If the Wings are missing the playoffs I do not care if both are replaced. Start the rebuild then and while doing so have some fun like Calgary

Dirty play ? Abdelkader gets absolutely grid at not one guy on that ***** built team took an examption or went after the guy. The only one who opened his mouth was Tatar, once of our young guns . Back in the good ol days Downie would have had something to say about stuff like that. This is team is the most boring team in the whole league when they are getting blown out, no emotion no fire..like I said crosscheck, hit, fight and just create energy for the next game but no, nothing. The score is bad but I am more pissed off that this team does not stick up for eachother, to put it simple they are not a bunch ready to go to war for each other.

Montreal, Ottawa, Washington, Toronto are winning *sigh* I hope Peluso and Thorburn are going to destroy Mr. spotpicker Weber

shutout by Chris ******* Mason of all goalies also I am sick of all the Monster bashers Howard played like absolute crap for 80 percent of the season if you think he would have done a better job in front of this defense, you are in for a big surprise once another REAL contender is going to destroy this team no matter who the goalie ist.

haha big hit no response... Holland your pusydolling teambuilding is not working any longer change it or be changed. unreal

Trade this entire line forth line for Calgarys please

It is called showing heart, something this team needs. Start to crosscheck, fight, hit the game is over just some damn emotion

This team wins against the Kings although the goal should have never counted, beats the Blackhawks and then blows a 4:2 lead against the Panthers and follows that with a 0:4 against a struggling Flyers team. Thanks god the east is so *easy*

TAKE the ******* body there our players are standing around and watching Giroux score....

No way he can do that, no ******* way if the Wings are missing the playoffs you can bet he is going to hear a few times from the owner ship. This is the off season were the rebuild has to start and depending on who is available, the Wings need to land a highprofile guy. The frustrating thing with this team is, they are playing catchup hockey and put together some nice wins but then the completely blow leads or simple are finding themselves in another losing streak times and times again. The Flyers are nt a stanley cup contender and yet they are leading comfortably

I think it will be the smaller countries and some underdogs like Swiss or Finland, who are very good just not as elite as Can and so on but winning gold would not be the same because every hockeyfan would know, that the best players did not participate

Well the Lightning just got the equalizer

No matter what this defense needs some huge improvement in the off season.

The Flyers seem to be having a lot of underrated guys and yet Holmer always trades them before they are hitting their prime, while keeping the overrated ones.

The job of forth liners is to Shut down other players Be physical Hard on the for check fight If they can chip in a goal here and there fine, but that's not required from such a line. We are talking about guys with limited icetime and payroll here. Westgarth fits that bill sorry

Luke to me is one of the most underrated defensemen in the NHL. Guy gets the job done,hits like a truck and doesn't take stupid high risk chances.

Yeah but the topic is that the NHL NHLPA might be rethinking about the sigh participations, not what happened in 1980 I know it's not easy but certainly possible

The problem with being sellers is, we don't have a lot of guys contenders would want and they are the ones willing to overpay the most. Maybe Alfie and a second to the Hawks for Bickel? Although I'm still pissed at him he provides size with is a bit overpaid but should me manageable.

They've stated the rules for this thread and if you ignore it, your post will be deleted. So I don't understand your problem.

I would like one of the Schenn brothers, Luke has great size and is a steady stay at home defenseman while Brayden would fix the search for a young center.

If players want to go they will do so, period. Especially the Russian players, if the midget says "you don't go" they are going to tell hiim f*** you if you don't take us back after the olympics we are going to play in the KHL and making more money there...which then would piss off the owner = hotwater for the commissioner.

Another thing I fear that only the Russian athletes are going to get the majority and supreme safety, what about the other countries ? I really hope, everyone will get the best possible security and safety if they decide to go there.

Bravo sir, I fully agree I'm not gonna turn this into a political thing either but that's exactly how to handle these scumbags. Erase them from planet earth at all costs. That being said, I still think going to Sochi is to dangerous and yes, if they are stupid enough to something they are done but I don't want to see athletes, who are doing nothing but competing with pride for the country having to deal with that sort of danger. Also keep in mind if more and more countries aren't going, Russia will be pissed off and starting to go nuclear against them. Also the IOC has to share some blame here you can't give the games to such a dangerous place it's disgusting that players and fans have to talk about the security instead of the games itself shame on you IOC

Nill just robbed Chiarelli plain and simple I doubt the Wings could have offered would Dallas did.

Smart decision, if I were a player I'd decline my families friends to got here and probably wouldn't go either. Sure the games are a highlight but not worth risking your life. I f***ingly hate the IOC for giving the games to such a dangerous area. If the players don't go would the NHL season continue without a break ?
