Wow, not even a season after serious Jack Adams consideration. Then again, when a coach just isn't getting it done and making strange line decisions, guess a change may be needed...you know where I'm going with this.

Just an obscure Star Wars reference. I thought maybe you didn't get it and was like, what?.

I am 100% surprised he was scratched. The way they were beat on, I'm not sure it'll happen again.

Yes, but then which one of the 8 defensemen do you waive? We can only have 23 players. Another reason for Kronwall to hang them up. He is a pathetic leader, he doesn't deserve the A. Look at what Yzerman did when his knee was gone. That's leadership. If your knees are worse than his knee was, time to go. If you don't have the heart, time to go.

Yet another loss

Scratched?

Can't. Hold. Leads.

Ok

Not sure, but I think the cba does not allow players you talk to other teams prior to a few days before July 1. So his two goals last game didn't mean anything?

Imagine that....time to hang them up Kronwall. Call it.

Vanek won't get you a #1 D.

There goes his stock.

I am 99% positive Ott will not be a healthy scratch.

I personally want to re-sign Vanek, but only AFTER the expansion draft. My comment had nothing to do with European, I was knocking Holland. I've been Vanek at the Disco from July 1st.

Holland won't trade him, he'll sign him before the season ends and have to use a protection on him.

Well, when AA gets back, the right thing to do is waive Miller. I hate to say it. Bertuzzi can go back to get more seasoned. But ya, Mantha needs to stay. Period.

Yep

So maybe we'll see Coreau at the dance soon? FWIW, there goes Jimmy's trade value.

I am reading right, 5 pk's already?

Not watching, but what happened, I thought Howard was going to start.

I live in West Michigan, I am but an hour northwest of GR (Oceana County.) Although the population is there, and as diverse as it is, I can pretty much guarantee the area could not support an NHL team. Sure, there are some rabid fans like myself throughout West Michigan, there are fans in Norton Shores because of Abby, and some in GR because of Glenny, outside of Kent County, there isn't too much youth interest in Hockey. Even in Muskegon, it's teams of kids all over the western counties, then the next set of teams are 70 miles north in Scottville (Mason County) and they're, again, teams made up of kids from all over. I live 40 miles north of Muskegon and my kids could go either way to play, 40 mile drive or 30 miles, if there was more interest, you would think there'd be something closer for kids in our area. That being said, as much as the population is in the Muskegon area, they still have to cypher kids from miles away just to have enough to participate in a league. They do have The Lumberjacks of the USHL, and they're fun to watch, but rare is a sellout. I'd love to see GR have a NHL team from a personal standpoint, but the interest from the area is just not there.

So you've heard of him? Of course I've heard of him, he's me!

If Holland leaves either of Mantha or AA exposed, I will personally go punch him in all his teeth.

Nope, rock bottom will be 16th in March.
