Red Wings

Seider had a check that was similar to Datsyuk in that the guy was coming up to hit him and Seider lowered the shoulder at the last second and leveled him.

Nice W tonight for the Wings against a solid Rangers team. I think it's getting lost a bit in the rookie excitement but Larkin is having a fantastic year.

Wallstedt wasn't the consensus #1 goalie. It's not like Cossa came out of nowhere. You guys are so horribly wrong on that assessment.

Wallstedt was indeed the consensus #1 but Cossa wasn’t some schleprock. No one is saying Cossa can’t be really good but Wallstedt has been lights out.

[jaadam4]

And yeah, Larkin has been fantastic.

Wild game at LCA tonight. It looked like they might be able to pull off the comeback but they were just too sloppy and couldn’t handle Toronto’s speed.

I can’t believe how good Raymond and Seider are this soon. I’ll be curious to see how much better they look when Vrana returns

[jaadam4]

Vrana didn’t waste much time announcing his arrival

[JGSpartan]

Too bad their defense has just completely fell apart the last three games

[The King]

Leery with a big game. Good timing to flip him.

I somehow read that as “Cleary” and had Ken Holland flashbacks.

Im guessing you meant Leddy and I agree. Trade off the last of the non essentials and promote those young guys next season. Detroit’s weak D is going to be a strength with how well the youth have been performing

[JGSpartan]

I remember people boohooing giving up a late 2nd for Leddy. I said then if they don't want to keep him they'll at least get the 2 back. Well there ya go.

[froot loops]

How long is this rebuild supposed to take?

[JGSpartan]

As long as it needs to, they got exactly what they wanted from Leddy. A vet to play with their young guys that they'd ship back out later.

Every year, they are just trading for picks.

no kidding, it’s why Stevie Y has our farm system ranked on the top 3 systems in all of hockey.

[froot loops]

They are 23 points out of a playoff spot. In what year should we expect a playoff appearance? Next year? A couple weeks ago they lost 9-2 to the woeful Coyotes.
