raymond continuing to justify that contract.

1-1 after 2. edvinsson is really really good. kasper playing well too. good to see the youth playing so well. actually gives me a little hope for the future.

zadorov gets called for slashing and then blatantly cross checks raymond in the back in front of everyone and they dont call the cross check? what the actual **** was that? nhl refs are bitches.

great tip by kasper (although i'm not sure he knew anything about it) and its 2-1. and its overruled because ERIC GUSTAFSON'S DUMB ASS WAS OFFSIDES. he really is becoming my least favorite red wing.

great education! the values of a michigan man!

i dont really care for lalonde, but in his defense, what do you exoect a guy to do when you have justin holl, jeff petry, eric gustafson, and ben chiarot on defense?

its so frustrating to watch this team try to do simple things like bring the puck out of their own zone. in back to back instances chiarot tries to pass to center but it goes off a wide open red wings' stick and out of play. the next time gufstafson tries to clear off his own board and it goes all the way down for icing. so infuriating they cant even do the little things.

i have it on espn+

yup.

first of many. just like everywhere else. free for all.

zion would get the usual 5 first rounders/pick swaps that most star players get. there is no way i would make that trade but it wouldnt surprise me if some team did. if he were actually on the block.

assistant coach in the nba...

husso plays well and then gives up 2 easy goals he should have stopped.

and now theyre on the power play after a debrincat screw up.

lalonde gets a lead and promptly goes into prevent defense mode. sure enough, husso lets in a soft goal and its tied at 4.

wings come out dominating the third period. outshooting them 9-0. scored two goals. one a garbage in front goal from rasmussen (which is what he should be doing every game) and the other a very pretty goal by tarasenko on a nice rush by kasper and a good pass from berggren.

well, ya'll wanted tobias harris so bad...

wings playing (and losing) a matinee today. gave up two power play goals. seider had a very bad second period. edvinsson loses the puck and fischer botches his covering responsibility and vancouver scores their 3rd on a two on one. 3-2 after 2. talbot got hurt in the second. husso in. husso made some nice saves until giving up the 3rd goal. kasper looks active, as usual. larkin looks a bit off. kind of like he's looked all season. still good, still scoring and making plays, but he just looks a beat behind this year.

i think there's a better chance that Day quits than he's fired. i dont know if he really wants that job anymore. he's got a ton of money and may not want the aggravation and stress of being osu head coach. he could negotiate a lesser buyout and go be a pro coordinator somewhere. i would be shocked if osu ponied up $37m to make him go away with no obvious successor in place.

even annie agar ran out of excuses...

Jiricek traded to minnesota for a dman, a conditional first, a second, a third and a fourth (spaced out over the next 3 drafts). i would never make that deal if i'm detroit.

that's what i mean. start fining them.

its ridiculous. they should ban it.

walman is understandable to me. he was weak and a front runner. talented, but not really a "defenseman." the fact they had to attach a pick to give him up tells you how the league sees him. he's doing well as a good player on a crap team. with that said, gothisbere is a little harder to explain. like ive said before, if you dont spend on tarasenko then you can afford ghost and dont need to sign gustafson, who has been a disaster.

whatever. teams have been "planting the flag" for years. michigan did it two years ago without incident. texas did it at michigan this year. i find it annoying, but its almost to be expected now. and instead of walking off the field and granting the winners their due, osu decided to attack them, take the flag and try to destroy it. yet gus decides to take MICHIGAN to task. maybe he thinks michigan should be above such petty activities and is upset that they would lower thenselves. however, the fault in this instance is with ohio state. maybe gus is a michigan gan trying to cover it up (he did go to my high school, go cubs!), but today he was annoying and very much in the bucknuts' pocket.
