    All purpose Mike Babcock thread

    Babcock wasn't hired with the expectation that they'd win now.. he was hired to turn their franchise around. That's going to take time with how awful they've been. He was just being realistic, not taking the easy way out imo. Also, I'm pretty sure Harbaugh was saying similar "it's going to take time" things in his first pressers. He's certainly exceeded expectations.

    All purpose Mike Babcock thread

    Whether Babcock is the best or not, I don't know.. But you could get three best coaches together to coach that leafs team and they'd still suck. Their roster is horrible and they look like the sabers did last year.. tanking for Matthews. I hope they last and because of the new draft lotto, end up with the fourth pick.

    11/6 GDT : Red Wings at Toronto Maple Leafs, 7:00 EST

    Wooooo! LGW! Any day we get to beat Toronto is a good day in my book.. hoping for Larkin's first career hat trick. Wings win 4-0. Tatar with the other one.

    Abby Signs 7-year, 29.75 mil Extension

    I'm not surprised either..and he's definitely earned it. He's an absolute steal on his current contract. If Kenny could pull some hometown discount esque magic and get him on a 4x4 contract, I'd be ecstatic. It'll likely be around what zombo posted and worth every penny.

    Kane case headed to grand jury

    BREAKING: Patrick Kane will not be prosecuted on rape allegations; DA cites lack of proof https://t.co/SUhpgKlC0i Edit: this is via the buffalo news' official Twitter page. (I thought it copied that as well, whoops)

    So who were the Wings scouting ?

    Wings also had two scouts at the leafs-stars game.. so it would appear we're scouting the leafs. Could just be planning to face them, could be for trade potential.. who knows. On that note: JVR plz

    Connor McDavid injured, out "long-term"

    Yeah I heard that as well as it was a clean break.. wouldn't be surprised if he was back earlier. Definitely could've been worse.

    So who were the Wings scouting ?

    Fowler would be awesome. They're looking for goal scoring last I heard though so they'd probably want someone like Tatar or pulk plus a prospect and/or pick in return.

    New arena construction updates

    I just skimmed through that one so they might've mentioned it in there too but I read in the link below that the Illichs are also shopping things to help the surrounding area.. http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20151104/NEWS/151109915/ilitches-add-95-million-worth-of-features-to-new-red-wings-arena?X-IgnoreUserAgent=1 So awesome. I'm beyond stoked for the new arena and continued growth of Detroit.

    Connor McDavid injured, out "long-term"

    Surgery that will supposedly involve plates and screws..he could be out three months or more. It'll be interesting to see how he bounces back from this so early in his career.

    Mike Green out 2-3 weeks

    I like the looks of that. Hopefully green comes back as an offensive force.. Especially on the power play.

    11/3 GDT : Tampa Bay Lightning at Red Wings, 7:30 EST

    I like those power play lines. Tatar-Zetterberg-Nyquist, Abdelkader (net front), Kronwall. Pulkkinen-Sheahan-Larkin, Helm (net front), kindl.
  13. No, I got it.. was just trying to continue it I suppose; although basically half asleep. It seemed like a good idea at the time?

    11/3 GDT : Tampa Bay Lightning at Red Wings, 7:30 EST

    Hoping for a win, as always. But also, let's out shoot them as well. That'd be greeeat.. 3-1 wings. With a pair of goals from Tatar & Larkin with the empty netter. Filp scores for Tampa. LGW!
  16. And of course, datsyuks son. I don't think he has one yet but we better lock that down early just in case
  17. Yeah that's pretty s***ty of him. People do dumb things when they're young.... hopefully he learns from it. At least his flow game is strong

    10/31 GDT: Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators

    Nice GDT. let's go wings! Love the look of the lines, all things considered.

    Byfuglien - What would he cost?

    Kopitar in a wings jersey would be a dream come true. He's part of the reason I like the Kings. Also, out of nothing more than curiosity, I wonder when the last time a sign then trade happened. I can't think of one. usually it's the other way around. Anyway, trading for him would be the tough part.... I can't imagine him not re-signing here.

    10/30 GDT : Ottawa Senators 3 at Red Wings 1

    Sign I hope to make eventually: "14 teams passed on Larkin."

    10/30 GDT : Ottawa Senators 3 at Red Wings 1

    Sens have had a lot of injuries lately too.. hopefully we can take advantage. I think the wings will outplay the sens but it'll be close. Hoping to see some depth scoring out of us tonight. LGW!

    Jeff Blashill = Dave Lewis 2.0 / Coaching Change

    Babcock probably started that thread
  23. Criticism where it's due. Mrazek didn't need to play that puck.. the d man would've had it. Hopefully he doesn't lose any confidence over it but that was his bad obviously.

    Mike Green out 2-3 weeks

    He got hit behind our net in the first period of the calgary game.... http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2015/10/23/mike-green-gets-leveled-behind-net-by-josh-jooris-leaves-game-with-injury/ (there's a video in there)

    Quincey is also out through at least this upcoming weekend with concussion symptoms... :/ Hopefully they all get well soon.
