at that neg! "It'll turn around when Dats and Lids are back" that's all we heard and if anyone tried to argue it, they got negged. Well, Lids and Dats are back.....what now? Negg, Negg, Negg.... Oh wait, it's Lids first game back, just wait until the playoffs....excuses excuses excuses....Holland missed the boat on deadline day....odds are he won't make a change come July either...he'll just keep these same garbage players.

Ouch....still blaming the injuries? Gonna be an ugly playoff...

Wings refuse to shoot the puck on the Power play....Funny, you don't even notice a difference with Franzen not in the lineup.

Honestly, this team would BOTH make me happy AND piss me off....Detroit. Obvious reason's why it would make me happy, but if they won the Cup then Holland will make ZERO changes in the off season and we'd be stuck with the same lazy players that waste my hard earned money during the regular season!

uh....aren't the Wings IN Carolina tonight? If so, I hope you got a receipt for those tickets....

My buddy is picking Dan's sister up at the airport tonight at 10:30pm, he said he will try to find out anything he can about what may be on Dan's mind...hopefully I can break some news before anyone else around the NHL hears, but things get out pretty fast in today's world!

Same could have been said about Abdelkader and Helm in 2008. They jumped over many people to make their NHL debut's. Not saying you are at all wrong, but if Sheahan is the better player, then he will get the call-up. Andersson and Brunnstrom are not going to be on Detroit permanently EVER, they will be career Griffins unless they go elsewhere.

Looking ahead to the off season. Let's just say for shig's and gittles, Holland trades is able to acquire Suter, Parise and Semin. Lidstrom re-tires, Hudler walks, Holmstrom re-tires and he re-signs Helm and Abby and Quincey to long term deals. Your roster may look something like this: Franzen Datsyuk Semin Filpplua Zetterberg Parise Mursak Helm Bertuzzi Eaves Abby Miller Suter White Kronwall Quincey Smith Ericsson fast forward to 2013 and if Weber comes knocking, just replace White with Weber or re-sign White and ditch Ericsson if he hasn't gotten any better... I like it. *SMACK!* Now I wake up from that dream, but that would for sure be a better roster than they have now...and it would be doable. edit: Also you'll notice Cleary is gone...traded for a pick. If not, then Make Mursak the 13th FWD and put Cleary on the third line...Kindl is 7th D of course, unless Dekeyser gets signed and gets that nod.

All the more important to sign Suter this off season...that would put Detroit in the front running for Weber if you becomes a UFA. But if Lids retires...then if Holland was able to land Suter, Parise AND Semin this team would be ten times better without Franzen. edit: A million times better I should say

there, finished your subtitle for you. It is quite a possibility. I hope not.

Ya, little did that guy know that while he was typing away in his drunken rage, that he would type out something that funny!

Holy Juck ******* Pott!

He is the all time leader scorer in the KHL... Nope, with the KHL agreeing to let Radulov play in the NHL this season, he has to play in the KHL next season... So basically he is a playoff rental from overseas, which should not be allowed by the NHL, but Bettman is so desperate to have another one of his "Southern" teams win a Cup, he will allow almost anything...let the Wings try something like this...

.900 and 2.99? or .999 and 2.00 What the hell kinda of crap is that to write? About a million goalies in the world have a Save % with a 9 and a GAA with a 2. Anyhow, he better bring some luck. Maybe team will respond like they did when Migity Migity Mac came in when J.Ho first went down...

Well Juck ******* Pott! It never ends!

Bring in Larionov as Head Coach...Fetisov as an assistant!

Yes, with 4th on the horizon...yuck! St. Louis Nashville Chicago Detroit Columbus How horrible does that look?

Well, don't look now but Chicago is only 4 points behind Detroit. From first overall before the Deadline, none of the needs addressed even tweaked, then falling to 6th seed by the end of the season... I think someone mentioned something about that happening and got laughed and negged to death... I don't see anyone finding this hysterical anymore. This is reality. Injuries are part of the game, but you rely on players picking up the slack and nobody has done anything! I am sure Holland kept his players because he felt they would continue playing hard and roll into the playoffs. They are now going to limp into the playoffs in 6th spot more than likely. I am very scared to what may happen then...I would HATE to get eliminated by the Predators. The only thing that would bring a silver lining is if Holland plucked Suter away from them in July...but we all know what will happen in July...

Wow! That was just the Juck ******* Pott!

Nice!

Juck ******* Pott? I think I am gonna use that one the next time I win something good! "Is that triple 7's? I just hit the Juck ******* Pott!" I just may have to make a trip the the Urban Dictionary and add this one! Juck ******* Pott - The winning of the mother load. To win something beyond explanation. To win a major award. "It's a major award! I hit the Juck ******* Pott! Let's celebrate Ma!"

Looking bleak...seriously.

Inside Info: My buddy told me today that Dan's mom is pushing for him to sign in Toronto. So add another team to the hopper...

Helm too? Jeez! This teaming is melting fast!

This is what scares me...everyone who made fun of me a negged me last month is seeing reality. No, no one could have predicted this, but I think everyone refused to see how fast St. Louis and Nashville were gaining, and all it took was one loss at home after the streak to knock them off their "roll" and we are now seeing this team for all it's weaknesses. The powerplay is going to be the death of them. We can all look back and say shoulda coulda woulda, but fact is, NOTHING was addressed when it needed to be addressed. Is Holland a better hockey mind than most of us? Of course, but I wasn't the only one saying that the "Old Franzen" was not going to show up and Holland relied upon certain players to step it up, pick it up and carry this team enough to NOT make a deal at the deadline. Right now and in the near future, he may be regretting that...
