where is the bandwagon now? haha

[Yzermania 156]

see what happens is that we build teams confidence up so when we crush it down it hurts that much more.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Yes, now you appear to understand what certain words mean. Congrats.

You want to move Lebda for $650,000 in cap space? Pro-rated? I don't know what Volchenkov makes, so maybe. But Lebda is better than Ericsson right now. I doubt we can move Fil with his contract, and I'm not sure I want to anyway though I concede he is not performing well in his role/contract. I have no wish for more Dan Clearys, though. One #11 is just fine, thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean about the definition of change. You said it was NOT a change, but now you're agreeing with me that it IS a change to move a player and have someone replace him (i.e. a difference, change, move, etc.). Congrats on agreeing with me?

As for moving Lebda, yes, but I'm guessing you don't understand how it works to bring up guys who are on 2-way contracts. Moving Lebda would be enough cap space for us to bring up Helm full time, or bring up Ericsson, Leino, and Helm variably for a game or two, for several games, or for any combination of games to give us some jump throughout the rest of the season. No, you can't bring up Ericsson or Leino full-time, but you have plenty of space for roster movement, which is something that the Wings desperately need and is also the reason why the calls to bring up Leino, Ericsson, and Downey have not been heard.

As for Volchenkov, he makes 2.5M for the next 5 years, would be the best PKer on our team, is a better hitter than Kronwall AND Stuart, and is still a year younger than Kronwall. And yes, Ericsson is better than Lebda right now in all areas, and could replace Kronwall's absence on the PP point. The reason hes not on this team is because he makes too much. As for Filppula, the best time to move him would be now, when his age is still something to take into consideration for teams looking at that fat contract.

Why is everyone so surprised?

If the Avs can score 3 goals in one period, why can't we?

[Guest Shoreline]

Wings could have been called for an extremely obvious interference there. Consistency? I think not.

3-3 after 2..

[YoungGuns1340 1]

where is the bandwagon now? haha

On Homer's back, with the rest of the Red Wings team.

[55fan 5,133]

OK, who scored that? They keep flashing back and forth: Goal, Holmstrom. Goal, Franzen. I'm getting dizzy.

But, whatever. GOAL!

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

It almost pisses me off that we play like this, turn it on for 5 minutes, and comeback from a 3 goal deficit. At least it would if it didn't make me so happy.
