I find it funny that you have no problem stating that Tippett is going to be fired (something that is impossible), yet you have no porblem saying that McLellan coming to Detroit is "not going to happen" (something that is quite possible). Get real. Also, I hate to break it to you, but your beloved Beastly Bears of the East have some retooling to do themselves, and have just demonstrated by firing their GM that they treat their staff like crap, and show zero loyalty. Why would McLellan or anyone want any par of that? said someone 5 years from now, if Edmonton are lucky.

Tippet, Julien, Hitchcock? News to me.

I think McLellan returning to Detroit makes all kinds of sense. Just depends on if he's still available after Babcock/Holland makes their decisions. Timing will be important. I think the coaching free agent frenzy will actually be more exciting than players. How crazy is that.

I will say this, Smith has shown in the past that he can be more physical then what I saw from Marchenko. That might help. Plus it puts DeKeyser and Quincey back together. If they can regain mid-season form, then that's a real bonus. Trying to stay positive here.

Too many defensive mistakes in the neutral zone in game 2. The solution? Brendan Smith.

Link?

He was beaten wide by Filpulla on the 5th goal. For the record. But that goal didn't matter much and I mostly agree with what you're saying.

Awesome. I hope he uses his good hand to face-punch Callahan.

Now he's just trolling Holland.

Babcock doesn't care about this team's future. He won't be here. Why would he care about getting Pulkinnen experience?

Considering his skin makes him look like the old lady in the window from There's Something About Mary, I'd say he just needed more sunlight?

If Abdlekader is back next game, Babcock has to go: Helm - Datsyuk -Tatar Nyquist - Zetterberg -Abdlekader Andersson - Sheahan - Jurco Miller - Glendenning - Ferraro

Someone hasn't been watching the Ottawa series I gather?

They get that honestly from their GM. One of the most whiny Wings of all time.

These hotdogs trying to pad their stats. Johnson's a little twerp. How come he can play his game and our midgets have no room. Dekeyser needs to Subban him.

There's no need of calling that

Totally agree. It's funnyb to me how the media pumps up Babcock and take this automatic tone that Babcock's going to leave the Wings for a better team. Maybe so. But maybe, just maybe, management wants a change as much or more than Babcock does.....

LOL This Wings D is so soft that even that little pansy Filpulla can have his way along the boards.

That 2nd line needs to be dissected by Babcock so that they don't continue to get dissected by Tampa.

Hopefully Quincey does't get the Foligno Herp.

They don't need Lucic. They need their skill guys to get bigger. Annnnnnnd that's going to happen soon. Mantha, AA, Zander to a lesser degree, Larkin. Then jam a miserable prik like lil Bert in there plus a legit giant maybe and all is good. Also, If Babcock leaves, they could sign Orr to a two-way deal next season.

Quincey just Quincewalled Filpulla

2nd line showing some life.

This between the whistle stuff is bulls***.
