Too many dumb lazy penalties last night cost us the game.

True dat we're talking Blashill here so any thing can and will happen.

Don't see Frk in the pressbox that will be Witkowski and Booth, Probably AA-Nielsen-Frk and Helm on the 4th line with Glendening and Wilson at least that's how i'd have it any ways.

No Problemo.

Let's Go Red Wings, Should be an easy Wings victory 6-2

Exactly i'm really high on this kid, And hopefully once he comes back he lights it up again. AA is a special person.

I believe they're on the same side where the Wings shoot twice and the zamboni comes out of from what i was seeing from before.

AA will have arbitration rights next summer, If he has a good year this year. Next summer he should get a decent salary probably in the $3 million+ neighborhood.

Yes it is? Totally agree, Sheahan had no future in Detroit. So that's a win win trade in my book. Only when you're Ken Holland, And over pricing your own players.

Would do that deal in a heartbeat, Though by the sound of things Holland wants a player close to AA's age or younger and Muzzin is what 27 now. Same here, But unfortunately it would take far more then just AA to get Trouba out of Winnipeg. And doubt we've the pieces for Trouba.

That would've been pretty neat to have recycled the troughs. Enjoy i'll probably be there for the New Years Eve game against the Pens.

Never in a million years will i miss the troughs, And i only attended 3 games at the Joe in my entire lifetime. Can't wait to visit LCA it's by far the best arena so far in the nation.

Let's Go Red Wings Detroit 4 Tampa 3

Larkin had a point last night, Both him and Abby assisted on Glendening's goal. Yup have a couple of tough ones coming up with Tampa and Toronto So nice to see the boys doing well so far. Hicketts right now is probably better then Ouellet of Jensen.

His numbers are pretty identical to Nyquist but he's 5 years younger basically making the same kind of money, I like Chucky and all but seriously doubt that he's a fit with Detroit.

I've noticed watching on Youtube the Wings practices that they had to skate around black bumpers on the ice thought it looked pretty neat. Like the other guy said if we could get Shea Theodore i would gladly give this up for him, But fat chance that Nielsen would waive his NMC for Vegas that's not happening. I totally agree with you, What i was eluding to is that both AA and Vanek had great chemistry together. And both were equally setting each other up.

If you look up a vast majority of AA's goals it was due to Thomas Vanek setting him up and we know longer have Thomas Vanek a vast majority of AA's goals were setup by Vanek probably 3/4 of them were due in fact to Vanek being a very good setup man for us last season.

Never said that $2.5 million was big money and i definitely feel that AA is worth that much, Sam Bennett in his best year had 36 points like AA did this past season Bennett has played 59 more games then AA and has 20 more points then AA plus is 2 years younger then AA that all comes into it Bennett is going into his 3rd full season where AA has yet to play one full season and you honestly think that AA is worth more then Sam Bennett who's playing on a better team. I don't think so.

Exactly that usually happens after you sign big contracts.

Really? Both Ericsson and DeKeyser were within one year of being UFA's when they signed their deals AA still has 3 more years before he's in the same boat. Plus both Ericsson and DeKeyser had tons more games in the NHL when they signed their deals then AA has AA has 43 points in 101 games hardly worthy of big money. Sam Bennett has more points then AA and signed a 2 year deal @ $1.95 million per and Holland offered AA $1.9 million per for 2 years way more then fair for what AA brings to the table. Please don't compare Ericsson and DeKeyser with AA it's not a fair comparison.

AA's only options are to play in Europe or with the Wings, Reportedly the KHL offered him less then what he wanted plus he's losing tons of money right now by not playing in the KHL. And he wont make nearly enough in Europe that he would make playing in Detroit right now he's clearly hurting himself and his potential value would be sinking as well. AA needs to grow up and decide what's best for his future i understand that he wants to play for the Canadian Olympic team but come on i'm sure his NHL career is very important to him this sounds like a lot of the Jacob Trouba incident last year with Winnipeg where he signed late and played about 60 games or so if AA doesn't sign by Dec 1st then he can't play in the NHL this year. He needs to grow up and stop acting like a child.

AA is only arbitration eligible if he plays in Detroit this year, If he goes to the KHL or Europe this year he looses his salary arbitration rights next year and will be in the same boat as this year. He wouldn't be eligible until he reaches 25 years old and that's if he plays next year.

Kronner not playing tonight, Ouellet in his place.

Happy birthday Frky it would be nice to get a goal tonight for his birthday.

Works for me Let's Go Red Wings.
