    Can We Please Stop Putting Teams In Unsustainable Cities?

    I like the Isle's jerseys. They could bring back the fisherman being eaten by a whale!

    Simple math

    He kind of does: "If player A,B,C,D cannot score, I'll put them in the top 6 and on the top PP, that way when players E&F score from the bottom 6, it won't matter much because they are only playing 5 mins a game with no PP time, so no one will even notice I'm a Moron....wait.....what? "

    Wouldn't it be a miracle if we got 2 points tonight? ...in game news, I'd like to see Jensen and Smith as a pairing.

    Here's an interesting blog

    And it only took me 10,932 tries! I think my percentage may still be better than the Wings power play...ah, nope, I forgot they got one the other night! I'm slightly behind!

    Help a brother out.............

    I always parked Cobo Garage and walk thru Cobo to get there. Much Cheaper than JLA garage.

    ...the tire is on fire...and Kenny is kicking it. But it won't go out, it just sits there, burning, smoking, filling the lungs of all Wings fans with toxic fumes of death...kick it some more Kenny!

    Howard hurt.....again

    He can be 3rd string like he was in the Olympics...

    Howard hurt.....again

    There goes any value he had or will have...Vegas will not select him, nobody will trade for him. Best thing to do is buy him out and wash your hands to it. He may heal by next season, but NO WAY should they risk dumping or not protecting Mrazek and keep Jimmy. If Jimmy goes down next season, which we know he will, your tandem will be Coreau and Paterson... A buyout would be 4 years the 1st year $1.8M then $2.5M, $1.5M, $1.5M. This is the only scenario that makes sense now... Jimmy Howard Jimmy Howard is 33 years old at the date of the buyout Salary remaining: $9,250,000 The buyout ratio is 2/3, which results in a total buyout cost of $6,166,667 There are 2 years remaining on this contract The buyout will be spread out over 4 years The annual buyout cost is $1,541,667 The buyout cap hit is displayed in the far right column Buyout Details SEASON SALARY INITIAL CAP HIT ACTUAL COST SAVINGS BUYOUT CAP HIT 2017-18 $5,000,000 $5,291,667 $1,541,667 $3,458,333 $1,833,334 2018-19 $4,250,000 $5,291,667 $1,541,667 $2,708,333 $2,583,334 2019-20 $0 $0 $1,541,667 -$1,541,667 $1,541,667 2020-21 $0 $0 $1,541,667 -$1,541,667 $1,541,667

    Bruins fire Claude Julien

    Ha! Lol! Oops! Russians hacked my keypad! Heh heh!

    IMO, last night Jensen and Smith were our best D.

    Bruins fire Claude Julien

    No, didn't say it was pointless. Just making light of the way the discussion was sounding. Of course if we were looking for a coach, there's no doubt we'd probably be the most attractive place to go. Too bad Holland won't even kick tires on a coaching change.

    Pavel Datsyuk..

    Fact is, we weren't so good last year either, IMO having another year of an unhappy or unmotivated Datsyuk wouldn't change our standing. Top 5 for sure. 1. Howe 2. Yzerman 3. Lidstrom 4. Fedorov 5. Datsyuk Did we have players play here that are ultimately better than Datsyuk? Yes. Re:Shanny, he's #6 in my book.

    Bruins fire Claude Julien

    I'd love Julien here, but we're talking like he interviewed for the job(s) and is in the process of choosing. Holland isn't going to fire Blashill so saying we are the obvious choice for Julien or Hitchcock is pointless. We won't have a vacancy nowhere in the future, near or far.

    02/07 GDT : Columbus Blue Jackets 3, at Red Wings 2 (OT)

    The fine for calling out refs is peanuts compared to salary. It'd be nice just to hear someone say the refs blew it.

    02/07 GDT : Columbus Blue Jackets 3, at Red Wings 2 (OT)

    ...and the refs strike again. There has to be some kind of fine for blatant non calls like that that lead right to a goal. Especially a game winning goal. This is why I can't stand watching this s***. When your team is battling for a spot and the refs take the game right away from them...typical bulls***. You cannot NOT call that in OT.

    Z and Tatar followed by Helm and Nyquist. Ugh...
