Great effort really didn't expect that

The atmosphere sucks get the suits out and real into the joe

Damn should have had that one

To me he is one if not the best 3 line center in the game do happy goes him

Both Gus guys are impressing me tonight

Wooooooooooow Gus wow

Of course Filpula is scoring in his game back. Already don't like the give aways from the defense so far. Oh would have loved s fight between Kronner and Callahan

Well yeah but in their prime or prospects :-)

Beat me to it, wanted to so something similiar so here it goes for the Wings: Red Wings: vs Lighting vs Bruins vs Sabers @ Habs @ Sabers @ Penguins vs Hurricanes @ Blues italic = overtime loss so + 1 point So that would be + 10 points putting this team at 92 on the season could be enough but it will depend on how the Caps and Leafs are playing from here on out.

Monster will have a tough task ahead of him Stammer and a for sure motivated Filps isn't something to take lightly. One thing is for sure the Wings need to come out prepared otherwise the Bolts are going to put this game away early in the first.

I get what you are trying to say I really do but you know desperate times are calling for desperate actions and once desperation is getting the best out of you...rational thinking takes a backseat. Holland himself said their goal was trying to get defensive help or do nothing but then further injuries happened and Wings had to change their plans. It is what is now but I will say this, I PRAY Jarnkrok becomes a star so a mistake like that won't happen twice.

Great and if he doesn't get his way he is back to the KHL...yxeah a real upgrade on Jarnkrok..

This is still different Jarnkrok wa the only prospect with top 6 center potential, nobody said something like that about Mathias.

My beef with Holland and this trade is the same, first he mentioned we aren't going after rentals NOR trading youth and then he goes out and does exactly that. I don't know how thrilled or happy Legwand is but he for sure doesn't show the type of effort people were expecting/hoping to get out of him constantly. This team is fighting for their playoff hopes with a fantastic kid line but the vets need to support them, kids can't do it all alone. My second beef is the way this team is build: there are too many europeans and not enough hardworking NA guys andd I truly believe having more good ol michigan kids would help getting the fanbase excited and more "into it" again. Don't get me wrong I love guys like Tatar, Nyquist but I think the make up of the team should be a bit more NA styled COUPLED with highly skilled euros. Mantha, Sheahan, Dekeyser are good starts. The best Wings teams always had a good mixture of NA guys mixed with some highly talented euros. So I'd rather use Athansiou, Janmark and Marchenko as trade chips in order to get a solid top 4 pairing guy. Its so hard these days finding and enjoying local clubs with local kids, my hometown team is a good example we are still good at it but having way too many foreigners on our roster and our league is just bush league compared to the NHL powerhouse.

Don't count out the Leafs yeah they are two points back, but Toronto is also on hell of a streaky game they could easily go from 0 : 8 to 6 : 0 it will be a tight dogfight with Toronto, Columbus and Washington till the end no doubt about that.

I'm confident with Monster in the net, he just gets the job done . Also IF - mind you very big if - this team makes the playoff a huge part of credit has to go to him he bailed them out a lot of times. Howard had a good game give him some rest and let the monster get some playing time.

Not gonna happen, I like the BlueJackets they are a hardworking honest team.

Call me stupid or whatever but I don't even know what dancing with the stars - since when is Avery a star anyways? - is. As for Brodeur future Hall of Famer maybe the best goalie ever so he has absolutely nothing left to prove especially concerning a guy who made a career by being a DB on the ice and not answering the bell, when Clarkson pushed him like nothing.

Another original 6 battle and another one I have to misscertainly man good times damnit They Canadiens don't scare me, shut down Vanek and Pacrioetty and their scoring is non existant, Wings just need to find a way to put one behind Price.

Not surprised for whatever reason Columbus just has the wings number. Leafs and Washington both lost too, so the fight just became tighter and the jackets are back in it.

will be a very important game and the team better be ready for some pushback in the third, which will definately happen.

That would be a great combo Backes creates the room and Pasha pulls off his usual magic

Every major, politician who agrees to pay for such things should be sued and canned immediately. That aside I will really miss the JLA sadly I've never been there but all the memories hopefully the new building has some magic moments too.

I'd be easily willing to pay him north of 6.5 for 7 years he is that kind of a beast. Heck Backes even overpowers some other pwfs with his sheer strength he. Get him as a top 6 guy add Orr and Gazdic to our fourth line and that lineup becomes a pain in the ass to play against

Yeah grind and energy lines are one of the most underappreciated lines in hockey. Backed may be the best powerforward after Lucic. He is everything someone would expect from a pwf I cringe everytime he is one the ice against our players but I am not blaming him and I love Backed style of game. Now he is also humble just a perfect hockey player
