    Sproul and Ouellet recalled from Grand Rapids

    I was refering to comments made by managment, specifically Holland, who during a radio interview after Marchenko got hurt mentioned he was further developed and it was unfortunate he got hurt because he would have, most likley, been the first call up. Typical Holland talk though where he states something like that but then says "most likely" or "possibly"

    Sproul and Ouellet recalled from Grand Rapids

    Both players played their role well. Makes a little more comfortable heading into the offseason with the terrible UFA of D men available. One Note: its amazing how Marckenko is ranked higher on the wings prospect board, with how solid these two played. Excited for these guys to see some time sparingly next year.

    Play em or rest em?

    Definitely should rest Kronwall, Alfie, Howard after tonights game. Dats needs to get in game shape and the kids should play unless they have any unknown public injuries

    Nyquist since Datsyuk's Return & Unnatural NHL Development

    I'd be worried if he was not contributing on the ice. but he is still making an impact on the game. just not putting it in the net.

    The 2014 Grand Rapids Griffins Offseason Gameplan

    I agree with Marchenko. He will have the easiest transition because of his style of play, look at Lashoff. Marchenko played with men in the KHL and plays a steady stay at home game. Sproul will project more on the Smith time frame. Oullete is the wild card. He is steady enough to make the jump soon but plays a better two way game then Marchenko. Either way hard to not be excited about these three. I just don't see Almquist making the jump, I hope I am wrong. and then Mattias in a couple years. ahhhh

    Jack Adams award discussion and speculation

    It would be fitting that the year babs passes Jack Adams he wins the award (i have no idea if they are the same Jack Adams)((random thought that hit me during the broadcast last night, too lazy to research it))

    Draft Rankings 2014

    The new draft rankings by NHL are out. Seeing that Det is most likely going to end in 7th or 8th in the East gives a decent idea of who is might be targeted. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=712854

    Fedor Malykhin

    When is the KHL season over? Interesting to see with Jarkrok gone if KH signs him now that we need a #1 C prospect.

    4/8 GDT - Red Wings 4 at Sabres 2

    I love that Gus cooling off means he is scoring a goal every other game.

    Is the Real Brendan Smith Finally Starting the Show Up?

    I think Smith is three years away from essentially being Kronwall. Keep in mind this kid finally has played a full season's amount of game this year. His experience level is actually pretty low. He skates well and will improve his decision making with experience. I would love to see him paired with E when he gets back. A Kronwall, DK; Smith, Big Rig top four looks nice. or you could switch DK and E, but I like the idea of an offensive minded dman (Kron and Smith) paired with two stay at home types, DK and E.

    4/8 GDT - Red Wings 4 at Sabres 2

    this game scares me. We need the win, but buffalo is not icing their full team. Just dont play down to their level.

    Lightning sign GM Yzerman to contract extension

    I have zero problem with Yzerman re-upping. The only way he comes back to the wings is when KH is done. Until then he is not going to take a demotion. It'll be a happy day when he takes over, but that day is still a ways away.

    Flyers' Rinaldo to have hearing for hit on Ruhwedel.

    bum work

    Detroit says Weiss "Not Getting Better", likely done for year

    This solidifies IMO that legwand should get resigned. Resign leggy to a decent 2yrish deal (DO NOT give a NTC) and then if Weiss ever actually gets healthy, move someone to a wing or trade either of them in a package for a veteran dman.

    Glendening signed to 3 year extension

    To say he brings less than Callahan is a bit naive. Callahan was up for one game. Glendenning came up and locked down a spot. Yes, Cally fights in the minors, but that does not mean he brings more than Glendenning. Glen was putting up points in GR and Cally is now doing the same. Points in the minors don't give a solid idea of a players offensive ability unless they are dominating the league.

    Glendening signed to 3 year extension

    Hard to argue with the decision here. The cap hit speaks for itself. He basically is making minimum when earlier this year we put him out to shut down crosby. Is he the best player on the ice, no. Does he add heart and grit, yes. Reminds me of draper, but I think he will get moved to the wing. Basically I think he will end up being a more infuriating, cheaper, Drew Miller.

    Riley Sheahan - Underappreciated and Overshadowed?

    the one person who matters, babs, loves this kid so i dont think those in the position to under appreciate him do. but we as fans.. maybe.

    Gustav Nyquist Appreciation Thread

    IMO he is becoming what Babs wanted fil to become when he moved him to wing. Nyquist is the definition of a coaches player right now. Babs told him in order to be effective he needs to shoot and now Gus fires the puck instead of looking for the pass almost everytime. and now he's producing....

    Gustav Nyquist Appreciation Thread

    I apologize to the forum for my language and I hope the bleep softwear does its job. because Gustav Nyquist is the ******* man.

    Next Seasons Needs/Team Future

    Looks pretty good. I think there is a good chance legwand is resigned however.

    What is everyones second favorite team?

    I'm too biased of a wings fan to like any other team. However, I never wish ill will upon Stevie's lightning, unless it has an adverse affect on the wings. However, I love to follow the griffins, so if that counts..

    Ovechkin and ES

    100% agree. If Ovi backchecked and threw his weight around in the D zone it would create more O zone time for his team. It might sacrifice a few breakaways but in general by playing harder D he will have more offensive zone time.
