Snazzy

I feel much better about Howard. I think if Bab plays him right (and is conscious of his confidence down the course), he will grow into a solid and more consistent netminder.

Howard was sensational tonight. J Willy was a force. Franzen IS the beast. Leino, we got him for $800 per year? Wow! He's amazing! Dats is dats. Ralfi with 4 assists, right? wow Ericsson was impressive. I think he's going to have a very bright and lasting future with the Red Wings. Ritola had a solid game overall Eaves was good. Ryno is showing signs, I hope he decides to play in the AHL, I think he has potential. The other kids had some nice spurts. Delmore and Kindl have a solid shot. J Willy and Howard made me happy tonight. Meech is horrible. Snazzy's scouting report brought to you by dunkin donuts and the church of jesus christ.

J.Willy and Leino look like great moves so far. It's hard to gauge Williams since he's still jellin and hasn't played much. His shot is MASSIVE and he seems to handle the puck and skate better than the 2006 Willy. I expect big things from him. Kronwall is by far our best defensemen this preseason. Lidstrom is mediocre at best. Stuart is lost at times and Ericsson has made some bone head mistakes that I'll chulk up as rookie. Lebda and Meech are horrible. I'd love to see Brad May take Meech money and let Meech walk. Flip and Leino.. Oh.My.God. These guys are the real deal! These guys play like a solid 2nd line. Add in Hank, and you have a dominating line that might be classifieds and the official Red Wings 1st line. But it's yet to be seen if Hank plays on that line or how they Jel. Dats and Franzen look dominant at times, but Dats seems rusty compared to the Dats we all know... Ozzy seems shaky, Howard seems more stable to me. Ozzy seems sleepy/dazy. Howard was impressive in yesterdays game. I like him and think he'll may all the naysayers go away or cry. I think may LGW posters are going to look for any little thing in his game to cry about and try to make a big issue out of nothing, esp if he doesn't play like a Luongo. Doesn't seem fair, but that's how LGW posters roll over here. Ridiculous. Eaves hasn't earned s*** so far. I'll take May over him... I was hoping he'd be like a 'Cleary' story, but it's not looking good. Ryno I like but hasn't done much. I think he should play with the Griffins, maybe he'll get it together. I think he has a lot of upside if he has the 'want' and 'will'. However, past reports about his attitude isn't promising. I was hoping Who cares Wings lost the last 5 games? Doesn't mean s***. Ritola and Newbury and Kindl (sp) should all have been cut by now, but it's preseason so no biggie. But they are not ready to be in the NHL. Most impressive so far: Kronwall Leino Flip Jason Williams Howard Abby (even though he has made some bonehead mistakes like Ericsson has - again, just rookie errors) (at times) Ryno has spurts like he's going to break out. Least impressive Bertuzzi Eaves Meech Lebda Newberry Ritola (probably more since I didn't even notice their presence) Guys who are not impressive but get breaks because they will play up to par when it really matters: Lidstrom Datsyuk Cleary Osgood Franzen (at times - other times he's a beast) If I didn't mention their names is because they weren't a factor to me. Again, this is preseason, so the only guys who get scrutiny from me is the guys who are suppose to be fightine for a roster spot, but I guess some kids don't care because they know they don't have a chance. I'm not sure if Holmstrom should get 1st line ice time all the time... Maybe when Bab wants to mix it up and on PP. I'd like to see Babcock try other combos with Dats and Franzen.... maybe give Cleary more time with them, or try Williams. I'd like to see Hank with Flip and Leino; that might be our best line. I don't where to put Bert. I don't feel he's earned a spot on the 1st or 2nd line yet.

What is the link?

Howard gets the start tonight? I hope he does.

The game is on FSN (dishnetwork for me) right now, 430. I watched it online earlier and watching it again now

Started off as a snooze fest but ended with an exciting bang. I thought Holmers shootout was fine... I've seen Hossa do worse. But I was hoping to see Flip get a chance. Cleary is clutch. I read posters in this thread trying to say Cleary isn't clutch... obviously those people are new to hockey. Cleary is a guy I always want to see on the ice in key situations like tonight. The man is pure determination. Wings did really good with a 5th line instead of a 2nd line. Clearly the regulars aren't taking the preseason serious. I do however wish the prospects would try to prove their worth a bit more. May appears he should be on a 4th line in the NHL somewhere, but not in Detroit. Hope somebody picks him up... tonight was the best game of the preseason so far.

To hell being in the east. Divide it into 3 conferences and have the line drawn at the timezone.

