couple of years ago I could fill up my car with 20 bucks......but thats never happening again

    Bottom Six

    It's sad to see because he is a heart and soul guy but I agree with dirty dangles....we can't be sentimental about it....the season is too short to have him waste up a space on the roster. Cleary has to go.

    Bottom Six

    I never thought I would say this but I miss Sammy. I have never been a huge Samuelsson fan but he can provide secondary scoring. If I am Babs, I would sit Cleary....sorry to all the fans of 11,but he has been terrible. He turns the puck over constantly. He makes misguided decisions with the puck....and he has lost a step. He and Miller have been the biggest disappointments so far. When Helm is back wit h Samuelsson, bring up Nyqvist and sit Cleary. To me he is the obvious choice although I know he is fan fav and he is trying but at this point, he is a liability even in his own end where he was an asset.

    A Few D-Men That Could Become Available This Year

    Huskins has been steady as a surgeons hands so far. Perhaps he didnt fit in with the system in other teams that he has played on but thus far, he has been better than what White, Q and Kindl. There are lots of players who look downright average in the AHL or for another NHL team but flourish in the right system. look at Howards numbers in GR...Patrick Sharp? Brooks Laich? The downside is that he is slow, so pair him with Smith who is speedy an offensively minded. He has earned a spot i think

    TooToo - the lovable little Tasmanian Devil

    Ok, i agree with no lame whistles BUT i do think the Joe needs to come up with a song afer Tootoo has a fight. Songs are big at the Joe- remember when Dan Cleary used to actually score and they would play " I can see clearly now?' We need a 22 fight song!

    Team next season?

    Brunner Equals Clutch/Work on Signing *merged

    I dont care how we say his name, in English or Swissish I dont care if he needs to work the corners a bit more I dont care if we call him Brooner...or Brunner...or Jack Bauer. I DO care that we have a talented goal scorer that has generated a ton of excitement and who can finish. The guy will need time to get used to the smaller ice and the angles....but I'm willing to wait!!
  20. I liked this signing last week....I love it now! He has been a whole lot more than I expected!

    Team next season?

    Ferraro isnt ready yet...and wont be next year

    PK Subban

    Agreed. He has a very competitive nature...I like his fire. I heard ( and can't find the link) that he was offered 5 million and he wants 7....so yikes.

    PK Subban

    That turned out so well!
