#2345544 Tomas Holmstrom Retires

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 23 January 2013 - 04:29 PM

Homer retired. Then O'Halloran waved it off.

Should've had the #96 at the edge of the creases last night.

#2345311 Jordin Tootoo: Usage? (6:57 TOI vs. Columbus)

I don't think the Wings have enough depth to be able to afford having a one dimensional player who can only play in limited situations. </p></blockquote>
You must not be watching the games. Tootoo is far from one dimensional.

#2341140 Eaves Cleared to Play

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 18 January 2013 - 05:34 AM

Good news. Someone has to go, now. There really isn't any getting around it. Hopefully we'll get a defenseman in return.

I'm gonna leave this list of defensemen here for Ken, because he definitely browses around the LGW forums:

Anton Volchenkov
John Erskine
Cory Sarich
Mike Komisarek
Douglas Murray
Zach Bogosian

#2340805 TooToo - the lovable little Tasmanian Devil

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 16 January 2013 - 11:25 PM

Tootoo only fought 5 times last season because Nashville had other guys around him, like Brian McGrattan. He'll be the main guy here in Detroit, so he'll definitely fight more than 5 times this year.

Agreed. One of those players you hate to play against, but you'd love on your team. He'll provide the 4th line with some snarl and physicality. He's not big, but he's a decent fighter, too.

He'll be a fan favorite soon enough.

#2340423 Wings Looking For Defenseman

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 15 January 2013 - 07:35 PM

I really like idea of bringing Dmitry Kulikov to Detroit. He's only 22 years old. I haven't watched enough of him to really say how defensively sound he is. Definitely has some offensive upside. 28 points in 58 games last year. On top of all that, his presence may make Datsyuk feel a little more at home, since Kulikov is Russian.

#2338704 Now What Can the NHL Do For You, the Fans

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 08 January 2013 - 11:19 PM

1. Free Center Ice
2. Remove the instigator rule

These are demands, not requests. Pretty simple. Neither of them will happen, so I'll just go ahead and say right now that the NHL won't get another penny from my pocket. No merchandise, no Center Ice, no tickets.

This is coming from someone who has bought Center Ice year after year and owns multiple jerseys, countless shirts, hats, and tons of other merchandise (Bobbleheads, banners, you name it).

Wow. Caps off a horrible day for me.

The end of a great era has come. Homer was an absolute warrior for us. Did whatever it took to win. Took the most abuse I've ever seen a hockey player take, and he always came back for more. An integral part of our team for the last ~15 years, Homer will be dearly missed. One of my favorite Detroit Red Wings ever.

Enjoy retirement, champ.

#2337922 NHL, NHLPA reach tentative agreement on new CBA

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 06 January 2013 - 01:57 PM

These crybabies have no clue how many people they have impacted whining about who gets the bigger piece of their multi-million dollar pie. How about the employees that didn't work during the lockout? Not one mention of them by the league or the players.

This lockout has displayed their true colors. The NHL is nothing but a corporation that will put anyone and everyone at risk to ensure that they make as large a profit as possible. The blatant disregard for the fans and the hourly employees is both offending and intolerable.

What a magical last-minute deal to ensure that they can continue to pocket their millions. They didn't do it for the fans, they did it because they were feeling increased pressure from their corporate sponsors to get a deal done.

"Thank You Fans!"
