    Will the NHL Ever Go to a Wider Rink?

    Mixed feelings about this. The wider ice would definately ease the transition for the ever-increasing population of European players. On the other hand, as other have mentioned, is the costs. And, if Don Cherry hasn't already blown up about it, I can see traditionalist getting pissed off at such a drastic change to the sport.

    2/10 GDT : Kings 2 at Red Wings 3

    With that photo, he's onside. Think about it from a defensemen's point of view. Kronner at the point with the puck for example. He's still onside.

    http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26497 My interpretation is that as long as the puck is 100% on the blueline and you are either bringing it in or a drop-pass and if you're in control of the puck (similar to how they let players skate in backwards and pick up the puck off the blueline).

    2/7 GDT : Red Wings 5 at St. Louis Blues 1

    Mrazek played great. The only goal against was in a wide open net, but he made great saves. I don't think the Backes hit was as terrible as some people think. Dats seemed a little bit shocked for a few seconds, but then he was back to his regular shifts.

    Finally looks like they are shaking some rust off. Hopefully they can start to get all 4 lines in the action each game.

    Mike Ilitch's Apearance

    Let's lighten up a bit here. Poking fun at the guy must mean we hate everything he's ever done and think he's a bum.

    You hit Harpo Marx on the nose haha. I've always thought the same thing. Plus, his hairpiece should've retired a long time ago

    Zetterberg's Great But...

    Zetterberg is grittier and has a shoot first mentality. Datsyuk has the best hands in the game. He's also the best passer in the league. I don't know if it's fair to compare them, they compliment each other and that makes them both great.

    Cleary = You either like him or don't. No one's mind will be changed on this. That's as unbiased as I can get.

    Good for him. Nice to see that he can get in some more NHL games before he retires.

    1/22 GDT : Stars 2 at Red Wings 1

    Each and every game so far. Yes, they are terribly rusty/out of sync, but everyone is already calling for every player's head to roll. It's a short season, but we're only 1-2 (if we don't win tonight). Is there a reason to worry? Not yet. And yes, I realize it's a shortened season, but you have to give them a handful of games to hopefully start to gel.
