#2365919 Should Visors Be Mandatory In The NHL

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 07 March 2013 - 12:50 AM

It should be the players choice, really. I don't mind it being mandatory in the minor leagues, but grown men should be able to make that choice for themselves.




#2364655 Tootoo Hit last Night

2 minutes for playing the way the game was meant to be played.


#2364653 if we can find a couple of power forwards.....

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 04 March 2013 - 04:14 AM

He will drop the gloves with anyone.

You've got to be kidding. He's one of biggest spotpickers in the league. He's fought guys like Datsyuk, Rafalski, Jay McLement, Brent Burns, Derek Morris, and Gilbert Brule. Fought Stephane Robidas earlier in the season. Robidas has like 10 career fights and he's played over 800 games.

Scoring goals and occasionally smacking a finesse guy with your purse doesn't make you a power forward. Perry is a fraud. He's gifted with the puck, no doubt, but no way in hell is he a power forward.

I'm not just a fan of the Wings. So this isn't just blind hate for Perry. I watch all teams. Power forwards are guys like David Clarkson, Ryane Clowe, and Wayne Simmonds.


#2364420 3/3 GDT : Blackhawks 2 at Red Wings 1 (SO)

Another blown lead. Cleary looked awful today. Made several plays that had me scratching my head. Franzen played like garbage. Turned the puck over numerous times. I was happy to see Edzo and Pierre pointing out Franzen's general lack of effort. Howard was the only reason the game was tied after the first.

Tatar needs to stay up. Brunner had another good game.

Bummer of a loss.

Howard has been the best player out there for us so far.


#2359562 Tootoo

I like what Dorsett brings to the table, but calling for a suspension here is ridiculous. Looking forward to Tootoo/Dorsett next game we play Columbus.


#2358667 Howard to start tonight + projected line up

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 21 February 2013 - 04:54 PM

I feel bad for Datsyuk.

At least Babcock has the sense to play Huskins.


#2358465 Mikael Samuelsson

"We like our team"

Nice coverage in front, Kronwall.


#2354001 2/10 GDT : Kings 2 at Red Wings 3

Anybody else notice how Flip clipped Quick's skate right before the shot?  I think it subtly effected him closing the file hole in time.


Edzo, is that you?


#2349031 TooToo - the lovable little Tasmanian Devil

Another good game tonight.


#2345674 Schenn suspended 1 game for a clean hit

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 23 January 2013 - 11:14 PM

Give me a break. He didn't charge from the other end of the ice, and its not like he smashed his face into the boards from behind. The fact that this hit is even being discussed as possibly suspension-worthy is ridiculous.


#2345643 Ian White Out 2-3 Weeks

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 23 January 2013 - 10:07 PM

Bert = 1.75 mil
Sammy = 3 mil
Colo = 2.15 mil
Quincey = 3.55 mil
Gustavsson = 1.4 mil
Tootoo = 1.9 mil
Huskins = .75 mil

Thats 15 mil of s***.  We need NONE of these players.  What we needed was Parise and Suter.  But Holland is too stupid to see that we'd be better off going with an 18 man roster of GOOD players than a 23 man roster of crappy washed up has been other teams' rejects.  I cant believe people cant see Holland's incompetence yet.  Its no wonder star ufa's are avoiding Detroit like the plague.  Holland is too concerned about Holmstrom and Bertuzzi's golden parachutes.

I happen to agree with you regarding Samuelsson and Bertuzzi's contracts. There was definitely no reason to give Samuelsson a NTC. In my opinion, it was idiotic to give Bertuzzi that second year. Quincey has been a big failure this far. Overpayment.

However, PARISE AND SUTER WENT TO MINNESOTA FOR FAMILY. THEY WEREN'T COMING HERE ANYWAY. Neither of them are worth the idiotic contracts that Minnesota gave them. Yikes. Holland has made stupid moves, but overpaying for either of these overrated  pansies would've been majorly stupid moves.

Also, players like Tootoo are desperately needed here. He's basically our only source of snarl and constant physicality up front. In my opinion, more players that play a similar style to his are needed.

I already explained the Huskins situation to you, but you never directly replied.

Huskins picking his butt for 750k.

What should've Ken done in that situation? I am a big critic of Ken, but every single move he makes doesn't warrant whining. Huskins played well last night. Hell, better than that dolt Quincey, who we're paying $3 million/year.

My point is, I don't see why the Huskins deal is anything to cry about. It's not like Ken was gonna get Dan Girardi here for $750,000.
