Who would argue this?

Can't ever hate on Sakic

Hopefully they abuse Ottawa

Hopefully we forecheck the hell out of the Sens and physically make them pay

How I felt watching this game

Love the signing. Ken Holland has been a real ******* to us fans with his decisions, but man that is a going to be a steal in a few years.

I think you mean you want Spezza or Ryan to try to move out of a hit, this allows any player to through fists, elbows, sticks, it doesn't matter so long as the other person didn't want to be hit it is there fault.

Remember when the Isles physically abused the Pens after the bullying the Pens did previously. dude it doesn't. We had 3 5 on 3's which obviously won us the game.....

we also lost the game and have Datsyuk sitting out next game, so the whole we had 3 5 on 3's and didn't convert doesn't really matter. You can have a team not full of scrubs and still become bigger and tougher. Hell if we are going have a team full of scrubs I'd at least like them to be able to make the game 1) Entertaining 2) actually protect the 2 or 3 actual hockey players on the team. When Ott. was flying into the boards all night long attempting to check it really made me wish we had Tootoo out there

Dan Cleary is the exact example of what is wrong with this team. We can be grateful when he retires, until then he is an anchor dragging down the team.

It would have at least been exciting with Glendening, Tootoo out there instead of Sammy, Cleary. Someone may have actually stopped Ottawa from all that "extra" stuff. your top 6 is missing a certain player....

naww man, hookings, now those are penalties... That was a pretty s***ty reffed game

I don't know how you could feel Alfie has been the problem. Wasn't he 3rd in points (on the team) before he was injured?

so it took 17 seconds for Nyquist to proven Holland has fallen asleep at the wheel

They just said on 97.1 Nyquist was recalled

Most people don't think we are going to miss the playoffs. People are pissed off and completely justified because Holland and Babcock seem to be watching a different game than everyone else. Cleary is the example, Holland signed him and he's a useless player basically could have burned money in a barrel and have more worth, staying warm. Yesterday Babcock plays this guy who is the worst player on the ice, and he gets a 4 minute penalty. After that penalty he doesn't get sat, like Tatar or Brunner would, he is sent back out there for a pulled goalie situation. Actions like this make it look as though they are actively playing against us. Holland and Babcock should be ashamed of the product they provided recently and that is all because of nepotism and stubbornness. Unless they are using the season as a practice. Like someone running with weights and once they are taken off they can run much faster. After we lose the dead weight we'll be f****** Usain Bolt!!!!! Those Brilliant Bastards!

For sure, it's like they have to mind f*** the kids and if they can withstand.Then they are safe for the next 15-30 years.

Ken Holland you suck

All I see is people simply asking Holland to dump dead weight and bring up more youth. He didn't have to wait until next year if he didn't act like a ******* moron in the 1st place, especially this year. Nobody is claiming to be able to replace Holland themselves, but it's pretty telling when 99% of armchair GM in Red Wings nation can all agree on a terrible move.

It especially doesn't make sense when we have a pretty solid goalie pipeline as well. Mzarek and Paterson.

wait are we talking about Cleary still or Franzen? Lose Cleary add Nyquist, Lose Quincey add Almquist, f*** the cap!

but how the f*** do you make a mistake an entire fanbase can see before hand? Jurco was insane last year in the playoffs too. Dude seriously had the puck following him. yes. Tootoo is a better hockey player than Cleary in every facet of the game. I am well aware of Cleary playing on the PP/PK but he is still just a blackhole of talent. He makes anyone on his line worse.

Wish the players would have started swinging into the crowd like they did back in the day

?? We need Nyquist!! On two other notes, Jurco is looking good in the AHL as well and when Cleary going to go on "LTIR" like Sammy and Mule have when consistently playing like s***.

There is no way he is as bad as Lebda
