I agree..with no continuity in the lineup and all the injuries it will be hard to get any consistency going. We are missing 6 regulars that I can count right now. After our first night 6-1 loss to the blues if you told me we would be 2-1-1 against them after 4 games I would've laughed. We are hanging in there..some nights we look like we could beat anyone..other nights not so much.

Andersson hasn't done anything terrible but he also hasn't done anything to stand out..throw a bone to someone else in GR and see what they have. While we are missing an entire 5 man unit to injury now would be the time to try some different guys out.

Never thought I would say this but big E and kindl are our 2 best d men.

I'm having flAsh backs to the way we played in our own end the first 4-5 games of the year.

I'm confused..those teams don't exist

If these are what we are considering mistakes then I'm pretty sure I won't lose any sleep tonight over them. Been a fan for 20 years and we have won 4 cups in that time and we are questioning the over protective loyalty of this franchise? Loyalty of any sort is almost impossible to find these days..maybe we need more of it?

Sweet pic, Dats uses this controller when he plays NHL 13

Good for Joey Mac, he got thrown into the fire here a few times and did a more than capable job. good luck to him in Calgary

And he made a very smart play flipping the puck in to Quick to get a faceoff and a line change late.

Luck has nothing to do with it..our goalie is stealing us a game.

Jimmy is stealing this one for use just like you need your tender to do some times....we play a good third and we can steal this one.

Been a long time since we had a right handed guy who can straight up snipe.

I know Kenny always takes heat for the guys that he supposedly didn't sign or trade for and somehow it was Bowman who found him even though he doesnt have anything to do with this team anymore but this Brunner kid is something.

Not even in present day NHL was that ever charging. Great hit. The retribution was served up filthy though.

I thinks pav's head is ok

Oh the widsom lol

Calling out Datsyuk? I love this place.

Intermisson note, Tyler Myers is a healthy scratch for the Sabres tonight................................oh.............one..................can...................hope. As long as he doesn't bring his -9 game with him lol

Grrrrrrrrr............ Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive Based on pregame warmup, looks like Andersson playing today, on line with Abdelkader and Tatar; and Eaves out. Cleary skated with 13, 51.

Wings win 4-2, just looking at our injuries..we have 5 regulars out of the lineup..this team has some decent depth if and when everyone gets healthy I think Eager is out ? And the Nugent too?

- Howard back in tomorrow - Bert out with back injury - May call a forward up from GR - Here are the lines they used Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive Cleary takes Bertuzzi's spot on line with 13-51; other lines 93-40-24, 21-8-17, 20-25-22, also 37-39. https://twitter.com/AnsarKhanMLive https://twitter.com/DetroitRedWings

If Cleary starts on the top line I bet he lasts about 4 shifts. He is tooooo slow to play with those guys.

What do you think the going rate for these guys is? Have a look..come back and tell me.. Sammy is a 15-20 goal guy when healthy for 3 per..Bert is a 10-15 goal guy for 2 per..Hate to break it to you but that is the going rate for guys like that.

Where are these guys that you speak of? Suter ? We put a huge offer out for him..he was never coming here..he wanted to play in Minny..end of conversation on that one. Check out that link with the top defensive scorers on it. There isn't one guy in the top 30 that is head and shoulders above the rest. Alot of really good guys there but spending 10 mil a year on any of those guys is crazy. What? Obviously the return on investement on Colo, Sammy and Gustavsson is still up for debate because they have been injured. Tootoo has done everything they would've wanted out of him so far..he's been physical, dropped the gloves and changed the flow of games when we needed it. Bert is what he is, 3rd line guy..10-15 goals a year..good contract..good team guy. Quincey would be tolerable if we didnt give up a 1st for him..that one hurts. Huskins was an emergency guy playing for peanuts and doing everything they asked of him. Get over the Parise and Suter thing..you don't get it..they were never playing here..we offered them huge money and they wanted to play in Minny.
