    Jakub Kindl waived

    Kind of crazy they actually put him on waivers, but after how much praise Marchenko has received lately I kind of figured it would happen. I'm kind of surprised they couldn't get a 7th round pick for him, or a borderline bust prospect or something, but still, good stuff.

    Official Detroit Lions thread

    Its looking like the lions will hire the patriots old director of scouting for the gm spot. Seems like a smart move, lets hope Megatron comes back for at least one year(after renegotiating his contract)

    Ken Campbell predicts Stamkos to Detroit blockbuster

    I actually believe we have a shot at him when he hits free agency, so I'd rather just wait for that. But I would probably do this deal as it was laid out, but I'm also on the fence whether or not I believe stammer will actually be worth that money, because he has seemed to decline quite rapidly.

    My 3yr old niece is basically a live action pig pen, and my sister bathed her for the first time in two days after she was sick and she started crying saying "my smell is gone!" Cute, but a bit disgusting,

    Not every team had that amount of money to spend on players, and a lot of the big name guys came here to team up with the crazy amount of big named talent already on our team to win a cup.

    That would be awesome.We may get to see larkin in it this year though, that'll be cool. It'll just be a picture of him in the hospital bed taken by an 18 year old nurse/model.

    He'll get better, everyone comes back a bit rusty after coming back from injury.

    I miss Murphy too.And I love Mickey, even though he's a really big homer. He's an awesome guy, but ozzie just bothers me for some reason.

    Right Handed Players

    This isn't true.There's actually a bunch of studies on this, the "correct way" is whatever feels comfortable for a kid when they start playing so they don't have to learn another skill from scratch. And the result of that article I read, was dominant hand on top is better for stick handling, dominant on bottom is better for shooting. Also most Canadians shoot left handed, most Americans shoot right... My right hand is more dominant than my left, but I can't shoot left handed, although I used to take a lot of faceoffs with my stick turned around. Going with what feels most natural is a lot smarter than forcing a kid to use his strong hand at the top just to abide by a fictional rule.

    I think he'll go this year, then sit out the nespot few and we won't see him in another all star game till he's 50.

    I was out with my niece for the first, can I get a summary from anyone?

    Official Detroit Lions thread

    Agreed. Either our defense is amazing and our offense only puts up ~14 points, or our defense is awful and our offense miraculously remembers they can be amazing. If he falls to us wherever we end up drafting this year, I do think we should draft Jared Goff. That way he can sit and learn for a year or two while we figure out if Stafford can win games when they matter, and if not then we'll have a developed ready to go starter for when we trade Stafford. Unless Joey Bossa is still on the board, in which case we'd be dumb not to pick him. Or if they're both gone, nkemdiche, or oakman would be good consolation prizes too. But Oakman could potentially fall to the 2nd round, which would be amazeballs if we could snag two of those.

    Damn did he ever fleece boston.A top 10 scorer in the league in Seguin, for a fading Eriksson and Brendans brother and some other random stuff. (Iirc morrow and some 6th/7th d man) Ha. Can you imagine if boston would've kept seguin, kessel*** and jumbo joe? They'd end up losingoing krejci and probably tukka, but damn. It doesnt seem like Chiarelli was ever thinking about that teams future. Edit: Just looked it up kessel got them the pick that they used on seguin, but still, center depth of Seguin-Thornton and Bergeron as their 3rd line center would be unfair. Theyd

    Bravo, Smitty

    He's not consistent enough to be considered our best defenseman yet...Finally looking like a top four guy though, thank the lord.

    I may talk badly about our aging stars sometimes, but they're carrying on the legacy left to them... And it's not like they have clear cut heirs to the throne like they were in times past. Yes we have larkin now, but we just found out he's our future #1c, and kronwall, for all of his faults, was/Is a much better dman than Deke is when lids retired. We've got some stuff to figure out going forward, but ditching what has made us successful the last 25 years is not the way to go about it,

    When I was in squirts, we were having practice and a kid got hit in the groin during a front of the net drill with a shot from the top of the circle. And he wasn't wearing his cup, so my coach stopped practice and told everyone who wasnt wearing to go put it on. (They were uncomfortable at first) and I was one of four kids left on the ice while everyone else went to the locker room. Two of those left on the ice, we're girls. And the assistant captain, who was my winger and best friend. (We had just started wearing ours after discovering it was more fun to cup check eachother with them on) Good times.

    Does is it save to buy hockey sock online?

    Go to a peranis, or just order them through his teams home rink... Usually youll get better prices than online unless you're buying more than just socks. If youre looking for practice ones, Peranis used to have sales on solid colors for like 5-10 bucks a pair, or talk to his teammates parents, most hockey families have multiple kids playing and they tend to have a small pro shop gathering with old gear somewhere
