    1/17 GDT : Predators 2 at Red Wings 5

    Man, I've been loving watching Mrazek play every night. He seems really focused and mentally engaged each night.

    1/13 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Sabres 1

    So, don't use Pulkkinen on the 5-on-3 but use Zetterberg for 3 one timers. Send Pul out for the last 20 seconds and give him a terrible pass. Okie doke. Game could've been over. Hehe.

    Wow, Tom McCollum is like everybody's geeky best friend. I hope he does well out there if/when he gets the start.

    1/13 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Sabres 1

    Hey guys, I missed some hockey lately and was wondering if anybody could tell me: 1) When did Pulkkinen come in? 2) Who did he generally replace in the lineup? 3) Has he been any good?

    Jimmy Howard.......All-Star!

    I wouldn't care if Gus was healthy. Mrazek is pretty good.

    Vaya con dios Damien Brunner

    So wait, if his contract was less money he could very well have an NHL future with the Wings? Seemed like we were interested in developing him. If I understand this right, nobody wants him because his contract is too big? And if the Devils can terminate his contract Brunner won't even get his $5 mil? That seems messed up. Seems like Brunner should be able to play in the NHL as a $500k-er and not have a retarded loaded contract by the owners screw him over

    Datsyuk NHL 1st star last week

    Wow, Datsyuk and Tatar #1 and #2 league stars of the week. That's special

    12/7 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Hurricanes 1

    The Hurricanes feed is pretty excited about Nestrasil. He's had a good game. I hope he works out well in Carolina. They could use a guy like him to get going. Mrazek owned Skinner all night.

    Jesus Christ Datsyuk was out of control that period.

    Nestrasil!!

    12/6 GDT : Rangers 2 at Red Wings 3

    Yeah, he just has so much skill. His hands are subtly good, like Datsyuk, and he's smart. Before this season I said he was the young guy with the most unlocked potential. I'm still super excited for what he'll become. Everytime he scores it's like a birthday party for me

    Devils sign Brunner 2 yrs. $2.5 million AAV

    So if somebody claims him from Waivers that means they are stuck -$2.5m cap space per year as per his contract?

    12/4 GDT - Stars 2 at Red Wings 5

    I nonchalantly thought to myself, "Man, if I had the Dallas goaltender on my fantasy team, I might not play him tonight, because he'd be playing the Wings!" And then I realized how weird it was to think like that... Oh I'll take it

    Nestrasil Waived / Claimed by Hurricanes

    Yeah is see where you're coming from. I liked Andersson last year, but this year he's showing so many deficits. Then again he is defensively responsible and kills penalties so it makes sense for him to be here. Same goes for Miller. I just think Miller is having his worst year

    Nestrasil Waived / Claimed by Hurricanes

    Cleary had been playing far better than Anderson and Miller. He's definitely showing himself to not be the bottom or second to bottom plug on this team. He was far better than Nestrasil. Nestrasil was easily the worst player on the team.

    11/20 GDT : Red Wings 4 at Jets 3

    Mrazek is so much better with his stick than Howard

    11/20 GDT : Red Wings 4 at Jets 3

    Pavelec is having a career year. The low scoring Wings team will have a difficult time scoring against him. I prefer seeing Mrazek in net over Howard. I think it will be a low scoring game.

    11/20 GDT : Red Wings 4 at Jets 3

    When Smith dropped the gloves I immediately had the urge to come here and post "Don't break your hand Smitty ". Did he really break it? The second I loaded the stream I hard "Smith has been very very good..." Yup! Got the right feed

    11/9 GDT - Tampa Bay 4 at Detroit 3 (SO) - 6:00 PM EST

    Game number 3 of 10 for Dan Cleary. Games 1 and 2 he was good. I hope he can continue I look forward for a big hit or two by Cleary (which never seems to be talked about?) Crazy to see Nyquist has 1 less goal than Stamkos this far into the season.

    Jersey Sponsorship

    Yeah, if ads come to jerseys I'm probably done with the sport for good. Already I've had enough of watching car commercials. Now if I had to watch millionaires skate on the ice with Chevy jerseys followed by car commercials I'd have to accept its just too much consumer whorism for me.

    Just a feel good win all-around.

    11/7 GDT : Devils 2 at Red Wings 4

    If Kindl scores even 10 goals this year and plays as good as Quincey defensively maybe we shouldn't even trade him. Like, with the amount of scoring on this team, scoring a goal should mean instant annual position earned.

    Ericsson really sucks lately.

    11/7 GDT : Devils 2 at Red Wings 4

    His shot has been good, so it's no fluke he's been converting. It's refreshing to see on this team of defenders.
