krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted January 25, 2018 HYPE! I'll be at this one again. Hopefully I bring better luck tonight. It's kind of strange this trip though. Usually I'm devestated if the Wings lose when I make the trip down. This time, I just want to see close games. We got that Tuesday night with the OT loss. Hopefully we get another close game tonight. I would love to see us beat the rivalled Hawks though... Wings win 4-3 in a shootout. Mantha and Athanasiou get a goal and assist each, Turgeon gets his first NHL goal, and Larkin gets 2 assists, and the shootout winner... GO WINGS!!! 2 1 Hockeymom1960, Dabura and NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted January 25, 2018 I dont see any interest in Oulette, unless Holland is willing to go CHEAP. I’d like to see him try to shop Errorsson, just to see if any offers come in. Good to see Turgeon back. It’s time to give these kids time in the NHL. Let them learn and make mistakes. There’s nothing to lose. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'm not sure he'd even get claimed off waivers. Maybe the Leafs are a fit? Babcock seemed to like him and it's known that the Leafs would like to add a "defensive defenseman" or two.

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted January 25, 2018 So how are we feeling about the Blackhawks possibly missing the playoffs? On the one hand, I'm all about it. Because f*** the Blackhawks. On the other hand, I don't want them in the lottery pool.

I just love the fact that this team has generally been unsuccessful the minute they signed Toews to an overpaid long term contract.

Over at HF Boards the Hawk fans are now starting to realize how bad it is to have Taze signed on long-term. Yeah I noticed a lot of them are calling Toews overrated. They have been for about a year-ish now. Seems more of the more objective posters that don't fan-boy too hard and see things for what they are.

But every common man saw Rocky as the winner. Was over 5 years I saw it last but still remember the post-bell Creed mumblings "there won't be no rematch", <repeat>. However I wasn't reflecting on the outcome, but I certainly can't fault you to bring it up, nice touch. Just the general feel I get when watching a former solid player about to go down. Something tells me you can see it aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turgeon wouldn't fetch much of a return right now, and what purpose would it serve to trade a 21 year old, whose putting up solid numbers in the A, for a mid round draft pick? We traded up to get him in the draft, and he's been progressing well. I've been impressed with him, and I hope we keep him, even if it is (likely) to be our 3rd / 4th line center. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People always say Datsyuk is a magician. Truth is, he literally is because just like any magician he uses the same magic tricks to Wow people. (We all think he has crazy tricks but it’s the same routine). 1. Cutback move. 2. Chip backhand pass 3. Sneak in, lean in sticklift. Toews sucks. His only magic trick is Patrick Kane. He does average things other players do all the time. Edited January 25, 2018 by kickazz 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
