i love it how people turn into "douches" when they get tough with our guys.

It's a Red Wings game. Not a Michigan game.

Obviously, we don't want to ride him long term; he'll likely eventually have a bad game. But at this point, I think he's played well enough in his time up to prove he should be the backup for the rest of this year (and next year, too). I like Conkers but he just doesn't seem to have any gas left, and that worries me come playoff time. Personally, I think Joey could hold the fort during the tighter defensively playoffs if he had to for a few games. Not to mention he's busted his ass to prove he should be up here. Is there anyone on here that really disagrees at this point?

yet you are okay with another player attempting to injure one of ours? solid logic.

You shut your damn mouth.

Maybe its just me, but im opposed to anything not red and white/cream. I don't think blue against the leafs is gonna happen.

Helm is so bad with the puck.

For getting repeatedly punched in the face by Franzen?

Johan Franzen, the Gloved Punch Enforcer.

Someone elbows Ericsson to the head with an elbow while jumping and no call. Rinaldo is a ******. Hopefully Big E channels Probie and messes him up later.

I've gotta say Engblom and Strader are SO much better than Pierre and Eddie BlowSidsDyck.

He is. Anyone perceiving a "anti-wings slant" tonight is hearing things.

He is behind Gustav. After that there's a log jam of guys who proved they can dominate the junior game, can dominate college kids and can dominate other foreigners. Tatar had proven at 18 he can play with men and play well. That's where his hype has come from. He is fast with a gnarly shot. and built like a mini tank.

I know... he reminds me of me... when I was 5

hee hee. It's fun seeing Talbot pissed off like that.

I second that. The brown with the bright orange looks fantastic. Such a 70's vintage feel.

Didn't he get embarrassed by Kovalchuk last week?

Good to see no butthurt on that hit.

Kronwalled! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy than Briere. I hate that punk.

Is it just me, or is Engblom really blowing the Wings tonight? I never knew he liked our team this much.

Terrible call. How is it even possible to get that wrong?

Nice job erring on the side of caution you ******* idiot refs.

Yes, but I recall him saying the Hawks asked him to give them a list of 5 teams he would like to play for and they would try to accommodate him. Lucky for us, Detroit was on that list, despite his words previous to that date. Blue, I don't understand all the hate you get for making threads that include lines combo's. Isn't that an important part of hokcey, lines? I like reading them. I don't always agree with your combo's but that is the point right? With that being said, I am not so sure it would cost as much as Hudler and Kindl to acquire Selanne for a spring rental. Wings_Toledo is on the right track with Hudler always be offered up (I am guilty as charged) but really, unless some team REALLY wants Hudler badly, nobody that are sellers are going to ask for a pending UFA in return. BUT, they mayb take a lessor player and a higher level prospect for him, or maybe a couple of prospects. I am not sure. I would make one change to your lines though, I would swap Zetterberg and Datsyuk. Filppula - Datsyuk - Selanne Bertuzzi - Zetterberg - Franzen I would also like to see what wings_fanatic suggested with re-teaming Zetterberg and Datsyuk, but I would keep Franzen on their wing, because if Franzen was on a line with Fil and Selanne they would get their assess pounded on a nightly basis with no one to protect them. Having Bertuzzi out there would at least make other teams look behind their heads before taking liberties. Of course that would leave Dats and Z open for abuse then, because Franzen isn't gonna drop anyone short of punching someone after the whistle or game expires...

I liked your idea I spent 20 minutes making a quick adjustment to the jersey to see what it would look like. I think both teams wearing colours instead of white would be a good idea considering the stadiums size and if its a sunny day crazy reflections from the ice and white jerseys.

I hope someone kicks the snot out of that man soon.
