Pens are the beast of the East it seems, they are toying with the Wings

False thread delete please

...

Jup we are playing the Pens I turn the game on and they score..

thanks

I thought Sakic is the VP there and Roy is acting as a player / GM type of guy ? But yeah I agree and I think Babcock has done everything to earn that title and/or trust.

Great getting to play Crosby & company in pissed off mode after they've lost to Philly u o

If that happens it would be horrible: Losing the best owner in all of sports nobody else in Detroit has that much money and passion for the game as Mr. I. I don#t want to go from a loaded owner who is also a huge fan to some business first penny pincher. Also nobody in Detroit has enough money to buy the Wings, if the Isles are worth north of 400 million the Wings should be easily around 600 ALSO if the team is sold it needs to include a no relocation clause!

Agreed I've been a huge kronwall fan thanks to his his but they've become to rare

I would do backflips on my balcony if he ever comes, great player

1. B. Smith he looks much stronger and has been awesome 2. DD - way to go Danny our most reliable defender guy is just a machine 3. Kronwall - solid start so far. 4. Glendening - plays solid D and is starting to get involved into the physical stuff too love it 5. Quincey - competes hard I like that 6. Kindl - better than I thought but only because of... 7. Ericcson - wow does this guy need to get his game together, slow breakout passes, give aways and looks a bit sluggish

It's simple: he will get a longer look at some point this season and when he does, Weiss needs to take the chance and run with it. At least we aren't as screwed as Boston with that Seguin for Ericsson trade *rofl*

Hopefully the Goose is fine and doesn't miss too much time. Get well soon I would love to say some payback next time we are playing the Canadiens sadly, it won't happen. as for the PP: I really don't know why people were expecting a different outcome this season ? The puck-movement just doesn't come quick enough from the defense and that's not the fault of Kronwall because he just isn't a PP quarterback. Smith is trying his best (kudos to him) but obviously, it's too much to ask for at that point in his career. Granato has had Crosby, Ovie, Letang, Backstrom to run the powerplays that's a completely different situation. Running the PP is one of the most difficult tasks for a defender because you have to lightning quick passer and be aware of your priorities ( defense first) in a couple of seconds that's incredible hard to accomplish. Lids made it look so easy because well he just was that good. I'm sure if this continues XO will get a chance but don't expect magic right off the gate from him. The problem yesterday hasn't just been the PP it was also the faceoff and getting outworked by the montreal smurfs in the corners << can't happen if your powerplay isn't clicking. Goaltending and defense played a good game but big E better gets his game together soon he has struggled more than usual so far.

If some enforcer lays him out he would have earned his pay check with just one action. Give the rats and divers are reason to lay on the ice. Also if they want to stand in front of the net, make them pay a huge price for it. Matt Martin would have been a nice signing, adds sandpaper and can play hockey. This defense needs more grit that idiot deserves a lesson and one he won't forget when the habs are playing the Wings again. Love seeing Thornton's water bottle incident again good stuff! Julien has been right with calling them out the habs are a bunch of diving *******, tough behind the refs and safe for Price, Prust and maybe Markov full of rats.

Learn what the term maybe implies...before posting some of the usual "kipwingers always right know it all stuff"

Maybe because the coaching stuff expected more from him (including pre-season ?). ) It doesn't matter how much money a player is making if he doesn't perform Babcock won't play the guy, simple.

No, the style of play is not fine. The speed of the young guns is great and all but: nobody is making life miserable when other players are standing infront of the net, screening Howard or the monster. As the old saying goes you gotta pay the price for doing that. One of our defenders simply has to take exception to that and check, box, cross-check sthe other player out of that area. Bad calls are going to happen and at least to me that one was much worse than the one against Anaheim (after reading Frasers comments I actually can see the point the refs had there...), but Price jumping into Abdelkader ? *lol* whatever there's nothing we can do about that now but I know one thing for sure, hopefully I don't have to watch the Habs winning a Stanley cup soon because they for sure don't know how to celebrate with class (doesn't surprise given how some of their players act...)...learn to celebrate with style instead of that stupid over the top celebrations.

Enjoy it ******* rats

Dallas crushing the Canucks so far

WTF?!

Atta boy Pasha

I still can't believe how bad that trade keeps getting worse for Boston might be the worst deal post lockout lol

Nope I've read over 3 as 3.5 could be more could be less who knows. Also keep in mind is just the media speculating, maybe they are closer or further apart.

Yup needs to simplify his game a bit.

Wer need more traffic infront of Price
