    Seeking Stadium Classic Jersey

    I am looking for a Red Wings 2016 Stadium Classic jersey. Preferably large but could settle with medium. Blank ones would be great but any other names i'll consider. No China jerseys. Thank you.

    Kronwall in the Playoffs

    You're right. 52 for Kronwall, 58 for Ericsson (Shocker). I think most offensive defensemen lead in giveaways but what disappoints me the most is that Kronwall was suppose to develop this two-way game and sadly I feel he hasn't reached his full-potential of his two-way game.

    Babcock granted permission to talk to other teams

    If he gets a say in roster control for Toronto then I see it being a possibility but I can't imagine a coach leaving a playoff team for a rebuilding team, regardless of money.

    DRW Free Agents / Salary Thread

    "You don't know what you got until it's gone" Ken Holland is an outstanding General Manager and anyone who says that he "overspends" or makes poor offseason decisions is insane. We've been spoiled and he always finds a way to keep our team competitive. Free Agency is not the same market like it was before the salary cap, all it is is a bunch of overpriced players who are looking for a new home and a raise. Sure you'll find a couple "key" players but you have to think about the nucleus of the team before disrupting it with a couple veterans. Hollands seeks for role players and that's how it should be. He made his offers, some declined and some took a chance. I don't blame him for last offseason, he tried getting right-handed shots and those who provide depth on special teams. Stephen Weiss was a Mike Babcock signing, look it up. Colaiacovo was a need, they had no defensemen! Tootoo was a body they needed on the 4th, Babcock endorsed it. Alfie and Modano=Powerplay support, look up their Powerplay stats from 2010-2014 it was a need. Gustavesson solid backup. Commer and Sammy was bad signings, he's not a perfect GM. His best signing was Brunner and Glendening. If you want to give him a star you should thank Holland for not giving Brunner the 3 year, $3.5 million per yr Brunner's agent asked.

    Babcock granted permission to talk to other teams

    Anyone that says Mike Babcock is overrated or that we won't miss him if he leaves hasn't witness an organizational collapse. Ask Dallas when they let go of Hitchcock, Toronto when they let go of Pat Quinn, Colorado when they let go of Hartley, St. Louis with Quineville..etc. Mike Babcock is the reason why we continue to make the playoffs and I believe he will come back. The only way he leaves is how much Toronto is willing give him roster control, that can be tricky.

    Zach Hyman Won't Be Signing With Florida

    I scouted Hyman when I was a scout and here's what I can say about him. Good size, shifty in the offensive zone but lacks of constancy.

    Kronwall in the Playoffs

    I still don't get why some people think Kronwall is a "#1" defenseman? I thought he thought he played not only his worse playoffs but the entire season based on mental mistakes. I've never seen a defenseman who logs the most ice time with so many turn overs in the defensive zone.
  12. So bless my woman but she recently bought me an authentic Tomas Tatar jersey from Hockeytown authentics. The jersey looks really sharp however its made in Indonesia.After reading how all authentic jerseys are made in canada and the reviews, im alittle upset that Hockeytown authentics sold a made in Indonesia jersey and not a made in canada jersey. Has anyone else have the same experience?
  13. Is anyone else annoyed with the young announcer and as soon as the wings score at home the announcer right away says "DTE Light the lamp Goal..". I get we have sponsors but I don't know any other building that does that and I've been to a lot of away games.

    Drop the announcer and "Light the lamp goal"

    I know Bud Lynch's absence has something to do with the annoyance but the announcer's voice (no offense to anyone that knows him personally) doesn't fit well with Hockey. Yeah but it's a college and they need sponsors. But we're talking about an original 6 NHL Franchise that should be using this sponsor in a different way, let alone the amount of sponsor banners around the scoreboard.

    12/28 GDT : Red Wings 4 at Panthers 3

    This team has to get their act together. You might want to get a monster jersey after this one.

    I bet Jimmy Howard is in no hurry in coming back... Bad backchecking, bad defense.

    You know you are a failing franchise when you see a Scott Gomez Jersey in the front row.

    12/28 GDT : Red Wings 4 at Panthers 3

    This game is disgusting.. Goaltender is out of position 80% of the time, Carrying the puck in front of our own goal with no hockey sense, Creating stupid penalties and were forgetting how to backcheck.

    Makes sense. Its just when you think of Wings alumni game, Demers is not one of the guys that comes to mind.

    Alumni Games...I'm confused

    For some reason Jacques Demers doesn't feel right. I get that he won two Jack Adams Trophies but he was mostly known with his success in Montreal.
