  1. I've said this before , 22,000 post of negativity, Can you imagine the things you could've done with all that time? Hugged a puppy, volunteered some time helping kids. etc...
  2. If you told me Stamkos wouldn't score a goal for 7 games and we would lose I would've laughed my ass off.
  3. Good effort, we are just a little thin up front, Cole and Franzen would've helped that alot. Huge credit to Marchenko and Kindl tonight, those two looked great. Kindl is an NHL caliber defenceman and if's he not going to be playing for us he needs to be moved for something. It pains me to say it but Z is turning into Stevie late in his career. Looks sore everytime he takes a stride. We have lots to build on here and some movable assets.
  4. Did you say SHUTOUT for Bishop ?
  5. I'd say full value for the first 2 periods but can't give full value in a 0-0 game... Just bury one.
  6. Good 1st, Love the fact we are shooting the puck ON the net and making Bishop make some saves. I feel like Helm has one of those burner rushes in him somewhere.

    Zidlicky Out for game 7- Concussion

    Zidlicky is exactly what i expected him to be, he's a gimmicky d man who looks great some night and terrible others. I'd put Marchenko back there.

    Kronwall suspended one game

    My 6 year old just said " Daddy why did he get suspended when he didn't even get a penalty?" END OF THREAD

    ECQF Game 6 GDT : Lightning 5 at Red Wings 2 - Series Tied 3-3

    We have to get way more shot ON the net, we miss the net way to much. We have to make Bishop stop more pucks. I bet we missed the net 20-25 times tonight. And I agree Gus and Z have to bring something to the table. I feel like Sheahan needs more skill on that line. Maybe Weiss as much as it pains me to say it.

    That hand is in bad shape, a couple of times he tried to stick handle is just rolled off his stick. If I was TB I would let him stick handle..or try to.

    Is the broadcast with Esposito? Him and his chump or a partner are the worst homers in the world.

    We can't complain that we haven't had enough chances to be in this game. Keep coming at em. And cut out the stupid mistakes.
  13. 24 years of being a Wings fan and this ranks really high on the anger meter. Big E needs to have a turn in the rotation and sit on the bench for a game or two. Best of 3 and we've more than proven we can beat these guys. Game on !!

    ECQF Game 1 GDT : Red Wings at Tampa Bay Lightning, 7:30 EST

    Everytime we turn it over it ends up in our net or a penalty. Our turnovers are always in the worst spots on the ice.

    ECQF Game 1 GDT : Red Wings at Tampa Bay Lightning, 7:30 EST

    2 Keys, Obviously we needs one of these 2 guys to play some good goal and if we can get out of our own end with control and not get stuck in our own end for long periods of time I think we will be fine. Wings in 4. I agree with the first 2 but the Mule has been fragile for 3 years and wouldn't make much of a difference in a series where puck control and speed could be the key.

    3/19 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Panthers 3

    It's like amateur hour around here. Almost every season for the last 23 this team goes into a funk like this. Only one thing matters. Make the playoffs. Be healthy, Get hot and have a chance at the cup. I don't give a flying f if we finish 8th.

    Statistical view of 3 on 3 OT

    I found this to be a pretty good read on the straight up stats for 3 on 3 vs 4 on 4 OT. I'm all for it as a hater of the shootout. http://regressing.deadspin.com/how-those-3-on-3-overtime-rules-would-cut-down-nhl-shoo-1692120143?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

    Statistical view of 3 on 3 OT

    I'm ok with ties also and would prefer the old way but that's clearly not going to happen. If I had my choice it would be 3 on 3 from the start until someone scores.

    Lines Thread

    Going to have to re think this now. Pav out at least 2 games.
  20. What is there to get? We picked up 2 legit veteran players and gave up prospects who are clearly not even close to playing in the NHL. We gave up a couple of picks which we can afford to do considering our prospect pool is pretty damn deep. It's all about what you can afford to give up and what you need. We needed another right handed d man and got one.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    Really hope thats not the case, he has been so good this year. The other wild card here is where does Franzen fit on this team if and when his head is right? Is there a spot? I really think Kindl is going to get moved and maybe Andersson to get us another 3rd/4th line winger. Cole is versatile and can play on any of the first 3 lines. Time will tell.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    You aren't getting it,Backman wasn't good enough for Grand Rapids to even try and force him into the lineup. There are 3-4 guys ahead of him in GR, which doesn't include guys we may sign in the offseason or already have like DK, Smith. He's probably 8-10th on the depth chart. Kenny did have his way, Bert is gone, Sammy is long gone and Cleary is about 14th on our depth chart.

    If we take on that Phaneuf contract without them retaining at least 2.5-3 milion of that salary I will puke.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    So far down the depth chart they may not play in this system for years. Got to give something to get something. Got a 25 goal scorer for a couple of C grade prospects.

    2/26 GDT : Red Wings 3 at San Jose Sharks 2

    Wow what a save. Does anyone think Jurco is skating good tonight and would look good with Pulk and Weiss. Move Andersson down to the 4th /
