I dont know about you, but I want more then just one more year

in honor of a certain Mule's legendary 1st period...

Detroit Red Wings!

Ericsson is looking ok with all of this ice time.

Why are the Red Wings not up there? NONBELIEVER!

Bertuzzi has looked great today.

Not mine but thought I'd share.

To be fair, when you're paid 7.4 million, you'd damn well better do more than "look good".

One for some respect of a great player:

one at a time my friend

WTF is wrong with Thornton? Is he a retard? Does he wear that helmet on the team bus?

I agree. This guy has been invisible. If only he'd score 3-4 goals within a 5 minute span. :siren: :siren:

Would have to be Lebda and you move Ericsson up with Kronwall.

Its really funny seeing a player on the Sharks complaining about diving

I knew shaving my beard off last night was the right move! Avoiding the sweep!

Just in guys. What's the score?

Boyle own goal! f*** you Murray for trying to headhunt Datsyuk! That's what you get!

f***. The. Sharks.

Ericsson saved a goal.

Just read this article a few minutes ago. I totally agree. I understand the Wings had to win games down the stretch just to get in and then to improve their position in the playoffs, but its when the whole "ride Howard" thing really started that bothers me. There was a period in the season when the Wings were losing games no matter who was in goal and it really just mattered if the injury-hampered Wings had brought enough offense that night. This was the period when the Wings should have been having a rotation. Because of the drama between Babcock and Osgood, Ozzie was essentially shelved in December. There were periods when Howard seemed too cool off a great deal and a perfect time to get Osgood some games and rest the kid, Babcock refused. Coming out of the Olympic break, with a team refreshed, Babcock again had a chance to get a reasonable rotation going, but refused. Howard was able to play above his ability and steal some games down the stretch which every Red Wings fan should be grateful as hell for. But now that Howard has cooled off (like he had throughout the season) and is playing more like a rookie (which is understandable) we are without a backup fit to relieve him. The thing that angers me most about this is that of all the teams in the West, Detroit should have ZERO excuse for goaltending as their backup Osgood (or so he was before being "retired" by Babcock) is not only the lone goaltender in the West with ANY kind of post-season success, but has two Stanley Cup rings as a starter, one actually coming in relief. Babcock wasted an asset plain and simple, and now the Wings are on the brink.

He couldn't do his job for us in the Finals and that's all that matters. And how are you going to claim this isn't trolling? You aren't even trying anymore

Where did you find 3 Volechenkovs? If you have a cloning machine the Best line up would be: Datsyuk Zetterberg Datsyuk Datsyuk Zetterberg Datsyuk Datsyuk Zetterberg Datsyuk Datsyuk Zetterberg Datsyuk Lidstrom Stuart Lidstrom Stuart Lidstrom Stuart Assuming you have a time machine a Hasek in his prime would be ideal Hasek Hasek2 (backup)
