  1. Why would Blashill "the moron" put the team's leading goal scorer on a checking line and give his spot to a guy that's mostly been a healthy scratch and hasn't shown he can do much of anything? Also, Andersson's been winning half of his faceoffs, second only to Gelndenning, which is good for a team that sucks at faceoffs and is having trouble with possession. But who cares about numbers? Andersson is slow and boring. We want new and shiny. Never play Andersson again!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Roster Moves by the Wings

    He's been in the line-up and he hasn't made an impact yet. So I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Larkin can play anywhere and he can do it well already. Wing? Center? Whatever. Perhaps you're still upset that the point-per-game rookie's not in GRs like you wanted him to be. Maybe that bias is clouding your better judgement?

    No one said anything about points. All Blashill wants Jurco to do is skate and he can't even do that right now http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2015/10/red_wings_have_a_long-term_pla.html

    Doesn't mean you get to just gift him into that role in two weeks when Datsyuk returns.

    Preseason? f*** that. Athanasiou was the second coming of Max Pacioretty in the preseason. He's got one point so far in GRs. Preseason means jack squat.

    Mike Green out 2-3 weeks

    I know that "technically" that's a clean hit, but I'm with Mickey Redmond in saying that I hate that hit. It's hard for a defenseman to make that play and see the guy coming. And the only way a forwatd makes that kind of hit is if he's trying to hurt someone.

    Jurco and Tatar were good together two years ago. They've tried that combo since and it hasn't beed good. Right now Jurco is a healthy scratch for a reason. So I'd say I'm less "off" than you are, at least until Jurco proves he can play hockey again.

    I don't know if anyone's noticed but Ferraro is completely useless Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdlekader Tatar - Datsyuk - Larkin Jurco - Sheahan - Pulkinnen (if Jurco can get his s*** together) Miller - Glendenning - Helm

    Unless you triple shift Abdlekader, clone him, or can see Holland making a trade that actually involves a skilled roster player going one way with size coming back, I don't know how anyone's ever going to solve this problem of yours. Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdlekader Tatar - Datsyuk - Larkin with Larkin being an upgrade to the Tatar - Dastyuk - Helm line from last season.

    I have a problem with Sheahan playing the wing because he'll likely not be very good at it. He's bearly been good up the middle so far this year. I hate your third line. Jurco should be nowhere near the top 6 and Larkin should never leave the top 6. So yes, really. I guarantee that when Datsyuk returns two things will occur: Larkin will still be in the top six and Jurco will still be a healthy scratch.

    I want no part of Tatar - Datsyuk - Jurco Sheahan - Larkin - Pulkinen on paper, on ice. Tatar - Datsyuk - Larkin (just like the line last year only you upgrade Helm with Larkin) Helm - Sheahan - Pulkinnen OR Jurco - Sheahan - Pulkinnen

    Holland better stay away from Kopitar this summer. I like that guy too much to see him on the LTIR list.

    You don't know that.

    For one, Sheahan doesn't play wing. He's never played wing. You may as well send him down to Grand Rapids if his "capable" wingers are Sheahan and Pulkinnen. That's essentially a checking line + a midget.

    Which is why Larkin should stay in the top 6 on the wing. Especially over Jurco. He does ever single thing Jurco does about 5 times better.

    I'm going to take a stab and say it's because you have Larkin on the third line.

    Doesn't make much sense to start Mrazek back-to-back IMO. But who knows.

    He also confirmed every single thing that Leftwinger's sister's boyfriend's brother has ever told him about the Wings.

    More whispers than drama. Also way less weird than he seems in any of the videos I've seen him in where he's talking about prospects.

    Just a hunch. No inside connections here. Although I did meet Jiri Fischer last week.

    $100 says Blashill goes Mrazek, Howard, Mrazek this week.

    So, does Blashill start Mrazek on Tuesday?

    Where Are The W-L Results?

    If you're looking for W-L results, any hockey website should have them. Like nhl.com or tsn for example. Many of these sites also include breakdowns of OT loses, SO loses, etc. You should be able to find playoff records there too.
