    No Outside Help

    I understand and believe Kenny, but at the same time, would not be suprised if he acquired someone if we continue to play poorly or another gets injured.. He could be playing tough with some FA's, who knows..

    What to do with Lebda?

    hmm lol @ this comment from above link: bradley97 Here's a thought: Lebda and Meech are basically the same defenseman, with Meech two years younger and becoming an RFA this summer. Lebda becomes a UFA this summer. Since the Wings seem to need a veteran defensive shutdown defenseman to kill penalties, rough some players up, and work with Ericsson so he can just play, how about trading Lebda (a fast puck mover who will likely get an offer the Wings cannot afford to match in the off season) to Carolina for former Wing Aaron Ward? I know what people will say: "Are you nuts?! The Wings let him go for a reason!" But he was key in winning a Cup with Carolina, is a right hand shot, is a veteran in his mid thirties, has oodles of experience, is familiar with how to play puck possession as he was here when it started, and is also a UFA this summer. Plus, with the injuries the Wings should be able to absorb his $2.5 M prorated contract even when Filppula and Franzen return if they don't waste the additional per day cap space, which Holland is doing his best to maintain. As the Wings have already brought back two former players, why not complete the hattrick? Add in the possibility of Ward killing penalties with Lidstrom, providing a physical edge, and the ability of spending time on the right side of Lidstrom who always plays best with a right hand defesneman opposite himself so that Rafalski can work with Ericsson here and there to mix things up, and that Kronwall could also benefit from playing with Ward at times, and I see the possibility of a real win/win for both teams. End Quote ______ We can't do that with the cap, correct?

    10/29 GDT: Red Wings 5 at Oilers 6, (SO)

    Hate to agree with mindfly ( ) but having Pavel playing is important. Hope he can play. I know Babs and Pavel have said he's in, but we all know how the medical staff are.. better safe than sorry. 4-1 Wings (Homer continues his streak x1, Z x1, Bert x2) Oil - Hemsky J-Ho will play well given the confidence gained from last game.

    10/27 GDT: Red Wings 5 at Canucks 4

    I'm here eating crow this morning (look at my first reply to the OP).. The good: pavs hopefully will score more often.. j-ho has some newly refound confidence coming back and saving our bacon, thanks to ozzie.. and flip really is on his game, some nice passes to bert and willy The bad: we really cannot rely on our guys to score 5 a night - our D/goalie holes are still there and need to be plugged. All in all, glad to have 2 more points

    The wings will suck.. We've been told to expect less, so instead of hoping for the best, I'm now expecting it (less). Anything else, well, that would be a suprise

    maybe i'm retarded, but if the avs got their 4th goal (making it 4-4), why would Det get the EN with under 50 to play?
