    9/23 Exhibition GDT : Red Wings 1 at Blackhawks 2 (OT)

    I thought Smitty was ok that period. But Kindl? Not good at all.

    Babcock Interview on 105.1 this morning

    If anyone needs to change numbers it's Weiss! The number 90 is cursed on this team; it should be taken out of circulation.

    Red Wings Target Mike Green

    Caps are at the cap ceiling, have too many d men (Green being the odd man out), and he's on an expiring contract. He is a good player and a great fit, but the Wings should be the ones dictating the cost to get him here. A young, top six forward like Tats, Goose, or Jurco is absolute lunacy. Those names should not even be mentioned in negations. Our biggest problem is that it is common knowledge that we are in desperate need of a puck moving RH d man, and I think this is why we keep hearing that the Caps would want those players coming back. I think that Andersson, Frk, and a 3rd that turns into a 2nd if he re-signs should suffice for a player that: 1 Isn't likely to re-sign with the Caps if he was to stay the whole season, and 2 Could potentially just be a rental for the Wings.

    Kaylee G Future and the Red Wings

    Apparently the people running the Wings twitter page are just as bored waiting for the draft/free agency as we are...

    Red Wings announcement tomorrow

    something like franzen Gus and Tatar for oshie and a 4th. Can't remember. But was crazy sauce though.
  6. How difficult would it be to get each team's actual announcers on the game? Genuinely curious? Is that even possible? would love to have Ken and Mick on a game.

    Is this the worst "fight" of all time?

    As dumb as that was, no fight could ever be worse than this gem.

    Shh! You're not allowed to speak of "he who shall not be named".

    Christian Folin

    Is it bad that I assume that, if the player in question is Swedish, the Wings automatically have a chance to land him? I can't imagine Edmonton is a desirable place for young players anymore. I mean they were going with that whole "you can be part of our young core" angle for a couple years now, it seems, and it doesn't look like that train wreck of an organization is getting any better. (Although I do believe someday they'll get it together) Vancouver I could see though...

    3/20 GDT - Penguins 4 at Red Wings 5 (OT)

    And a collective "Holy s***!" was heard throughout the streets of Detroit. Good win, boys. Keep 'em coming.

    Legwand to Detroit for Eaves, Jarnkrok + cond 3rd/2nd

    I wonder what number he's going to wear for us. Assuming he re-signs, does he get the 11 from Alfie after he leaves? I'm still pretty excited that we got Legwand, we were in desperate need of a center after Helm went down again. As others have said, if Jarnkrok actually bolts for Sweden then we definitely got the better end of this deal.

    Legwand to Detroit for Eaves, Jarnkrok + cond 3rd/2nd

    True. But if he does stay and he does become the player he was projected to be, then I'd still say this will be a trade we look back on and wonder wtf Holland was thinking. When I write it out like that, I guess those are some big "if"s, so I suppose you're right. Hey, quit bullying me already, I'm overreacting to a trade I don't like over here!

    Legwand to Detroit for Eaves, Jarnkrok + cond 3rd/2nd

    This is what I'm thinking. There's no way Kenny would've made that trade unless there was something more to it.

    On a positive note, "Welcome home, David!"

    Legwand to Detroit for Eaves, Jarnkrok + cond 3rd/2nd

    Even if Jarnkrok IS leaving for Sweden next year this is still a HUGE overpayment. Way too much of a risk. Eaves a third and Ferraro would have been more than fair. If he decides he likes it in Nashville this trade is very likely going to haunt us for years.

    Legwand to Detroit for Eaves, Jarnkrok + cond 3rd/2nd

    And now the phase begins where Wings fans lie to themselves and play down Jarnkroks skill and potential to disguise this horrible trade as "bearable". I am still in shock.

    Legwand to Detroit for Eaves, Jarnkrok + cond 3rd/2nd

    Poile did ******* cartwheels after getting off the phone. I genuinely don't know how I can stand behind Holland after this. Just....terrible.

    This feels like when you're waiting for your friend to give you that pay-back punch he owes you.
