    Buffalo's tank just got reinforcements

    If Babcock stays Blash is probably out of here. If he is I would love for him to go to Edmonton and get those young players to play to their true potential. Imagine of a player like Hall would've been in the Detroit system. He would be responsible yet an offensive firepower

    3/8 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Bruins 5

    For the type of player he is Smith really shouldnt have the most penalty minutes. I could understand maybe abdelkader or glendening cause they're in choppier situations buy I guess we aren't exactly a play on the edge team

    Do the Nyquist!

    Are those shirts a thing?

    Pulkkinen sent back to GR

    Put Franzen on the fourth line instead of Weiss
  5. Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson 'banged up,' status for Friday's game to be determined | MLive.com (via http://ble.ac/teamstream-)http://teamstre.am/1Ma7fup Says they plan on putting Kindl in if he can't play. Why wouldn't you play Marcenko? Get as many righty lefty pairs as possible

    Ericsson "banged up" might not play Friday

    He'll take the franchise record for seasons as a wing cause they'll be no wear and tear playing maybe 30 games a year

    What's with the "giving players hamster names" obsession?

    People are going to call Zidlicky Zids and it will anger or confuse many

    Couture suspen.....no wait, just fined pocket change

    It also could be the fight within the NHL between keeping the rugged enforcer days of the past (maybe not so long ago) and the skill, speed, and finesse game the red wings play and what could be the future of the game. If the league punishes for roughing up a "weak" team and they'll send a message about the future of the game.

    Both FLA goaltenders injured in same game

    I could've sworn it happened but I could be crazy
  11. Look at that defenseman holding a stick in his right handEdit: Just in case someone questions, I do realize Zidlicky is at the back of the photo

    Both FLA goaltenders injured in same game

    I remember years back when Draper had to dress as a goalie. I'm pretty sure that he actually played a bit

    Pulkkinen sent back to GR

    This argument is exactly the same as about Mrazek. Both are very successful in the AHL but, depending on who is posting, need to develop further on the AHL or be given a chance to learn the NHL game by having as much time as possible on the Wings

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    I like the acquisitions but I'm kind of wondering if Nill gave Holland the my old boss deal where it wasn't the bargain it could've been. I understand we traded prospects buried in our system but that doesn't mean they aren't any good or don't have value. I think the pick should've been lower

    2/28 GDT : Red Wings 4 at Predators 3

    This road trip did show we have the ability to compete when we make sure to play our game which seems too keep teams from sticking in our zone for too long

    Couture suspen.....no wait, just fined pocket change

    Agreed. Look at the spear to the crotch by Lucic on DeKeyser

    Couture suspen.....no wait, just fined pocket change

    Could someone post a link to the video? Missed the game and want to see it for myself
  22. They're reporting he's out three months now. Thats about double the original projection

    Is Jimmy Our Playoff Goalie?

    Maybe not immediately but if Mrazek shows he can be a consistent NHL starter if he's given the chance next year I can see Holland trading Howard at the deadline

    Zetterberg leaves after 2nd Period; "upper body injury"

    http://www.tsn.ca/c-mon-ref-varying-penalties-for-punches-1.214957 Not sure if anyone posted this one so I will. While it does a good job with the mentality of the NHL department of player safety it is skewed in saying that Zetterberg asked for it because he tied up Benn
