Good on Big Rig getting in there.

NO. Andy still plays for New Jersey. Matt's in LA. (sorry couldn't help myself.)

Larkin with an assist on the 2nd goal

At least!

Naw. Pile it on. ...or is it because of Cleary's absence?

MOAR POINTS THAN KONNER MACDAYVEEED.

Larkin to Abby!

I can't believe that Kadri is their #1C. I mean, I know that's all they got, but... jeez.

So close for Franzen. Worthless slug.

Guess we'll find out just how "classy" Detroit is...

There are no "do-overs." It's done. Move on or don't. ...but you're wrong. He won't be missed even if he does end up good. So... What are Marchenko, XO, Jensen, Sproul, Saarijarvi? Chopped liver?

True sign of the apocalypse: LGW all agrees on something. Yup. ...and the handful of games he's going to get at the NHL level is only going to help, not harm.

I think I'd go so far to say, "definitely better" than "supposed to be"

There will always be "big hits" in hockey. They just can't be reckless and "questionably" to the head. Take the frigging boddy for chrissakes. I'd like to think that Scott Stevens would have been smart enough to adjust his game. Raffi Torres? Obviously, not so much. Thankfully you can relive all of the olden days of BIG HIT HOCKEY on YouTube. Enjoy.

Here's my bold prediction: Dylan Larkin will be sent down to Grand Rapids once Datsyuk and/or Helm are healthy whether he is tearing it up or not. Holland is not going to make roster moves to keep Larkin in the lineup. He may have to do so to keep the plethora of other forwards we have, but it won't be for Larkin.

I too would like to see Pulkkinen and Jurco in the line up as much as possible so that we can get a true understanding of just what we have with them as players. I understand that completely. On the other hand, I really like that Larkin made the team. The reason why I like this so much is just the simple fact that a 19 year old hasn't made the team out of training camp since Steve Yzerman. If nothing else, it signifies a glimmer of change in the way this team handles prospects. I don't forsee the team making hard choices to keep Larkin in the lineup. When Helm and/or Datsyuk are ready to come back and we need to send someone down, it's a non-issue because Larkin has waiver eligibility. I do want him to tear it up in the AHL, but a couple weeks up with the Wings isn't going to hurt his development nor is it shelving Pulkkinen and/or Jurco for an obscene amount of time.

The funny thing is that we already have enough forwards to fill all the lines and then some. It's going to be a challenge just to slot all those guys into the right spaces.Even then, barring a trade, we'll still have talented forwards that are going to have to sit EVEN BEFORE Dats and Helm get back ...and STILL people are worried about Cleary sitting in the pressbox. Sitting. Not playing. Sitting. Hell, he's not even taking a roster spot from the youngsters in GR right now. So just give it a ******* rest.

Kindl to IR -- So there's your 23-man opening day roster: 15 Forwards, 6 Defensemen, and our Goalie Tandem.

For Cleary, the Pressbox is probably worse than getting sent down. Say what you will about his play... I mean, what else is left to say... but the guy wants to play.
