number9

Does anyone watch a lot of Griffins and know how he's scoring these? Is he straight roofin missles? Or is he just hunting rebounds in front of the net? For the first time in his career he has less PIM's than number of games played, and is doing his best scoring. Maybe he's just not in the box as much anymore??? He only has 8 assists though, which is a bit concerning. Truly skilled players usually have a bit more than 8 in 54 games.

shame

That was before that there cap existed I tell ya what

I mean, like, this is pretty late in the game, but, Holland builds through the draft, that's his strategy, so yeah, idk what you expect?

A checking line also has to be defensively responsible, as well as not put us on the PK after its shift

Personally I'd like to add at D, and maybe to the front office. Grab Ehrhoff from Buffalo and add RichDG and Degra55 as special advisors to the GM?

Just cause he'd rather pack lips and crush handles of bacardi then text supermodels back, doesn't mean he has a bad attitude.

They didn't do a very good job with the faces. Datsyuk goatee?

You're copy/pasting has nothing to do with my comprehension of the English language. You're quoting others and not even including their names or quotations. If I reread the entire thread every time I wanted to respond to you to see if you're quoting someone or not, then yes, I would be a clown. I suggest downloading TapToTalk like most other mobile phone users. It's been out for a while. Finally, the evidence that Franzen truly is lazy! Thanks! What about Sammy though? He's lazy too right?

I say we go for the Heater reclamation project. 50 in 15?

By all reports all he is a John Scott who can actually skate. Strong as an ox. tough fighter. hard slapper. fast as can be.... 0 offensive ability besides the hard shot. terrible defensive reads. takes loads of bad penalties. We'll see. I'm not overly excited about this one yet.

GREAT READ +1 The Huds stories are awesome. Before this if I met Hudler in public I'd probably razz him a lil bit... now I just wanna party with him lol

Yeah, my money is on a whole lotta nothing this deadline

He's literally a carbon copy of Ericsson, just older and declining. I like that he's a swede, but I just don't think another defense oriented guy is what we need. IMO we need that quarterback that can move things up the ice when Kronners is on the bench.

Classify you as optimistic lol??? Maybe inconsistent with a roller coaster of opinions, but definitely not optimistic. Nope, I don't agree. I've never considered Sammy lazy, nor have I considered Franzen or Cleary lazy. Have Sammy and Cleary been CONSISTENTLY lackluster? Yeah, your spot on there. But being lackluster in no way means one is lazy. Cleary and Sammy both tried their best, but theyre old and washed up... hence why one is on the 4th line and the other is in GR. - Mr. Dictionary

Anyone got a stream for the womens game? pleasssssse PM me. Thanks in advance.

I'm beyond thrilled that most of LGW is starting to reject the "Franzen = Floater Therom" (not saying you ever drank that kool-aid). I've always been a Franzen defender and the amount of flack he takes from Wings fans makes me feel ashamed to be a part of that group. There is nothing harder in hockey than scoring goals. Guys like Ovechkin and Stamkos do it on a nightly basis, and that's what makes them incredible. Is Franzen a Stammer or Ovi? No. He goes through the same droughts and hot streaks that most other goal scorers go through. Would Babs dress a "Lazy" player? There's a reason Franzen plays a lot of minutes for him.

As long as he keeps shop wreckin he'll have a place in the NHL. He does that very well. But yeah, other than that he's just an overpaid sack of meat.

I agree that Kadri and Subban are as cocky and arrogant as they come. I personally don't mind it, but yeah they'd be a terrible fit in Detroit.However, IMO Yakupov does not fit that bill. He definitely has some entitlement issues, but he doesn't play like an arrogant cocky individual. He shows a lot of emotion when he scores... So what? He's no modest Datsyuk like we're used to, but who cares? He's a young intense player. I have no problem with him celebrating now then. If I was 20 years old and scoring goals in the NHL I'd be hammertiming it the whole way back to the bench

His "attitude problem" is that he's young and cocky, and he can back it up. He's no Yzerman, but he has the confidence of a winner. He plays with his heart on his sleeve, and he has a very vocal, in ur face, heart. I have no problem with that. The guy is far from a stuck up or Avery type.

Only sellable extra pieces we have are Andersson. He'll probably net a solid 7th rounder.

Bickell as well, and their were rumors the wings were interested in him, god bless KH and gang

Seriously though. Marchenko and Voynov are the future of team Russia's D. The interesting point is the type of talent certain countries produce. Russia = forwards, Swiss = D-men, Finland = goalies, to name a few I see

? He's a Chelios Shanahan type. He certainly has attitude, but I wouldn't call it bad. You wanna talk bad attitudes bring up a guy like Semin

Dictionary time! Lackluster = lacking in vitality force or conviction Lazy = unwilling to work or use energy Don't be a fool dickie. HSJ was in the room when holland and his scouts discussed ryans lacklusterness. That's why she quoted him directly in her tweet.
