0 - 1 so far.... 14 points remain to be gotten in the 8 game stretch ....can't believe I actually typed that with a straight face...

and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night and decided that our new number one is Coreau as he has a .908 SV% and sits between our two "stud" goalies with a 2.94 GAA. Judgement is on his current sample size and "gut" feeling. He is big like every other goalie so we would be trending in net like all the other teams. I started this as a more tongue and cheek but what if Coreau starts blowing it up as in doing well right now? Does it give us hope for the future? Do we have more flexibility come the deadline? Guess I better stay again at the Holiday Inn tonight to ponder these questions.

After seeing Scotty and his assistants last night. I would see if they would take Babcock style money to run the team till the trade deadline and tell me who needs to get booted/kept. I would then take a position upgrade to VP or something similar and hire another GM. Then I have washed my hands of the issue and my "legacy" is still awesome. as far as contract redos if Luca isn't available let Kocur and Mac take care of the issue.

Should have dressed the 97 team last night and probably had a better chance at 2 points

I am already thinking seeing the Wings in Vegas could be a lot of fun do some gambling catch a show and game. Almost as good as being downtown Detroit catching a show at the Fox, Greektown Casino, and a game.

I like that hit by Hicketts showing zero fear perhaps someone can show Big E that's how to hit. OR could we transfer Hicketts into Big E's body?

3 games this week and every game is a 4 pointer 3 Carolina - GP 31 Pts 33 4 Tampa - GP 32 Pts 33 5 Florida - GP 32 Pts 33 6 Detroit - GP 32 Pts 32 After tonight we are even with Boston in GP. Could be down 5( reg loss) or 4(loser point) or 3 (win) to them For as crappy as we have been playing its amazing we are still semi in the hunt. Woulda/Shoulda done more with the homestand.

duh it's reverse psychology like complimenting a goalie on a shutout jinxes him. Thanking the Wings for the past flips the karma switch and they make the playoffs. If the karma switch doesn't flip then it's still a nice thought. So win/win

If this is the rebirth of the Dead Wings era I sure hope the ticket prices begin to show that. I paid out the hind end for 2 tickets to the NYI game in Feb. The way things are going they will be giving away a car at that game so I have that possibility.

Wow I am surprised it's that many points...

Have it too and its actually led to some heart issues so retrying CPAP. So get on that machine Marcaractac ASAP

Good news.... http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2016/12/red_wings_andreas_athanasiou_t.html

I second that we are supposed to be buried by our children not the reverse. What a sucky situation for the family to deal with especially it being the holidays. Best we can do is offer prayers of strength to the family. I can't imagine Ken would do the play by play for the next week at a minimum so who covers for him in situations like this?

Laughing my butt off whatta sissy.

Maybe they have toured the new facility and are upset that the locker room is better there? I lived through the Dead Wings era, The return to glory years, and now the Non effort era. I have watched fewer games this year due to travel but when I have watched. My blood pressure goes up and I get angry so not worth it. I will do my annual trip to the Joe but looking at the Fri/Sat games I feel there are min chances for a win...on a positive maybe ticket prices will stay down.

Didn't Nielsen run with Tavares last year? Hmm Tavares is kinda sniper type guy Vanek is pissed and wanting to score and he kinda sorta our sniper. Why not put them together along with a piano puller? Or maybe the magic Eight Ball sorted these new lines.

sitting 25th in the league after last night our quest for a high end pick begins.....hmmm along with Chicago, Columbus, Buffalo etc etc. This team needs to learn how NOT to relax. They have no killer instinct in them like past Wings teams had. Notice how Tampa cranked it up at tie and especially after gaining the lead? I think that's what we lack but hey its just my opinion and 81 games to go. We could go 81 - 1 this year.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2016/07/survey_ranks_red_wings_21st_am.html#incart_river_index Okay how many times did folks from here vote against Kenny.. Interesting quote from article "The Red Wings were once the best front office in the NHL running the best team in the NHL," Luszczyszyn wrote. "It's hard not to see that's all in the past though. People still have faith in their ability to find hidden gems at the draft, but not much else. "The team has done a lot of work to try and keep their playoff streak alive, but it's likely hurting the team long term as they seem content with one round of playoff hockey per year."...and LGW collectively says no s...

Be on the same treadmill especially if we had missed by a whisker.

Not sure who should be more insulted by the above statement. Crosby being compared to Johnson or Z being compared to Glenndog.

perfect cap to the day!!

and now we know why Stammer stayed no way he didn't know about this...Front and backend studs

I think after Stamkos stayed in Tampa Holland panicked. Oh well a potential bumpy season awaits ......gotta suck to be the coach. It's like being a carpenter asked to build a house with a bunch of screwdrivers and you asked your boss for at least 1 hammer. Hope Blasch has a LARGE supply of Tums ready for the season.

How much left in KH's piggy bank?
