    10/15 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Panthers 4

    We get boxed out in their zone, our defense pinches in our zone. Bad bad bad bad. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

    When does Datsyuk come back from injury?

    Blashill tinkering with lines after Tampa loss

    So let's get this straight Dickie, Abby only scores 40+ points because he gets to play top 6 but then when it comes to Jurco (who has been a bust so far in the NHL, realistically speaking) you're talking about how he would play "decent" if given a scoring role. Even though when Jurco was given scoring role at different times, he didn't do anything with it. So because you like Jurco, it's okay to give him more opportunity , but because you don't like Abby, let's use that fact against him?

    Lapointe also played with Stanley Cup winning rosters. Abdelkader played with a declining Zetterberg and a ankle/knee injury prone Datsyuk.

    Pulkkinen claimed by Minnesota Wild

    In regards to size, say that to Tyler Johnson lol.

    What's your point? It hasn't been year 3 for yet. What if Abby scores 19-21 goals and 40+ points again? Will you concede?

    Pulkkinen claimed by Minnesota Wild

    It's important in terms of comparing prospects. That is, player X that is more successful than player Y in the AHL is probably raising more eyebrows than said player Y.

    Pulkkinen claimed by Minnesota Wild

    I'm not saying we should have traded him for someone better. That's not really possible. Why would GM trade for a downgrade? I've said before that he clearly wasn't fit for our system, a trade for someone equal in value that fits our needs likely would have been the only option for us. He was the leading AHL scorer, which is no joke by the way. But he was also a small forward that couldn't play defense. He's doesn't fit the "Red Wing" philosophy. At best, a one for one trade for someone bigger, more defensive (which is what Holland/Blash/Babs are proponents of) in the depth chart would have been suitable. But yeah, then people would have said "lol we gave up the leading AHL scorer for player X"

    Pulkkinen claimed by Minnesota Wild

    Which is why you trade him when he's waiver ineligible rather than being forced to put him on waivers and get claimed.

    Blashill seems a bit stubborn on certain things. Like dude, Sheahan is not a 2nd liner, just realize that. He wasn't even that good on the 3rd line last year. Move on. Why is Abdelkader on the 4th and why is Miller still in. He didn't really solve any problems except maybe made us happy by putting AA into the line up. Yayyyy. Sheahan and Abby need to be swapped.

    Pulkkinen claimed by Minnesota Wild

    People wanted something in return for Pulk rather than letting him go for free. And the people who wanted AA and Mantha to play wanted Ott and Miller cut instead and Helm and Sheahan replace them on the 4th line allowing AA or Mantha a spot on the third.

    Can't wait to see the reaction on our forums when Jurco gets waived and claimed for nothing too.

    Cant cause you would be breaking up the best 4th line in the NHL

    Sheahan by no means deserves to be on line 2.

    Pulkkinen claimed by Minnesota Wild

    My numbers were based on "all situations". Even if he was "above average" on 5 on 5 he was still a waste of a roster spot on the Red Wings. Which was my original point anyway. It's not hating it when it's calling it like it is. He wasn't utilized by us, he wasn't going to be and lo and behold he was put and waivers and claimed. Wasted and gone. To Minnesota. That's about all there is to it. Should've traded him while he was still waiver-eligible under Babcock for another prospect. We know our current system isn't keen on guys like him. Oh well, lesson learned. But probably not.

    Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Howe Lidstrom - Rafalski Vernon

    Has Miller EVER gotten benched? In the last few years? I mean I hope I'm wrong but the chances of it happening are low.

    That's what you think. Streak ending won't change a single thing. We'll just be a 8th seeded team without a streak once it ends.

    I will gladly take the heat for anything bad that happens. Better that than the sky falling on our players and coaches/management. This is all my fault! MUHAHAHAH.
