    Overall, not bad. Looking forward to hearing more.

    Locker room Clean-Out Updates

    Sounds like he'd be permitted to talk to other teams. He'll likely be gone depending on how long babs re-signs for & what blash wants in response to that.

    Who is the coach next season?

    Babcock expects decision in about 10 days as far as his future with the red wings goes. Doesn't know anything yet. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/01/babcock-to-meet-with-holland-expects-to-make-red-wings-decision-in-10-days/

    Things you would like to see for 2015-16 Season

    My idea doesn't seem so far fetched anymore.. not sure how the cap situation would work out but I think we'd be under.. Trade Weiss, Smith, mid prospect, 2nd rounder for phaneuf with 2 mill salary retained, sign green, sign ward (assuming he makes it to UFA).. Tatar-Datsyuk-ward Nyq-Z-Abby Jurco-sheahan-helm Star wars line Kronner-green Dekeyser-Phaneuf Quincey-Ericsson Mraz/Howard I doubt that happens though. I'd be happy with just signing green but we'll see. I do think Howard stays with the team at least until the trade deadline, if not longer..

    Free agents this off season

    Joel ward would be awesome but he plays well on the wing with backstrom & ovi... I doubt they let him hit free agency. I'd love for us to get green more than any ufa. Maybe a year or two of stafford.. or Cole (assuming he's not done-zo)

    Detroit Red Wings 2014/2015 Eulogy

    Meh, that really wasn't nearly as bad as some of them I've seen. But it's probably that tampa blogger's first try so we'll give him a free pass on that one

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    Well, there are our answers. Good luck to Jurco & Marchenko and hopefully mrazek comes back refreshed and ready to go next season. http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=765824&navid=DL|DET|home

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    Jurco, marchenko, mrazek I believe...? Although, I hope mraz goes to worlds.. assuming he'd start anyway. That'd be better experience for him than another ahl playoff run. Does anyone know who the Czech have starting in net? edit: looks like its Pavelec right now. Wonder if they'll offer mraz a spot or not. I would think so.

    Who is the coach next season?

    I think they already announced that their coaching staff would be back next year.. babs being available could change things though, no doubt. If Babcock doesn't coach the wings next year though, I hope he goes to the western conference.

    Sign one of green/cody franson, trade for Phaneuf Kronner-phaneuf Dekeyser-franson/green Quincey-ericsson So I doubt that happens but I think at least one of green, cody, or Phaneuf will be here next season.

    Who is the coach next season?

    I'll only be worried about Babcock leaving if Hitchcock leaves the blues. And really not even that worried then. Why would babs go to another rebuild (oilers, leafs, sabers) when he just lived through ours.. Babs will be back in hockeytown. Let's just hope we can sign an actually quality rh d man (no offense Zid).

    Who is the coach next season?

    If I'm them, I'd rather go play in worlds. Especially mrazek. That'd be more good experience for him.
  14. I'm am the sad It was fun cheering with all of you. Can't wait for the off season speculation.... woo.......
  15. They would get the luckiest bounce of the series now

    Griffins up 4-1 w/ ten min left. Goals from bert, aa, miele, & pulks.
  18. Good game so far by everyone but the refs. Also, who took tatars hands away? Give em back!
  19. Alright, time for marchenko to prove something!! Let's go!!!!

    Are you going to watch the game ?

    Lucky you.. we get the most inconsistent refs around. But luckily our game isn't until 11 so I can watch. If the wings go to OT though, I might not make it to my game. Here's to hoping we blow out the bolts! Score early and often!
  21. Right, at least we still have our best defender in pav. LGW!
