    San Jose Drops the Ball

    The Wings better be paying close attention to Calgary. We could easily slipped to the 3rd seed.

    Downey Sent Down to Grand Rapids

    Question is who stakes better... Homer or Downey?

    Time for the Captains to step up!

    Highly doubt he would say anything... Come on....

    3/7 GDT: Blue Jackets 8 at Red Wings 2

    He is not a regular on the 1st line in Grand Rapids from my knowledge (though been wrong before) and a lot of people know that he is not 1st line material. We all know you would give it up to Downey, so there is bias.

    3/7 GDT: Blue Jackets 8 at Red Wings 2

    If he has not played on the 1st line in Grand Rapids, what makes you think he will play on the 1st line in the NHL, especially on this Wings team? Seriously...

    Your intelligent enough to know that it is 3 yrs later and he has been having issues with his elbow. More than certain he is still playing through it and will have it re-evaluated this summer.

    There is more to games than stats... Sorry, but a lot of things have to do with psychology also. Why do you think players use black tape? Goalies use multi-colored pads? Teams press hard early, hit hard, or there are fights? Hell, I use shoot the puck at the goalies head on purpose to screw with em... I fully do not believe someone will understand the game as a whole unless they live and breath the game. As in playing and working with it. I have had the benefit of playing hockey (not professional of course) for a few years before a tragic car accident stopped me from playing. I also worked for the commissioner of the CCHA for 2 yrs that exposed me to various experiences. There are other members who have played the game or still do and understand it, know it, and value reading into a play or being 2-3 steps a head of another team.

    What is ironic, what Henrik and Babs said was exactly what I said last week and about the Wild game about 4-5 weeks back. The D was terrible and they hung the goalie out to dry. Way too many turnovers. And you even got on my case about it with other members. Try debating/arguing your way out of that one.... When the coach and the players state the same thing that I have been preaching for sometime now is hard to dismiss. And as I said before, Babs left Chris in because it was not his fault. Pulling Osgood would not do anything for his confidence and by not pulling him Babs was sending a message to the rest of the team "it is not Osgood, it is the rest of you." /rant
  11. Only goalie I want plays in Vancouver and I do not see that happening anytime soon.

    The team performed like a busted condom at a keg party tonight... Did not protect, everything went in, and were humiliated.

    Babcock is keeping Osgood to send a message to the rest of the team.... Time to stop those give-a-ways Wings or it will be a short playoff run this year. To be honest, they play like they do not want it...

    11 turnovers by the Wings.... Enough said...

    The person below me game...

    Yes... I have turned down wings tickets due to school or working.... Another time due to being in a non-weight bearing cast. [and for some reason the some of the last few TPBM seem vaguely familiar] {see avatar} The person below me does not like the weather when it is cold and rainy...

    CBS Disrespects Hockey

    Always have to consider the source. Ignorant comments and activities are prevalent lately... I guess CBS thought it would not incite anger towards them.

    3/4 GDT: Red Wings 3, Avalanche 2

    Just remember, the Sharks have a few games in hand and they just added some depth to their D. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Plus you have to be watching what Boston does...
