Gritty is starting to make more sense now.

He made it look effortless, and it was a nice shot right inside the post. Still undefeated in preseason.

I think I feel a bit more comfortable in net now if Howard or Bernier goes out on injury, the fact alone that Sateri can hold a lead in the 3rd is something we haven't been able to say much in the last 3-4 seasons. He's been good.

3-0-0 to start is something, it is preseason, but it's a quality chance to see a lot of the kids all at once and what our potential future holds. Once the season starts, i'll start posting up some GDTs with graphics and whatnot, and as always, anyone else who wants to contribute is more than welcome. Let's make it 4, i'll be at work for this one but will be checking up on the score. LGW!

Going out a legend. I feel so thankful that I got to witness his career from start to finish, as he stayed loyal to the red and white through good times and bad. I hope his long-term quality of life is tolerable and i'll never forget the sacrifices he made for the good of the team, the fans, and the city of Detroit. Hank and Pavel in their prime was such a gift to us, and to the sport, and he will go down in NHL history among the all-time elite. Thanks for everything Z, this is always tough as a fan to see your captain go, and a new generation to start to take form. First it was Yzerman and Lidstrom, then Pavel and Hank, next, Larkin and Zadina? Time to drive forward with the youth and LGW! This season won't be the same without him.

All realistic, unrealistic, and dream scenarios aside, please, please, PLEASE be our next GM. Please.

Okay I won't click, thanks for the heads up guys.

Throws you over the glass I think for the long term quality of life, it's time for Z to hang them up. It disturbs me a little bit knowing what Franzen is going through, even to this day, because of his hockey injuries and sometimes it's not worth 50+ years of pain and suffering to play one more season. He has nothing else to prove and can go out a legend.

GDTs pre-game don't need to change, same with "X posts for a game whatever victory" in 2025 when we make playoffs again, fill it up all you want as long as the content is within site rules.

The next spamming of memes, off topic posting and photoshops will lead to suspensions going forward. We have spent too much time cleaning this up, and it's gotten way out of hand. We have been more laid back this offseason and it's getting taken advantage of, keep things on track, on topic, and stop doing this. Thank you.

There's a Water Cooler for a reason guys, let's keep things on track here and put the extra stuff where it belongs. Get back on topic and let's keep things a bit more respectable here. Thanks.

It is in our terms of service, and part of your agreement to post on this site. No politics. Period. No Trump jokes, no calling each other liberals, the only thing far right that should be discussed is the position of a winger. This is a strict policy that will be enforced after this warning. We want no part of it here, at all, anywhere. Stick to hockey and non-political discussion, this will be strictly enforced going forward. Keep it entirely off of these forums. Thank you.

Politics are 100% strictly forbidden from these forums. There is no exception. From this point forward, and any future threads, any mention of the president, any politics, liberals, republics, democrats, etc will result in a warning. Nothing made this place more toxic than before we had the ban on politics, and it has improved this place drastically. This is getting out of hand, respect the site and the rules and end political discussion here and now.

Report - Jimmy Howard will be the starting goalie next season, they would like him to start 50-55 games if healthy. He was easily the better of the two last season, I think he's earned his spot. It's make it or break it time for Mrazek, prove me wrong and be the goalie we need you to be Petr. They also stated that Las Vegas "Was not at all interested" in Mrazek which may reflect on his overall value. http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2017/07/23/red-wings-would-like-jimmy-howard-to-play-50-55-games

Would have rather seen 2.5, but maybe if he got what he wanted this time around and not hold out like he did last year, it will improve his attitude starting the year. I'm okay with it, at least he's young.

It's all fun and games until you realize harassment online to this extent is illegal, and your original account has a tag on the user map with all of your info submitted.

Clearly the discussion about the Mrazek trade is done so i'm locking this. Keep off topic posts and discussion in PM. Please try to keep things on track here guys, We appreciate it.

What business do they have winning? That's not helping out the future at all. Need to see a better effort next game.

Well, i'm already excited for next season.

That was honestly a real big slap in the face to Mrazek to pull him with 3 goals against playing his former team. I think that's a terrible call from the Philly coaching, and a good way to piss off your new goaltender that may need to play some playoff games for you. I'm not a fan of the guy, but they did him flat out wrong in this scenario. I'd be ashamed as a Flyers fan to disrespect him like that.

A dark part of me is enjoying breaking this 10 game losing streak against Mrazek.

Let's go draft pick lottery odds! Anyone watching? I might watch some while gaming, undecided. Late game on a weekday was never popular when this team was good, so I anticipate a one page GDT tonight.

Depends on how you look at it. I'm not trying to be negative or a smart ass by saying I want them to lose. Virtually the only thing the team is working towards is finishing lower in the rankings to improve their chances of a better pick. I'd rather see us get that #1, even though it's still a stretch.

One more period, you can lose guys, keep it up.

I mean, changing up avatars from the Dragonball Anime stuff might be a good step in the right direction. I'm just tossing that out there. I thought we settled on a monthly theme, but it's remained stagnant. I have my Fez avatar waiting for That 70's Show month.
