He always reminds me of Mr. Burns....

All props to Stevie, but it wasn't Hockeytown until after Fedorov, Lidstrom, Bowman came here...

Boy, Larkin and Stamkos look awesome out there together!!

Hmmmmm, Larkin being chosen as a rookie to go to the ASG.....NHL "fixing" the skills competition (some say) in order for Larkin to make a new ASG record for speed...Larkin is getting tons of NHL talk amongst the insiders around the league....could it be possible that the NHL is making Dylan Larkin the next poster boy for the NHL? Could Dylan Larkin be the next player that everyone talks about? Could this kid be the one that the NHL is putting the next 10 years or so on his shoulders to carry the NHL? I guess we will see if he starts making appearances in every NHL Network commercial....

Thanks!

Ya, the send back down was expected, but not the recall of Andersson...does this mean he has to clear through waivers again to be sent back down? Maybe that's the idea, maybe they're trying hard to get someone to claim him...

OK, so it seems that every GDT and or any other thread eventually turns away from the subject and gets into a debate about what the Wings may need to get better on D and who is or isn't good anymore, who makes more mistakes or who seems to be taking the lead of this D Corps. It gets tiresome jumping from thread to thread in order to keep up with a conversation, so I created this topic to direct all that talk into one place....have at it! Mods, if you feel this thread is not a good idea, please feel free to dump it.

So, the D is playing better now, still a bit inconsistant, but better....IF we aren't able to land any UFA or UFA to be via trade, I think if we either dumped E somehow PLUS let Q go, we'd be able to keep 3 of the 4 kids and just fill the roster with those guys and be good. They'd be #6/#7 on the team anyhow, we'd still have our veteren core...even if we were able to just shed one of E or Q (UFA) I still think we'd be able to carry 8 D-men up here and the bottom two can rotate in and out with the #6 guy,or injury replacement. If I am chosing one of trading E or re-signing Q, I pick Q over E everyday. I just hope we don't keep both and lose 2 of the 4 kids to waivers, since odds are we'd waive Sproul and Jensen, two RH'd guys that we'd miss big time. XO is ready too...damn its going to be a tough choice!

If we really aren't players in any of the big names out there, then I say just trim the fat before the draft (deadline or not) and stockpile some picks....Helm, Howard, Quincey, Richards you could get some nice picks in return for all those guys, especially at the deadline for the skater positions. Unless we get a 1st round pick offer or a nice package set up, I think Howard shouldn't be dealt until summer. As mentioned in the other thread, the other guys listed could bring a nice pick from a legit contender looking for an extra piece to help them go as far as they can! No matter what, Howard must be dealt with before next season....the Wings can either put their confidence in Coreau to come up or sign someone like Enroth on a year to year basis until Coreau or Patterson are ready...

Dougie Brown better not clammer for more icetime! "f*** me!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUbwUk2Odvk

*close thread*

Those keeping count, thats a 1.1 GAA and a .952 SV%....NICE!

Mrazek with another 2 goal or less game! That's 9 goals in his last 8 starts! That's hockey there!

who iced it?

Hang on tight!

Poop.....just poop I say! Did someone give that one away, I see the log says 0 assists...NM, it jsut updated, there's two assists...

I'd say its as if witnessing a miracle!

WIde of net, Darren Helm! ...go figure!

Not sure.....Modified NTC, details not known. But there are 4 more years left on his deal after this year...

OK, so, not E's fault according to some, E's fault according to others...its a wash, buck it up and get it back!

Oh boy, so E gave that puck away? Looks like I have ammo for tonight!

Woodsy didn't say Mrazek wanted that one back, was it a soft one?

who the hell is Tangradi in for? NM, Pulkkinen is missing....healthy scratch?

Tatar not playing?

...so Tangradi is in...for who?
