    1/18 GDT : Sabres 4 at Red Wings 6 (Z w/Hat Trick)

    I enjoyed how the red wings collected themselves and dominated but I with McCollum would've been tested more to see what he can do. Or at least face more shots to inflate his stats.

    Hey I'm hoping he dominates and doesn't make this the reverse of last night

    1/18 GDT : Sabres 4 at Red Wings 6 (Z w/Hat Trick)

    I guess it's kind of good McCollum gets a chance to show what he can do. Maybe at least can become a trade piece. Still not a good way to start
  4. Let's forget Yandle and get Doan for Franzen

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    I've seen someone post something saying that Kindl hasn't been moved yet because Holland isn't actively trying to. I tend to believe that because Kindl is one of our few "assets" were Holland would be fine with trading as part of a package. To me that makes the most sense because Kindl is so redundant on the team that trading him alone for a late pick would make sense.

    1/15 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Blues 2 (OT)

    Two shots is ridiculous. No matter how many blocked shots there were
  7. Fair enough but there would probably be talk of rioting

    Brodeur retires. Named Sr. Advisor to Blues GM

    Glad to help translate.

    Brodeur retires. Named Sr. Advisor to Blues GM

    I think what you're trying to say is Brodeur should be our starter, not back up Mrazek. Also by NOOOOOOOZZZZZ you think the best move Holland could make is to get Brodeur by trading Howard, Kronwall and a first.

    Mike Yeo (Wild) Has Meltdown At Practice

    Obama had the CIA inject him performance inhibiting drugs after he protested and refused to visit the White House with the team
  11. Can you imagine if Holland went off the deep end and just starting trading all our assets? This website would go crazy.

    It's kind of ridiculous to even suggest it given Mrazek has better numbers than Brodeur, has started almost as many games as him and we would be getting Monster back soon

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    I'm wondering if we find a good top pair rh dman if we should offer Ericsson. GMs are likely laughing at the idea of getting Kindl in return who hasn't even had some consistency. Ericsson is struggling a bit too but he has a lot more experience and might be more enticing.

    1/10 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Capitals 3

    I have noticed that Weiss isn't quite as dominant as before the last injury. Maybe it's what line he's on or maybe he's worried being aggressive will just put him back in the press box.

    1/10 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Capitals 3

    Thanks that helps me understand but still seems kind of harsh when Weiss doesn't take a lot of penalties. The stats I've looked at on NHL.com say he has 4 PIM. That's not bad for at all for 18 games played

    1/10 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Capitals 3

    I'm not sure how Babcock can think he is effectively using Weiss on the fourth line. Yes Weiss has improved his defense but he has was more upside on offense than Miller or even Franzen in most games.

    Time for Teemu?

    I agree it would be good to bring up a pure scorer but I think if Holland planned on bringing up a kid he would end up skipping him for Mantha just to get a look at what he can do in the NHL

    Are the Wings a Contender?

    http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/rumor-roundup-devils-veterans-could-be-shipped-out-in-push-for-top-pick/ Maybe Zidlicky will be offered for a slightly reasonable rate. He shoots right and an established nhler

    12/29 GDT - Red Wings 2 at Bruins 5

    I hope Babcock doesn't try some of those new defensive pairings unless he truly wants to change them for good. Worked against them last game

    12/12 GDT : Panthers 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

    Give Sheahan a chance on the shootout

    Jimmy sucks in a shootout Howard

    I think regulation wins should be 4 points where in overtime the winner gets 3 and the loser 2 then for the shootout the winner gets 2 and the loser 1. More motivation to finish the game before the shootout

    Senators fire head coach MacLean

    I think he'd be a good fit in Toronto given they want Babcock but probably won't get him

    Jeff Petry; trade between us and oilers

    I can understand that trading for Petry has an inherent risk but it would have to come at a better price than the other talked about option of Tyler Myers. We would have that out with Petry's contact ending

    Inconsistency

    I think if the offense can work like it did against Ottawa we won't have any problems. Anderson was looking like a brick wall in the beginning but they found ways to get pucks in by putting forty shots on goal.

    Inconsistency

    One thing I've noticed is that Zetterberg hasn't made his presence felt much this year. On the power play he seems to be more or less looking for the pass instead of taking it to the net which could be that he isn't 100%
