    Good point. Q is not super flashy, but he's a stabilizer. Allows his partner to play a little more aggressive.

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    Cool. Thx for your insight. I only watch a few griffs games a year, so good to have a birds eye view from you. I put a lot of stock in +/- when determining a player's value to the team, so Russo's +11 in 16 games impresses me.

    This is really bad. Really bad.

    What are the chances Larkin wins the Calder ?

    If Larkin is at +40 with 50-60 pts, and Panarin is at +1 with 80 pts, I take Larkin for the Calder. Larkin has singlehandedly taken a team to a different level and is the mvp of his team. Panarin is not doing that.

    I dont watch too much of the Griffs games, but Russo is performing very well so far. 9 pts and +11 in 16 games is besting all defensemen by far. So much talk about Ouellet, Sproul, and Jensen. What about Robbie Russo?

    I agree. Our defense looks really solid lately. I havent seen that many outnumbered attacks in the last 15 games. We were giving up odd man rushes frequently in the first 10 games, and that was a bit scary. Seems like Blash righted the ship in the defense department.

    Montreal was on 2nd game of 2 in 2. We took advantage.

    Would you: 1) trade Kindl and keep Marchy as #7 2) send Marchy down and keep Kindl as #7 3) keep Marchy and Kindl and only keep 1 reserve forward ??

    Wings Need on D and Glaring Inconsistencies

    Ericsson doesn't seem to garner the negativity Kindl and Smith do. I don't think #52 is worth what he's paid, tho.

    Xavier Ouellet extended 1 year

    I dont think we will lose 4 NHL defensemen. That's pretty far fetched.

    Wings Need on D and Glaring Inconsistencies

    The issue is that we need a big defenseman who skates well, is right handed, and can protect our little euros. Byfuglien fits our needs perfectly.

    Ferraro on waivers

    Yah. You made a lot od good points. I wish Ferraro had been given a better chance here.

    Jurco on Conditioning Assignment in GRs

    Im not convinced Blashill is 100% comfortable with Holland yet. Seems way too pc with the players right now instead of doinf what's best for the team.

    They were his goals allowed regardless. Cant use this point for Mrazek and not for Howard. 4 goals is a lot no matter how.

    Wings Need on D and Glaring Inconsistencies

    Good post. Do you carry both Smith and Kindl on the 23 man squad, or do you make a trade?

    Wings Need on D and Glaring Inconsistencies

    Seems as if the focus has shifted away from Smith and is recentering on Ericsson. Is it time to sit #52 for a few games instead of Kindl?

    Smith-Kronwall

    Sounds good.

    Smith-Kronwall

    I don't know why the coaches want Kindl-Smith to work so much, but it just doesn't. Smith-Kronwall DOES work, though. I have noticed their play has been exceptional since they've been paired together.

    12/1 GDT : Buffalo Sabres at Red Wings, 7:30 EST

    Yes. It's good that Blashill is realizing Smith's value and that he should be playing him all the time.

    I never knew you hated Helm. I will watch more closely the next few.
