Maybe if Abby could do something useful and valuable. Jeez, he gets targeted in the head twice and doesn't seem to care. That was just ridiculous.
-
Detroit didn't lose because they were out-muscled. They lost because they played gutless against a defense-first system. Nobody driving the net. Too many cute plays. Too many good chances against Howard. Modano being useless. Aussie: The odds of winning through 5 on 5 with less than a minute to play are less likely if the team has an equal opportunity to puck possession. There is a reason teams in the NHL pull their goal.
-
Detroit tied a few games with the empty net. It is hardly useless.
-
The Preds play such a boring game. No wonder Rinne's stats are so good. He had to make one or two tough saves all game.
-
Howard should give the intermission speech. Bailed out Detroit on the PK and Stuart just acted like a traffic cone in front on the Nashville goal.
-
I've already forgotten. As much as I want Abs to succeed here, he's gotta do something that makes him valuable. So far this season he has brought nothing that the team couldn't get from 100 other players in the NHL or AHL.
-
And strangely enough the Predators are taking stupid penalties and paying for it. Detroit is taking the play to Nashville despite the Preds trying to take their heads off.
-
In other news: Jason Williams scores! To be fair it was on a shot where Turco wasn't anywhere near the net. But good for him. WINGS WON! SHUTOUT!! Boring game. MACDONALD ROX! DAMMIT NASH! I think that's about it.
-
Howard saw the puck. He described its trajectory himself. Anyhow, good win. Solid by everyone all around. Keep it up, Detroit.

From HF on the Caps goal:
-
Good period. Combined fail effort on the Caps goal, though. Keep it up Wings. Lidstrom pay attention.
-
Your avatar describes my mood perfectly right now.

Throw the book at him. Then suspend him for 3 games.
-
Couldn't disagree more about the music. The parodies ruined that music for me, and the score they used this year is one of their better ones.
-
Strangely enough the league has already discussed this prior to Mario's letter. He isn't giving the NHL nothing new.
-
Couldn't care less about the seeding if the team can't pick up the slack. 2nd seed or 8th seed they aren't in any position to win anything with the way they have been performing.
-
Pretty sure injuries due to cheap shots occurred before the instigator. I also believe that concussions weren't as well documented as they are now.
-
I half expected his plan to be: 1. Become commissioner. 2. ? 3. ? 4. ? 5. Profit!
-
I'm not going to blame exterior sources on this team for a player not trying or acting like he cares. That's on him. Babcock may not have put him in the right position to succeed, but he sure as hell didn't help.
-
Why? We are fans? If a player doesn't do his best on this club, are we not allowed to have disdain for him? If he isn't doing his best to entertain the people who pay his salary I am not going to enjoy watching him succeed on another club.
-
And so, the Osgood vs. Howard debates may continue again.
-
Really? He backchecks. He tries to make plays in the offensive zone (and has done such at a reasonable level). My big issue is he is deferring it too much. He isn't trying to make plays himself. He wants to give it to someone else to score (such as Datsyuk's OT winner against Edmonton). He needs to be confident in his ability to drive the net, shoot, and score. Other than that I think the effort has been there.
-
You obviously aren't watching the games.
-
What Overtime said. Also the guy didn't care here. He didn't try to work with the system. He even admits that he prefers the city (cause Detroit sucks amirite?) and the discipline of the forwards (aka not having any real responsibility) which is why he is doing well there. He can go f*** himself as far as I'm concerned. I have seen very few other players as lethargic as him in a Wings uniform.
