    Update on Holland's search for forwards.

    I'm fine with a cheaper fighter. I just don't want Norton. And believe me, we're all in agreement that Marty is currently overpaid. I just think people get why we would get LaPointe mixed up with why we would get another scoring winger. esteef

    Holland backing down?

    Right. Shanahan was of that ilk, and he left. Did Holland bring in anyone to replace him? Hell we needed a couple of players like that even before Shanahan left the way he was playing... I feel better. esteef

    Holland backing down?

    I agree. I meant selling GMs ask for everything just to see if anyone is that dumb or desparate to pay it. Holland is used to this and is not fooled. He's a buyer every year... Guerin and Bert specifically aren't the problem. It's Holland knowing he needs a player of that ilk and still not getting one until everybody needs one is the complaint. And if we didn't have money, why were we in the race for Dumont, Carter, Nolan, etc.? peace, esteef

    Update on Holland's search for forwards.

    Right, and the original comment was more about Holland not addressing the team's needs in general when necessary, than it was about the decision not to get Guerin. The Guerin situation is just an example of it. Just think, signing Nolan before the season started might've been enough all this time and we wouldn't even be looking for a tough scoring winger right now. Anyway...

    Yep. Ask for everything and see what you get...same crap every year. esteef

    Update on Holland's search for forwards.

    Correct. They must be taken in context. So simply looking at a player's +/- doesn't accurately depict the type of player they are or what other factors can contribute to that stat. That list of players (and there are a lot more past -14 I just didn't feel like listing them all) just shows that anyone can have an inflated +/- and still be considered a good player. Looking at the numbers doesn't tell the whole story. Furthermore, I really couldn't care less if Marty comes here and doesn't score one goal. As long as he takes care of the rough stuff, that's all we really are expecting out of him. If he chips in a goal here and there, all the better. The other scoring winger, like Bert or Guerin, will have more pressure to come up with goals than Marty. esteef * edited for speliing.

    As they do with +/-... Martin LaPointe -14 Sheldon Souray -14 Jamal Mayers -14 Adam Foote -15 Matty Nordstrom -17 Rob Blake -23 Darcy Tucker -13 Alex Ovechkin -13 Jonathan Cheechoo -12 I guess all those guys suck too...

    Shanahan Leveled

    Exactly. Much like Hordichuk will do if we see Nashville in the playoffs. BTW. Hope Shanny's alright. ((((esteef))))

    Nashville vs. St Louis

    King just beat Hordichuk down! It was awesome. They even stopped midway through the fight, talked some smack, and then King put him down. just sayin' esteef

    Best first post ever.

    What happened to our rivalry with the Avs?

    I hate the announcing on that video. The guy makes it sound like Roy is pummeling Ozzie with rights when in actuality only about 2 or 3 of them landed. What a homer! I feel better. esteef

    2/14 GDT: @ Dallas Stars, 8:30pm

    Nice to get a win, but as someone said, I expected more intensity following that Philly game embarrassment. And I thought Dallas had Barnaby and Morrow? Those guys playing would've provided some nastiness for Dallas and the game might've been different. Our boys hung in there though and got it done tonight in exciting fashion, but I fear Anaheim or San Jose in the playoffs will not be such a "quiet" affair. Stay on Target Kenny! ! ! esteef

    Dallas is a team we should be pounding on. And yet even after the Philly game and everyone on every hockey show talking about how weak the Wings are, They STILL don't even start this game with any chip on their shoulder. Markov will hopefully pick up the hitting a little. C'mon boys!

    Lilja really bangs out there today, after hearing s*** for the last few days about us being weak and him turtling and he's the biggest guy and he won't fight and...well you guys know. Wings - 6 Stars - 0 Goals: Lilja, Lilja, Lilja, Lilja, Lilja and Zetts. C'mon man! esteef

    Owen Nolan

    The funny thing is, the tough guys in these scenerios would play on Maltby's line. You know they've probably been wanting to kick his ass for years. Now they'd have to stick up for him! Ha! esteef

    Craziest Deadline Scenarios/Deals

    At the trade deadline Holland announces that he didn't make a deal because Greg Johnson has been deemed healthy enough to play and will carry us, with grit and toughness, through the playoffs! Chew on that! esteef

    MLive: Lang could be dealt prior to deadline

    Agree. Don't want Roberts, but someone like his old self. peace, esteef

    MLive: Lang could be dealt prior to deadline

    So far Holland seems to have his head in the right place. We'll see what actually happens though... Cheers! esteef
