I'd put Abdelkader there now. He isn't playing like a grinder anymore, he's making offensive plays.

Don't know if it's a good idea to throw Weiss immediately against Top 6 competition. He will need some time, probably at least the rest of the season, to adjust. I also would change Abby and Jurco. The former is playing great right now while the latter isn't consistent enough to be Top 6 material yet.
Giving also Dats is back I'd roll with :
Nyquist - Zetterberg - Franzen
Tatar - Datsyuk - Abdelkader
Sheahan - Weiss - Jurco
Miller - Glendening - Helm

You've never been married have you?Haha

Sometimes you make mistakes....JJ trusted his parents, Fedorov trusted a financial advisor and gave him millions and millions to invest...that didn't work out too good for Sergei. He thought he was hiring a professional and JJ thought he was in good hands with his parents. Greed kills and nobody is immune to now and again.

Agreed.
When I first saw the headline I thought "what a moron." But reading more about it and hearing what his parents did puts it in a whole different light for me.
I guess you can blame him for being naive and not picking up on the problem earlier, but it's his friggin parents. The guy is likely busy playing hockey and trusting that his mother will be handling things and looking out for his best interests.
Not having an agent didn't help. Agents are often evil, but a necessary one in the entertainment business.

He's an idiot? Really?

I can't speak for anyone else, but the last person in this world I'd expect to screw me over financially is my mother. It's one thing to be awful with money, but what they did with his money goes beyond being financially irresponsible - they milked the **** out of him. They treated him like a cash cow and ran his debt into the ground. The amount they spent/lost has more to do with their greed and taking advantage of a situation than it does with making smart decisions. Disgusting on their part.

I feel like that's the opposite of streaky.

The first rule of disney.com is to not talk about disney.com
It's an inside nickname joke only a few members know, which is what makes it so great. For the record, nobody ever actually types out disney.com, but rather the site automatically changes certain initials to it. So it isn't a dumb nickname. What we type is a valid nickname. The fact that the site changes it to disney.com is hilarious.

About to hop on the tunnel bus. Go wings!!! Catch up with you guys after the game

Time for Adblock Plus - Jersey Edition.

Finally get to play the Cleary drinking game again tonight. Every time he falls down, I drink.

I'd like to see Franzen get a crack at being the 2nd line C with Nyquist and Tatar on the wings.

I'm actually really starting to get behind this tank idea. I'm not sure how well the tracks work on ice, but that thing would be a helluva big body in front of the net

Red army? Reds clues? Red rover Red rover send Zetterberg over? Butt pats? Chuck Norris? Franzen is lazy? Quincey sucks? Fire Holland? Tank the season? Wait I think I started reading thread names now...

Ridiculous.
Jurco and Nesty are not playing better then Franzen before he got hurt.

LOL Ok Dickie, you're right... It would be impossible to think that a team could have two power-play units, one consisting of 4 forwards and a defenseman and the other 3 forwards and 2 defenseman...
How difficult would it be to practice with...
1st PP Unit
Net
Abdelkader
Franzen Datsyuk Zetterberg
Kronwall
2nd PP Unit
Net
Nyquist Sheahan Tatar
DeKeyser Smith

Tatar totally ruined Monster's egregiously blown coverage save percentage on that goal.

Well his goals that come from in front of the net percentage is awful. All the goals scored are from in front of the net.

Howard sucks

I agree with your point, but worst case scenario would be we starting letting in shorthanded goals.

3 comments deep and nobody has mention that Glendening isn't a defenseman yet. He's a center.
