    Why Is The Joe Half Empty?

    I was there last night and it took the entire intermission just to go to the bathroom and get a Coke. It was probably one of the most packed early season games I've ever been to that wasn't the home opener. A lot of people seemed to leave with about 6-7 minutes left but the arena was pretty full and it was hell trying to get anywhere on the concourse.

    10/2 GDT : Sabres 1 at Red Wings 2

    Anyone criticizing this game doesn't know what they're talking about. Yeah there were dumb penalties but we killed off two 5-on-3s and they barely had any chances on either of them. Their only goal was a fluke on a misplay behind the net. Our goals were solid shots made possible from hard work and the forecheck. The only reason we didn't have 2 or so more goals is because Ryan Miller is such a quality goaltender. Buffalo had no business staying in that game.

    Oilers Name Six Alternate Captains

    Nothing like watering down a title that's actually supposed to mean something.

    Emmerton on Waivers

    Samuelsson won't be waived and he won't be sent down. End story. He makes too much money to be sent down to stay on our books for no reason even though he's on our books for no reason even when he is playing for us.

    So LTIR IS an option before Tuesday??

    HBO 24/7

    The problem with that is they would have to edit a lot of the footage. With HBO, they don't have to censor anything.

    9/21 Pre-Season GDT : Boston Bruins at Red Wings, 7:00 EST

    Weiss looked pretty good but Franzen didn't want the puck and Cleary wasn't doing anything when he got it. There was a perfect play where Weiss fed the puck to Franzen and he immediately pushed it back to Weiss as Weiss was almost passing the goal. It made absolutely no sense to give it back to Weiss and it was immediately turned over. Nyquist and Andersson were pretty good, they seemed to still be in sync from the playoffs last season and got themselves a couple 2-on-1s but couldn't put it home.

    9/17 Pre-Season GDT : Red Wings 0 at Blackhawks 2

    They said he kicked it in. I guess he didn't kick it in? Nice job announcing.

    9/17 Pre-Season GDT : Red Wings 0 at Blackhawks 2

    Yeah, sounds like Gustavsson is doing pretty well right now.
  12. Even the thought of Tatar - Helm - Nyquist has me beyond excited.
  13. What a bargain price for Andersson. Ecstatic about this contract.

    I couldn't help but notice... (rant)

    Man, I don't like Crosby but some people have a real complex when it comes to this guy.

    Alfredsson and the #11

    Hopefully it's not cursed from Modano's stellar season here. (Not commenting on his play, his season was an unfortunate one)
  16. Helm is also an addition we didn't have last year. Assuming he doesn't have yet another setback and can play this season, he's a huge part of this team.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    Apparently Brunner is signing officially with the Devils tomorrow. 2 Years, $3mil a year.

    Henrik and Pavel

    I don't see either getting their numbers formally retired but maybe both as an unspoken rule. I think Zetterberg would have more of a chance considering he has a Conne Smyth and is the captain and will be captain until he retires.

    Ilya Kovalchuk announces retirement

    What I don't get is why didn't he do this before Free Agency when the Devils could have actually tried to replace him and use that $7mil? Seems like a dick move to wait this long.
  20. Sorry but the division we're coming from is 10x harder to play in than the division we're going to and if Alfredsson turns out like Modano, then be glad it's a one year contract and his bonuses are paid out only if he plays 10 games. Other than that, we can find much better options for scoring than Brunner next offseason when Alfredsson comes off the books. The FA class is loaded.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    Yeah he would be one of the best players on the Panthers immediately and get to live in Florida. Much better situation, if he doesn't care about winning lol

    who's on their way out of Detroit

    Capgeek doesn't have him listed as LTIR and he's still counting against their cap.

    who's on their way out of Detroit

    Pronger is not on LTIR yet.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    There's a star next to it that says $2mil in bonuses. It's also not counted in our total salary as we still have $2.3mil in cap space when we'd actually be over the cap if it counted.
  25. I expect a trip to the finals.
