    1/5 GDT: Red Wings 3, Stars 0

    Totally missed this one, was watching the WJC and they showed Rafalski scoring in the highlights. Game was on wayyy to earlier for my liking. Nice to see Danny owning the ice out there, 14+14 baby.

    The Fight Thread

    Oh, well yeah, he isnt champ now, or a heavyweight. Still pretty entertaining for a middle weight though.

    He's only 19 though Lou, when he's say McGrattans age, I have no problem believing he'll be the champ.

    MLive - Tomas Kopecky Injures Hand

    See, thats why I'd love to have Keefe, challenging entire teams benchs is Kocur style. We need a little more loose cannon. I keep forgetting Helm isnt on Medicine Hat anymore, we should get him up here and play him with Drapes.

    Bell and Malone just went and it was a dandy. I'll give Bell the edge but they were throwing some bombs.

    Dan Cleary...barfight?

    If you were to ask him, he'd attribute his whole turnaround to Babs. Babs was the guy that cut him for I believe the 3rd time from the WJC, so Dan knew to make the Wings he had to work hard, and he's been brillant ever since. Babs has done it once, I'd like to see what he could do with Ryders career But in anycase, Babs knows how to get guys to work. He turned around Clearys career, Sammys, Liljas, even Ellis to some extent. And lets not forget Homer, who before Babcock was on the 2nd and 3rd lines, but with Babcock has become one of the best top line Right Wings in the NHL right now. He also does a great job with the young guys, Flip, Hudler, Kronwall, Lebda, Ellis, Kopecky, etc etc. Great coach.

    Do we need a tougher guy?

    There are a couple in the NHL now (Boll, Lucic, Carcillo) and a couple on the way (B. Sutter, Gillies, Van Riemsdyk, Legien). I'd love to have any one of these guys, also Gillies is gonna be a great player and I cant wait till he makes the Wilds roster. Fedoruk-Gillies-Boogaard will be a force.

    Do we need a tougher guy?

    Theres only a couple heavys worth giving something of value for IMO. Mcgrattan, Laraque and the Albino Rhino Wade Belak. Other then that, Downey and Drake is good for me.

    World Junior Semi-Finals

    Canada all the way baby. Beat USA on friday, and then Russia in the final. Turris and Stamkos will lead the way and Bernier will shut the door.

    Meech sent to Griffins; Holmstrom returns Sunday?

    Ah, I see. But conditioning stint? Isnt that when someones injured and there sent down to get back into game shape? Or can you do that with any player?

    u.f.a's for 2008

    I forgot all about Forsberg, he's done. I'd love Comrie, Gratton, Ryder or Sundin for a forward. Ward, Foote or Blake would be good for a defenceman.

    Meech sent to Griffins; Holmstrom returns Sunday?

    He was still eligible to be sent down????? And it took us this long to send him down, why would you keep him up when he could be logging 20 mins a night, PP and PK time. Why is he coming back up? Keep him in the minors so we wont lose him! Good that Homer is coming back, whenever Malts gets back, we'll have our full team and be unbeatable! (Yes, I went there).

    Is there any timeline for his return? I guess Hartigan is coming back up.

    Sergei Samsonov on Waivers

    Darren Dreger was talking about him on TSN tonight, he said there was 0 interest in Samsonov on waivers and very little on re-entry. Guys NHL career is over.

    Thoughts at the halfway mark

    We're this good now, how about after the trade deadline... I'm just glad Cleary and Osgood are having great seasons. 2 of the best guys on the team, Drake and Downey have played well lately. Cant ask for a whole lot mor

    Smid and Backes went tonight in the EDM/STL game tonight. It was a goodie, Smid gets the win.

    Dallas Drake

    He must read LGW because he played great tonight.
  21. Detroit # 1 Fan

    Do we need a tougher guy?

    I think Downey and Drake do an alright job for the most part. I dont think there is a need to get another enforcer, a guy like Malone or Gratton who can and will drop the gloves but put a few pucks in the net I wouldnt be opposed to!

    Boston/Anaheim Trade

    Bruins defence gets healthy it's gonna be one of the meanest and toughest in the league. Good deal for Boston. Bochenski was highly touted when he was with the sens, has disappointed since then.

    Favourite Junior Team?

    St Johns Fog Devils. Luke Adam is a family friend of mine and Mario Kempe is the next Kristian Huselius. Plus it's my hometown team. I really liked the Medicine Hat Tigers last year, Helm, Russel, Keetley, the Dorsetts. They were a fun team to watch.
