That's just crazy that Weiss is scratched. I have not paid much attention to the preseason, so I cannot really comment on the decision. I am a bit surprised because I can't remember Babcock benching a big contract guy so explicitly. Obviously we've seen some peculiar treatment (with respect to lineup decisions) with other guys (e.g. Tootoo). Was Weiss really so pitiful in the exhibitions or something? My God. This might go down as one of Holland's worst signings.

Weiss was certainly no worse than most regulars during the preseason games that I saw and I got the same impression from others from the games I didnt see.

[themcityblues 249]

I thought Weiss was slightly worse than pretty much any forward out on the ice. Ouch.

Samuelsson scored the first Red Wings goal of the 2013-14 season, any predictions on who will score the first of this season? I'm going to say Tatar, sexy feed from Jurco.

If we make that a streak it will be Cleary from a feed of Kindl (or vice versa).

[vladdy16 2,154]

I will be representin' tonight. May the hockey gods favor the Wings tonight in the name of YFMB.

Was she friends with Betsy Ross?

Friends? More like besties.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

over 7 mill in the press box.... beaut.

pretty excited to see jurco in the lineup though!

it's too bad mantha got hurt or he'd probably be in there instead of Nestrasil....

but here's to hoping Nestrasil has a killer debut and cleary gets waived instead!

LGW! Thank God hockey is back!

Maybe that's why Kindl is in the lineup over Lashoff. there was already too much salary in the press box.

Seriously though, let the season begin!!!

[wingsgirl001 983]

Wooooo, opening day!! I'm ready, LGRW!!

[kipwinger 8,518]

As much as the forward lines make me want to puke, I will say that there's potential for the Nyquist-Helm-Nestrasil line to do a little damage. It's the same basic dynamic as the Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco line except that Nyquist is a little better offensively than Tatar and Jurco is a little better than Nestrasil.

go wings

Right. The only line I don't like is the top line.

[kipwinger 8,518]

Right. The only line I don't like is the top line.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. I obviously don't like the top line. I would prefer the current second line actually be the third line. And I'd prefer Joakim Andersson go the f*** away. But other than that I suppose it's as good as it's going to be until Datsyuk gets back and Weiss figures out the secret handshake or whatever Babs needs in order to accept his bona fides.

Evidently today is my sister-in-laws birthday. My brother told me they are going out for dinner, so I told them to have fun.

That is goose's pre game ritual

[LeftWinger 4,949]

Let's go Wings!

I hate that Cleary is even on the Wings, but at least he is a scratch.

Going back to the 1998 video, awesome, thanks! I was at March 26th, 97. I miss having a defender like Bob Rouse on this team also having a gritty forward like Lapointe. Imagine If you could, if Probie was part of that rivalry and how many heads would have gotten bashed on that Avs team...

I thought this was...

It's also Z's birthday today ... and my son's. Coincidence?

[LeftWinger 4,949]

WTF happened in the Weiss house? He was supposed to be our savior as the 2nd line center...Too bad he has the NMC/NTC, maybe he can be convinced to waive it. We could probably get a pick for him. Package Weiss/Kindl/Andersson for something....

Anyhow, Let's start out in a winning fashion! I hope Jimmy steps up this season. I still don't like him, but he is our guy for now. Besides, its not like Monster is any good either...

Are you suggesting that you wife's bio-rhythms are attuned to the important dates in Henrik Zetterberg's life?

Awesome.

I didn't get to see any pre-season games but the general consensus seems to be that only two or three guys really impressed all pre-season, and none of the regulars did. Weiss has made considerable improvement on skating, but like the other regular NHLers was really a non-factor. He didn't play bad, just didn't impress. Which is why his being scratched is so baffling to most of us.

That goose feet move like Nyquist feet.
