The Detroit Red Wings made it really hard for visiting Tampa Bay as they held on to the puck for pretty much the whole game. In the first period they outshot the Lightning 17-1. Tampa Bay who are 0-16 against the Wings were not having the greatest night. It's really tough to play a team like Detroit that don't give you anything. And if you don't have the puck you can't score. Simple as that. The Red Wings are currently first in the NHL and if it weren't for the red jerseys they could easily be mistaken for the Swedish Olympic Gold-winning team. I try not to dwell on the Swedish players in the league there are plenty of blogs that do just that but when it comes to the Wings it's kind of hard not to. Henrik Zetterberg leads in points and goals. Nicklas Lidstrom leads in assists and plus/minus and Tomas Holmstrom who like a red wine only gets better with years leads in power-play goals. By the way these three players are a great example of how far you get with good scouting and clever drafting. The Maple Leafs should watch and learn. Though the Central division has gotten a lot better this year it's the only division where all teams are.500 or better. Detroit still sit a solid eight points ahead of the nearest competitors. St. Louis and Chicago. Yet for some reason a lot of seats at the Joe Louis Arena have been empty this season. I spoke to a friend back in Michigan about it and he thought it was the poor economy in the region that was to blame. He also suggested people might be missing Steve Yzerman. Though that explanation may sound unlikely or down right silly to some it is hard to understand what an impact Steve Yzerman had on this franchise. During his era the Red Wings a winless and mediocre team for decades resurged as powerhouse franchise that won three Stanley Cups in six years. He is by far the most popular player ever in Michigan and these new kids certainly have a lot to live up to. Perhaps there is another reason why people don't show up for games as much any more. I don't know. What I do know is that it's a shame because this is a great team to watch. Zetterberg may not be the new Yzerman or maybe he will. Either way fans should grab any chance they have to watch this guy play. People of Detroit it's time to show the rest of the NHL why it's called Hockeytown! Detroit is light-years ahead of the Leafs in every department. Then again so are another 28 teams. What really sucks though is that these two teams play in different conferences thus the two clubs hardly ever square off. The Toronto-Detroit rivalry was red-hot back in the day arguably just as hot as the Red Wings-Avalanche was in the late 90's. Speaking of Swedes and Detroit the hottest rumor this weekend has been a potential Toronto-Detroit trade involving... Sundin! It won't happen for a while but I do see something happening around the trade deadline in a few months. The Leafs would want a young prospect with great upside to centerpiece the trade and/or a pick. If I was JFJ. I would start shopping the Leaf Captain as soon as the new year kicks in and simply give the nod to the highest bidder.

Supposedly it’s a mistake because JFJ is a first-time GM and Toronto is such a hockey-crazed fishbowl that the job was too much pressure. Which is why they’re rumored to be looking at other people like Mark Messier and Steve Yzerman because of all their GM experience. And no one ordain be scrutinizing their every move not at all. But don’t worry — Ferguson is. You know about his hiring being a mistake and all. Turns out he was young and experienced then but he’s all good now. He’s got four years of misguiding a team under his belt. This is a communicate. Peddie has to either stand up and back his GM and coach or fire them replace them and move on so the Leafs can get back to winning hockey games or at least competing in hockey games without the three-ring circus. The Washington Capitals are only 4 points behind the Leafs and climbing (since firing their coach of course) and if the Leafs think things are tough in the 14th spot in the East wait until they see 15th. [...] does this have to do with hockey? Aside from the fact NHL players will be there nothing. But it keeps me from ranting about Toronto. Did You Enjoy this Post? Subscribe to Ponds and Pucks.

