Yah. The pond is a great place to watch hockey. Seen some wings fans end up bloody at a few games, but mostly deserved it for not being quiet after the wins.

Big game

Good post. Love Jimmy for his off ice personality and jis gamer quality. He just isnt as good as Mrazek.

AGAIN, Holland signed him for 4 years. Why would he do that if he is trying to trade him? Makes zero sense.

This is the problem, Joesuff. Everyone will defend Ken Holland until they are forced to drown or stop defending him. Ken Holland just re-signed this guy 2 years ago. Why is Holland the ONLY GM seeing double the actual value in Kindl, Weiss, Howard, Ericsson, etc etc etc. He's an idiot. That's why.

I like this a lot. How do your pp units look?

Holland IS an idiot. Waited 3 months to start working on this. Waited til Kindl was a healthy scratch for forever to start wlrking on this. The right time for him to move him was after his OT goal in November. But our GM is a total failure. Now we get nothing for him. Another high draft pick wasted.

Holland signed Kronwall to be our #1. If he is our #1, how can he not have trade value?

Lol @ kronwall

Agreed. Anticipate the cap ceiling rising.

Kronwall is a number 1 Defenseman. Holland is the one who put his NMC there.Suter and Parise turned Holland down any which way you look at it. Conceded point on DeKeyser. Result - Successful arguments both ways. Ken Holland signed Kronwall to a 7 year contract. Why would he do this if Kronwall was "in decline"? That seems dumb.DEBUNKED Franzen then. Pick your poison. Either we had a tradeable winger who led the team's wingers in scoring, or Holland did such a terrible job, that we didnt have a single winger with any value. Just choose one.DEBUNKED

Nick Polano hired Andersson. Mike Ilitch hired Devellano. DEBUNKED.

Sorry. Busy day here at work. The collider had a few electronic issues. I will respond shortly. No pun intended!!

I feel the same way. He's doing what he should be doing.

Yah, he's tilting the ice huge so far.

Curious to know how you are viewing Smith these days. Better?

He's awesome. The sharks announcers were all over his junk tonight. "Wait til you see this kid, Dylan Larkin." #71 is the best player on the Detroit Red Wings.

Goodnight, brother.

Niklas Kronwall. 10 mil a season for 8 years would have brought both Suter and Parise here to Detroit. We gave the 20 mil to Howard, Weiss, Ericsson, Tootoo, Samuelsson, and Cleary instead. DeKeyser chose us. He's not a hit for Holland. Alfedsson, Green, and Richards were let go by other teams. That's the kind of UFA Kenny can land - a player who was good 4 years ago. And Kenny likes to pay them for their past accomplishments instead of current value. Helm + Nyquist + Ouellet. Holland is a coattail rider. Devellano, Bowman, Andersson, and Nill are the brains. Holland got super lucky to have those 4 guys around him. Bowman and Nill are gone now, Devellano has gone senile, and Andersson is a small fish in a big, saturated pond now instead of the only fish in an uncharted pond. That's why Holland has looked so lost over the last 5 years and Dallas and Chicago are enjoying success.

Hakkan Andersson and Devellano are still with the organization.

And Nashville cant just trade Seth Jones to get a #1C. And Minnesota cant just pick up Suter and parise for nothing as UFA's. And New York cant just land Yandle for prospects. And Washington cant just pick up Niskanen. And Dallas cant just land a fututecentl for an old winger and pick up another #2C who recently was a #1C for prospects. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR KEN HOLLAND. He is garbage. Holland is picking up everyone elses trash and paying them for past accomplishments. He has no idea what he's doing.

Mrazek is THE man. Howard is Cujo right now.

Good comment on Nyquist. He's a liability in playoff style hockey games.
