St. Michael (the Red Wing)

Shutout for Jimmy is also nice forgot to add that

Win omg FINALLY. The test tomorrow is where it's at vs the Nucks

Will all the Cleary haters please stand up please stand up

Tatar is the goods.

Tatar is a better skater than Huds in every way. Opinion of course.

Not gonna work unless it's on a penalty call. Video replay is effect for disputed goals and has been for awhile. Maybe an offside call but regardless it slows the game down. I'll pass on this.

Yay 3 goal lead we CAN'T lose now.

Besides our famous 2 goal lead it is nice to see our bottom 6 scoring some goals.

I rather be up one goal right now instead of two. : l

I'd have no complaints on us having a firesale.

Hawks are for real

I thought for this reason he wouldn't have been picked up but I kept my mouth shut. The majority of this thread however thought surely he would have been claimed. Best of luck to Jan in GR.

Can we please bust out of this slump we are in? Pretty please guys.

So much for someone picking him up. lol

I can't blame Babs at all right now. Limited number of "healthy" players to work with. However it's all about winning in professional sports no excuses in the NHL either. It's always easy to blame the coach but in reality it always comes down to the players. Opinion of course.

Datsyuk could be gone after next season. Sad but true. Also our team is on the decline. Screw both Parise and Suter. Parise is proving way more worth than Suter. Thank F we didn't shell out the amount for Suter. I've said this since day one. Highly overrated d-man. I fail to see the point where Perry or Getzlaf would want to come here to an organization on the decline / rebuild status? The logic as mentioned by other members that we treat our players right and we are the Detroit Red Wings is sort of out the window now. It doesn't hold any value since the cap era. This team isn't the 2008 or 2009 team for that matter. You have to get worse before you can get better again. It's true at the NHL level. Name me one NHL team that has been dominant throughout their career? The answer is no one. It upsets me on this forum that people start shouting out other teams players names like they are gonna want to sign with our current team. BS.

Do you have any source saying that one is interested in signing with us? I'm assuming you think we have a chance at signing one of them then? Fair enough. We shall see won't we and it's like Perry or Getzlaf are gonna solve any of this teams problems right now anyways. No source on that either sorry.

Injuries are a factor and are causing this downswing yes I agree.. Yes we have the injury plague. However I still don't like using it as an excuse. Blowing 2 goal leads and whatever else isn't due to injuries. Our PP imo has done us in a lot games on not capitalizing to put the puck in the net.

If so. You still think we have a legit chance to sign one of them? I don't. I see one of them going out East... I don't care who the Ducks resign. My point is Perry or Getzlaf signing with us is slim to none. More like none.

You think Perry or Getzlaf are gonna want to come here? I highly doubt it unless we throw a big sum of money at either of them. Also that's IF they don't resign with Anaheim. Ducks have been good so far this season mind you.

Not surprised by this at all AGAIN.

I'm not really surprised. Congrats Mr. Ruff for being the first coach fired this shortened season.

Waste of money signing him as well as the NTC thing. To be honest I don't care if he doesn't play the rest of the season. Opens up a spot for some of our younger kids try to prove their worth.

I agree. Toots should get more ice time.

Oh and they won again last night? No regulation losses YET this season. As it is they have matched the NHL's best opening record with at least one point in their last 16 games. Not that it's amazing or anything but surely the Hawks season is going better than ours is at the moment.
