  1. Hartnell bit Letang? You can tell by his denial that he did it too. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=291008015 That's going to be a fun season series.
  2. Yeah, that's a pretty douchy thing to do by Miklasz there. And that's exactly what he was doing. Awww, our prized OF screwed up and Mizzou [expletive] themselves and it's rained 27 inches here in the last 24 hours. Let's deflect and point and laugh at the Cubs!
  3. That's over-thinking it, to my mind. I don't think Q calling that timeout cemented in the guys' heads that they were fucked if they didn't score. It said they had a golden opportunity to take a two-goal lead and it was worth the extra time to draw something up. Now, that said, I disagree with Q calling the TO there because it gave Detroit's PK'ers a breather.
  4. I was stuck with the Wings feed on NHLN last night, and they described the Hawks at one point as skating in sand. That was my impression from the 10-minute mark of the first period on. They just looked slow. Now, Detroit didn't look much better, but they also got a few bounces and were facing a goaltender who isn't going to steal games like Osgood can. Hjalmarsson looked pretty bad last night, and that Smolanek guy is useless. If Eager is healthy, there is no reason that dude should be on the ice. Oh, and Sopel sucks.
  5. The playoffs are always different. The refs swallow their whistles, and the guys know it.
  6. Things the Wings do well...Check, Forecheck, backcheck, battle for pucks in corners, play physical in front of net. Things the Wings avoid...Fighting, running at players long after they have released the puck to just make a big hit but take yourself out of play, stupid scrums after whistle. The first list I made was things that physical play does that helps a team win. The second group is things that players do just to show how tough they are but dont help win hockey games. Team oriented...individual oriented. I am glad the Wings play "Nancy" hockey. What Babcock is getting frustrated with is some of the activities that go on after the whistle. I am not sure adding Brad May is a good solution. I was surprised to hear him say that. But it suggests that perhaps some of the running around (from your "second list") does in fact help the team win games if it keeps the skill guys on the ice.
  7. This. He's terrible.
  8. Hey, it's worked for them. But I prefer even my scoring forwards to have a nasty edge to them.
  9. Interesting comments from Babcock and possibility May will suit up tonight: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=4542216 Sounds like he's tired of playing European nancy hockey.
  10. I don't know, I don't see this fellow they got as being particularly desirable to anyone. And I doubt Johnson was much of a cap hit. Looking forward to the game tonight. I don't care what happened last spring. DETROIT (still) SUCKS!
  11. Interesting the drama behind it, I guess, but the fact is we had a surplus on defense and Brent Sopel is better than Aaron Johnson. Which isn't saying much for AJ. I was under the impression they were very deep at forward and if they needed anything it was defensemen. You only dress 6 defensemen. Barker, Hjarmalsson, Keith, Seabrook, Campbell and Sopel, and then you've got Hendry there as a backup.

  13. nm, forgot the sack pushed them back.
  14. Oh no, we cannot be offside again.
  15. Do you realize that we are ahead by 13 points? We wouldn't be against GB or MIN. Your point? You seriously don't see the point? Seriously, but just in case, I'll spell it out. We may be able to get away with this crap against Detroit (which isn't a certainty even at this point), but it won't cut it against the better teams in the league.

  17. Oh no, Cutler fumbled that ball. Okay, he got it. Wow, that was pretty.
  18. The nail in the coffin could have been right there.
  19. I'd love to have some fingernails left at the end of this one. A TD here would go a long way.
