Dreger Report:

Was more piggybacking off the "Wings management have told him to not be tough" post. I understand he isn't an "ENFORCER" and will never be. He has been hitting again as of late which is nice but would still like to see a bit more from him when he gets challenged. Been seeing him skate the other way at times. And don't get me started on Ericsson.......

1 stupid pass by Kindl allows people to point the finger and say "LOOK! He is worse than Ericsson"!!!!! Come on people, you all know that lately "Big" E has been just about the most replaceable player out there. I can't tell ya what has happened to him this year but what I do know is that he really needs some press box time to figure it the hell out. He has been glaringly bad.

A little info on the possible next budding star for the Tigers, Jacob Turner. mlive Anybody else think he's done with?

Listless. It's a damn shame to see such a talented group of players, who can easily hang in there with every team in this league, just disintegrate like this in the waning moments. They were getting a pretty dominant performance by their goalie, terrible shots were going in, and they held the flow of play for the bulk of the game. The 3rd came back to bite them in the ass big time and I could just feel it after the 3rd goal. I know it is easy to pick on players at this point but Franzen and Ericsson to me look like they have completely forgotten how to play. Ericsson in particular has just been frustrating me to no end with his dips*** giveaways and little to no use of his large frame. He is far from the biggest problem but he is currently easily replaceable out there with someone like Kindl, who also had a dips*** giveaway. Excuses are tired and done and need to be thrown the hell out and this team simply needs their hunger back. That, my friends, is a hard thing to coach and teach but I still have confidence we can turn this thing around SOMEHOW.

Must have used the same tactic on guys like McCarty and Kocur back in the day with the SAME management. Same tired excuses from a guy with an Abby avatar. Go figure.

Not going to say it but we know who you are channeling right now. Maybe Jimmy should drop the gloves or something.

Not sure what's worse. Your blind hatred for Hudler or eva's bind homerism for Hudler . I do know one thing that Babs must be seeing something that Mo is doing being up on the 2nd. We will see what this creates. I am just excited to watch the Hank and Pav show to see what that can create.

This should get some people quite pumped including myself.... Might get Hank rolling with a gino by having someone who can distribute to him. freep Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Holmstrom Cleary-Modano-Bertuzzi Hudler-Filppula-Franzen Miller-Helm-Abdelkader

Pissed off type victory tonight. 6-2 Wings Huds, The Captain, Mule finally, Abby, Pav x 2 Saturday night's alright for fighting, I've heard so how about it Abby? Show us you want to stay with the big club!!!!

Got 3 24 oz. Bud Lights I got for 4 bucks with my name on it at home

No I know but professional sports is a copycat type scenario in some aspects. I hear such great things about the surrounding Jobing.Com area there. I already know when the Wings do get a new arena it will have all the bells and whistles and give or take a few more. I will take our history, atmosphere, and the moniker any day.

Middle of nowhere, yet still has more to do in and around it than the Joe does. Just epic sadness here.

Keep it rollin' Jimmy. Going to need another strong start from ya and for them players in front of you to give enough of a damn to play hard. I will be trashed the majority of this one because it is Saturday night and that is a rule or something.... If you can do it 5 times in 1 game Mule maybe you can figure out how to get maybe just 1 here. Our enforcer needs to become relevant again. Hope Raf is back for this one.

Beer and really I alternate a good drinker exercises both. Bottles or Cans.

O RLY?

I'll be there. I expect a couple of teams that hate each other a lot. Hopefully this means we show up on time and give a damn enough to play all 60 minutes.

Yeah, almost like they could run through any team at any point or vice versa at any point..... Can't imagine after these performances that Babs isn't just spitting down their damn necks but who the hell knows??? I am not becoming a normal cynic around here but WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!! Nice stat tidbit but he started for the friggen Islanders.... Just sayin'

Where.Has.He.Gone? I am all for whatever gets him to play like he did during the playoffs of last year and '09. He needs to get like the rest of this team does. HUNGRY AGAIN. He has definitely looked a lot more gritty and tenacious on the wing and I have seen SHADES of the old Abby but still not getting it done. Last night we were getting just pushed around at times and could have used an equalizing type play. Hopefully he can keep it up.

One plays hockey while the other is there for the purpose he showcased. For discussion's sake and dislike of Cluster people are turning this completely around. I mean, really people, assess this whole thing and watch it frame by frame. He was "defending" a younger teammate but in the grand scheme of this grand game we call hockey, Gillies has no place on a roster. Period.

Yeaaahhhh Ricky P. This kid is poised for a great season. Rotation and lineup are looking better than a lot of past seasons. I truly am getting more excited by the day. 25 days and counting!

Or the fact that the one has started 38 more games than the other. But don't let that little minor detail get in the way of your condescension

FTW. It's just the same old spoiled, cool thing to do to predict an implosion.
