kindl and lashoff are absolutely terrible together.

is this the worst defensive pairing in the NHL? wow the middle of the ice is wide open against us

Wow great sequence. Abby doesn't look out of place on that top line

this 2nd unit is an embarrassment

yeah i would be upset with that call

smith desperately trying to take a penalty and almost kills jimmy

what is smith doing there

I believe there's two sides to this story and the truth lay somewhere in the middle. She said they never spoke for a year then reconnected and he asked to be set up before them first going on a date. Sounds like he isn't interested in her at all and she is upset about it. I'll reserve judgment until more facts surface but I wouldn't be surprised if this is another case of ******* be tripping. Block your number/Twitter if he's harrassing you. She was willing to date him again so he couldn't have been that annoying. Then she tries to humiliate him on Twitter. There was nothing wrong with the text of his she posted either

What's wrong with asking a friend to set you up with one of her friends? I'm sure she has non-pornstar friends. Sounds like she caught feelings and blew this all out of proportion. There's nothing wrong with setting up a date that way when he's out of town after a game. Better then going out to the bar every night trying to bring something home

it doesn't look that bad tbh. She looks old as f*** and he probably wanted to date somebody closer to his age, nothing wrong with that. I think it just pissed her off, doesn't sound like he was doing anything that ridiculous

I think Howard tries to out wait the shooter but when they get off a quick shot it makes him look bad

Welp, Weiss is done. If he achieves anything wearing a Red Wings jersey I'll look at it as a bonus. Hopefully users will stop whining about him not being in the lineup when we go through a scoring drought. Sucks we're wasting a lot of room on him but what can you do. Work with what you got. Nobody could have predicted this (well, not to this extent at least) Holland bashers will have some more firepower- Hossa>Franzen, Sammy, Weiss that whole dribble

Much worse teams then us have better power plays

Is our PP percentage behind Buffalo?

Robert Lang's goal kept us alive against the Sharks in 07. The last time we would ever beat the Sharks

It definitely sounds like this is some form of punishment, which is not good. Ah well, at least he will be able to play real games. Hoping for some progress

He felt fine enough to practice. He left early, fine. But there's no reason that a little tightness won't feel better in few days. Atleast don't rule it out almost a week before. A little tightness is a day to day injury

How can Franzen wake up one day with a sore groin and automatically assume it will take a month to get better. That's a day to day injury for everybody else on this team

Jeez that sore groin is serious hopefully he's ready for the playoffs

Is this because Franzen is back? Will be nice for him to actually play real games and get more minutes

Smith hasn't shown anything more offensively in the attacking zone then DD, E and Q. He looks good this year but most of his chances come from the rush and on 4 on 4. Kindl and Kronwall are the only guys making plays in the offensive zone and sneaking in. Smith needs to do that and I'm sure we'll see him on the PP in no time

It seems like Babcock is grooming Smith to be a top pairing Dman. If they just gave him PP time before he figured out the defensive side of things then he probably would never have learned. Now look at him, he's pretty damn solid defensively. I think as soon as Smith looks like a threat to score night in night out he'll be slotted in the PP. He's been a part of like 3-4 good scoring chances all year. Everyone on the defense needs to be better on the attack i.e make a concentrated effort to get pucks through from the point. We're a team that loves to have traffic in front of the net but we can't shoot from the point? Our offensive attack has a huge gaping hole in it

Flyers only had 3 good scoring chances and they all went in. That's how it goes sometimes. That PP goal is almost impossible to defend, that's a pretty lucky goal. The other two were errors that can be fixed. That being said, the flyers scoring chances were a lot better then ours even though we were out shooting them so badly. If we got that game to 2-0 it's an easy win. The defense is no threat to score or make plays. I've heard of teams having a defensive minded gameplan but their D is still able to get shots toward the net. It's ridiculous and unacceptable for a defensemen, even if you are a shutdown guy, to not be able to put pucks on net or make passes on the rush. Ericsson is the worst. If his saviour kronwall isn't open then the play is dead whenever he touches the puck

The goose was loose and now he's missing

I hope Holland can acquire some fire power sooner rather then later. This team is doing a lot of things right, they just need some support.
