10/4 Final Preseason GDT: Detroit Red Wings vs Boston Bruins

One thing is for sure. Oulette is so much better than kindl it isn't even funny. So much more composed, a better skater, smarter. I will be extremely disappointed in babs if he opts to play kindl over oulette. On a final note, good for goose to score in the shootout... Maybe confidence booster to get him going a bit more.

A win is a win. Not winning these types of games is one of the things that arsed us last season, so I'll take it.

Considering that 2 of the first 3 games are against Boston as well, winning this one should be good for the team's confidence.

Hey all, for those of you lucky enough to watch the preseason games, how has Weiss looked?

He's skating a lot better than last year, and getting more involved in the play, but I would still like to see more out of him. He hasn't been a difference-maker yet, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt (at least for now) considering he essentially hasn't played in a year.

Most importantly, WHY is Cleary wearing #17?

11 ----> still reserved for Alfie's possible return.

71 ----> his adopted number last year...

p.s. Danny, you might need to get your webguy to update your website, "Bear".

Maybe he's trying to remind us of Patty Sunshine Eaves's smile or something.

I tend to play Devils advocate with Quincey. He really is most of the time our 3rd/2nd best defensemen. I feel Ericsson has been a tad overrated here and would not look great with another partner

I never understand this argument. Player X only looks good becuz he's playing with Player Y. Well, what's the problem then? Ericsson will play with Kronwall during the season. It's like being upset that your tennis shoe doesn't feel comfortable when worn with a dress shoe on the other foot. If you're only going to wear it with the other tennis shoe, does it really matter???

And what if Kronwall is injured? A player that can make his partner look good is certainly preferable to someone that depends on his partner.

If Kronwall gets injured, and Ericsson s***s the bed, then you deal with the problem then. Until then, Cleary, Quincey, and Kindl take up enough bandwidth on this forum. I think we can save the whining regarding the "what if Kronwall gets injured and Ericsson sucks without him" dilemma for when we cross that bridge.

what do you mean hasn't played in a year? Such a cop out...
