My word. He is ugly. But I love that smile and goal.

Keep an OPEN MIND there bud Season still going. Remember what happened to Jimmy after his injury last year.

Was a fan of both of them during their playing days with the Wings, pretty sure most people were.

No reason to start the topic but since the game did honor #91.. Since the Winter Classic and this whole Hall of Fame on going events and watching Fedorov's speech and his interviews today has made me respect the guy a lot more since he left Detroit for Anaheim. I think I may be on board to retiring his jersey.

Ozie on Mrazek "There's no way Mrazek was going to let Ovechkin score tonight". In reference to Ovie surpassing Fedorov.

I cant believe mrazek shutout ovie's 15 shots

Ovechkin WTF 15 shots.

Cmon Ovie no goals for you tonight not on Fedorov's home turf.

Athanasiou has 1 goal in two games. Jurco had 0 in 4.

Hope Ovie doesn't score to break Fed's record today.

Open my self to the new world? Says one of the most closed minded posters on LGW >.> How's the Miller, Holland, Howard scapegoating been lately? (Blame Miller for all of Detroit's penalty killing woes right)Anyways, Datsyuk is in no position to start carrying other player's load (Jurco's load). Hence why Blashill is putting him with Zetterberg. We need to generate offense and we need to do it fast. The best combo's need to be laid out. We already have lines that worked in the past. And I'm not exactly sure what Jurco would bring over Helm/Tatar/Datsyuk combo - Tatar - Datsyuk - Helm was our best line last year.

Wonder what's going on in Mantha's head. Larkin in NHL since day one. AA called up.

Yes let's put the leading goal scorer on the third line and the forward and hasn't done much of anything this year on the 2nd line with our best player. Thanks Mr. Holland. Hopefully still sick.

Catching in what exactly? And what the hell is a brah? Am I the cover for your boobies now.

Zombo, i feel like Larkin's speed and high hockey IQ alone can be a good upside to the Z/Pav unit. Maybe this could be an exception to power forward rule?

AA skated on third line during practice. Thank god. I prefer that over 4th line crap Jurco went thru

Berzeench on the Smith high right now. Give him a couple days guys he'll go back to saying Smith is a failure in his usual flip flop.

No no he's been a failure already remember?

I wonder whatsup with him. His "decline" started last year and you would think it was just an outlier. Still early in the season i guessHe had a bad stretch of games in the beginning too

Ah yes the generic response of someone who doesn't have a rebuttal. Nice try Bill you're getting there, sorry it didnt workout. As for second the bolded statement. Near perfect? Hah! That might be a smarter analogy than using Athanasiou on the 4th line. Remember when you thought Smith was a failure. What happened to that?

Yea we were bad in the S/O alright. But Nyquist was definitely our best shooter. Tatar did Kane it up a bit for sure.

What's there to be busted about? You think Holland is a bad GM because he signed players that were predicted to have a decent upside? Hah. Ok. Let's put some perspective in that head of yers. Lets say we sign Danny D like EVERYONE is saying right away for say hmm 5 million a year. Let's say in 2 years Danny D ends up sucking. Now let's say we ship Howard off and sign Mrazek to I don't know, 6 million for 8 years. Let's say in just 1 year Mrazek starts sucking. Ah this is when the hindsight bias sets in. "Blame Holland! It's his fault we signed that s**** goalie Mrazek and that crappy defenseman Dekeyser!" All the while things looked great and fans were on board when it first happened. It's easy to be a player hater with some hindsight bias Mr. Berzeench . Nice try but there is no bust Holland has a job to do and things don't always work out the way you expect them to. Now what would be nice is if we can ship some of these players off for a good return.

Aren't you the GM?!!?

What? Nyquist was the second best shootout shooter in the entire league last year at 57% shooting. Tatar was 33%
