at least Nill is trying to improve his team...he could just sit on his hands and not do a damn thing to inject a bit a of life in his team. Sometimes you need to make a deal for a shakeup. Not saying I would take Moen, but Gonchar would be an improvement over Kindl...but so would a lot of defensemen out there. But, other than that, again, at least Nill is attempting to make his team better by adding players that he needs to improve positions, not holding on to the same garbage hoping that on some miraculous day they return to their form from years ago... Kudos to Nill for trying.

absolutely...the shooters are making bad decisions, but when those shots go in at practice, then they think its all good. Spectacular start, hardly. He has played well, and I have acknowledged that before. But he does need to get better a shootouts. If you don't pose a challenge to your teammates at practice, how can they get better? And vice versa...

they are practicing against a goalie who is horrible at shootouts...they probably have no problem scoring in practice and they get that false sense of being good.

same results...different year. its time for change. Shake it up.

they do practice SO's...problem is, they practice them on Jimmy Howard who is never a challenge to beat in a SO. The shooters are given a false sense that they can actually score in a SO. also, f*** Franzen for ***** footing the potential game winner at the goalie. I will never be over the fact that Hossa has reached 1000 points and we are stuck with this "serious contract." Serious hot garbage.

crap....cleary in. This team takes two steps back with this guy in the lineup. What a waste of money... ok, obligatory Cleary bash...that being out of the way, Lets Go Wings!

wait....so, Datsyuk is injured? Sorry, was commuting all night last night and just read. Ray Sheppard?

I will miss the prospect rankings and draft analysis the most!

nobody called this one back in July.

need help up front and on D. Its time.

another soft one. Same place the first goal was. Jimmy played "solid" but two soft goals IMO. Luckily Jimmy has kept this game within reach.

helm, hands of cement. Slow pass, then open net and cannot pull the trigger. Open net too. Missed opportunities, that's our Achilles heel...

nice line juggle, before Dats came back Z, Nyquist and Franzen had some good chemistry.

honestly this team needs a constant threat up front and in back. I truely believe that we have enough prospects, quality ones at that, that we can maybe start dangling some first round draft picks out there to try to get what we desperately need.

if a package that included Helm could get us that difference maker on the blue line, do it.

nice to see Alex Chiasson following in dads footsteps. He was 10, I believe when Steve died.

for as "solid" as jimmy has played, that was a pretty soft one...nonetheless, he has kept this team alive all game.

one thing I am soooo sick of is our D's pass first mentality in the PP. Shoot the fracking puck Kronwall. Nobody falls for the fake shot pass anymore...

No worries guys, this is the type of game that we usually play, outshoot them badly and then give up a softy on the first or second shot. So today the roles will be reversed.

I don't like him, but Howard is bailing them out...

at the time of the Ryan trade, I wonder which prospects we could have offered Anaheim that would have equaled what Ottawa sent. Jarnkrok and Pulkinnen?

well, this is Franzen's arena, I am expecting at least a Hattie... Lets Go Wings!

we needed Legwand. Babcock relegated him to the 4th line so he could control his point production, so when they lowballed him come July 1st, they could use only his red wing points as the excuse. David was smarter than that, even though his first choice was to end his career as a Red Wing. Nothing personal, just business.

can't watch game, but just checked my app....wow, just wow! Lgw!

stop calling him Mule, stop calling him Pav, stop calling him Z....jeez, these names are used so we don't have to type the entire name out. If you enjoy writing Nestrasil everytime you talk about him, go for it. I for one, do not care if people call him Nesty.
