Hjalmarsson Cheap Shot on Jason Pominville
Octopus's Garden replied to Octopus's Garden's topic in General

I really dislike this move actually. If Ericsson can't get his sh*t together playing against 3rd and 4th liners, then screw it. It's not worth downgrading the top defensive pairing to just shake him out of a preseason slump. This puts an awful lot of pressure on Lidstrom to perform on both ends of the ice -- even more than he already has. I guess the plus side is that our 3rd line pairing of Kronner and Salei might just destroy everyone.

There's absolutely no explanation for a move like that that would make sense. There isn't a single facet of the game, besides experience, that Maltby has an edge on Eaves right now.

9/26 Pre-season GDT: New York Rangers at Red Wings

I'm sure it's not the best for these guys physically, but I have to say, I don't mind when the Wings are on this MLB-style schedule of playing every single day. -

Based on that last crowd shot, my estimate for attendance is 103. -

Interested to see that Janik-Smith combo together. Hopefully they get a decent amount of ice time. I have high hopes for both. -
Pre-Season 9/22 GDT: Red Wings at Pittsburgh Penguins

Pens then a home-and-home with Chicago to open the preseason. I really wish there were less "rivals" on the exhibition schedule. It just opens the door for injuries and dangerous play in meaningless games. -

We shouldn't have to be frantically checking for injury updates on September friggin' 22. I hope Downey comes out of the box and smashes Malkin's head through the glass. -

Didn't he also walk off under his own power with a torn ACL? Not sure that tells us anything unfortunately. -

Sounds like knee-on-knee. Five minutes for Orpik. What a douchebag. -

What's the chant for McCollum? Tom-my Tom-my?? His last name does not fit well into the two-syllable goalie chant. -

Lilja gets training camp invitation to Sharks
Octopus's Garden replied to CenterIce's topic in General
Nothing at all surprising here. If Lilja can't make that team, given the current state of its d-corps, then he'll either have to crawl back to Detroit or head to Europe. This is a perfect scenario for him. Time for the current guys here, especially the younger ones, to step up. Lebda and Lilja are gone ... only the best remain -
Good. The NHL should take a team back there. Hopefully one of the terrible current franchises like Atlanta.

This is no good. If he needs surgery, they might want to go ahead and get on that, seeing as how the regular season starts in like 6 weeks.
