Does anyone know if he plans on retiring?

I keep seeing that argument against Franzen about him being hot in meaningless moments, but I'm not sure where it came from. I remember thinking last season when he was red hot "thank god Franzen is scoring". I don't have the numbers to back this statement up but I remember having the thought that his hot streak last season was clutch. Then when he slowed down Nyquist rocketed forward. My point is I just don't know of "he scores in meaningless situations" really has any validity. If someone has the numbers that say otherwise that's cool, I'll accept that. My feelings on Franzen are mixed, I'm definitely not trying to blindly defend him.

Wasn't Kindl's contract signed after the lockout, making him ineligible for a compliance buyout?

Why? I don't really like that trade. Cleary won't replace Franzen's production. I don't understand how we could sign him unless it's super cheap and he's buried in the ahl. Did we learn nothing from the Nyquist fiasco last season?

Did you watch Vanek much in the playoffs? When that guy wasn't scoring he was a detriment. While my feelings on Franzen are mixed, I do think he's pretty good defensively and a better playmaker than he gets credit for.

Thanks, appreciate the info. I always see the tweets being quoted and am always thinking I want to get updates like that too. Anyway I followed that zetterbergfund. Gotta love the captain.

I don't have a twitter account but wouldn't mind signing up just for red wings related stuff and to follow this. Can anyone tell me who they follow for regular Wing updates?

I'm not sure here but I don't think he meant to say ovie was diving, like trying to draw a penalty, but just used the word "dove" as a way to explain ovie trying to avoid the hit. Anyway glad he's okay. Don't particularly like how he plays but there's no doubt he's extremely talented.

Yeah this is what confuses me. Did he make some catastrophic moves this year?

Yeah I didn't mean I agreed with it. I just found it funny that he was so hyped up last year by some of the media and suddenly we're talking about him being fired.

So by "come in and take somebody's job" he means "hope someone gets injured so we can actually get a look at you and give you a shot"?

Wasn't Shero just last year being touted as one of the best if not the best gm?

Who's this Goostof Newquist cat? He's pretty good.

I came to terms with the deal and accepted it shortly after it happened, but if he doesn't resign I'm going to say no, and we should've just called up Jarnkrok. I say this because in another thread it makes it sound like he won't be resigned.

The whole team was cold. Bruins just shut us down.

I like Bert over Alfie at this point. I doubt whatever Alfie's problem was (I'm assuming injury) is fixed yet.And also, I still have faith! Let's go wings!

This. He just can't keep up, which makes me kinda sad because I'm a Bert fan. Really should've just rode it out with Jurco and jumbled the lines. It's not like Jurco was detrimental.

Smith has looked great. Gustavsson was great. The beard looked great. Kindl is an absolute detriment. That is all, I'm going to go sob quietly in the other room now.

Because slow and steady wins the race?Edit: Andersson is out I'm assuming, but I really wanted to say that.

This. As soon as he was taken off the kid line both him and Tatar looked worse (Tatar not as much).

He's been a turnover machine lately. Bertuzzi I mean. Hope you're right though.

This was a tough answer. I like him when he's healthy, which he never is. I put yes but am actually rather indifferent at this point.

For f***'s sake. I'm a Bert fan but come on. "We need to not play into their game and use our speed" by putting in molasses incarnate? Bert isn't our PP woes answer, especially if we count on him for those give and go entries.

These lines for sure. Really want Jurco back on the kid line and Legwand playing more.

Kindl is the only one for me.
