    Mike Green out 2-3 weeks

    Lets just go get us some Torres, Cooke, Carcillo and Downie then if it's injuring other guys that wins playoff series. So silly not realizing that's what brings home championships.

    Close to half of the teams in this league are shorter in height and smaller in weight on average then the Wings. We're actually right around the middle and the disparity is not as much as you think. But hey who like stats anyways...

    Achieving Perspective

    That piece "If" by Rudyard Kipling hung in my house growing up and means a lot. It's a great piece of literature. The Wings will come together. Once they overcome all the change and adversity, they will fly high. Go WIngs Go

    Datsyuk and Zetterberg are how old and still not 200+ lbs. Sorry that's not some magic number that transitions to success. And outweighed by 30lbs? What percentage of players are over 230lbs lol?

    Why Is The Joe Half Empty?

    It's a Tuesday night game and judging by when you posted there was only a couple minutes left in the 3rd period. People leave early. It's not that unusual.

    No that I know of. Babcock paired him Datsyuk and then he realized the value he possessed. Not vice-versa. At least that's how I remember it. All those quotes about "Piano mover" came after he was put there by Babcock.

    Ok but almost every NHL player has "a history of scoring goals" at lower levels. He was always known more for his strength, conditioning and grinding ability.

    I'm really happy for Abdelkader. I think he owes a lot of his success to the opportunities Babcock gave him. I'm not a huge Babcock supporter by any means. But I do think he saw something in Abdelkader, and stuck with him, when others may have not. He's developed nicely and definitely surpassed expectations.

    Raffi Torres at it again.

    Take big hits out of hockey? Did no one see the Kings-Sharks game last night?

    Kane case headed to grand jury

    I just don't know what to think now... Is Kane a victim? If only we actually knew what happened that night...

    Kane case headed to grand jury

    My understanding was it was just the bag that was sent to the mother. Not the bag and it's belongings.

    Kane case headed to grand jury

    This is just getting weird... Apparently evidence wasn't tampered with??? Link All evidence related to this case that was given to Erie County Central Police Services by the Town of Hamburg Police Department is accounted for and remains in its original packaging in the possession of Erie County Central Police Services,” Commissioner John Glascott said in a statement Wednesday. Glascott went on to say, “This includes the evidence in the rape kit and the packaging itself. This evidence has been analyzed and reports of that analysis sent to the appropriate agencies.”

    Red Wings sign D Mike Green (3-years, $18-million)

    No, preventing the other team from scoring involves good puck possession. If you have good puck possession then you don't have to clear the crease, box out opponents, hit people as much because they don't have the puck. You do... Now obviously you don't have the puck the entire game. Duh. But having players who can carry the puck and take it up ice minimized those opportunities. Plain and simple.

    NHL videogaming

    It's improved a ton since being on Steam. Definitely worth a try. I will warn it's extremely addictive though.

    NHL videogaming

    For all those who enjoy the management of a hockey team, I'm genuinely surprised their is a bigger community for Eastside Hockey Manager. Especially since its gone on Steam. Obviously it's more complicated than NHL15 but is about 100x more in depth and enjoyable/gratifying. Not to mention it's just $14.99.
