    Holland on The Huge Show.

    Clarkson is the way to go!
  2. You bet I did. Typical no call that usually cost us the game, luckily another awkward call negated this!
  3. What a disappointing show from the Wings. I'm more upset by the non call when Smith got high sticked in the face and the sloppy play that lead to Handzus goal than the seemingly weak penalty shot call. I think Tootoo should get a shot next game. He is our only answer to Bickell.

    Diving

    The NHL should be able to review dives and suspend after the fact, just like they do with hits. Dive equals one game suspension and repeat offenders get three games automatically.

    Wings Sign D Mattias Backman today per DRW twitter

    Mattias was a member of the gold winning Swedish WJCH team in 2012! Potential top four defenseman I would say.

    Should we bring Tootoo in for game 4?

    I think so. Someone must adjust Bickell's attitude. Best thing would be if he skated into a Kronwalling.
  7. "You hated him 364 days a year and on the 365th day you got your Stanley Cup ring" -Steve Shutt, Montreal Canadiens, on Scotty Bowman. Always liked that qoute. I imagine Babcock being somewhat similar.

    Cleary breakaway (stickless)

    I believe Roszival fell on it. No penalty in my opinion.

    Valtteri Filppula's Value?

    I hope he leaves. He is not going to sign a contract for his true value, which I think he has shown is nomore than $ 3.5M. Absolutely horrible performance this season.

    WCQF Game 6 GDT : Ducks 3 at Red Wings 4 (OT) - (Series Tied 3-3)

    No it is ******* Filppula's fault. Awful play that gave the Ducks momentum. Totally unforced.

    Should Howard be benched?

    Why are the Ducks allowed to crash the crease? Where is the defense? The Ducks should not be that close to the net and certainly not be allowed to take a pass in that area. Has nothing to do with Howard.

    Abdelkader suspended 2 games for hit on Lydman

    I blame Brunner. His mistake hurt us more than Abdelkader's penalty. Down one after the penalty was not too bad, but then Brunner goes and cough's it up and it is downhill from there.

    The Wings Are 16-0-2 When Scoring Three or More Goals

    this team could not score last playoffs either, so there's more to it than bad break out passing. The scoring is simply not good. I hope it will turn around with this win but I'm not holding my breath.
  14. I also miss old school enforcers like Probert, Ciccone, McSorley. And Pavel Bure. He had great wheels!
  15. Players being able to police themselves. That is what I really miss.

    4/18 NHL GDT

    Because Detroit has never been swept before?

    The Race for Eight: Blue Jackets, Stars, Wings

    A chance at the first pick? You must not care that much about the playoffs then because that's a very slim shot.

    4/17 GDT: Red Wings 2 @ Flames 3

    First goal was definitely on Ericsson. It was he that mishandled the puck that was poke checked by Begin via Howard's skates. He should have been more careful. Second is on Howard although he was abandoned by his teammates.

    Playoff race vs. race for #1 pick.

    I'll trade that potential number one pick for the playoffs without hesitation.
  20. RyanBarnes!

    time to trade filppula?

    Me too. Even if he would improve, I dont ever think he is going to be a $5M player. I'm tired of seeing him trying to deke three players and spin around inside the offensive blueline. Trade him at the draft and spend the money elsewhere. Jarnkrok or Nyqvist can have his spot.

    Samuelsson

    Cut him loose!

    4/11 GDT : Sharks 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

    This!

    Why do you cheer for the Red Wings?

    If you have been a fan for many decades it is only natural that this team has very little in common with the team you used to cheer. That can be disappointing I guess.

    Why do you cheer for the Red Wings?

    I watched a tape of top 10 highlight goals back in the early 90s and some guy with a cool sounding name scored the # 3 and # 1 highlight goals on the list so I became a fan of him and the team. The player's name was Steve Yzerman.
