    3/20 GDT : Red Wings 1 Tampa Bay Lightning 3

    Bishop is a wing killer. We do terribly against big goalies like Rinne and Bishop. Its because we don't work them laterally and down low much.

    3/9 GDT : Oilers 2 at Red Wings 5

    What was the song the fans were singing after that faceoff?

    My Ideal Playoff Situation

    Montreal and Bruins scare me pretty bad. Carey Price is killing us so far this season and the Bruins can bully us all day.

    Red Wings acquire Marek Zidlicky from NJ for Cond. 2016 3rd Round Pick

    Kenny still needs to go after Green this summer but this is a good band-aid fix for now.

    Good deal - not a permanent fix. Glad we didn't give any prospects. Holland still needs to do something significant this offseason to fix the back end for more than a couple months.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    Holland is the king of the deadline band-aid. Just grab some old broken down players and say you improved the team for the playoffs. Can't wait to see Babs passive aggressively tossing Cole on the 4th line to rot away. GET US A DMAN WORTH A DAMN.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    This. why are we wasting assets on players we don't need... we have loads of guys that can step into our fwd group. when helm and z get healthy we won't have room for one of pulks/jurco as well as andersson. Our D is a disaster and we could have used that 2nd in a package for a dman.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    Will holland stop acquiring players that require walkers? Lets make a meaningful deal rather than bringing in old rentals. The real problem is our D and that 2nd rounder could have been used to sweeten the pot for a potentially big trade.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    Wish we didn't lose the 2nd... We didn't really need more FWDs so I'm guessing a Dman is coming next... please stick the landing holland and don't screw us again.

    Once again blowing a lead and giving up 3 goals

    ahahaha night and day. wow. thanks for the chuckle!

    Once again blowing a lead and giving up 3 goals

    We don't have a Lids anymore... We could use another top 3 dman to help carry the load and absorb some of that pressure. When we won the cup our top 4 D were: Lids - Rafi Kronner - Stuart Now we have: Kronner - Ericsson Dekeyser - Quincey Its like light and day. That is why we can break down the way we do from time to time.

    2/28 GDT : Red Wings 4 at Predators 3

    I think we need to add a #2-3 dman before the deadline. We can't keep giving up garbage goals like this in the playoffs. We have such a hard time getting things settled once things break down in the D-zone. I hate to say it but Phaneuf could bring that nasty factor on the back end that we are seriously lacking.

    Lindros suing Paul Stewart

    Lindros donated a lot of money to University Hospital in London Ontario for Sports Medicine. I wouldn't say he was a total dick off the ice that doesn't support charity. On the ice - yeah I can't speak to that.

    Is Jimmy Our Playoff Goalie?

    Yeah Jimmy will be the starter - he has playoff experience. However, deep down I think Mrazek is a big-game player and would rise to the challenge of the playoff pressure.

    2/23 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Ducks 4 (SO)

    Eyeball test makes me want Mrazek more. He will be rock solid for 3 or 4 then have a stinker. I'm okay with that and I'd rather that then having subpar games every night but not having any complete meltdowns.

    2/23 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Ducks 4 (SO)

    They just had to show the 25-0-7 stat in 1 goal games... just had to do it.

    Did babs not use his timeout again?

    2/23 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Ducks 4 (SO)

    I don't see how you can say Howard is more reliable than Mrazek. They both have a few brain farts every game but Mrazek moves the puck so much better and helps the D more. I'd say they are about equal - its not as far in Howard's favour as people think.

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    Do you guys think Janmark or Melen will come over next year? I'm pretty intrigued by these guys.

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    I'm not talking just about the Olsen twins a while back. I'm also talking about missing out on Dmen this offseason as well. Sure - we got Alfie but the connection to the Swedes helped there and he was looking for a last kick at the can. Weiss came in but Fil bolted... We aren't the prettiest girl at the dance anymore - just gonna have to go about things slightly differently. Also you overpay in FA anyways so if you acquire through trade at least you have the ability to control the cost of some guys. Things got way out of hand in Toronto.

    I wonder if they want a slightly used Monster?
