In case some of you missed it, Kyle Quincey stepped up big time last night against a VERY good hockey team and played pretty damned well. Probably the best d-man on the ice aside from Dekeyser. I have no idea why people are saying he's the most expendable, or that he's holding back Smith's development. The only thing holding Smith back is lack of experience and dim witted decision making, not Kyle Quincey, he's been very good this year. Also, kudos to Jakub Kindl for his minutes last night. While I noticed him turning the puck over A LOT, I had no idea the kind of minutes he logged for the first time in his NHL career. Atta boy kid. Finally, Brendan Smith. Good game. Keep it up.
-
ugh, my boy Kindl is having a hard night tonight. He's like Smith, they both need to take a play out of Dekeyser's book and skate a few strides before making the pass. Neither does worth a damn when trying to pass under pressure. On the plus side Quellet looks good. Very poised under pressure.
-
I know what you're saying, but I think you're selling our defensive d-men a bit short. Also, I think another puck mover would help fill the void on the second pp unit point where we don't have a quality defenseman OR forward to fill the spot. I'd like to see something like this... Kronwall-Ericsson Kulikov/Del Zotta-Dekeyser Kindl-Quincey/Lashoff That's a solid puck mover and defensive d-man on each pairing. Plus, then you'd have Kindl-Kulikov/Del Zotto as the points on the second powerplay unit.
-
Word around the internet rumor mills is that both Dmitry Kulikov and Michael Del Zotta are on the block. I'd love for either of them to be the puck mover on the second pair here in Detroit.
-
I'll take Dmitry Kulikov thank you very much.
-
Damn, I didn't see last night's game. Was it that bad? Anybody want to give me an overview?
-
I don't like to see boxers play hockey and I don't like to see hockey players box. I have nothing against violence in principle, or in sport, I just don't see what's to be gained from doing it in hockey.

I've got anger issues, everybody knows that. It's why I self-censor my own curse words on these threads. Yet, nothing will make me turn into the Hulk quicker than some reactionary fan claiming a guy on our team is "slow", "terrified", or like "Robert Lang" and then immediately backpedaling once called on it. If you had only said that he hasn't looked as good as you'd like, we wouldn't be discussing this. You went above and beyond that when describing him the way you did. To use your words, you "roasted him". And now you're trying to worm your way out from under it. It's nothing personal, or unique. You're just another in a long line of posters on these forums who makes up ridiculous b.s. to get under people's skins and then backpedals when called on it in order to be argumentative. It's actually pretty stale by now, but foolishly I still can't help involving myself.
-
Thanks for the advice, I don't know how I'd be able to discuss hockey calmly without your patronizing asides. Also, if you're going to claim you're not "roasting the guy" perhaps you shouldn't describe him as "slow", "terrified", and "more like Robert Lang than Filppula".

New in town eh?
-
It wasn't too long ago that a significant portion of this forum were talking about how washed up Alfie is, and then he rattled off a zillion points in about two minutes and everybody shut the f*ck up. And then they switched over to Franzen...until last night. Now Weiss...ugh.
-
Nice save Monster! x2
-
Hey everyone likes Franzen again. Surprise surprise.
-
You see our last powerplay? I didn't see Cleary out there but I did see our superstars trying to be awfully cute. You cannot blame whole bad periods on one or two guys. Top to bottom we got beat for the last twenty minutes.
-
But we're the Red Wings, we've got Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk and nobody else has any hockey players who are worth a damn. Everyone in the league should stand in awe of our two superstars and nobody should ever bother to play hard against us, so it's ok to half step around the ice and poke around the puck with pantsy little drop passes.
-
Yeah, Alfie's back on the ice.
-
He literally just said it a couple minutes ago. He may have said it before the replay, but he just repeated it, that's why I posted it when I did.
-
Ozzie calling the hit a hockey play gone bad. Everybody's thoughts?
-
Ouch, that hurts the snowbunnies.
-
Well either way, looks like Smith will be back in the lineup real soon...ugh.
-
I wanna see that replay, if his head changed level before the hit there won't be any suspension.
-
I sure would like to see the Wings score enough to make Roy have a sh*t fit over some innocuous happening. Watching him act like a jackass in the face of defeat is one of the only truly enjoyable things I've got in my life.
-
That's because nothing ever happened between the two. Darren McCarty and Stu Grimson's presence deterred Lemieux from taking any liberties whatsoever. Yeah, I went there.
-
Do they have Twitter access in Vladivostok? That's clearly Commodore's biggest talent.

Yeah, he's playing like an absolute beast right now. It'll be fun to watch if he can keep up a similar pace for much of the season. If we can keep spreading out the offense, and especially if the second line can get sorted out, I believe he can.
