    That's what I was thinking. We got more for Hronek.

    Rumors Thread

    I agree with this. Every time someone suggests we get deeper down the middle they suggest we pick up a #2C. Why not try for someone better than we already have, and get a new #1C that moves Larkin to the #2.
  5. My feeling about the hit: - The hit was a little high, it did seem like the initial contact was in the head. - We have had big hitters on our team before and the consensus after a big hit is always, "The other guy needs to keep his head up and looking forward". It is no different when the hits come our way. It's simple, when a guy like Reaves is on the ice you should always know where he is for your own good.
  6. After listening for these TNT announcers for an entire game, I have vowed to never say another bad thing about Jimmy Howard’s commentary.

    Move them to Houston. 4th largest city in the US. Everyone here is from up north somewhere. The Aeros used to do really well here before the Wild moved them closer to home. There is a proper arena with an owner who has an interest in bringing hockey here. I think it would work better than most people think, Dallas is doing pretty well still.

    Red Wings Fired AL Sobotka

    For decades, at the end of the night they filled the urinals at the Joe with ice. Everyone loved drilling holes in that ice. Don't fire the dude if he feel nostalgic every time he sees a pile of ice. The urge to drill those holes can be overwhelming.

    GDT 3/24/22 - Red Wings v. Islanders:

    At this point, we are playing for a draft pick. Embrace the tank.

    Eddog vs. Seider

    These are the 2 I was thinking of when I asked the question. It looks like we are better off now than we were back then already!

    GDT: Wild Wings

    Who do we play in his place? This might be a good chance to get a look at some guys in GR and start a proper tank.

    Eddog vs. Seider

    I was just thinking the same thing, what a good position to be in. When was the last time we had 2 defensemen we could be this excited about?

    Pilgrimage to Detroit - Must Do Things

    I have: Datsyuk from the first WC Zetterberg from the 2nd WC 2 Larkin, one for me and one for R2 I'm trying to decide between Seider and Raymond next, they both keep going back and forth as my favorite rookie.

    Pilgrimage to Detroit - Must Do Things

    Last time I was there we stayed at Greektown. It was pretty nice, and they offered shuttles to the game.

    There's nothing like not rewarding players when they are doing well to help boost their confidence. Man Blash is good at handling our young talent.

    I don't care what they call them as long as I don't have to drive 4 hours away to Dallas to see the wings play.

    I just read they are trying smith on the 2nd line and moving Zadina down? Not the lineup change I was expecting. https://detroithockeynow.com/2021/11/27/smith-moving-red-wings-second-line/

    He's a #6 overall projected to go top 3. What kind of standard should he be held to? I think this is pretty accurate, which I would consider an underperformance from such a high pick.
