#2365815 Should Visors Be Mandatory In The NHL

#2365812 Do We Really Need a New Stadium?

Posted by blgillett on 06 March 2013 - 05:45 PM

If for nothing else for more Bathrooms it bad not to mention the dangerous steps. Don't get me wrong I will miss the Joe when its gone lots of memories there but its time to join the rest of the league with a modern house. I have also been seeing a change in ice surface last 5 years we used to have a great sheet of ice now the puck is bouncing all over the place. We need new lines under the floor not that that can't be done there but is it worth doing there.

#2316793 The Next Move

Posted by blgillett on 07 July 2012 - 03:18 PM

Holland needs to go.  Hes not doing his job.

And get who for a GM some one who isn't half as good as Kenny he is the best in the business bar none

Bertuzzi, samuelsson, and holmstrom.  Stop fooling yourself.  Our gm is a dumbass.

How quickly we forget Ken Holland made us the most successful organization in the last 20 years


#2315229 The Next Move

Posted by blgillett on 04 July 2012 - 08:16 PM

Fire Ken Holland.  He is worthless.  He's wasting time signing guys that dont help us (sammuelson, bertuzzi, tootoo, gustavson) and not signing anyone that does help us.  This is the definition of a bad gm.  All thats left for him to do now is give Holmstrom another 2 years.  This offseason had to be big for Detroit.  Shultz, Parise, and Suterwould have vaulted Detroit to the top again.  Instead - total strikeout AND overpay/extend for complete CRAP.  Holland - you suck.

it to bad that people are that Ignorant and don't realize just how good Ken Holland is he is by far the best GM in the business


#2266732 Cleary, Bertuzzi, Hudler and Franzen

Posted by blgillett on 04 March 2012 - 10:49 PM

I believe everyone of these guys are hurt I have no proof with Franzen but just the way he has been playing for most of the year I would put money on it that he has ome type of injury.                    

So what about Cleary, Huds, Bertuzzi, Franzen?

I am a fan of Bertuzzi, and have really admired Cleary's hard work in the past, and acknowledge Mule showing up in the playoffs, but lately it has just been very painful to watch these players give lackluster effort every night. I understand taking nights off during an 82 game season, but it seems as if these guys don't give their full effort a large percentage of the time. I especially hate having to see these players on our top lines (ok minus mule for now, and cleary when datsyuk returns). Does anybody feel like I do, when I think that these guys have just been lucky enough to slide by, benefiting from the hard working talent that surrounds them? I know franzen leads us in goals, cleary has but up good goal totals in the past, and hudler is getting good stats this year but it just seems that they benefit from the hard work of others while they coast into the zone looking for a rebound or a perfect pass. I can't remember when I last saw one of these guys take the puck in the zone work hard on the D and cycle down low like dats, fill, helm, and Z. I think Cleary, Bert, Huds, and Franzen zap our teams energy and replacing the four of them with just two harder working players with offensive upside would greatly benefit this team. Although I do think Bert has potential as a third or fourth liner if he increases his grit, but the rest are just to hard to watch on a nightly basis. Also Homer on the fourth line is not working out that great either. Whatever though, all these guys have the potential to play, and if they show up like they are capable of then we got a shot any day. So here is to hoping they decide to show up in the playoffs this year!

It a good day to die or get canned in this case


#2263080 Ericsson out One Month

Posted by blgillett on 26 February 2012 - 04:59 PM

With Ericsson out that'll cut down on defensive zone turnovers.

You got that right!


#2263045 Ericsson out One Month

Posted by blgillett on 26 February 2012 - 03:20 PM

Commodore.

Yup I thought he should have been playing instead of Ericsson in the first place. He has improved a lot threw out the year the more he plays the better he has gotten the system not to mention he adds the toughness that every body has been begging for.

There goes our chance at a Stanley Cup.

I think it helps our chances to win. I have a hard time watching Error-son making mistake after mistake