Well dayum, guess I should burn all my CDs and DVDs and sell them on eBay then. Oh wait, here is a better idea... lets forge Lidstrom's, Zetterberg's, Yzerman's and Howes signature on hockey gear and pawn if off on eBay. Seems to be the "right thing to do" according some of you posters. Profiting off stolen stuff is okay.

It's not okay. When did I say it's okay? But according to you it's faulty logic that webmasters (and LGW posters) should try to earn as much cash from people around the world from something that is stolen? That's really your "logic"? And you wish to call my logic "faulty"!? Lol. I don't condone piracy, nor will I ever create a website that supports piracy.... And I certainly won't ever sell or try to profit from stolen property. Just my "faulty logic", I guess. In your theory, it's okay for people to download a movie (or burn a million copies of it) to sell it to the public for profits? Guess mama didn't teach you right from wrong. But hey, if you wanna make money from stolen property, go for it. This is America, land of opportunity.... right?

Larsson allowed 3 goals against the Rangers. And it's ******* Jimmy Howard's fault! Empty netter against Rangers = I blame Howard! Wings/Holland should get Luongo and have Brodeur for backup. Ozzy can be 3rd in rotation.... It's all Howard's fault! Wings will never win a single game ever as long as Howard is within a 2,500 mile radius of the Joe. Again, Howard's fault! Last year, it was all Ozzies fault. 9 out of 10 threads started on LGWs was how Ozzy could not carry this team any more in the playoffs and should be sent down.... I trust faceless LGW posters over Kenny Holland any day of the week. For that, I blame Jimmy Howard! This thread is by far the lamest every published on a message forum across the world. The thread starter should be shot... and at the very least, should lose his posting privileges on all message forums across the country! OP, stay.off.internet - get.job

People who are trying to earn affiliate cash from trying to get people to sign up under your name should be banned and definitely should not be trusted. It's really classless that people are on LGW's trying to shake down extra cash from an illegal website stealing feeds. Shameful. /rant

That might be a good option and I'm sure their quality is much better -- if they play NHL, not sure they updated their schedule yet?. hockeystream has horrible quality if you can get it to work properly. http://ohmys***.com/general-s***/hockeystr...ipoff-be-warned

Chicago's one year window for a chance to win it all is closing harshly due to injuries.

It's a ripoff, especially when you can watch games free on sopcast, atdhe, justintv and ect. Their quality isn't any better, in fact, I found it to be worse because it's choppy and unreliable. I wouldn't wish hockeystream to my worse enemy. Why pay the money to an illegal feed trying to get rich when you can get it for free?

Jimmy Howard made us lose another important exhibition game tonight against the Rangers. Dammit, dammit all to hell! We're not winning the cup. Hurry, call Kenny and tell him he's doing it all wrong. Kenny should call Felix Potvin, I'm sure he'd come here for $4 million a year plus bonuses. Get-er-done Kenny!

Lol. It's installed. It's been installed. I have used it often and recently.

You're an idiot. What part of "site is broken" don't you understand? All of it, or just part of it? How many times shall I download sopcast on my laptop? It worked the last 3 times I used it, does it just uninstall itself? You're not too bright are ya?

for those who can't watch it due to atdhe or justintv use this http://rags2riches99.webs.com/livestreams.htm password: reunited

yet other people are still posting like they are watching the game, wtf? How are you guys watching it? Sopcast website is down and atdhe / justin is offline

Did atdhe / justintv go down for anyone else? It's offline for me for some reason. Sopcast doesn't work. Their website is broken

Last time fans didn't have confidence in a goalie, he took the Wings to the finals and won the cup the year prior. I also remember fans that didn't have confidence in some 4th line nobody named Johan Franzen and some nobody named Danial Cleary who are probably the biggest clutch in the playoffs. Didn't some other team, can't remember who they are :wink: have some kid come in that was below subpar in the AHL and just totally kick ass in net? Whoopieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Lets make more of these threads, we need 'em!

That's it... it's official; Wings are not winning the cup ever again. They're done. Hurry, tell Kenny it's over. Wings are fried. The word needs to be spread... pass it on! Oh wait, Cleary was a "flop" too, wasn't he? Well then, maybe he should just keep floppin'. Man, I wish Kenny brings in more "flops", they seem to be real failures. :rollseyes:

Oh man, I just noticed Datsyuk didn't score any goals in these meaningless exhibition games either, we should all write him off as a complete flop! Kneeeeee-jerererk Kneeeeeee-jerrrrrk Knee-jerkkkkk

I'll play. Howard and Meech straight across for Frolov. Throw in Hudler's rights for good measure. NHL '10 RuLeS
