what 3rd line center is putting up 45-50 points/year, and being defensively sound?

He really does do a great job analyzing these goals. I enjoy reading these thanks for the post

Stating a fact isn't conjecture, they were talking till the last minute before they made the deal. I didn't say Holland offered player x and poile declined, Holland was in a tough spot and Poile got as much as he could from Holland

Was just coming here to post the same thing lol. Very well deserved, awesome job goose, keep up the good work

They get too comfortable with the lead, then take their foot off the pedal, the opposition sees an opportunity and pressures the d leading to turnovers and then they tie it. Young and inexperienced d corps.

The deal was put in 1 minute before the deadline, there was no time left for bargains, he tried everything possible, and in the end he gave poile what he wanted, because he had no choice and no time left.

He was jumping in on the rushes, and was getting a lot of offensive opportunities

Beating the jackets in regulation would be HUGE, it would give us a bit of separation, Philly ny and montreal all losing would just be that much sweeter. The wings could potentially move up in the rankings even more if they can put a decent amount of W's on the board in these last 11

Maybe he hasn't been scoring. But he's been far from hot garbage

I love goose, but let's not jump ahead of ourselves just yet. If he can be a 30 goal guy, and around a point per game I will be extremely happy

And you said Detroit was your second favorite team? Go troll elsewhere

What happened to him? Fired? Quit? Wiping sidneys ass?

Goose is loose!!!!!

Sounds like someone is still butthurt

This is the exact reason why this team does so poorly while they have so many stars. Their coach clearly can't handle young players.

while I agree it was nice to win three in a row, I really don't think this is thread worthy, especially since they play tomorrow too, and you could have just posted in the gdt. You seem to be turning into the axe, just posting daily threads for the sake of posting them.

It was a good deadline acquisition

Nyr win 2-0

You mean aside from the April 2 game when we play them right?

Yup I hope he hits it for a few reasons, 1. Ken Holland left him to rot for the first 1/3 of the season. 2. Some strange people around here who think he would be a borderline 3rd liner on most teams. 3. He would have 30 goals in less then 60 games.

Good call

I agree. Even if he retires early and we take a small hit on the recapture penalty I won't be upset. He's been good for the majority of this year, and if he's hit a cold streak right now I won't be too upset if it means he'll turn hot again going into the playoffs, most fans of other teams will tell you he isn't someone you want to play against

Per nhl power rankings from yesterday, note the respect given to babs in the last sentence. 16. Detroit Red Wings (31-24-13) LW: NR The Penguins lead the League in man-games lost to injury by a wide margin, but the sheer number of players the Red Wings have been missing at times this season has been stunning. The replacements for the injured players have gotten hurt. Detroit had a player not finish the game because of injury in six straight. And yet the Red Wings still are hanging around. If they keep "The Streak" alive, it will be remembered as one of the best coaching jobs of Mike Babcock's career. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=710436

Sounds like he's already talked to Mr. H to me

I didn't say you called me specifically racist. However you are making a very strong generalization here. I've never heard anyone say they hate pk cause he's black. I have however heard some very legitimate reasons why people doubt like him. Yes I'm sure some people don't like him cause he's black, but I think most of the pk hate is because of his attitude and his lack of self control and discipline, and he's very selfish.
