LETS GO TIGERS! Opening day is right around 3 months away. Cannot get here fast enough really. Raburn back Welcome Brad Penny

Let the party begin April 5th baby! http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/03/tigers-release-brennan-boesch.html Good luck Brennan

We have found this to be all but true this year. Tarts and Andersson have been a wakeup call that things have to be shaken up. Look, thanks Danny Cleary, you have been a warrior but now you are clearly a liability. You can shuffle the lines Babs, quit pumping your own tires with this reverse psychology bulls***.

C'mon back Danger

I still think we squeak in. All that has been said in the negative direction of Cleary and Abby is kind of a fallback excuse but they have been a death sentence to that first line. We will see what Gus can do and I am sure we will see Tarts back up here soon enough. A transaction isn't out of the realm either. I fully expect this team to get Helm back soon and that will instantly bring more sense to all of the lines after. I am sure it has been mentioned but I don't think a lot of people realize how much of loss Helmer really is.

I like having Gus here again but they could have easily brought Tatar up to top 6 the way he has played. Definitely more behind this than just a clean swap. We will see.

With Helm coming back shortly (I hope) and Flip back on Wednesday there will be some healthy scratches regardless. Oh, and Sammy too I guess....

That line would be quite soft but this rapid decline in Cleary's usefulness and Abby's well, outright uselessness is killing the flow of what the lines could be. Tatar should have been spared truthfully even with how good Andersson has played. We need the skill of getting the puck to the net and in the net at this point and Tarts was one of the few getting that done. While I feel this isn't permanent, just would like to see some more balance throughout. Just not sure where it comes from.

I like those possibilities especially with Gus on Pash's line. The less minutes Danny and Abs get the better imo. They have really been a deadass paperweight on a top 6 line.

My guess would be this move has to do with making room for Helm and Flip coming back soon. Outside of that...

As long as the Wings are playing hockey, I believe. It's a curse, I know....

Pizza, beer, poker, and Wings hockey.... Fabulous Friday night. Make it a win, and the music will then consequently be cranked up at this household.

Got to be in the minority on that one, bro lol... I feel fairly good about this one tonight but I felt good about the others as well... so I need to start drinking more and then I will feel cool no matter what. GO WINGS!!!

Absolutely love that quote!! Feel the same way but it needs to translate to the ice. Let's bring it back to the Joe and see where we go from there.

The Torres for Hossa trade off seems to be kind of a big deal in this series wouldn't you all say?? Hawks are toast.

Completely pumped about the potential and what he will look like once he gets a full season in and time to refine the game to what it can be. They called him a younger Hank and I can definitely see it. Put him on the Pav line and let him get the chances that way. Wasted with Emmerton and Homer.

Discount with Suter and Parise? Ummm, yes? Of freaking course!!!!!! If this the only argument people are bringing to the table then I think you are all totally missing the point. It's a business, people, do you want another Cup? Nick has made 93 mill in his career, take one for the greatest organization in the world for 1 season to hoist Lord Stanley 1 more time.

Probably

Yes for Franzen but good luck with finding someone taking that albatross of a contract. The other 2? Holy bats*** crazy idea, Batman.

These 2 shouldn't be on the same line right now. I still can't believe how useless they have been outside of Bert's "fight". I'd say- Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Cleary Franzen-Filppula-Hudler Miller-Abdelkader-Bertuzzi Holmstrom-Emmerton-Nyquist I was present and that's totally false. Place was electric aside from the final 5 minutes of play. It was tough because any kind of chance was getting snuffed out and Rinne was just seeing everything. Same issue with not driving to the net, going to the dirty areas, and creating the traffic that is necessary to get the puck past him. Just shut down the engines, recharge the batteries, and get it together. 1 game at a time and whatever else the cliche machine can nail out. They can do this.

This speech makes me want to climb Mt. Everest naked...

Tunage accompaniment. I shan't give up no matter how bleak it may be.

Sums it all up right here.

Nemos parking lot is where to be at this second. Cheaper beer outside and the sun is shining. Excite? Oh I do believe very much so! GOOOO WINGS and lets see that Johan fella wake theeeee hell up!
