    2/19 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Predators 4 (OT)

    One can only wish for this day..drinks will be on me. Also you forgot to put Howard in net..I know you love Mrazek but he can't play if he's in a different city lol.

    Howard = Average

    Jimmy has done more than enough in the good times and the bad times for this team for me to 1. Have trust in him as a fan and 2. Believe that he is an upper echelon goalie in this league. He deserves a raise at the end of the year and he will get one. Hopefully it's with us..if not he will be a starting goalie somewhere else.

    Trust you? Kind of hard to trust a guy who has some blinded man love for a guy with 2 career starts.

    No need to panic

    Exaclty..and the Sharks still haven't and won't win a cup ! Whats wrong with shooting the puck on the PP? Our PP has been terrible..shooting the puck would be a good start.
  5. What? The kid played one good game and is arguable the future of goaltending for this franchise but he was terrible yesterday..when Jimmy plays bad you blame Jimmy but when Mraz plays bad it's the d in front of him. I know I know you drink your own blend of cool aid but Mraz belongs back in the minors for now.he will get his shot.

    No need to panic

    Who's panicking ? 15 games in. 33 to go. Keep head above water. Get healthy and go on a run. Tatar has been good. I would keep Anderson over cleary in a 3rd line roll any day of the week. Nyquist has shown me nothing really. Don't care either way on that one for now.

    Notes from Saturday's practice

    - Mrazek starting Sunday - Sammy back - Nyquist sent back to GR - Monster headed to GR for conditioning stint - Mule strained hip flexor..out Sunday and possibly Tuesday - Datsyuk is 50/50 for Sunday All of these things brought to you by Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! https://twitter.com/AnsarKhanMLive

    Healthy starters the problem, Not young replacements

    Turn on Xbox>>> load up NHL 13 >>> Make 10 trades >>> Post lineup on LGW. Seems about how he comes up with this stuff. Is there still an ignore button on this site?

    Notes from Saturday's practice

    There have been very few times in my years as a Wings fan that I have either questioned Holland or Babs but this one just doesn't make much sense to me. Nyquist hasn't been that great either but his up side over Dan Cleary right now is worth keeping him here for the time being.

    Sucks to see a guy like him start to fail like this..always loved the guy and he's done alot for this team but its time to move on.

    Cleary I don't care about..Jimmy is worth 3.5 and Flip will be in the 3.75 - 4 mil range.Perfectly normal salaries for guys of their age and skill level.

    Clearly you don't because you keep posting lineups with these guys on the team when they already play for another team.

    Healthy starters the problem, Not young replacements

    This is like the 5th time I've explained this to you..Holland went at both of these guys with an open check book. They were not going to come to Detroit..end of story..it has nothing to do with the money. Get this through your head and quit posting these stupid lineups that involve Suter and Parise.

    2/15 GDT : Anaheim Ducks 5 at Red Wings 2

    Yandle is pretty close to Mike Green, the only thing about them that says defense is that it's written in the program. We just need some continuity..we need a streak of games where we can get 3 pairs playing together and build some chemistry

    2/15 GDT : Anaheim Ducks 5 at Red Wings 2

    Kronner needs to play the same kind of game he played when Lids was playing..right now he's trying to be Lids and make all these tight, cute passes and it's not his strong point. He's been bad. End of story. Tatar deserves to stay up when everyone is healthy. I don't know what we are going to do with the bottom 6...there are going to be alot of guys fighting for 6 spots. Nyquist can go back to GR..shown nothing..does he really want to be up here? We need to keep our heads above water until we get semi healthy.

    2/15 GDT : Anaheim Ducks 5 at Red Wings 2

    That has to be the most obvious statement I have ever heard..of course he's important he's our best player.

    2/15 GDT : Anaheim Ducks 5 at Red Wings 2

    What in the hell would ever make you think that they would trade either of those guys the way they are playing right now? You are out of your mind. Same rhetoric from you..I will agree that Cleary and Q are hot garbage but how can we sit the crap? We are running out of humans with a pulse right now.

    2/15 GDT : Anaheim Ducks 5 at Red Wings 2

    I think warm bodies might be the key right now..finding enough them is becoming a chore.

    Bertuzzi's continuing back problems

    No kidding, pretty brutal..and we already have one idiot already blaming Holland for this. Pretty comical.

    Babcock: Is he the right guy going forward?

    I think a huge sign of a good coach is how you deal with roster turnover and injuries. We haven't played two games in a row this year with the same lineup I don't think. Decimated by injuries and the loss of the best d man of the last 20 years. We are 7-4-2. I have never lost faith in Babs and I sure won't start now.

    Dan Cleary appreciation thread

    Making a thread mocking Cleary is pretty s***ty though I must say. I like everyone else agrees he is done but he has more than served this team well over the years.

    Time to sit Ian White

    Grouping K with Q is an insult to K. I think Kindl has been pretty decent ..not Norris caliber by any means but fairly solid. As for Q he is falling into my Dan Cleary category. Just looks lost..used to be a pretty good passer and had a bit of a physical edge. Those things are non existent now.

    Dan Cleary appreciation thread

    Tatar has been pretty decent..good jump in his step..would love to see him up with D and Flip again on the top line. It's going to be funny to see what we do if we ever get healthy or close to it. We are going to have alot of forwards.
