Exactly! Unless the guy stole somebody's milk money or something that I haven't heard of...

nice link

Semin for 6M?

Nobody can really hold a candle to Lids or Brodeur. Out of that list, they are the only ones to actually play in the majority of the decade but also will go down in history as one of (if not the) best in their position all time (I'd maybe include Sakic on that list also, but the forward role is pretty stacked in history). Now its just a matter of figuring out whether Lids was more monumental at defense or Brodeur was at goalie.

updated, and I would like to point out that right now Jimmy Howard is officially in the top 10 league wide for both GAA and save percentage, and sitting 4th best for both categories in the Western Conference. Not bad for a kid with less than 40 games NHL experience.

I'm surprised the fight continued after May landed that beauty.

I'm more willing to blame that goal on Stuart's untimely pinching than Lebda's failing to stop Modin.

Actually I think that's one player

Yeah, I'm calling Stuart out on that one.

This is an outrage! How will they know that the opposing goalie's pads and the boards around the nets are of sufficient quality??

Damn got my ass.

thanks, keep me updated

How has Tatar looked?

I like this, actually

Notice they took off the helmets.

The next 30 days it will be wonderful to be a Wings fan.

I think larger ice surfaces is a good idea for a number of reasons. Jimmy D is definitely on to something in that more room should correlate with less injuries, but it should also provide more offense. Lately, I've been noticing that the top defensive strategy seems to include having all five defensman between the faceoff circles and the crease blocking shots. If no shots get through to the goalie, then no goals will be scored. If there is a larger surface of ice, there is more room to get open or to find a clearing to the net when sustaining offense. It should theoretically allow for more opportunities to establish the offensive zone as well, because center ice will be more available. It would be difficult to make this kind of change, though, because at the very least it would require a bit of remodeling from each arena in the NHL.

updated again.

From what I have gathered he is asking for a boatload. The real question is would you prefer Kovalchuk or depth?

Raffi out. Sorry Hockeytown0001 but the injury book goes on.... you really should keep an eye out for carpaltunnel.

Whats the Wings injury count to? This is the type of situations where someone would sarcastically throw out an exaggerated number like 9, but nobody would realize they were being sarcastic because there are actually 9 starters out of the freaking lineup.

Oddly enough I feel relieved to hear this news. I'm hoping Jimmy is ready for the real test, and that the boys are playing for pride tonight. Good GDT as always

Is it confirmed that Howard will be playing or is that an assumption?

Ah the 5 on 3. All other arguments are invalid now.

Oh definitely Perry. Ericsson will stand over his shoulder with his arms crossed and nod in approval.
