That makes sense. It's just crazy. He is the exact type of player that Holland and Babcock were whining about for the past 4 years. The fact that he was even available was silly.

I can't buy that. If we offer them bonafide roster players and our #1, that is loads better than unproven draft picks.

A 22 year old 6'5" RHD who plays over 20 minutes a night and scores 40+ points was traded for picks.....for picks??!! Holland, why didn't you throw the 1st, Nyquist, and Pulks at them?

I think it has less to do with Bowman, and more to do with Lidstrom. Lidstrom was the driving force behind a lot of the team's success since at least 2002, and perhaps even since '98. I don't think it's a huge surprise that as he aged and declined the team kept slipping further from cup contention. Now that he's gone, the team is NOT a contender. When you have a guy that plays half the game and makes no mistakes, then you can effectively cover up a lot of other weaknesses.

Duncan Keith is probably the best defenseman in the NHL. That guy is GOOD. Hjalredlkjson is elite, as well. Those 2 seemed to carry them through the SCF.

That's been going on for at least 5 years.

Well, I think I'm done with the NHL for a while. Just cancelled my VPN, and game center live subscription.

"We gotta go get their D" -Babcock

I think they're specifically booing Kronwall. No idea why.

Is this why Kenny Holland almost always offers some type of role within the organization after they retire?

This team is a bunch of ******* retards

FINALLY..jesus christ

I'd like to see a god damn goal.

This game makes me sad. Detroit is playing so much better than last game but have nothing to show for it.
