New Money, Old Money and St. Louis ” The Production Line
Disch’s take on the situation has me rolling: “Lil’ D, here’s a bit of advice. We’ve been here. We’ve been here for a long time. We’ll be here long after your little surge is over, your new found currency gone, and you’re back in your cave, jerking it to some Gretz card you saved from that 10 minutes when he was saddled with playing for your sad little franchise.”
We’re Better Than You | Nightmare on Helm Street
Interesting question from Drew at NOHS: do we even need to make a move by the trade deadline…or would you feel confident enough taking this squad against any team in a seven game series?

People on the outside might just want to credit the Red Wings system and knock Jimmy because he plays behind Lidstrom, but those who watch this kid every night know just how good he is. Jimmy for President.
