U.s.a lost to Belarus and larkin -2 As much as I wanna see larkin athanasiou mantha tearing it up in the nhl maybe it's best for larkin to stay for one more year? He's turning 19 in July , can play one year in the ahl and then nhl hopefully at 21? You guys think he should go with Grand Rapids next year?

As long as they bring up cups they can celebrate any way they'd like Still remember game 7 stl in double o.t when yzerman roofed it top corner to win and he's jumping up and down like a mad man Celebrations can be fun and memorable

I'm not sold on stafford ... The way this team gets better is having it's younger players step it up and forget putting pulkkinen on the bottom 6 ... He needs to play top 6 and I'd prefer it personally if he doesn't play the point on the powerplay ... Needs to play closer to get his quick release off If we could add a legitimate top 6 guy who can score and be physical that would be ideal but I don't see anything great on the market and I don't know if anyone will trade us one without a hight cost I don't wanna see us trade any of athanasiou mantha larkin holmstrom bertuzzi And as for the d if we could add a Phaneuf that would be ideal and then I'd wanna see marchenko/ouellet up and see them split the games and then getting some more in when the injuries are bound to happen ... So 50-55 games per? The kids gotta start getting some games in , or else we'll be really in for it when we have 3-4 rookies in the lineup at the same time ... Jensen will be ready for games as well and I'm still hoping ryan sproul can turn out to be the ppl guy were looking for after 1 more yr in the ahl

They'll just delusionally say they would of beat us f*** the bolts man Going for the caps/nyr winner ... Looks bad for ny right now if they lose but with the king in nets that's the one team I could see coming back down 3-1 along with Chicago

Man yandle Has brought the rangers absolutely nothing ... Thank god we never went after him Rangers gave up a ton for him

2 nice goals by pulks let's hope he turns it around in the nhl and can be a 25-30 goal guy

Oh well

Anyone think it might be worth a shot to go after adam larsson from nj? He was a 4th overall pick 4 yrs ago I remember hearing they weren't too happy with his development ... Still only 22 and guys liked hedman chara developed later .. If he doesn't cost much could be worth a shot ?

What's iirc? As much of a piecepf s*** people might think lucic is ... Having him in detroit would be huge

Iirc? Was thinking wayne simmonds would be nice but flyers are for sure mostly to buy out lecavalier

Phaneuf would be a 30-40 pt guy so if so,e of you expect a real number 1 dman you'll be dissapointed ... He'll help solidify the defense and will be a good all around d Kronwall Phaneuf would be a real good pair

It all depends who's available when it comes to detroits pick, and who's available in the second round ... I'm sure there are good defensemen available later we just have to find them As for mantha he's had a disappointing season no doubt but he's still only 20 and missed training camp and had an injury , I'm sure after he's played this season in the ahl and realizes it's not junior hockey he will train harder in the off season and play a lot better next season To early to give up on mantha

Except for glendening's break out year this season and proving his worth to the wings every single one of Those signings were a bust Maybe minus alfredsson but he was at the end of his career

So what's going on with sproul? Is he turning out to be a bust mow since he got benched again? Has to be disappointing since he's a big body and I figured he'd be a good ppl guy for us for years Least ouellet and marchenko will be nhl guys for sure

0% chance Phaneuf gets dealt for his full contract to any team Leafs will have to suck it up and pay part of his salary

I'd feel way more comfortable with mrazek facing a ton of shots than howard

Might prevent us from getting someone incase mule comes back so we don't get handcuffed? Haaa can't believe I wrote that ... Holland getting someone in the off season lol

The weiss and mule contract especially with his cuncussion now really hurts ... 9 mill wasted

To be honest id prefer for us to add another 1-2 big body guys upfront now than wait till trade deadline unless it's someone too good up just have to go for since at the deadline the prices will be just ridiculous I know we can't predict injuries but the fact is we gave up janmark for someone who barely played I believe we got a ton of depth and guys we can recall in Grand Rapids incase of an injury for a few guys ... What I wanna see happen is us add a guy or 2 upfront who are big bodies who can skate and hit, obviously scoring goals would help but just a guy like that would help + gotta think/hope jurco will be better and others like sheahan

Agreed ... I do think it's almost a certainty Phaneuf will end up here ... Grand Rapids win then Babs will travel for game 5 with holland and I'm sure a lot will be said on that trip Babs also said he got into an argument with his wife ... Can't help but think that had to do with the mention of Edmonton (reminds me of pronger and his wife lol) Seriously doubt his wife will give the okay to go to Edmonton and spend -40 days over there ... I'd say there's no way he goes there Only teams I'd see Babs leaving us for would be a San Jose/Pittsburgh/saint louis type situation

Don't think they'll be as good as zetterberg or datsyuk but then again who is? Some People think star forwards and elite number 1dmen grow on treesKind of bugged me hearing Babcock say that ... Go look around each team and see how many teams have 2 elite star forwards upfront That being said it's not like were f***en chop liver like some people seem to think ... Would a 50 goal scorer like ovechkin be amazing here? Sure but I'd rather have 5-6 guys who can score around 25 goals than one big guy Nyquist +Tatar can do that .... Abdelkader after this yr has shown he could be get 20-25 goals a few more times Gotta believe a few out of larkin mantha athanasiou holmstrom will be 20-25 goal guys ... Yes nothing's guaranteed but they got all the tools Pulkkinen and sheahan can be 20-25 guys .... Jurco if we didn't screw up his development might be able to get back on track Sure nothing is guaranteed but detroit are far from being over .... All we need now is to add a few solid veterans and dmen in the 26-32 age range to mix in with the kids And if Babcock doesn't believe in our team then good riddens ... As good a coach as he is he's always had the luxury of having star teams , here and in canada so that surely helps out any coach to win He leaves , we got Blashill who knows how to push our prospects buttons to get the best out of them Redwings will be better than okay

Ward will get close to a million raise ... I'd personally give him 2 yrs maybe 3 but I'm sure playing with ovechkin and backstrom and seeing how good he fits in washington I don't suspect he will leave and will get 3 yrs around 12 Sucks cause I think he's the kind of guy we need .... Seeing nyquist and all the other smallish forward going for pucks against Boyle and tb's other big bodies a 230 pd body at 6'2-6'4(can't recall his height) that hits a lot and excels on the playoffs is what this team needs

Lol ya knew It was false hope with the power play late ... Had a good chance just before that Ya canada should win for sure ... Shouldn't even be close ...just tried a ticket for fun

Lmao wow ... Just wow Was gonna take Czechs but switched to sweden cause of the defense ... I'm done anyways needed them to win In Regulation time lol It's ok did a ticket with other stuff so didn't bet much

I'd give ward 2 yrs 3.5-4 ... But my money's on him resigning with Washington
