not fickle, never thought Howard was a good goalie, even back when he would get his callups, I always bitched about him and his rebound control. Listen, even Tim Cheveldae almost won 40 games playing here. Howard sucks, face it. It took you all a while to realize Hudler stunk, Franzen is garbage and soon you'll all realize Howard is junk. You'll all open your eyes soon. Some of you are opening them as we speak! Trade Howard on draft day.

Howard is horrible. He is every bit of below average. He has left a s*** stain from Dallas to Anaheim back to Detroit and into Pennsylvania...i cannot believe he still has supporters here. May as well put Franzen in net.

Pulk has to be on Dats line from now on out. Pulk - Dats - Tats is an awesome line. Cement Hands has no business being anywhere near the top line and Glenny is not suited or it either. The Dats line needs the scoring ability of Pulk, NOT the ineptness of Cement Hands.

If the $8 wins me more games, absolutely!

Manson all day long! Rick Grimes or Daryl Dixon

Stevie Wonder XXX given to fire starters

9-1 as a starter....I will take 2.55 gaa with 9 wins. What is Jimmy's gaa since he's been back? What about Gus? BTW for the SEASON, Jimmy is a 2.25 gaa and a .917 sv%....ya, thats SOOOOOO much better than Mrazek! Also, that 2.55 is Petr's 20 game total, NOT what it was when he went 9-1....Face it, the team playes better in front of Mrazek AND he is the better goalie. When Jimmy s***s the bed in the playoffs (again) Petr WILL eventually take his job next season...

Imagine that, our goalies start s***ting themselves and they call up Mrazek... Nice excuse, but at least they are bringing up a goalie who can play.

Hey Jimmy, see that? That is how you steal games and make the big save when needed. You were brought in to make the big save...Monster just sucks, so I don't expect a win when he is in. Jimmy is sligtly better, but cannot and will not win the big game.

Call it.....

I have as much faith in him as I do in Obama...

WTF.....What a time for our special teams to start stinking...2 PP and 2 SH....yikes! PP and PK has not been as good in the last few games. Howard still s***ting himself.

I hope Jimmy is done s***ting himself from last game...

Haven't had consistant goaltending since Mrazek was the starter....Hmmmm.... When Babcock throws lines togeter like this, I think to myself how wonderful it will be when he is coaching elsewhere... Pulk - Dats - Tatar should have been the 1st line....any word on Dats? Is he back in the 3rd?

Tank It! ....oh wait, is it too late? Tank next year!

I counted no less than 5 times that the RD'd stick stop the puck at the blueline where a leftie would've had a harder time doing so. Not to mention the GWG as flukey as it was, a LH'd shot would've have had to backhand it or try to bring it back to the forehand giving the Rags an extra second to get into better position. Genius move by Holland, instant dividend! Not even Yandle nor Phanuef would have been able to get that shot off any smoother. Cole looked good, a bit nervous, but had some good shots on goal. Nobody wants to see the Wings in the 1st round, that's for sure!

calling a goal by Cole and two PP points by Zids. Wings win 4-2.

I honestly think you may see Q as the odd man out a bit. SO what happens to Kindl now? He is #8 on the list here in Detroit now....maybe 9 with Ouellet

Ya, all of Pulk, March and Jurco will all be "sent to GR" on paper, in order to qualify them for the AHL playoffs. They will be "recalled" after 3PM when the roster limits are no longer set at 23, as long as they fit under the cap. I cannot say how happy I am right now, these are two types of trades that add the right combo of what a team may need to get them over the top. All these teams "loading up" have a s*** ton more to lose if they don't win a Cup, and guess what? Last I heard only ONE team can still win the Cup, so there are 4-5 teams that loaded up this week, that are going to kicking themselves in the ass...Chicago better win this year, becuase if they don't, they are facing the same situation as 2010, they will need to dump salary to get under the cap. What Holland did the last 24 hours just proves that he is still one of the best. I may be biased, but if you are couting what was sent in retrurn today, Detroit cam out near the top of the "winner" chart. I am very critical of Holland (to say the least) but today it just proves how much I should be less critical of him. Look at the last few years of drafting and todays deadline. Sure he paid too much for Legwand last year, but he HAD to, there was almost no way of making the playoffs with Andy as your #1 center. He tried for the Olsen twins, he tried for the big names last July, he stood his ground last year and this year when everyone wanted Mantha (and now Larkin.) This may not be a Cup winning day for us, but it was definitely a playoff push move. These guys bring experience that could push us further into the playoffs we have been since 2009. Cheers to Ken Holland! Welcome to Hockeytown Erik and Marek!

that's what she said!

just want to give a huge kudo to Kenny for not caving in a trading our top prospects! He made the team better with both Cole and Zidlicky! Lost nobody of significance doing so either! Thank you Kenny! Lets Go Wings! Bring on the NHL!

...apparently, an article by Stewart portrays him as being a dick. "boo hoo, I'm not a dick..." "You better not draft me (Quebec) I will never play for you!" I knew he was a dick back then, Stewie's article just confirms something we all knew! http://www.tsn.ca/lindros-files-lawsuit-against-former-referee-1.215863

Janmark was falling down the prospect list, Backman already left for Sweden. Look at it this way, Cole and a 3rd for a 2nd. Neither Janmark and especially Backman were going to see time in Detroit for any significant time. I think we won this trade for the "now." Cole will help us more now than the other two guys....besides, Franzen is done and/or about to be traded, Kenny needed to address that spot. For the record when Franzen gets traded I will be dancing on the ceiling!

Only until Cole helps us win a Cup! Oh, and then there's those other prospects we have....Larkin, Mantha, Pulkkinen to name a few... Janmark may do well, but he was obviously getting pushed down Ken Holland's list of prospects enough to where he could deal him.

Backman and Janmark..... Yep, we know who loved the Swedes here! Good on ya Nill! Thanks for not raping us! I like the trade.
