    Helm up, McCarty tp GR (+ line combos vs Habs)

    The whining is predictable but fear not Helm is more than likely back to GR after tonight's game with McCarty coming back. This move was all about creating energy after a long road trip. Since many of you will just gloss over the fact (and my post for that matter), please continue to overreact and grab your umbrellas to shield yourself from the falling sky.

    He pulled his groin actually.

    Laraque isn't even playing tonight.

    Helm up, McCarty tp GR (+ line combos vs Habs)

    Downey has been a healty scratch in GR since he's really not doing anything of use and odds are McCarty will get a few games with extra minutes in GR then be called back up. As for Laraque, there's a reason why he was let go by the Penguins, he doesn't fight anymore or at least he doesn't fight for real anymore. It's obvious that you're a fight fan but get a grip.

    Nope, Meech would get claimed.

    Kopecky would get claimed McCarty won't. Hence the reason why he was sent down.

    Kopecky-Datsyuk-Hossa Franzen-Zetterberg-Samuelsson Hudler-Filppula-Helm Meech-Draper-Maltby Lidstrom-Rafalski Kronwall-Stuart Lebda-Lilja I really like that 3rd line, tons of speed there.

    Player grades at 20-game mark

    Don't be. I agree with the majority of your grades and while its great to have high standards you need to realize how good this team is. One of the major ones I disagree with Konann is about giving Stuart a C- and the only comment being about his point totals. Stuart isn't here to produce offensively, he's here to be solid defensively and physical. He started slow but has been very good lately and is a B at worst.

    how about this line?

    And it seems to have paid off with Hudler and Samuelsson on pace for career seasons. Samuelsson wasn't working with Filppula and Hudler wasn't working with Z/Franzen during even strength. Ever since the lines got switched everything has been gravy.

    McCarty done with the wings?

    Correct. McCarty played the game after.

    Lidstrom calls himself out

    http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2008/11/li...imself_out.html "I think I can play better," Lidstrom said. "I think I can be better for 60 minutes. Looking at the team, that's something the team hasn't done either, so you have to look at the individuals that haven't played well for 60 minutes."

    What $9 can buy ya...

    They're decent seats.

    Lidstrom calls himself out

    He dove falling backwards? Interesting. This is all complete overreaction. 18 games, 14 points, no penalties up until last night. Playing less minutes consistently than he has in years. Did Lidstrom look better last year? Sure. Did he look better in the playoffs? Of course. Is he playing badly by his own standards? Nope. One extra mistake a game doesn't warrant all of this craziness.

    Lidstrom calls himself out

    Nick got owned? I also saw people calling him a pylon? He fell down, big freaking deal. First major facial injury, new visor, new skates, new gloves, new stick. He's playing fine.

    Red Wings place forward Darren McCarty on waivers

    I can assure you that if this turns into another enforcer vs. anti enforcer thread the redundancy won't continue.

    Red Wings place forward Darren McCarty on waivers

    He doesn't, which is why he'll be in the lineup on Thursday. Breath GMR, try and realize the situation before overreacting. McCarty was waived on Oct 20th, he's waived again on November 18th. It's not a coincidence.

    Red Wings place forward Darren McCarty on waivers

    I'll post this a few times. Downey was waived 4 or 5 times last year and was never reassigned. This is about cap flexibility. Waiving someone does not mean they get reassigned to GR.

    Red Wings place forward Darren McCarty on waivers

    Um. McCarty isn't going anywhere, he's getting waived like Downey did last year. He'll be in the lineup on Thursday. So relax. Heatodamus has a prediction!!!!! On the 18th day in the 12th month of the year of 2008, Darren McCarty will be waived again. OOoooohooohhhhh
