CenterIce reacted to stevkrause in Chris Osgood announces retirement
It's a media conf call (http://www.kuklaskorner.com), not a press conference... I think the complete opposite, I think they're announcing he's coming back for a year, if it were an actual presser, I would think retirement too, but a conf call usually means a contract signing... love it or hate it, it is what it is

CenterIce got a reaction from rage in NHLPA investigating Predators
That is one of the reasons Tallon is the Florida GM now, instead of still being in Chicago.

CenterIce got a reaction from stevkrause in Red Wings Name New Assistant Coaches
What about the road trips? It sounds like he wanted to see his kids more. Not going to be able to see them, while you are on the road.

CenterIce got a reaction from Majsheppard in Ehrhoff's rights traded to NYI, then traded to Buffalo
Actually, they do. Can be fined, lose draft picks, or lose contracts, if they don't.

CenterIce got a reaction from kipwinger in Scoring isn't really the Issue
Detroit was 2nd in goals per game and 23rd in goals against per game, this season. Yes, the team defense is what needs to improve.
By the way. Those numbers change to 4th and 5th; respectively, in the playoffs.

CenterIce reacted to IrishWing19 in interesting possibility
If you announce your retirement, you can't play in the NHL for a year. Neidermayer didn't make an announcement, he just didn't sign a contract with anyone. There's no way Rafalski reverses his decision.

CenterIce reacted to GMRwings1983 in Is San Jose more talented than us?
Why should this matter?
This isn't the NBA. You can't win on talent alone. We've seen the Wings lose plenty of times to teams we were more talented than at pretty much every position. Why can't we do the same thing to someone else?
Will beats skill in hockey, and SJ is not that much more talented than us for the Wings to lose this series regardless of that fact.
We're just too lazy.

A couple of quotes this message board would like:

CenterIce reacted to sleepwalker in Lidstrom a +1 for the Season
I agree, great to see Nik at a plus.
But, c'mon... Lets not dis Stuart now.
If anything, everyone should now realize what a vital role Stuart played for our team... since he has been out, our defense has pretty much totally ******* sucked...

CenterIce reacted to Original-Six in Lidstrom a +1 for the Season
Probably something to do with the team finally not letting in 3-4 goals a game. Hopefully they keep it that way.

CenterIce got a reaction from Vladifan in 2/2 GDT: Franzen 5 + Red Wings 2 (7) at Senators (5)
Yes, and he has a bad back, was crammed into the boards earlier, and is on the same line as Franzen who has 4.

CenterIce got a reaction from Vladifan in 2/2 GDT: Franzen 5 + Red Wings 2 (7) at Senators (5)
We do the same thing when it happens to the Wings.

Lidstrom's back. Lots of guys screening the goalie, there.
Are you watching the same game? There have been 10 goals scored.

CenterIce got a reaction from Vladifan in 2/2 GDT: Franzen 5 + Red Wings 2 (7) at Senators (5)
Um, the problem is not one coach. McCrimmon coaches the defensemen. That doesn't mean he came up with and enacted the entire defensive game plan. That would be all three coaches. Defense requires all five guys on the ice working together. As it can be seen, the Wings start and end periods flat. I believe that is mostly on the players relaxing too much. They need a full focused 60 minutes.

CenterIce got a reaction from dobbles in Nabokov claimed by NYI, refuses to report, suspended
He cannot be placed on the waiver wire until Friday at noon, according to Mickey Redmon. So, their is no shortening of the waiver period. We will not know until Saturday at noon, if he has been picked up.

CenterIce got a reaction from Grim in Nabokov claimed by NYI, refuses to report, suspended
For the people who think Osgood is gone for the rest of the year, think of this. Groin injuries are tough for hockey players, especially goalies. Osgood is predicted to start playing again around early March. He will not be in game shape, then. It will take some time for him to get back up to speed. Picking up Nabokov allows Osgood more time to get ready and provides some veteran presence for a group of mostly young guys in the system, while Osgood is away healing.

CenterIce got a reaction from 55fan in Nabokov claimed by NYI, refuses to report, suspended
No, all it means is that the Wings would have 3 goalies on their roster for the rest of the regular season.

The waiver rule itself covers that a player cannot be placed in the AHL after they have signed a contract after December 15, when starting the season outside of North America. The NMC just ensures that Nabokov has control over where he can end up, which might deter some teams from grabbing him.

CenterIce reacted to puckloo39 in Jimmy Howard will be back in net Thursday
Howard is like most goalies - as his defense goes, so goes his game. With the players we have had injured and the duration of the outages, I am not really surprised Howard is worn down and off his game.
There are really very few goalies playing right now who I consider game-stealers, aside from Thomas, on occasion.
We expect way too much of this team. That said, they looked like they were skating in a different dimension last night. They have to be better, or there is no hope for Jimmy.
Get out the torches and pitchforks. It's been a while since the fans have run a goalie out of town in Detroit, for playing as well if not better than the majority of NHL goaltenders... it's Jimmy's turn!

CenterIce reacted to ricky0034 in THN: Zetterberg should be disciplined for skipping ASG
technically Zetterberg wasn't selected for the all star game which means him not going violates no rule at all

CenterIce got a reaction from 13dangledangle in Howard leaves game with bruised knee
McCollum is getting called up. They are not going to be picking up a new goalie any time soon.
