    1/22 GDT : Blackhawks 4 at Red Wings 5 (SO)

    Kane has cooled off drastically, hoping he keeps his scoreless streak alive. Monster needs to come up big, i'm putting faith in the big guy. 2-0 Wings, Helm and Smith.

    What Are You Playing?

    For the FPS genre being so huge there is a shortage of legitimately great ones. I think both Titanfall and Destiny will be console defining franchises, very excited for both and what the future may bring.

    Yeah they are still working out some minor issues, but it's huge, popular right now and they will continue to update and support the game for years to come. It's a solid choice.

    I highly recommend trying one of the Battlefield Bad Company games. The storyline is great and makes for a memorable campaign, the online is definitely tactics over run and gun, and there is a lot less glitchy cheaters on the Battlefield servers. If you are looking more for online only try Battlefield 3 or 4, they both require a lot of hard drive space for HD packets and dlc additions but it's worth it. Once I got into Battlefield I never looked back, it makes Call of Duty feel like an amateur level shooter. I also highly suggest getting a couple friends and getting yourself a 3-4 man squad online, the more you work together and use classes properly you can be a tremendous force. One medic to revive fallen teammates and drop first aid kits, an assault class to provide ammunition, a sniper to spot and pick off distant targets and an engineer capable of taking down vehicles threatening your position. It's a vicious combo if used properly and you work as a team. Most importantly, from a tactical standpoint, you can get one or two kills for an entire match and still top the list on the final scoreboard if you are using your class properly, you gain experience from secondary actions like healing/reviving teammates and squadmates, capturing objectives, defending objectives, etc. I think it would be right up your alley.

    Leaders need to be leaders

    Zett has 3 points in his last two games, and in an offensively slumping season he is still scoring slightly above a point per game. He is human, mistakes are going to happen, Z isn't the problem here. We can pick apart however many reasons we can to find an alternate reason as to why this team is in the shape it is in, but it continues to go back to the main reason. Injuries and commitment to aging roster players that no longer serve a valuable function. Blaming individual players at this point isn't fair because we are playing at half strength. It's a constant game of shuffle and adapt as players continue to come and go. It's been the story of this season and last. Some guys need to retire, some kids need to play more, and most guys need to stay healthy for more regular periods of time before things begin to improve. It is going to be a lot of up and down until then.

    1/20 GDT: Blues 4 @ Red Wings 1

    Blondie should rewrite her song to "Team of Glass" and it can play before the puck drops at home games.

    Could be better, could be worse. Nice goal by Nyquist to tie it up.

    1/20 GDT: Blues 4 @ Red Wings 1

    Backes is a monster, and I agree that he is among the league elite power forwards, if not the best. I'd flip from excitement if he ever landed here but I see him as being a career Blue. 42 GP 17G 18A +13 76 PIM 146 Hits He does it all, offensive thread, physical presence, and will drop the gloves with anyone.

    Updated with graphics, sorry for the delay guys. Wings pull off a shocker tonight and win 5-1. Sheahan (2), Zetterberg, Kronwall, Eaves Another huge game out of our boy Jimmy H. GO RED WINGS!! (Also for those looking for a signature banner, I posted some in the Creative Media section of the forums. Give them a look and feel free to use one as your signature if you like it.)

    The person below me game...

    Sam Adams is legitimately my favorite beer, there are so many varieties to not find one you love. The person below me has watched a science fiction film this past week.

    Blessing in disguise?

    I enjoyed this post, and there are a few important facts. Biggest one for me is getting a look at the younglings that we otherwise wouldn't have for potentially years had we not been suffering these injuries all year. Sheahan absolutely would not have played a single game this year, but now that he has, he's already beginning to look like a roster player that we otherwise wouldn't have a clue of how ready he is to play. Tatar in a bigger role is producing and it makes me feel a bit more comfortable in the future if we do have more injuries that some can step up and deliver. It's a situation of making the best out of the worst, every win is important, and what our kids are doing is vital to their future. Things could be so much worse right now, I keep trying to remind myself of that.

    What Do You Make of the Habs?

    Looking at them on paper, their top 6 isn't really all that great. You have two skilled forwards in Plekanec and Pacioretty followed by Gionta, Eller on the 2nd line with Pacioretty. Desharnias and Gallagher on the top line with Plekanec. Neither line appears too threatening to me. Top D pairing is Subban and Gorges with aging Markov on the 2nd pair. Price has put up great numbers, otherwise they don't quite have the roster to be in the position they sit now in my opinion, I can't see them sustaining long term. Montreal doesn't have the build as they sit to be a contending cup team.

    1/18 GDT: Kings 2 @ Red Wings 3 (Shootout)

    It makes me think of Arena Football if you allow the nets to become fair play, they begin to be part of the strategy. Instead of dump and chase players can flick it up on the netting and take advantage of the random bounces. Then there is also the delay of game penalty, you can't flip it over the glass in your own defensive zone but would this allow them to rip if off of the netting and have it bounce out of the zone or would that be a penalty as well? And then the delays determining if it hit the glass or the netting. I see it being nothing but problems if the netting was not considered out of play.

    Nucks vs Flames

    To me, and I could be wrong, it appeared that the opening faceoff kept getting delayed, something was off and both centers were chirping at each other about it. This is how I saw it, maybe something that was said between the two in the faceoff circle sparked it and it wasn't premeditated at all. Once they got into it then the others decided to jump in. This is also a Canada vs Canada team matchup, there always seems to be bad blood when two Canadian teams play. Calling it "staged" though I don't feel like is the situation, this isn't pro wrestling and staged is the same as saying scripted like the coaching staff met with each other before the game and said "Hey let's have a big fight right at puck drop". More info will come along by tomorrow about the incident i'm sure.

    Hudler is going to beat down an entire Canucks line to end the game.

    Here's a few random things i've been doing lately, a lot are banners for an NHL 14 GM Connected league that contains the team theme along with a franchise player (or special unusual request) and their gamertag. They also run a Madden league so that's why one is half hockey half football. A few are just some random gamer signatures I made for myself or others for gaming forums. Nothing really "Red Wings" related but figured i'd share anyway, enjoy.

    Ginger twins probably started pulling hair and slapping. Craziness, good to see some old time brawling hockey hit the ice every now and again.

    Nucks vs Flames

    Seriously, 176 PIM in the first 12 minutes of that Nucks/Flames game?? I know it's off topic but it's still a pretty significant event in tonights hockey games. It has to be some kind of record for fastest PIM total in a game.
