I forgot who was coaching this team ha
Not many coaches would choose to sit the other guys vs Hronek as well. Green, Kronwall, Big E are vets who wont get scratched and don't really deserved to tbh. Jensen has been in trade speculation talks around the league so theres no point in showcasing him on the bench. DDK just got back from injury and as much as we fans give him flack for not becoming what we'd hoped for, he isn't getting benched for Hronek either.

No Hronek. So much for all that kid talk. Absolutely ridiculous.

What's our goal here with that defense? To win games? Because that's sure as hell not going to happen. God I wish DeKeyser would just dissapear off this team.

Dekeyser hasn't played in over a month and he's still finding ways to make me hate him even more

You should hate Holland, Dekeyser didn't sign himself...
Holland was like we like the guy he's from Detroit. Sign him. Didn't know being from Detroit was supposed to be a prerequisite to make the team.FYI not every local player is a great player.

Isn't Anaheim on something like an 11 game losing streak? Oh boy! This oughtta be good tonight. Come to Detroit where your losing streak comes to die or your money back. I swear I don't know how many team's losing streaks we've ended this year.

Are people forgetting that DDK was praised around here before his play got stagnant? Many believe if he played against the Hawks, we win that series in his rookie year. Nobody hated that extension when it happened.

The only thing I remember is his skating was praised. Otherwise the guy really has nothing. For his offensive downside his defense doesn't still makeup for it. Yeah makes good plays sometimes but never elite.

And are you in the boat that thinks the team should bench their 6 year 30 mil dollar investment just so they can play Hronek?

I would like to blame Babcock, but he was gone when DDK's extension was signed.

Why not what?
He was referring to why not sit Ericson.

You can't honestly tell us that he's better than Hronek now or in the long term. So you're left with saying you can't sit him because he's a vet that's put in his time and blah blah blah and that's how we got here now anyway.

It's possible they're going 7 D. They've posted 6 D 12F in the past when they did 7.
