If Chuck plays Kris, it will take some serious special effects to have the boards damage his face rather than the reverse.

Get Sarah Jessica Parker to play Claude Lemieux.

Even if he's not necessarily "a sure source", it is a rumor thread and it is fun to speculate no? That being said... Not sure I like losing Flip for Yandle. I think, THINK, I'd rather lose Franzen and roll the dice with Brunner/Nyquist making up for his scoring. At least we know we'll get major hustle from Nyquist.

If our talent pool is so good, why resign Bertuzzi, sign Brunner, sign Samuelson, sign Tootoo, etc etc etc. I think Emmerton is the only guy we have that is a legit NHLer because of his spped. Hopefully, Brunner's speed will be as advertised as well. We need it. Holland not getting anybody this off-season has put us in sink or swim mode, which is probably going to be hard to stomach but is probably not a bad thing long term. At least we will know what these young guys can do instead of arguing about it!!!

I argue that if you knew anything about the wings, you now know that for years and years holding back talent in the minors was a luxury for this club. One that they are no longer able to afford i'm affriad. Whith so many oppertunities now available for these younger players, I feel that it will only thin our prospects pool even further.

The Hall is for the Greatest Hockey Players. The Rafters are for the Greatest Red Wings. Not just the most talented, but also those who have bled Red.

My favourite player on the Wings in the 90s too. Such a shame it ended the way it did, because based upon every other criteria #91 deserves to be hanging from the rafters. I know the Sergei haters bang on about his lack of effort in the regular season, but when it mattered - when it really mattered, in the playoffs, he always showed up

didn't see anything about this posted (if it was, delete this please) but I thought this was interesting.... CSN Philly: Flyers Claude Giroux had 2 surgeries on his wrists this summer, and told the Timmins Press that they are because of Sidney Crosby.y “Those are from [sidney] Crosby,” Giroux told the paper. “Every time we’d line up against each other for a face-off during our series, instead of going for the puck when it was dropped, he’d hack me across the wrists. I ended up playing the series against Jersey with one of them fractured and had to go for surgery on both of them after we were out of the playoffs.” and people don't understand why a lot of people don't like crosby? hah! one would think a player of sid's caliber could at least show a little class.. hopefully this doesn't effect giroux on the ice next season.

Howard? premier #1 goaltender Kronwall? top 2 D-man Filppula? top 6 forward Hudler? top 6 forward Quincey? top 4 D-man plz keep ur crack smoking in Minnesota

the Star Wars movies. The person below me has owned green shoes.

Please stay on topic. I've had to remove several posts in this thread. Discuss the content of the post, not the person making it. Someone having an unpopular or minority opinion does not automatically make them a troll. Keep attacking the person directly, no matter how minor, and I'm gonna to have to go all Shanaban on people.

Great. Now I wish we'd gotten Craig Smith. Cupcakes, dinner, and a concert? And ice cream on top of it? Gett'er done, Kenny.

Roman Josi's response hahahahahaha

Question for you off the top of your head. Who is on the Wild's bottom 6 forwards and 3rd D pairing? No looking on their site either dude time's up...NO ONE OF NOTE!

I was going through my stuff on the counter this morning and came across the program from the Preds v. Wings elimination game. Enjoy a couple Tootoo tidbits, or Toobits, if you will.

Smith wasn't NHL ready until last season, he had maturity and dedication problems until his last year at Wisconsin, and that being the case he would need at least a year at the AHL to make sure those problems were in the past.

I agree with you. If prospects are really good, they develop in the NHL. Not Grand Rapids.

George Clooney as Me watching the game on TV @ home. They obviously would have a quick cut to an average fan's living room when McCarty scores in overtime, right? As I leap up from making out with my girlfriend--played by Anne Hathaway-- to celebrate and spill my huge bowl of popcorn sitting on my lap.

Chuck Norris can play Darren McCarty.

Also from the article: How do you screw up letting the clock run, lean on the button accidentally? Guy must have had money on the Kings or something.

Feds, I'm pretty sure, was everyone's favorite player at some point. He was definitely a special player and future hall of famer. That's enough for him. Numbers in the rafters are for those that embody what it means to be a Red Wing, those that we want to use to define our franchise. Fedorov was fun to watch and was a key to our success but ultimately did not represent himself well nor did he spend enough years here.

NO Theres a reason only 6 numbers hang in those rafters (soon to be 7). That is an exclusive club, too exclusive even for Feds. To have your number retired by the wings is like the highest honor...everything must be perfect to get that, and thats what makes it so honorable. if we gave that honor to Feds we would have to give it to a whole bunch of guys. I love 91 just as much as the next guy and it would seriously pain me to see anyone else where that number....but he does not deserve it. Spent wayyyyyy to many years not in Detroit

So, no Doan, no Semin, no Suter, no Parise. Engaging or considering trading within the division where he had no chance to make a deal happen. This offseason so far has been a resounding failure for Holland. Hes so far is basically standing pat, or regressing in areas of concern on this team (namely the top 6, Samuelsson is not better than Hudler, remember, his best season was playing with 2 players that had 200 points). Even if he manages a trade, the way things are going (based upon track record of trades over the last few seasons) he will have to overpay. Holland finally gets a chance to show he can roll with the punches and sustain the team, and he sits on his ass. And to all the slappies who defend Holland, ask yourselves 'How has this team actually improved since last season?' No baseless speculation of everyone overachieving, no unrealistic trades that you can't justify, and no saying 'this team hasn't played one game' because it played 87 games last season and regressed since then.

Dude had the heart to go after Bert... He may be an annoying little itch, but he's OUR annoying little itch.
