Thanks for the heads up. We'll be sure to keep our expectations low so we won't be disappointed. I suspect the Wings have much the same mindset, with that two-way contract and all. Maybe playing with Nick Lidstrom will improve his defensive capabilities. Gee, that’s encouraging. Thanks for the heads up. We’ll be sure to keep our expectations low so we won’t be disappointed.

We laughed it off, saying Zhitnik or whoever would be able to handle it. They called him Any Elmore.... no D. We laughed. By mid-season, we cried. Best of luck on this one. But, you've been warned.

The Wings definitely need that! The end of last season into the playoffs we were just awful with the man advantage. Probably Babcock’s best bet is to keep him as a seventh defenseman and just put him on the power play.

Hopefully the Wings can get him back on track. Probably Babcock's best bet is to keep him as a seventh defenseman and just put him on the power play. Delmore was a train wreck in Buffalo.
