    Do Quincey and Smith have a future in Detroit?

    Dude's only 24! And this is only his second go-around as a regular! He drives me crazy most nights, but that's to be expected with a young offensive defenseman. Quincey, on the other hand....
  2. I feel like the threat of a possible $2-3 million hit is, for the Red Wings at least, not a very big deal. Just look at our current roster: we have at least two or three "penalties" in Quincey, Cleary, and Samuelsson. That's roughly $10 million that could've been put towards a quality free agent or a great trade opportunity or what have you. Yet, we're still a very good, competitive team. We should stick with Franzen.

    12/7 GDT: Panthers 2 at Red Wings 1

    Nice work, Mabus! We're probably going to lose this one. All the former Wings will score, and Weiss and Bertuzzi and Samuelsson will score own-goals.

    Dodger Stadium Game Jerseys

    What is going on in the Getzlaf photo? He looks like he's wearing 40 layers of shirts, or he's a fat man in a too-small sweatshirt. And the jersey looks like a disaster. I don't mind the Kings' look.

    Looks like Monster will be starting tonight: https://twitter.com/wingsfrontman/status/409344735342362624
  6. Suppose Brad Richards gets bought out. Would you like him on the Wings? He's already a Holland-type player (veteran, humble, plays the game the right way, etc.) Add to that the "reclamation project" angle and I've gotta think Kenny would be very interested.

    Brunner hasn't scored since 10/26? Yikes.

    Didn't watch this one. Too upset over the Philly loss. Very glad to see we got the win. Love that Franzen is stepping up and leading. Love that Tatar is "grabbing the cheese." Love that Monster is 8-0-1. Love the news about Datsyuk.

    Darren Helm Injured

    Red Wings who have been injured in one form or another this season: Alfredsson Bertuzzi Datsyuk DeKeyser Eaves Ericsson Franzen Gustavsson Helm Howard Kronwall Nyquist Quincey Smith Tootoo Weiss Zetterberg I'm not 100% sure about a few of those. But you get the point.

    So, wait, is Emmerton playing?

    Zetterberg out at least 2 weeks with herniated disc

    O muh Gawd. Weiss is cold. Players go cold, have highs and lows. Even Z has gone cold in the past. In fact, there was a time when people here thought Z's career was pretty much over. And Z wasn't even coming off surgery, a missed season (essentially), and a move from Sunrise, Florida to Hockeytown, USA.

    Do Quincey and Smith have a future in Detroit?

    I, Mr. Crystal Baller, foresee that Quincey will be dealt or not brought back, Kindl will be dealt, and Smith will be a Red Wing for a long time. I, Mr. Armchair GM, would try to acquire Alex Edler for something like Quincey, Kindl, Pulkkinen, and a 1st-round pick. Kronwall Ericsson Edler DeKeyser Smith Lashoff Almqvist

    Zetterberg out at least 2 weeks with herniated disc

    Not sure I fully agree. But the fact that we can even have that conversation now is pretty incredible. We've gone from being a two-man show to an actual team, and all in the span of, like, a week. Which, tbh, has me kind of excited about the next couple of weeks.

    Zetterberg out at least 2 weeks with herniated disc

    Franzen has seven points in the last four games, or something like that. He's really stepped up with Datsyuk out and is a major reason why we're riding an impressive four-game winning streak. I know you hate him, but come on.

    The Hockey Gods are testing us. Monumental adversity. If we pass the test, we go on to win the Cup. Then we say, "Y'know, looking back, that was probably the turning point for this team," and such. That's how it works, right?

    Quincey. (Kronwall.)

    Hull "Avery doesn't get to talk to Sakic"

    Cool story. Joe Sakic 100% deserved that kind of respect. I hated the mid-90s Avs with all my heart, but their captain was the big exception. Nothing but respect (and fear, because he was always clutch against us) for him. An incredible, classy player.

    Actually, that part doesn't surprise me at all. It really only takes a couple good thumps to the kidneys. (I know this from my adventures with kidney stones, lolz.) But they were definitely tough SOBs. You don't want to be in any kind of skirmish with Joey Kocur.
