Red Wings Addict

Pierre is ripping the s*** out of the Capitals team defense right now, haha. He definitely does not have a shortage of criticism.

You know you love it. More addicting than nicotine I bet.

I don't see why the NHL can't have the Lokomotiv logo painted on every helmet or something like that.

To you and me, sure.

The TIgers, probably.

The league needs to make a small patch or paint a small emblem on every helmet or something. That was arguably the worst day in the world of hockey.

No TV and no beer make Homer something something...

One of my favorite Kronwall moments: "Did you see what he did to Dany Heatley? ... I just wish I was lined up against Kronwall." -Ryane Clowe Later on in that series... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weFx9DMiros And actually, earlier on in the year... Can't wait for the next one!

Hudler gets a hat trick and Jonathan Ericsson gets a Gordie Howe hat trick.

I wonder if Smith gets semi-injured early that they'll call him up just to get the serving started.

He doesn't. Whatever's bothering him is still there and he just has to fight it. At least, that's the impression I got from that one interview he did with the Swedish media about a month ago. They asked him about his back or whatever and he said, "I'm not 25 years old anymore" or something like that and then claimed that it doesn't bother him significantly. As a fan, I personally don't believe that for a second. However, Z can't think that way otherwise the injury will really kick his ass.

... What the hell? Those are all just flat out wrong. I have to admit that Crosby makes more than an honest effort in his defensive game. He fights hard on the backcheck and is overall a damn good defensive player but higher defensive awareness than Datsyuk? And Lidstrom a weak shot? That's preposterous if that includes accuracy. If it's just power then yeah, he's no Chara or Weber. But in terms of accuracy Nick is still as good as anyone if not better. And Datsyuk only a bit above average in stick-checking? The same Datsyuk who racks up the takeaways in which for one year singlehandedly (imo) won him a Selke? Helm... Seriously?

I guess, hehe. Btw that wasn't me who negged you but I plussed to make it even.

Zetterberg: 73-80 GP / 69-75 Pts -- I think Z will be over but not by much. Datsyuk: 74-82 GP / 72-80 Pts -- Over but not by much. Franzen: 67-75 GP / 50-60 Pts -- Just about. Cleary: 70-75 GP / 40-45 Pts -- Bear will be a little over. Holmstrom: 68-75 GP / 37-45 Pts -- Under. Bertuzzi: 68-75 GP / 45-50 Pts -- Yup. Filppula: 72-80 GP / 34-40 Pts -- Over but not by much. Hudler: 72-80 GP / 41-50 Pts -- Yup. Helm: 75-82 GP / 28-36 Pts -- Over but not by much. Eaves: 65-70 GP / 20-25 Pts -- Yes sir. Abdelkader: 70-80 GP / 19-25 Pts -- Over but not by much. Miller: 65-75 GP / 18-24 Pts -- I agree. Emmerton: 50-60 GP / 10-15 Pts -- Sounds reasonable. Mursak: 35-45 GP / 10-12 Pts -- Reasonable. Lidstrom: 75-82 GP / 50-65 Pts -- Somewhere in there. Kronwall: 65-75 GP / 37-45 Pts -- Mid forties, definitely. Ericsson: 65-75 GP / 14-20 Pts -- Teens for sure. White: 75-80 GP / 30-35 Pts -- Safe bet but I think he'll go higher. Stuart: 70-75 GP / 20-25 Pts -- Yup. Commodore: 67-75 GP / 15-18 Pts -- Yup. Kindl: 48-60 GP / 10-15 Pts -- Over. Howard: 47-52 GP / 2.50-3.00 GAA -- Enh... Yeah. Unfortunately. Conklin: 30-35 GP / 2.60-3.10 GAA -- Yup. McDonald: 10-15 GP / 3.10-3.50 GAA -- Probably.

His off season training was no joke. Maybe we'll see him do this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omGWjiwxcTE But it's probably more likely he'll try this...

Will this finally be the year that Nick Lidstrom reveals himself to be the leader of the real race of Artificial Intelligence? "I am Nick Lidstrom and I am here to take over your planet you filthy humans... Don't act as if you didn't see this coming. I know you all must have seen iRobot..." "Uh... No, Nick, we didn't... Well, I mean, it was on FX the other day but you know how TBS is with their weekly Office mini marathons."

Whaaa??? Eva's head just exploded.

This might help in terms of numbers. I stole this from another forum or blog or whatever. These are supposed to be "fair" estimates based on how the player has performed in his career or in the past few years or during his time with the Red Wings or whatever. Do you realistically expect each player to be over or under these numbers? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zetterberg: 73-80 GP / 69-75 Pts Datsyuk: 74-82 GP / 72-80 Pts Franzen: 67-75 GP / 50-60 Pts Cleary: 70-75 GP / 40-45 Pts Holmstrom: 68-75 GP / 37-45 Pts Bertuzzi: 68-75 GP / 45-50 Pts Filppula: 72-80 GP / 34-40 Pts Hudler: 72-80 GP / 41-50 Pts Helm: 75-82 GP / 28-36 Pts Eaves: 65-70 GP / 20-25 Pts Abdelkader: 70-80 GP / 19-25 Pts Miller: 65-75 GP / 18-24 Pts Emmerton: 50-60 GP / 10-15 Pts Mursak: 35-45 GP / 10-12 Pts Lidstrom: 75-82 GP / 50-65 Pts Kronwall: 65-75 GP / 37-45 Pts Ericsson: 65-75 GP / 14-20 Pts White: 75-80 GP / 30-35 Pts Stuart: 70-75 GP / 20-25 Pts Commodore: 67-75 GP / 15-18 Pts Kindl: 48-60 GP / 10-15 Pts Howard: 47-52 GP / 2.50-3.00 GAA Conklin: 30-35 GP / 2.60-3.10 GAA McDonald: 10-15 GP / 3.10-3.50 GAA

Still lazy. Still sucks.

Yeah really. So jealous of you all. Not sure what I'd like to see, except for, of course, a win. Last year's home opener kind of messed up my expectations for this year. So many short storylines. -First of all, that goal between the Euro Twins made me think that maybe they're not dead after all. -Modano, hometown boy, scores in his first game and on his first shot I think. -And then, you know, not much else... Except for PAV'S GORDIE HOWE HAT TRICK!!! WOO!!!

It's not an old pic. It's just an old jersey. Or prop if you will. The players didn't have to bring their own and yadda yadda.

Yup. I just got that pic off facebook a few days ago.
