    The MANtha watch.....

    "He finished his commentary by saying that Datsyuk loves playing with Abdelkader, the piano puller, and that he was also very complimentary to Mantha. Mickey said that maybe playing with Mantha next year would be enough to entice Datsyuk to stay." Not even close to what you said lol

    The MANtha watch.....

    If it was "WIDELY" reported...As you stated...Then I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding a couple sources. Heck I'm sure we'd just settle for one lol Just because you BOLD something, doesn't make it true.

    Who's to blame?

    Actually you're both wrong.... ...It's Dale. lol

    2017 Draft

    Here's hoping we can add another few picks to at least increase the odds

    Does this week define this team's chances?

    It'll be interesting to see what we do at the deadline if we continue this trend...

    Our Young Players

    Well Mrazek here's your chance...

    2017 Draft

    Seems like it's the wrong year to need a defenseman...

    Our Young Players

    Really looking forward to seeing how Givani Smith develops.

    You really think Lucic is of the same calibre as Shanahan?

    The Dead Wings.

    What no nickname yet? You're slacking Frank... PuljaGODvi? PuljaMUHAMMEDvi? PuljaIMTHEBESTESTvi?

    Be honest..

    I think the first mistake people make is thinking first rounders are guaranteed impact players. They're not. For the past 10 years we have not picked very high. If you want to say we are not successful at it, at least give a comparable. What team has picked that low for the past decade and has so much more to show for it?

    Be honest..

    I can't imagine guys of their calibre agreeing to one year deals with a team that's blowing it up. Nobody wanted to sign in Toronto under those circumstances. All they could get on a one year deal was Parenteau and nobody wanted him.

    I'd rather the Griffins win hockey games.

    What to do about Vanek

    Hall - Larsson and Subban - Weber?

    Even the coaches are tougher than other sports

    How does a coach getting hit in the head with a paper airplane and him acting like it was a bowling ball benefit the team in any way?

    Mike McKee

    McKee can't even crack a college roster and some people want him on the Wings? It takes alot of skill to crack the NHL. Different types for different roles. Let's not minimize that. It's disrespectful to the entire league. Goons and all.

    What to do about Vanek

    It would take half the farm and/or multiple first rounders to get a player like OEL if he was ever on the market. That kind of defeats the whole purpose of what we're trying to accomplish here. We'd basically be Arizona without any of the good young players or prospects...

    What to do about Vanek

    But Frank's a Euro guys... supposedly...so it's OK for him to use mass stereotypes and blanket statements. Whatever that means...

    and Las Vegas hockey team is...

    I feel like once they weren't able to go with Knights or Black Knights, they should have went in another direction. Las Vegas Golden Knights is quite a mouthful.

    Be honest..

    I think you actually bring up a good point here and I agree to an extent. The one thing I do get excited about is seeing our team speed....when the transition game isn't completely off the rails. Also Sproul's slap shot. It's been a while since we've had a shot like that from the point. But those are not worth the price of admission. lol

    Tanking for 8 years?? lol I don't even know what to say anymore...

    Conflict in the Crease

    In gambling it is. Not when talking about people and sports though. Mental status and confidence plays a big role in ability and outcome. I don't see the comparison between playing cards and people.

    Frk claimed by the Carolina Hurricanes

    Let him go for the simple reason he clearly doesn't have a future in this organization. He will only take away top AHL minutes from a developing prospect who may have a future.

    Conflict in the Crease

    Goalie competition is a very positive thing. Having said that...Mrazek needs to show more consistency to take on a larger role. Especially with Howard playing well.

    DoughJoe gets coverage on TSN/BarDown

    Also your website talks about a "Mickey Redman" fellow. I don't think that helps legitimize your website...
