Detroit is icing a pretty bad team and still competing better than a lot of teams with better rosters. I mean what can you expect as a Detroit fan....certainly can't look for much better effort or coaching. Just not their year. When you depend on a lot of 30+ yr old players that is a recipe for trouble and this year it has been more than trouble. Bad luck for them this year especially with such an awfully weak Eastern Conference.

The Sabres have dressed 7 goalies this season. That seems like an alarming number.

If there's one thing the Blackhawks are good at besides hockey, it's marketing.
Holy shit, the amount of money they must of made from selling those green sweaters is ridiculous. Those things are hideous, yet there were SO MANY of them in the stands last night. I don't get it. I got mine for free from a buddy that used to sell the fake Chinese jerseys, and have only worn it twice in the 3-4 years I've had it...both were for Unofficial St. Patrick's at U of I (aka there was a high chance of me puking on it so I didn't care what I was wearing). |

Flyers opened up my eyes and pleasantly surprised me this weekend. If they can earn a split against the West teams this week (CHI, DAL, STL, LAK); I'd be tickled pink! (Yeah. I said it! I'm an 85 year old grandmother.)

And since I'm on a roll. (Like a hoagie!) I played 2nd line center in my men's league game last night. And man, did I play a stellar defensive game. And I may have learned how to quick stop on the fly. I was proud of myself.

One picture I always show centers that are just learning is that for faceoffs, make sure you get LOWWWWWWWWW: http://1.cdn.nhle.com/bluejackets/im...0104_slide.jpg Doesn't hurt that it's Bolly in the picture, but the important thing is to get low. Win a lot more faceoffs if your hands don't have to travel as far as the other guy. But congrats man! Keep working at it. Matty and I are both similar in that our favorite part of the game is the defensive part, which is odd, because since I've switched to defenseman, I find myself being a lot more of a Keith Yandle/Nick Leddy type. Love moving the puck, and I pinch WAY too often, and get caught like an idiot deep in the offensive zone with no one helping me. Maybe that's just the forward in me wanting to be deep in the zone. I don't know. But anyway, I love the PK more than the PP. Keep workin' at it! |

I have a feeling we would do well as a pairing. You could pinch all you want knowing that I rarely if ever will leave that blue line... and I secretly get a hard-on when I get to defend 2-on-1's. Total adrenaline rush. |

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Remember how after the goal by the Wings against LA everyone said video replay was going to be expanded? This is why I said it wasn't before and why there still could be issues. From today's 30 thoughts.
6. There is a pretty interesting difference of opinion on expanded video review and/or coach's challenges. Some GMs believe we're a year away, wanting to make sure the process is fully prepared to prevent embarrassment. Others are really against it. One of the problems is the lack of consensus on who should make the final call: the referees with a monitor in the penalty box or the war room with better technology. 7. There's a second problem, too, and it has to do with the idea of video review on a judgment call like goalie interference. Take all of the referees and all of the league's hockey operations people and say, "Here's an example. What's your thinking?" How many different interpretations do you get? Five? 10? 50? One GM said it came up in the meeting that, if the NHL goes this route, maybe only one or two people are allowed to make this type of ruling for consistency's sake. They want to have everything spelled out, but no one can agree on the spelling. |

I play center in my mens league too. Offense has always come easy to me so I've made a very strong effort over the past year to work on my defense. All of a sudden I find myself enjoying reading the play and stealing pucks almost as much as I do scoring. And I really like scoring.... We won 7-1 last night, their team hardly crossed the blue line and I believe only had 7 shots the entire game. The one goal was a cherrypicking breakaway :thumbsdow |

Had one guy before that literally always cherry picked. ALWAYS. As in, we were constantly a man down in the defensive zone because he would never spend time in it. If there was even a tiny bit of an excuse to leave the zone, he would go flying into the neutral zone, sometimes he would just stand there waiting for a pass for 10-15 seconds while we're all playing defense. We kicked him off the team after 2 games. |

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
With now Abdelkader possibly not being able to play, Landon Ferraro has been called up just in case. Including injured players, Wings have 22 forwards up on the big team. If you include Patrick Eaves who was recently traded, the Wings have had 23 different forwards on their team this year.
