    Is Joe Louis Arena a tough place to play?

    Any time you can hear the crowd chants clearly over the TV, I think the stadium can be deemed a tough place to play. I could definitely hear it at multiple points last night. Great game.

    Red Wings New Arena Process

    I heard somewhere that, when they got approval, construction started right away. Stoked to see the process. Hopefully the wings post progress photos.

    Dylan Larkin on Team USA for World Cup

    In reality though it probably is between Howard/Bishop & Jonathon Quick. I haven't heard if quick has decided either way if he'll play or not..?

    Oilers win the Draft Lottery

    Lindros being a stubborn brat the way he was might've been the best thing that happened to Quebec/Colorado with how that trade worked out But yea, McDavid will play for Edmonton. They just have until he's a free agent to convince him to stay. I'm sure he'll love playing with their other skilled forwards. Now they just need better defense/goaltending.
  5. What. A. Game. And the octopi rain down from the sky. It's good to see the wings finally playing like the wings we all know and love, & go out and earn a playoff win. Mraz stealing game one could end up being the difference in this series. Gotta continue the momentum. LGW!

    Datsyuk Finalist for Lady Byng

    I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure these trophies are all based on the regular season alone..?

    Smith in. Marchenko out for Game 3

    this pair, that pair... someone tell ericsson to grow a pair.
  9. On second thought, as cool as an Abby hatty would be, I'd rather nyq and tatar get going here. I'll hope for 5-2 wings. each of them with 2, abby with 1.
  10. Wings win 3-2 with a hat trick from Abby. LGW!

    http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/wayne-gretzky-says-connor-mcdavid-is--best-player-in-last-30-years-231643402.html Now I'm no expert but Crosby didn't enter the league before he was born, did he?

    Dylan Larkin on Team USA for World Cup

    Yup, they have Giroux in addition to Matt Duchene, Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, Nathan MacKinnon, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Ryan OReilly, Tyler Seguin, Jason Spezza and whoever gets knocked out of the first round of playoffs. The last time they won was 2007 though, that's why I said they look great on paper ha. Wonder if Erie will be done in time for Connor McOiler to join his future teammates

    Sharks & McLellan part ways

    And he's bringing Stamkos and Tavares with him!

    Dylan Larkin on Team USA for World Cup

    YUP. Lots of good Canadians on bad teams.. on paper, it's barely a contest between them and the rest.

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    Congrats teemu. now put on some muscle and translate that game to the nhl By the way, little bertuzzi looked pretty good out there in their last game. He didn't look like a guy they just threw in at the end of his junior season most of the time. He was quick, hit well, and took hits/avoided them even better.. even generated a few scoring chances. I'm excited for him to continue developing after watching him play.

    Abdelkader to return for Game 3

    Until this season, I never thought I'd be so happy to get Abby back in the lineup.. let's hope he can get hot and stay hot.

    Nevermind. Took a hard hit a few games ago.. sitting out until playoffs as a precaution

    What's a defense anyway?

    ECQF Game 2 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Tampa Bay Lightning 5

    "@AnsarKhanMLive: Babcock said he anticipates using same lineup for Game 2 "at this time." So Abdelkader not ready."
  22. Wasn't sure where to post practice updates.. but it sounds like Abby is progressing toward playing but probably not until at least game 3.. @AnsarKhanMLive: Abdelkader skating again today in a gray non-contact jersey." "@AnsarKhanMLive: Lines same as Game 1 Helm-Datsyuk-Zetterberg Nyquist-Sheahan-Tatar Weiss-Andersson-Jurco Miller-Glendening-Ferraro" "@AnsarKhanMLive: Abdelkader and Pulkkinen rotating in. Cleary is not skating." Defensive pairings also the same

    Franzen on IR

    "@AnsarKhanMLive: Franzen also skating with team but admitted two days ago it's the longest of long shots that he's back this year." I'm sure it's minimal but it's probably a positive sign, at least for his future health, that he can at least skate a little..
  24. Seeing all the nhl team banners in their rafters makes me think.. the bolts have as many red wing banners in their rafters as Stanley cup banners
