MabusIncarnate

When does baseball season start again?

Let's go Russo!

But did Sheahan score?

I just opted out of paying for my next month of Center Ice. After tomorrow, which I anticipate a couple more guys go, I don't see paying out for the rest of the season. I'll just watch a few cheap streams and bad NBCSN broadcasts for my fix for the remainder.

It was smart on behalf of the Kings, Budaj had literally zero value at the start of the season. We are likely doing the same with Vanek, going from being bought out and one wanting to sign him to being able to get us some kind of a return. I see the Kings moving Quick before the deadline for a scoring forward, I don't see them wanting both in the long term. I'd take Quick for any of our 3 goalies and a Tatar or Nyquist.

We are respectfully allowing the discussion to continue, but let's try to tone it down a little bit here and get the teeth off of each other's throats and dial it down a bit more to civil territory. I get it, I really do, frustrating season, questionable team decisions all around, but let's not get too vicious here. Things on the forum have been better than expected this season all things considered, and we would like to keep it that way. Thanks guys/gals.

Thanks Nerve for picking up on the GDT in my absence, I haven't been home since last night and neglected my duties. Looks like it's been a decently tight game so far.

Ohh no kidding, yeah that definitely shouldn't be happening. I stream through the Xbox App on my console and haven't had that kind of issue at all this season. I didn't sign up through my cable provider because they don't even offer it here.

@puckloo39 When it's a national broadcast and the game airs on either NBCSN, NHL Network, NBC, it will be blacked out. Also If it is broadcast locally for you, for example, any Red Wings vs Predators games are blacked out for me because they air on my local network. It works this way with all sports packages, NBA, MLB, and NFL. It's part of the contract of these packages to prevent ratings from being taken from the networks, if they didn't do it that way, packages like Center Ice wouldn't be permitted to exist because it would violate the rebroadcast agreement. It's not just hockey and it's not just Center Ice, it's all packages for all sports.

Hypothetically? Absolutely. Considering the upcoming draft is definitely a weak class, and a 5th overall will have much less value than previous years, this scenario for this particular up coming offseason and draft wouldn't happen. For it to be this year, it would take a first, one roster player like Tatar or Nyquist, and a prospect or two. It's not a mystery to the league that our defense is in desperate need of help and is among the worst in the league, which raises the price a bit also.

I anticipate at least 10 games, at least that's what I feel like is the minimum justified punishment. It really was out of line, and looked very bad when it happened. I agree that he looked a bit stunned when it happened, like he was just trying to get an elbow up in his face but the stick got there instead, but the player needs to be responsible for where the stick lands and be held accountable when something like this happens. Maybe the visor blocks it, but two inches higher and that's a stick to the eye and can result in permanent damage and vision loss.

This may be a career changing game from Coreau. This isn't just a bad game, it's a train wreck.

Our goalies are fine, it's always 100% the fault of the defense.

What a strange game, whens the last time we snapped back twice like that immediately after a goal? Oh and also, for Coreau.

Good to see Vanek back on the bench

RIP Mr. Illitch, this is sad news. What a legacy he leaves behind, and a legend in what he did for Detroit and the fan base. Another fallen Hockeytown hero.

LW C RW Gustav Nyquist Henrik Zetterberg Anthony Mantha Tomas Tatar Riley Sheahan Dylan Larkin Andreas Athanasiou Darren Helm Thomas Vanek Tomas Jurco Luke Glendening Justin Abdelkader Defensive Pairings Dan DeKeyser Mike Green Jonathan Ericsson Nick Jensen Brendan Smith Ryan Sproul Petr Mrazek Looks like Sproul in tonight, XO out. Mrazek gets the nod. I'll put up a real GDT for my next one, work has been kicking my butt and i've not had much time to get one complete. Odds are against us, we are in position to be offensively squashed by the high flying Caps. Prove me wrong boys, LGW!

Mrazek is about as good of a 1st period goalie as Howard is a 3rd period goalie. Most of the damage always seems to come early on him.

This is gonna be a 8-6 game when it's all said and done.. holy offense batman.

AA someone bench this kid he's no good. Give Sheahan his minutes. @poel I was torn between him and Markstrom, and i'm sitting on Markstrom instead. No one else has claimed Mrazek in nearly a month. I think Markstrom has more upside and Miller is close to being done.

AA!

Mrazek is on waivers in my league, and it's a 10 team keeper with 3 goalie limit. I want to see Sproul live up to his potential but he's running out of chances, tonight is going to be a big test for the kid. I like seeing Jensen on the 2nd pairing now, he's been our best D besides Green.

Yeah, I mean they absolutely knew the day he would become injured and didn't pull the trigger. Someone should fire our team psychic, he's just not getting the job done.
