Quality win, it could have turned out much worse. I'll take the 2 points, and the fake snow.

Good apple for Mrazek

Now hold the lead.. please. EDIT: Nevermind

I hope JR feels better about himself beating a kid in a hardest shot competition.

I literally keep laughing when there is a further away shot and I see fake snowing flying around in the sky. It's killing me.

What an unbelievable shot.. wow.

What? How did that happen?

This is getting a bit frustrating to watch, a lot of mental errors.

I'd say he played awesome, easily his best game all season. The end result was unfortunate.

What a stop

OP updated! Larkin is a gametime decision, if that's the case, Pulks will be taking his spot on that line as it was during morning skate. Lets win big, and start a better trend this week of success. 5-2 Wings, 3 point night out of Abdelkader. LGW!!

You definitely went to the right game, glad you had a good time!

Great GDT, reminds me of an old school boxing poster. Nice job Nerve! Let's see if Howard can get us that elusive W.

Generic, epic facepalm, thanks to Vladdy for even reminding me, I completely forgot about my GDT, GDT. I'll throw something together here shortly, and apologize for the delay. LGW.

I think LGW experience time travel during the two day lockout because most of our avatars reverted back to the ones we used two years ago.

Datsyuk - Zetterberg - Abdelkader Larkin - Richards - Tatar Nyquist - Athanasiou - Jurco Sheahan - Glendening - Helm Quincey - DeKeyser Smith - Green Ouelette - Marchenko Mrazek

Wanted to post this up temporarily for onlookers to see that the forums are back and up running. Thanks Matt for the resolution and getting us functional. LGW!

He really did too.

This topic is right up my street, and outside of this community, I was the co-founder and current admin for a long running paranormal research and discussion forum that has now evolved into a weekly radio broadcast on a popular talk radio network. The guy I originally found the site with is the host and it's like a poor man's version of Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell, he interviews people weekly, from authors, to cryptid and UFO witnesses, and even Native American Shamans. I'm at work so I can't divulge too deep right now, but i'll post up some stories and experiences in the coming days, and the root of where my interest was founded.

I agree, because I feel like the intention of doing that to an opposing player was there, and it would have been a dirty shot IF he had caught the player off guard and he collapsed like the ref did. I honestly feel like though if it was a Pred he did that to and not the ref, that the player would have stayed on his skates and it would have just resulted in a minor penalty with no further escalation. Players in overall size and stature can take a lot more impact and I don't think it would have looked anywhere near as bad had it not been a ref. I am firm in the belief that he legitimately didn't know it was a linesman in front of him when he did what he did, and that aspect of it was accidental.

IF available, i'd like to take Feb 14th against the Bruins and the 20th against Ottawa.

I don't feel like Wideman is a classified "dirty player", nor did he really have any motive to want to just go take out a linesman. I feel like if he was skating off in a bit of a daze, and the opposing team was wearing their white jerseys, his reaction was thinking there was a Predators skater in front of him when he put his head up and threw his arms out before he even realized it was a ref and not a player. He had zero reason to just go viciously attack a linesmen, It wasn't like he was just in an argument with him or disputed a call he made. It was too random to be intentional, and i'd like to believe that his actions were intended to be directed at a Preds skater. In that video above at 50 seconds, it seems like someone on the bench tells Wideman he just hit a ref and it looks like he had a surprised response of "What?!" which also leads me to believe it was entirely unintended.

General Discussion is intended for the Red Wings and NHL discussion. This area of the forums specifies in the description "Discussion related to the Red Wings' minor pro hockey clubs: Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) and Toledo Walleye (ECHL)". I know you wanted this to remain in General Discussion, but there's structure for a reason for the purpose of keeping things organized. If we make one exception to the rule, all moved threads in the future would be followed by disgruntled debate from the thread creator because we "let that other one stay put" and it would cause a big headache for the mod staff here. Unfortunately this area of the forums isn't nearly as active, but it's where this thread and discussion belongs.
