If they are going to ban hitting, they should at least make it mandatory to teach these kids how to deliver a check and how to take and avoid one so that they aren't disadvantaged when they progress.

So the tough grinder gets the garbage goal through sheer effort.

If only the Wings had someone like that to get those goals...

 

Tootoo's penalty basically lost Game 1 for us.

No.

To the OP, I think both Eaves and Tootoo play valuable roles within the team. If Bert isn't 100% and can't produce, the argument for having him in over either of them is silly.

Babcock, as much as I think he is one of the best coaches in the league, has let himself down a little this season with his odd line combinations. Keep it simple, keep it sensible. If it works, roll with it. Eaves-Emmerton-Tootoo worked, very well. No reason to change anything, especially not knee-jerk reactions after a bad game and especially not knee-jerk reactions to the only line which has worked consistently all season long.

My 2 cents. What do I know.

I thought we'd seen the last of pointless font changes...also line threads.

There will never be an end to people saying silly things though. Jimmy Howard is an all star goalie. Wouldn't have anyone else.

What an inspiration this man is. The human body is an amazing thing, especially the brain.

His appearance at Yzerman's jersey retirement is probably my favourite Red Wings moment of all time.
