    PK stands tall again. Blow it open, guys.

    Seems like a Spinal Tap ish vid could work. These Wings Go To 11....

    Keith Jones talking nice about the Wings, shocker.

    Sammy scores off a nice feed from Emmerton, then shortly after Pav announces himself to the east. Wings did a great job killing a long 5 on 3, killed their own PP. Overall, a pretty good first pd.

    Nice keep in by Weiss but to no avail. First PP of the year killed. That first unit is gonna be sick. The second needs some work, imho.

    Sammy from Emdog... Nice. Pavs adding to the tally. Looks like Emdog doesn't want to face waivers again. Honestly, if Sammy can play well, people might back off. This is a year where he is playing for the rest of his career. He needs to show he can last a season and contribute after his injury run last season, so he may have a fire nobody, myself included, expected. Hopefully the boys keep the pedal to the metal. Convert the PP!

    Alfie and Weiss are going to rack it up this year. Once they break the seal, look out. They are gelling nicely, imho.

    Agreed. The boys are buzzing, it's like they weren't even fazed by the PK and they want to ring up a victory for Drew over his brother.

    Great chance as the PK expired. Kudos to tge PKers, and looks like the arena DJ needs to get Van Halen's "Top Jimmy" in the rotation for the saves ASAP.

    Good save by Jimmy closing the five hole.

    Now a 5 on 3. Time for the PK to step up in a big way. A shortie would be a nice FU to the refs and a great opening salvo for the Eastern Conference.

    Some decent pressure at times. First penalty. Zetterberg gets two for defending himself.

    I have my church choir rehearsal from 7-8, but the dvr is set so I can catch up quickly. Hopefully I can wrap a couple of minutes early. Let's Go Wings!

    Emmerton on Waivers

    As do I.

    Emmerton on Waivers

    Thanks for the clarification. So much for that thought. Still, I think he's likely to clear.

    Emmerton on Waivers

    Of the guys "on the bubble" I'd assume Emmerton is most likely to clear. Also, wasn't there a rule in the old CBA (not sure if it is in the new one) that if a player is picked up on reentry waivers that the old team was still responsible for half the salary cap hit wise? If that's still in place, I could see that as another reason for him to be on waivers.

    9/28 Pre-Season GDT : at Toronto Maple Leafs 3, Red Wings 1

    Is it wrong to hope it's the opening lineup of any team other than the Wings?

    Hit Stat Idea

    It makes sense, but it would be very subjective, and not every hit from the "big guns" is like a freight train. I could see the scorers keeping track of the stat being huge homers and not crediting the away team fairly.

    Torres out with ACL for the Sharks?

    Seems to me someone is saying Kronners is as dirty as Torres and Cooke. I'd have to disagree with that assessment.

    So about ESPN and their hockey "knowledge"....

    Why not the HAMPUS system, where our prospects would be utterly dominant?

    Amway-Red Wings end partnership

    Evil pyramid scheme is much better than Monsanto, a company which, imho, personifies evil incarnate.

    Canucks' Weise and Kassian Have Monday Hearings.

    They both should get more than Pulks did.
  23. It's definitely a weak one. A shorty would be nice right about now. Indeed. It's happened too many times over the years.
  24. Amazing how a couple of defensive lapses can cause a team that controls most of the game to be behind on the scoreboard.
  25. Fair enough. Can I say he puts the "ass" in assassin? That power play was poor. Andy and Nyquist seem to be a bit more confident with their puckhandling though, imho.
