#2384819 GDT 4/15: Red Wings 3 @ Predators 0

Posted by WorkingOvertime on 14 April 2013 - 08:28 PM


I think it's time for Dats and Brunner to make a volunteer energy commercial.  We'll have no idea what they're selling, but I'll want some.


They should volunteer for that.

Can't wait for Bertuzzi?
 
Are you Kenny Holland?  Dude is like 40 years old.  He should retire in the offseason..............Last season, that is.  

He fills a (desperate) need.

I like Abby on there.  I was saying that cause Franzen was on there with them at the end of the period.  I should have clarified that in my earlier post.


I understand. I hope Bert is able to come back (at full effectiveness) soon. The Wings have sorely missed him in the top six. Abby has done surprisingly well the last month, but IMO the Wings need someone like Bert (or Abby) on each of the top 3 lines. I wish Andersson was more physical, because he would be great with Brunner and Nyquist if he had that drive in the corners, in front of the net, etc.

Put Nyquist on the Dats-Z line.  At least he hustles and does creative things with the puck.


Who's going to tie up guys in the corners, go to the front of the net, etc on that line? The Wings need to get tougher in front of the net and in the corners. Making pretty plays on the perimeter doesn't do much to score on a goalie like Rinne.

OT- Abby made it to 100 hits for the season last game. Miller is second on the team with just under 80.

Ugh. Chicago announcers on NHL network.


#2383322 4/11 GDT : Sharks 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

Can Andersson spend half his summer on learning to hit well and often? He has plenty of skill to be a 3rd/4th line center but IMO he needs to pick up his physical play.


#2383079 4/11 GDT : Sharks 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

No Tootoo is annoying, but I kinda like moving Filppula to third line center. It's hard to believe Abdelkader and Miller are in the top-six fighting for a playoff spot. Then again, maybe that's why there is a fight.

Basically a playoff game tonight. Tomorrow in Chicago is going to be tough on back-to-back, so beating the Sharks is imperative. Desperation from everyone on the ice in red and white.

Right now, they are in the top-6 so the Wings can have three scoring lines. I'm hoping Tatar and Nyquist will be up next year to make it easier for the Wings to have three scoring lines.

Please tell me they won't be announcing every change on the fly today.

#2380227 Going forward with what we have

Posted by WorkingOvertime on 04 April 2013 - 01:40 PM

Mrazek's development is better served with him spending another year in GR and playing 45+ games. As a backup to Howard he won't get enough games to develop. I do see him being the back-up when Gus's contract is up.




#2379735 Nyquist, Tatar, dekeyser

Posted by WorkingOvertime on 03 April 2013 - 03:50 PM

All of these moves make me feel like Holland has given up on making playoffs. I hope I'm just overreacting.

The Wings are sitting in a playoff position, so I'm not sure how/why they would be giving up.

heck no

I don't think so either.




#2378650 Ericsson for Courturier?

Posted by WorkingOvertime on 02 April 2013 - 12:23 PM

Just an out of the box thought. philly is willing to move SC according to all the rumor sites. looking for a proven scorer or a top pair Dmen.

if this is true-who really knows, this move might make some sense. We move a 28/29 year old Dman making 3.25 million with 1 year left on his contract. we pick up a 20 year old 6-3/200 pound C that everyone says will be a point per game guy in a couple of years. SC would become the insurence if/when Datsyuk leaves.

yes i understand that this move may hurt us this season. but for the next 10-12 it would make us better and give us the future building block we need.

Crazy i know......

And which of Nyquist, Tatar, Sproul, 1st round pick, etc. will the Wings be adding to the trade (and likely more)?  It would take more than E to get the trade done.




#2378638 Stars trade Jaromir Jagr to Bruins

Posted by WorkingOvertime on 02 April 2013 - 12:18 PM

It's not so much the fact that he didn't get him. It's the fact that there's a really big chance holland will make 0 moves. All year other teams have no problem doing it. We have a deep prospect pool

How many of the trades made would you want the Wings to make? I like Regehr, but I don't see how he would fit with the current D. Other than that trade, I don't think any of the trades made would have been the difference for the Wings this year, next year, etc. If Clowe and/or Gabby are traded for reasonable prices, it will be different IMO.

 

Making a move for the sake of making a move isn't what the Wings need. A move should only be made if it improves the team this year and in the coming years.




#2377737 with trade deadline approaching - who's our tradeable assets?

Posted by WorkingOvertime on 01 April 2013 - 02:22 PM

A chance at the cup is worth more to me. I'd rather not waste yet another year of datsyuks prime. If we sell we might as well go all out.

I agree. With Z injured, trading Flip would deplete the Wings center depth for the last few weeks of the season as well.
