[jollymania 162]

Lehtonen has been jsut as good as howard.

[jeff48109 474]

tough guy franzen

[metalkorn 45]

The defense for Dallas has bailed Lehtonen out a lot tonight, it's the difference really.

[GMRwings1983 8,802]

If someone beat up Franzen, would anyone here be upset?

[Crashnburnluder 385]

hey look, Franzen tries after the whistle hahaha

[GoWings1905 2,694]

This looks like the Nashville series. Lots of shots, not real high quality for most.

Now Franzen is up from his nap and acting tough with the ref there to protect him.

[NyquistianDeke 43]

at least there are signs of life right now... but seriously what is it going to take to score?

LOL Mule needs to get his arse kicked, maybe it would wake his lazy ass up

Each and every game so far. Yes, they are terribly rusty/out of sync, but everyone is already calling for every player's head to roll. It's a short season, but we're only 1-2 (if we don't win tonight). Is there a reason to worry? Not yet. And yes, I realize it's a shortened season, but you have to give them a handful of games to hopefully start to gel.

...and there was no reason to worry last year (when we HAD Lids and Stu) when they couldn't score a goal...again, if it weren't for the new OT rules and a fluky home game win streak, they would have missed the playoffs last season...this has been a steady decline since 2009 and Holland refuses to make the deals he needs to make. Sure he went after Parise, but lost out, so he opted for Sammy? This team is stale. It's been that way throughout last season and thus far this season. There comes a time when change needs to happen. Our top 6 needs a shakeup....he needs to get what he can for Franzen and Filppula and go from there. It that means acquiring a REAL #1 defender or a REAL Sniper, it doesn't matter. Franzen may not even get you a high draft pick they way he hsa turned out.....but at least someone will come up with some heart...and Nyquist is not the one. He needs to get off the small skilled bus....one is fine, 8 is not...

I guess I am just looking at the decline of the last 3 years and the product that has been put in front of us this year.

[Marty Barry 230]

[dat's sick 1,002]

[Salviaman 104]

[hankzet40 233]

Well deserved by Brunner.

[brett 1,029]

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

Opening night at the Joe. And we suck. Bad.

At least Brunner scored but a little too late...

[Wings10 300]

Well at least no SO

[Carman 387]

Well something positive. Brunner got on the board. Little too late, but hopefully that can carry over.

[Jusek 437]

BRUNNER!

[Jaymister 71]

To little to late.

[Salviaman 104]

It doesn't matter lol

[datterberg1340 626]

[Namingway 146]

Brunner! Although a little to it, hopefully it's the first of many to come!
