At least not shut-out... #positivethinking

In all honesty, I expect Kenny to sit down with Samuelsson during the off-season, have an honest discussion with him about his injuries, and then offer him a position with the team as a condolence gift for buying him out.

He actually has to be fully healthy to be bought out, something I am starting to worry about.

Monster is god awful

Can't say I'm upset I decided to sleep off my hang over rather than watch the game. Have they played that bad? I thought they were gonna lose but to lose by a touchdown? That's horrific. Did Sharp or Hossa play?

Nope.

LTIR would be fine.

It's sad that Cola is our 3rd best D and he's jerkin off in GR

 

[DatsyukToZetterberg]

I don't see any reason to argue with the man.

Yeah, let's pull one line from a quote, that'll prove my point.

They were just talking about prices being super high because everyone is bunched together with very few seller. Who are some core pieces we could trade to make a "hockey trade". Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Kronwall, Howard aren't going anywhere. Franzen is old and signed to a long term contract, Filppula is a UFA in 3 months. Brunner I'd like to keep. The rest are 3rd/4th liners. On defense we have CC, White & Quncey who could move but only White really holds value.

The non core pieces all have little value or have some big chinks in them which cause there value to fall. The only other option is to trade prospects but we're a piece or 2 away from making a run for the cup. That means we have pretty much no choice but to stand pat or trade some of our guys for picks to get the young guys into the lineup.

I'd rather we stand pat then add something we don't need. IE: Jbo, Gaborik, Clowe, etc.

Only Detroit can out shoot a team by 8 n lose b 6 blah

 

[Lugaid]

If I saw it right, we had a save percentage of 73 today. 73.

Goalies were soft, especially Monster, holy crap. And shots are very deceptive, as anyone who watches hockey knows. One team generates high quality shots, the other generates perimeter shots and peppers the goalie with easy to stop garbage.

The combination of those two = this game.

At least there's a critical mass of people who think there are major problems that need addressing with the team now.

YOURE JUST A BANDWAGON FAN. TRUE FANS 4 LYFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many soft goals so little time

Although, I find it funny that a guy like Quincey looked good everywhere else but Detroit, and since being in Detroit he's been average. And yet somehow, the inverse for Bouwmeester is not an acceptable conclusion.

Kind of like how it was OK to say you wouldn't want the #1 Dman on the team with the worst GA/G....but that same logic wasn't acceptable for ALL of the 1st liners on the team with the worst GF/G...

It is possible the inverse is an acceptable conclusion. I am just fearful that it wouldn't be. What people expected Quincey to come over here and do was do the same thing he did for an awful LAK and COL team. When he got over here he couldn't fill that role.

I'm just scared the same would happen with Bouwmeester, but on a bigger scale. That is all. I won't go to extended lengths to try and make any more of a point than just to say that.

^ this

 

[joe89]

I ain't even mad type of loss.

 

[theYman]

So Sammy starts his first game and we lose 7-1. And lose Zetterberg. I swear it's amazing the timing.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Monster is god awful

There's actually a poster here who thinks he's better than Howard. He just usurped mindfly's top spot as the worst judge of goalie talent. So there's that.

Babcock said he doesn't expect Zetterberg to play tomorrow because I his groin injury. Howard will start tomorrow

I don't think the people here expected Quincey to do **** when he came here. We knew what he was when we had him and waived him years ago. Ken Holland was the one that thought he was worth a 1rst round pick and a depth defenseman.

And a lot of folks were *****in when Quincey looked the rock star in Colorado, so it goes both ways...

I remember posts and threads from that time that definitely said otherwise.

#RedWings send Brian Lashoff to Grand Rapids to make roster room for Danny DeKeyser. Can return Wednesday when rosters unlimited.

About time.

edit.

Holland said Lashoff will be back on Wednesday when rosters expand on trade deadline

And on a similar note, I'm not gung-ho for Bouwmeester. I just don't think many Wings fans are giving him a fair shake. He'd be in a different position here than Calgary, and I actually think he'd thrive under Babcock, who would encourage him to play a simple game instead of the flashier game that's always been expected of him.

Holland said Danny DeKeyser is not likely to play Monday because he's had only one practice with team. Carlo Colaiacovo is ready to play.

The latest.

You can find people that think a pile of doggy doo is awesome if you look hard enough. The vast majority would agree with me, however. Quincey is and was not expected to bring much, and Holland over paid for him.
