Don't count on it. PM me your paypal information if you want. My offer from earlier still stands. I won't expect anything from you if you win because I find stealing to be immoral.

Sorry, let me rephrase: "a comparatively crappy year". If we fight, we can make the playoffs and then who knows? It's not like we're going to be in the bottom third of the league this year so there's no need to sell the farm...
Are we at the head of the pack where we want to be? No. Are we at the back of the pack where we need to blow up the team? No. Are we in the middle of the pack where we can be competitive for a year and come out looking for a few pieces to complete the team next year? Maybe.

Kronwall is a #3, and yet Ericsson is a #4...Looks like the logical switch has been flipped off for the night.
What games have you been watching? I'm guessing your sitting around on youtube jerking off to Kronwall hits.
I'm not so worried about this year. I'm more worried about two years when Datsyuk heads back to Russia and our stud prospects have around 100 games and 20 goals between them
Kronwall gets an assist on CBJs goal. I think Kronwall was on the ice for every goal against.
That's our #1? KronwaLOL
Overrated and overpaid. No Stuart = Kronwall is pure garbage.

The problem is, we've been in this situation for 3 years now. We have 1) not acquired any pieces that are worth being incorporated into our core, and 2) have barely developed the NHL game of any of our top prospects in that time, particularly this season.
Moreover, we have few valuable pieces that Holland would be willing to trade at the deadline if we ARE clearly out of the playoffs, and are in no position to be trading for quick fixes at the deadline if we ARE in the playoff picture.

Classy comment. I've never been a Kronwall fan, and I've never been a Kronwall hater either. It helps when trying to see things objectively.
Calling him "Nik jr" is an insult to Lidstrom. Kronwall is garbage without Stuart saving his ass 30 times a night.
I was thinking about "confidence" and how it's a paradox. In my opinion, you want your forwards to have confidence but not your defensemen.
Our forwards, outside of just a few, don't have enough of it and our defenders have too much of it. "I can make the blind, backhand pass out of the zone while under pressure just fine!" "Last man back? No problem, I can TOTALLY pinch and then win the game!" "Safe play off the boards and out? Nah, let me try to thread this pass through our crease!"

I'm sorry about the rash nature of my comment. I want Kronwall to be good. If he didn't have a lifetime contract and was held in such high regard by fans and the organization I wouldn't be so hard on him. But that's not the case.

People on this board keep saying "3 years now we have been sucking"
The last 3 years we were:
2010: 6th Best team
2011: 7th Best team
2012: 6th Best team
Based on points for the season.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010–11_NHL_season
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011–12_NHL_season
This is not sucking guys.
Our team used to be the BEST in hockey for 10 years now... Some of you have no idea what sucking is!
EDIT: This year should be the first year of "mid-pack ranking" 10th to 20th

They came out flying in the first then just died.
Special Teams and defense still blow. Kronwall had a rough night and Quincey did too as usual.

Hey, we possibly might get an idea of that soon enough, think about it, we've gone quite seamlessly from arguing if we will win the Cup about a year ago to arguing if we'll make the playoffs.
Nice goal by Ehrhoff! Talk about freaking out. At least, Quincy hasn't done anything like that... yet.

Our bottom 6 has virtually no offensive talent. Only guy I think is decent offensively is Eaves. I like what I've seen from Emmerton too I guess, he creates chances for himself.
Miller, Cleary, Abby, Tootoo. Can't really rely on these guys to score you many goals. We need some scoring depth. Nyquist or Tatar needs to come up for one of these turds.

whenever the wings get a power play, i immediately feel dissapointed knowing i have to watch our top players stumble over themselves for 2 minutes.
