Ok, so all three guys cleared waivers today. Witko can now be assigned to GR opening up a roster spot. We currently have 13 FWDS (not counting Franzen and Z) so who gets that 14th spot? I think if Svech's "tweak" is deemed ok, he'll be in the lineup opening night. But if Svech isn't cleared to play, who gets it? Do they call Witko back up, call someone else, or just go with a 22 man roster?

Vancouver 1-6 in their preseason games, playing like a high school team, foreshadowing their plans for the regular season in order to unite the Hughes Brothers.

Should be called U-Snowflakes. They're just too "bleeding heart" for me. I don't care to hear a bands political position when they sing. But they have lasted the times! ..and I have to admit, I was at the Zoo TV tour at The Palace with The Pixies, Then I saw them again later that year at the Silverdome with Primus.

It is best for Zadina to hone his skills in GR, even though we were all hyped to see him make the roster out of camp! Good for Ras and Cholowski! We kind of knew Ras was going to make it, unless he stunk it up, but nice job by Cholowski bumping his way past both Hronek and Hicketts! Sulak impressed as well! If E and Daley are out (and possibly Kronner) for the opener, I think we can all agree that those three will be in. Although IMO, Saarijarvi did a bit better than Hronek. Minus Z and Franson, the Wings sit at 14 FWDS, 7D and 2G's equaling 23 players, roster compliant, and that is WITH Witko. So since he was waived, and if clears, CAN be assigned to GR, I have a feeling once Svech feels better, he is the one that will be in the Detroit lineup. Who sits? Frk and Ehn? BTW, who was the one who wanted Ehn to make the team to form the Frk - Ehn - AA line? That is classic! Pure Gold!

I don't think that worked the way you intended it to.

A bit surprising is Kronwall left the ice 15 in. Is he getting the Z treatment and only practicing when he can, or has his knees flared up early? We could have a VERY young D corps this season... ...and there you have it. Whoa? Witko being waived for Ehn? ...and just a bit more

SMH Country : districts and small settlements outside large towns, cities, or the capital. "the airfield is right out in the country" U2 is no band.

Hype of Hypes! The final roster tryouts are tonight! Btw, anyone know if Jokinen is still o n his PTO or has he been released?

That would be a great 4th line!

Not on subject, but since when does a GDT always remain on subject? I found this neat video, counting 1-99 using hockey players #'s. How many can you do without looking names up? I would fail miserably!

"God's Country " is a state of mind or a feeling. I can look out over any vista in West Michigan and say the same thing. I happen to think there is no state more beautiful than Michigan. Especially the West Michigan area. "God's Country."

Thursday opener...dang it, I'll be driving!

Any TV?

Just as we were all hoping for Steve to play one more season, get to 700 goals and also retire to thunderous applause at The Joe.

It's all be ok, how else are we gonna compete for Jack Hughes? It's a win-win...or in his case lose-win. Jimmy has made a ton of money without ever having to earn it. That's a career he can be proud of. Can't be mad at the guy.

Tank for Hughes

Bump.

Howard=Average again?

It ain't over, but yech if we lose to Toronto.

I think Ken Daniels pronounces it Cha-Law-Ski. No matter, we should be hearing it one way or another all season long!

He will be our GM. Not even a question.

That was Shawn's Uncle Aaron.

Agreed! Jack Hughes first, toss up between Kakko and Broberg if we get 2-5. An argument can be made for Podkolzin as well!

Agreed. Svech has also been very impressive. I wish they could all stay. Shawn Burr is looking down and nodding his head with apporoval.

Zadina proving he should stay. IMO, based on pre season, Zadina, Rasmussen and Cholowski should be the three that stay all year. It's still crazy to think that on opening day, because if injuries, that 5 out of the 7 spots on D could be rookies.
