    Hrm, I get ticked, TSN says AA scored. Maybe I need to call them out more.

    Just checked TSN online. Still no shots past the halfway point? WTF. How big of a backpack does Coreau have to wear to carry them? Grossly unacceptable. Wake up guys, and Let's Go Wings!

    They've been doing better with getting points recently, but they need to get regulation wins, especially against division teams to gain the most ground possible. If they lose, at least keep getting the OT point. Miller is going to be fired up. Hopefully Jurco actually produces. He can complain all he wants, but he has had plenty of opportunity and not taken advantage. Sheahan needs to get off the 0-fer slump already. Doing a late dinner at a friend's house so I will likely miss most of this one. I haven't been on much recently due to real-life stuff but I have been here in spirit. Let's Go Wings!

    Drew Miller on Waivers

    Considering the Wings picked Drew off the waiver wire years ago, it was a pretty good pickup, IMHO. No way Ken would have gotten anything for him in trade though. Rival GM's seem to have played more hard ball with Kenny than other GM's I think, because they don't want to be the one that sets the Wings up for another huge playoff streak (or extend the current one). We can thank Drew for his service, but to throw Kenny under the bus for not getting return on him is, IMHO, quite misguided. If he gets picked up, good for him, and best of luck against the other 28 teams he faces. If not, he can help to develop the next generation of PK stalwarts in Grand Rapids.

    Drew Miller on Waivers

    Surprised to see this, but pleasantly so. Drew has been a good team player and a strong asset on the PK. However, I am glad Kenny rightly is not displacing someone better suited from the top 12. This could bode well for the future if Kenny is now thinking this way.

    Wings @ Leafs Alumni Game

    Domi ties it, no pun intended. Three shots for a buck.

    Wings @ Leafs Alumni Game

    Tough break on that bouncing puck for Legace. It seems a bit weird to see Kozlov in number 13 again after years of Pavel. I remember when Kozzie wore it, but to me the number is synonymous with Datsyuk any more.

    Wings @ Leafs Alumni Game

    Currently out running errands with my wife but I hope to get home for at least part of the game. Hopefully our alums kick the crap out of the Leats alums. it is kind of ironic that Shanny is playing considering his current position. I don't think an own goal on his part would be accidental (as he rips off his jersey to reveal a Toronto jersey NwO style), but I don't see it happening. Let's Go Wings!

    Same here, any detailed recap is appreciated.

    Not a soccer guy, there was no youth soccer in my hometown until I left for college so I didn't get into it. I vaguely remember hearing about that and thinking it was highly lame.

    Fair point. The Pens announcers are terrible, but an extended listen to Jack Edwards is enough to make one want to self-Trotsky. If he was Finnish, it would be a scene from Spamalot....

    12/3 GDT - Red Wings @ Penguins - 7:00 PM EST

    Visiting friends who have two kids going to college in Pittsburgh. I'm enjoying the Wings lead thus far when Inam able to check the box score on wifi. Here's hoping it holds up. Sorry I wasn't around for the last game, was dealing with a medical situation in the family. Let's Go Wings!
  13. Wings didn't re-sign him, went to LA on PTO, then to their minor league team on invite, then signed by Calgary on a 2 year, 2 way deal.

    Let's cash in on the PP and get it back on track. Let's Go Wings!

    Abdelkader with two assists on the night.

    Let Neilsen get us some curly fries. As far as others, maybe Tatar and Larkin? Howard out, Mrazek in? What happened, too many goals scored? I hope Jimmy is all right.

    Great effort by Abdelkader to strip the puck.

    Neilsen with a shorty to tie it!

    How can so many things be bad?

    You guys are hitting it on the head in a big way. Maybe, just maybe, the actually using Sproul correctly will continue and start a trend... one can hope, anyway. I just hope that the guys who have been misused haven't suffered irreversible damage to their confidence.

    I will be on the road heading home from visiting family. Hopefully the boys actually give Jimmy some goal support and pull out a win. Let's Go Wings!

    I agree with Kliq, Axe, Beerzeench, and kickazz.

    What Are You Playing?

    I am still playing a lot of The Division, but I picked up Gears 4 if you ever want to team up, Mabus,

    AA out 1-2 weeks with a Knee Sprain

    The Mantha callup could be a good thing. Hopefully AA is back quickly and is as fast as ever.

    11/10 GDT : at Red Wings 3, Vancouver Canucks 1

    I had to laugh at that. I agree. As I said in another thread, I think Petr eased up mentally after he was anointed as the starter. How about the job new goalie coach Jeff Salajko is doing thus far? Damn shame when you can't enjoy a great performance just because it doesn't fit the narrative of your online persona. You are hitting the nail on the head, kickazz.
