Only players looking okay right now are the ones that played overseas and Howard. Quincey needs to get off Smith's line. Put him with someone who can cover his mistakes.

Nyquist and Smith are still pretty unknown as to how they can handle a full NHL season so I don't have any problem with their ratings but I would have thought Zetterberg would still be a 90.

Anyone brings a whistle to the Joe and I will find you and maim you.

Yeah, loading up on forwards is indicating to me that we are not in the front running for Parise. I don't know how I feel about this signing.

Suter - Detroit
Parise - Pittsburgh
Hudler - Los Angeles
Semin - Detroit
Jagr - Flyers
Schultz - Edmonton
Garrison - Detroit

There's been no speculation around an extension or anything so this leads me to believe it's to announce his retirement. Going to be a sad day tomorrow.

He's not to blame because or offense threw 41 at Rinne?  


Or he's not to blame because he faced 19 shots and let  3 in?

The goalie isn't the one to blame when the defense gives up breakaways and odd man rushes for no reason. Stuart was completely outplayed on the second goal, 3 of our players were in our crease facing the net on the first goal and Howard couldn't get over and the third goal was Kronwall/Filppula's fault. Howard was left out to dry, plain and simple. Could he make those saves? Yeah, but it's not entirely his fault that he didn't. He's been far from horrible.

These announcers are brutal tonight. Constantly dogging Brunnstrom and then one of them says Helm is going to make the team.

No s*** Helm is going to make the team.

Personally, I think its gimmicky and stupid.

Plus, I'm sure a lot of the main people pushing so hard for him to wear it are the people from Commodore themselves to help promote their new Commodore 64 computer, and nerds who don't give a s*** about hockey or the Wings and just think it cool that there might be a player in some sport with a "Commodore 64" jersey.

I hope this is a joke.

Holland says Ericsson will be a top four defenseman and that was our addition this season.

Jesus this video that keeps playing on every thread is annoying the hell out of me.

Franzen goes face first into the boards, gets stitches and comes back.

Jovo gets checked into the boards and leaves...for no reason.

Phoenix is losing their composure. This is how we dismantle teams in the playoffs.

We're asking for I.O.U.'s? I think we're asking for a fairly reffed game.
