Bill Berzeench 310 Report post Posted October 10, 2015 Green is supposed to help out the defense, period. If he can't do that without Danny D. then there is a problem Precisely. 6 mil a year is a salary you pay a top d guy to make other guys and the team better.

roboturner 562 Report post Posted October 10, 2015 Assuming most of you are Lions fans (I'm a Packers fan, Green Bay is only 2 hours from here), I'm surprised you guys aren't more sympathetic to the "Owen" jokes. I remember when by little brother was born about 13 years ago, there were jokes about naming him Owen after the Lions record (my dad is a Lions fan). And of course who can forget that "Owen 16" season not long ago, which was capped off by a loss to the Packers if I'm not mistaken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted October 10, 2015 It seems that Tats and Gus need to shake off some rust. it seems like neither of them have put some weight on or even trained this summer, I mean Tats will be fine but goose needs another ten pounds or he needs to get a new playing style, Z won't be here forever and he probably won't even play with him this year that second line needs some work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, we endured that season, bringing it up doesn't bother us.Lions fans are like maple leaf fans, except we know we're terrible. 1 MrazekFanBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't live in Detroit anymore, but I was able to be there for the 16th game of that infamous season. All kinds of places were advertising their "0 and 16" parties. I think I would have actually been disappointed if they'd won that game (although the Lions' losing streak at Lambeau is getting ridiculous).

number9 3,297 Report post Posted October 11, 2015 Babs is the one who put himself on the hotseat. Not us. If he fails in Toronto, we will get an infinite source of laughter for years to come. If he does well, screw it he's Babcock, of course he did well. F the Leafs. Winning = Detroit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talking about how he's going to get em a stanley cup and the Red Wings will miss playoffs in the next year or two without him. I hope Toronto continues to be a pile of rubble and Babcock and Shanny fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Toronto continues to be a pile of rubble and Babcock and Shanny fail. No doubt, I don't think Babs will turn around the Leafs. I think a a crappy team will have a great coach and they will continue to suck like always. Meanwhile the Wings make cup runs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twopups 19 Report post Posted October 12, 2015 Anyone that watched this game would have to be absolutely f***in crazy to suggest Larkin would have been better off in GRs. If Babcock was the coach Larkin would not be playing in this game. If injuries forced him to play the kid it would be on the forth line, lucky to get 8 minutes. Wonder where our former coach would've slotted The Kid? FORTH LINE, 8 minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andersson would be playing 22 minutes a night with Glendening and Miller still if Babs was still around. 1 MrazekFanBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
