Sounds good. Thank you

Yes. Can't wait for those 3 and marchenko to develop. Very bright future in detroit. I want a cup or two more for the twins before they retire tho

I'm not letting go of any of those guys. Forwards are pretty set defense is where Kenny needs to spend all his time this summer

I think ehrhoff is out of the question because they are gonna want Tatar/sheahan/nyquist/mantha and I'm not willing to pay that. Dan Boyle would be absolutely perfect for this team. I want Boyle, Morris, and zidlicky. Run kronwall- Boyle, dekeyser- zidlicky, big e- Morris

Don't even get me started! Kids should have been up from the get go. Anderson needs to go as well. I'm on the fence with miller because I think he's a good pk guy and pretty good down low on the forecheck. 12 starting forwards next year need to be: dats, z, alfy/UFA, Tatar, nyquist, Sheehan, jurco, helm, Weiss, Legwand, mule, Abby. With glendening and miller as extras. Defense needs to be: kronwall, dekeyser, E, UFA top 2, UFA number 3/4, UFA number 5/6. Kenny get some damn defense

Probably gonna need 14 points or so

And that's the problem right there. That is unacceptable! Best 12 forwards should play. Jurco should be in the lineup and anything less than that is unacceptable. I'm tired of holland screwing up this team and leaving deserving players in the minors due to roster restrictions. Figure it out holland

I hope so because we are going to need them. They are the future. Need defense badly

Jurco better start the year in detroit next season

This team just allows so many deflating goals. It's honestly scary how much they let in

Also has anybody been noticing for the last 5 or 6 games that guys are falling all the time?? It's like they don't even have sharpened skates

XO maybe. I would say marchenko but he's hurt. Maybe bring up almqvist to play on the pp and be a puck mover. Gotta be better than kindl!

I dunno maybe, but honestly I can't see this team being able to defend. Boston and St. Louis would absolutely manhandle our D

Thanks. And he's right. Maybe send a message by playing the kids 25 minutes. I would also seriously consider calling up some d-men that can actually defend

What did babs say exactly?? Ya I don't really like our chances now. At all actually

Ya it is terrible. I swear to god if I here this summer that we didn't get d-men because the prices were too high I'm gonna lose it. I don't care if we need to overpay. Get some competent d-men! F*** this is frustrating

Ya him and alfy were plain awful. Legwand lost like every faceoff. The fifth goal he lost the faceoff then lost his coverage on the guy that scored. Wish babs would actually call guys out. For alfy wanting to win a cup so badly doesn't really look like he's trying

It's not so much that the save has to be an amazing save it has to be the timing! Tie game 3-3 have all the momentum, he needs to make that save

These two aren't going to lose their jobs. They are here until they retire or move on to something else. I think holland should be fired personally but won't happen

I would go with Gus the rest of the way. He's not pretty but he simply wins. Howard will never be a guy to lead you to a cup. Too inconsistent and never comes up with that big save. Tie the game 3-3 he immediately lets in the next shot. Not saying it was a bad goal but he never makes that save we need. Start Gus he wins plain and simple.

None!! Zero! Not even kronwall! Kronwall is a number 2, E and dekeyser are 3/4s the rest are a joke! This needs to be fixed. Not only do these guys not defend they can't pass. No patience, no nothing. I'm sick of this joke of a defense

Smith is terrible. Need like 3 new d-man now!! Sick and tired of this awful D! Can't pass can't defend can't do anything

This defense is f****** terrible!!

I don't think Legwand has even won a faceoff tonight
