    Any tips on ways to tolerate the NBC media?

    So FSN Detroit is done for the year... Damnit. We'll miss you Ken and Mick! Onward to NBC and NBCSN. And you just know a certain Edzo will be there. How fitting for a series against the Hawks. Sigh... Anybody got any creative tips on how to tolerate the NBC broadcasting?

    What would you do?...

    Every time I see this thread title I think of Boondock Saints. "Hey! Boris!... WHAT WOULD YOU DO?... If I told you... Your pinko Commie mother sucked so much d**k, her face looks like an egg?"

    What Did Pierre McGuire Want from Henrik Zetterberg?

    "Hey Hank, can you get hockey fans to respect me?"

    Datsyuk in shootouts

    I refuse to acknowledge Jason Williams was ever a Red Wing. Wait, who is Jason Williams? The guy who had the nickname "White Chocolate" for the Sacramento Kings?

    Brendan Smith

    Can you imagine how badly the team would have struggled overall to get out of the zone if Smith played with his ridiculous over-handling and indecisiveness? At that point we should probably be thankful for the one point games.

    Datsyuk in shootouts

    You deserve a junk punch for that. Even if it is a joke. Not cool dude. For some reason I remember that Tatar's shootout stats in the AHL weren't very good but it wouldn't surprise me if I'm thinking of someone else. And they do practice the shootout every now and again to determine who should go in game situations so maybe Tatar hasn't been very good at that in practice either. I'm never afraid to harp on Babs and Kenny for their misuse of Tatar but not in this situation.

    What would you do?...

    Very true. Generally speaking though, Nyquist is one of those players with which it isn't hard to develop chemistry if you're his linemate. He's willing to adjust himself as humanly possible so that everybody can make a good impact. When he plays with lesser skilled players, he knows he'll have to control the puck a lot. When he plays with guys like Jurco he knows he can cycle and move around more. At the college and AHL level he's shown to be very aware of the strengths of his linemates.

    Datsyuk in shootouts

    It's more like Quincey's fault.

    11/16 GDT: Red Wings 4 at Islanders 5 (SO)

    I really hate some of these poor excuses for Wings players.

    What would you do?...

    Amongst the dmen, I'm honestly not sure if the secondary players can play any better this year (Quincey, Smith, Lashoff, Kindl). It's just an off to barely average at most type of year for those guys. And then what also sucks is that they don't even have anyone in GR who can do better. It just is what it is.

    GDT: Capitals 4 @ Red Wings 3 (SO)

    The most significant mistakes aren't so much with the players but rather the "Brain Trust."

    GDT: Capitals 4 @ Red Wings 3 (SO)

    Same thing he adds every game he plays; a symbol of unfathomable stubbornness and the refusal to evolve or adapt. Thanks a lot, brain trust.

    Anybody here remember when Mickey said Howie is for sure a Top-5 goalie?

    What would you do?...

    Just out of innocent curiosity what kind of alcohol concoction did you have tonight? I might want to try something after tonight's mess.

    Dammit Cleary! Hehe.

    GDT: Capitals 4 @ Red Wings 3 (SO)

    No confidence. At all.
  17. Red Wings Addict

    What would you do?...

    Haven't read the entire thread so someone probably already said this idea but I feel like the biggest move that would help is to acquire a top-4 dman to stabilize the dmen corps. But yeah, I know, "there is no store."

    GDT: Capitals 4 @ Red Wings 3 (SO)

    Not sure what he does anymore, really. He's not even at a level of an appendix in which it's useful at some point but then a lot of times you just gotta take it out.

    Cleary in, Tatar out against Caps

    Cleary isn't the hugest issue on the team right now but I still have daydreams about someone Nancy Kerrigan-ing him to LTIR. Yeah I'm a bad person, I know, but I can't stand to see that stupid #71 falling down all the time.

    GDT: Capitals 4 @ Red Wings 3 (SO)

    Yeah I kind of felt the same way. If you have a 3-1 lead going into the third you should be able to close it out but apparently they all turn into a bunch of Jose Valverdes. I really thought this team could get to the conference finals this year but that hope is definitely in a valley period right now.

    Datsyuk in shootouts

    I wish he would try a fake to the forehand and go backhand five hole. I mean, with the new goalie pads the odds of that working are better.

    GDT: Capitals 4 @ Red Wings 3 (SO)

    Can't stand the inefficiency as they stumble to get out of their own zone. They're like me when I need to go somewhere I've never been before.

    GDT: Capitals 4 @ Red Wings 3 (SO)

    Meh. The team just isn't that good. Not much confidence.

    Filppula to Tampa 5 yr $5 million

    Might sound ridiculous because it seems as if the Wings could really use him these days but I think he feels more needed in Tampa than he would in Detroit if he were still a Red Wing. He was always going to be 3rd at most in terms of centermen on the Wings.

    Cleary in, Tatar out against Caps

    I thought the fact that Helm had to start in GR to start the 2008-2009 season was unbelievably ridiculous. It's only gotten worse from there. Nothing seems to make sense anymore when it comes to prospects.
