I liked this joke. Undeserving? Debatable. It's all light-hearted fun either way

Damn. I posted something hockey related in the hockey section. My bad. Go troll somewhere else. No bites here.

Am I the only one who thinks Babs is being cynical when he says "working out like crazy" ? Yes. Very much so.

Do not doubt the mighty UKRedWing. Maybe by playing NHL12, otherwise no.

Yes. Wasn't that the easiest game ever?

Looks like a 5-2 win. SCORING SUMMARY Period 1 Detroit - Marek Tvrdon (Brendan Smith, Mitchell Callahan) 11:45 Detroit - Marek Tvrdon (Mitchell Callahan) 17:01 Period 3 Detroit - Bryan Rufenach (Mitchell Callahan, Marek Tvrdon) 2:15 Detroit - Joakim Andersson (Gustav Nyquist, Artem Sergeev) 2:49 Detroit - Trevor Parkes (Andrej Nestrasil, Landon Ferraro) 3:41 3 assists for Callahan. What a goon!

Brad Winchester - San Jose Sharks Ryan Hollweg - Phoenix Coyotes (lol)

But apparently being top scorer and consistent MVP for the Grand Rapids Griffins in a loyal 4 year career and over 200 games of nothing but giving 110% wasn't enough for renowned for "loyalty" Ken Holland to reward me with just one measly call up. Not even as a black ace. Sorry, thought I was Jamie Tardif for a second.

Might as well go for Brian Sutherby. Only 4 minor penalties in 51 games (and 10 majors). Puts up similar numbers to Johnson as well.

Can't believe that was less than two years ago

Out of all those UFA's we offer a try out to Ryan Johnson? K.

He was the heavyweight champ of the NHL before he retired. Something everyone who respected him can remember him by. RIP Champ.

I think the problem with this team lies a lot higher than the coaching staff... Also feel sorry for Callahan. He's going to want to shout his mouth off all game every game but there's no one to protect him. He can't hide behind the instigator rule in this league because players/goons aren't bothered about the penalties. Shame. He won't be the same player.

Hudler. We'd at least be able to get SOMETHING from him in a trade. Like a 7th pick in 2013.

This team is going to struggle to do anything other than be a bottom half team. Holland has done nothing to improve the team and I can't believe he's trying to pass over his NHL ideal of all skill no grit into the AHL and then fill the team with young rookies. That's a recipe for disaster. The team has lost it's two highest scorers and not replaced them. The team has got rid of all its existing grit minus Amadio who apparently is being shopped around and replaced it with Callahan, a 5 foot 10 rookie fresh out of juniors. So there will be even less scoring than last season, worse defense if Janik is up in the NHL as expected and they'll be getting run all game every game by the AHL goons because they're all small, young rookies with no one to back them up. Fantastic. I can't wait.

This is an adequate signing. Still think we're worse than last season as it stands though.

This all day.

Good job he has those magic scouts isn't it.

He's on a one way contract so I think its pretty certain myself.

Maybe Ericsson used Eva Unit Zero stats logic on Holland to prove he's worth $3.25m. I'm sure it's possible to find one piece of stats from an obscure date to prove it.

We already have a Doug Janik? Don't want another one. I'm happy with one.

Lets not forget our scouts! I think they have had a bigger role than anyone else in keeping this team up there with their late round gems since the lockout. Yeah. I'd hate to have a Franzen style contract on my roster.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LQisCzyGhU I want round 3. And I don't want Shane O'Brien to be a Red Wing.

I know the cap has gone up but some of these overpayments are almost like trying to save face for trading a pack for negotiating rights. PS: Zenon Konopka has said the Islanders aren't re-signing him. There's one more great 4th line option that Kenny won't consider.