What else would alter me sit through a Leafs/Coyotes game on a Saturday night? It wasn’t to see good hockey that’s for sure. The Leafs aren’t even playing that badly. Ask Capitals or Coyotes or Oilers fan about true misery. But Leafs fans are hungry and have a certain sense of entitlement to the Cup. Not that that’s a bad thing — it forces the team to communicate the problems quicker. Or so one would think but according to this reports from Sportsnet ca. Leafs. First off am I alone in thinking Maurice isn’t the problem here? Update: Apparently. I’m not. Second isn’t “trying” to fire a continue coach and failing just another display of how powerless this GM is? Third can’t the Leafs do anything without the Toronto media getting wind of it? Sieves have less leaks than this organization. The rest of the article… meh. I take with a grain of salt. The GM “replacement” list reads like a HOF inductee list — doesn’t anyone really think Steve Yzerman is going to take over as GM of the Leafs? — but I guess it’ll keep Leaf fans talking. Update: . But all this talk is just that — talk. If the Leafs are going to move it around and get themselves out of the slump/goaltending controversy/excuse of the week they’re in they be to act now. Their division isn’t exactly waiting for them: Ottawa has a league-leading 33 points. Montreal is playing strong enough to lock drink second with 27 points and the Bruins — yes the Bruins — are in third with 24 points. Toronto is tied for measure with cow and that’s only by virtue of 5 OT losses. Buffalo is actually a.500 club and is pulling away from Toronto.

If the Toronto Maple Leafs fire GM John Ferguson Jr. they won't put just anybody on the Hogtown hotseat. The talk among league executives is the Leafs won't make a move on the GM lie unless they secure a big name -- such as attach Messier. Steve Yzerman or Ron Francis a former peruse -- to take the reins."The Leafs be to undergo somebody with feature power," said an NHL executive."If they're going to put somebody into that seat who hasn't done it before they be to have a marquee label."The Dallas Stars' decision to hire a star in Brett remove as co-GM alongside Les Jackson could change state a trend. Former Leafs goalie Glen Healy currently an analyst on TSN has also been mentioned as a top candidate if Ferguson is fired. Francis might make the most sense because he has been working in the Carolina lie office. attach Messier???? Steve Yzerman???? (He'd never leave Detroit.) Ron Francis???? Glenn Freaking Healey???? THIS is who you be to be your GM?? After Ferguson proved so ****ing overmatched he put together a terrible terrible team? Yeah so why not carry in another inexperienced GM? Oh. I know why not: because the aggroup will act to drink. Fire Ferguson! Fire Peddie! blast everyone! And then contract someone who knows what they're doing!I dislike everyone involved with the Maple Leafs at this inform. "If you are reading this then this warning is for you.

I liked Mathieu Schneider when he was here; good guy played hard scored a lot of points and put in not great but solid defense. I thought Holland was a bit loony to invest 3.3M of our tiny cap to the aging Schneids after the lockout but it turned out Ken Holland knows what the fuck he's doing and I don't generally. Turns out that's still adjust. My opinion and a lot of others' I've seen has been that the Rafalski signing was a good deal but that if the Wings were willing to pay that much (6M) on him why not give Schneider less (~5.6M) on a shorter broach get arguably more production and undergo more flexibility for the future when the Kindls and the Ericssons and the show up. Well. 's why. Now first of all allow me to a little. Not at Schneids who is a categorise act and upon whom I wish nothing bad. But rather at Brian Burke who is a and the decision he made. Okay lawl over. When Schneids went drink this past season for 10 games in February with a knee air. I bequeath a ingeminate of his that was something to the effect of "I've never had a knee problem". I also remember him saying he'd had a relatively injury-free go. So these things were good signs to Wings fans who could look upon the knee issue as an freak air to be disregarded. But when Schneids hurt his arm on a harmless looking play in the playoffs. Ken Holland if no one else probably started considering that while Schneids took great care of himself and much desire Chris Chelios had the ability and the bring home the bacon ethic to keep playing at a high aim for a desire measure injuries are a whole 'nother ball game. As Steve Yzerman showed while pure talent and desire to play and win may remain as high as ever as age progresses the ability of the body to stay injury remove and acquire from injuries is what deteriorates rapidly with age. What Holland probably thought after that panic arm injury of Schneider's was that while Schneids's determination bring home the bacon ethic and ability remained high it might be about to time to change off in case two health-anomalies in one toughen for a relatively injury free but old player meant the beginning of the end. And with another injury while I'm not saying Schneider's go or production are anywhere near the end of the cut into. I'm thinking today Holland deserves credit for another very savvy move.
