Howard is amazing for most of his career, has a bad stretch of games, and now people want his head. Unbelievable.

I will be at this one,before I head back to Louisiana on Tuesday

I might be in the that small party that doesn't want a trade at this point. I'm not saying this team is a bust and won't make playoffs but in terms of trade we don't have the cap room or pieces to make something happen that makes us a contender. Guys we want to trade Cleary, Quincey, bertuzzi, and franzen are not that highly desired by other teams. As far as the players with value to trade are our young prospects that have cheap contracts. You can't replace them with someone who makes more because of cap room and in the end a slight upgrade and more contract won't help anything when you still have those original 4 eating up cap and ice time. I rather just muscle through the season and try to pick up a key asset in the off season when cleary, Quincey, bertuzzi, Sammy are all off the books... Heck only 1 of them should be playing per night and they take about 2/3 players worth of roster. In the end there is no short term solution that makes us legit contenders this season but if we push through, bring up kids, and add the RIGHT pieces not the "panic" piece it will be a lot better situation for us long run.

Howard and Helm probable to return! Welcome back boys, getting healthier every game. Lines are strictly projected, won't be around before game time tomorrow to update so Wings current lines in the graphic are definitely not set in stone. Keep up the winning, get take this game guys. LETS GO WINGS!!

Trading Howard would be unwise and a safe way to take is us out of the elite team category.

wolverine helmets are awesome

I have friends that are actually trying to get Red Wings water bottles so they can send them to Clarkson.

Not only do the wings get beat up physically, they get beat up verbally The part with Bert and the bottle was funny. He was successful in getting under their skin.

trade Howard, Mule, Quincey, Kindl and a prospect in a blockbuster...what in return? Dunno...but if I am trading, those are the guys on my short list.

I think Santa at the Alfredssons' house may have been Homer. LOL~

Who was that? That was Datsyuk.

Att: 18,932. Uncle Gary, breathing a little easier today. Must have been all of the Wings fans there.

First of all, let me also extend a welcome handshake (or hug, if you prefer). Welcome to Red Wing Nation! As far as history, like someone said, it depends on how far you want to go back. Me, I go back a long way, but that's because I'm a lot older than most of the people on this board. There are some great DVD sets out there, including one that has three documentaries about the '97, '98 and '02 Cup runs, and 5 of the best games ever - May 16, 1996, which ends with a Steve Yzerman blast in double overtime; March 26,1997 - a date that lives in Red Wings legend; June 2, 1997, the last game against Philadelphia for the Cup; May 31, 2002 (I remember that game and laughed my ass off); and June 3, 2002, triple overtime in game 3 of the Finals (I remember it went on til 1AM). There is also a book called "What It Means to be a Red Wing". It's a very nice book with short essays written by players from the 50's until now, including Ted Lindsay, Red Kelly (and the more you dig, the more you'll find about those guys), and Ken Holland. The 90's section is quite good; Nick Lidstrom, Kris Draper, Chris Osgood, Tomas Holmstrom, Brendan Shanahan and Chris Chelios. It also has current players with Pavel and Henrik. It's a beautiful book. I remember the first time I saw it, I sat in the middle of the bookstore reading Pasha's essay. And he has autographed my copy. I hope I didn't scare you off with all this, but happy hunting!

Thirdeded. I want to watch it again and again again if for nothing else than to see Quincey embody his hockey ability by slipping on the ice after disembarking from the plane.

Did not want Phaneuf in the first place. So this comes as a "sigh" of relief. Good for the Leafs and Phanny

A lot of folks are still using conference standings as a way to gauge performance, unfortunately with the redesign of the divisions and playoff wild card criteria conference standings are now completely meaningless. Remember it is first 3 teams per division that make it plus 2 wild cards. Although the Wings are 5th in the conference, we are actually in 7th place because of the wild card. The Rangers are 5 points behind us with a game in hand... The only website that is doing a real good job of showing the wild card standings is NHL.com, : http://www.nhl.com/ice/standings.htm?season=20132014&type=WC Just wanted to bring this to everyones attention if you were not already aware of this.

It interferes with the goal horn too, not cool.

I've never been there, but my girlfriend has, and she said that the food there (not just one restaurant in particular, but everywhere she ate) was consistently some of the best food she's ever had. I don't know if she happened to get lucky and just happened to pick the 10 best restaurants in Montreal, or that they legit have amazing food, but if you go to yelp or something similar online and find what's nearby, I'm under the impression you won't be disappointed.

The Detroit Lions. Finding new and interesting ways to break their fans' hearts since 1958.

Or has he?

USA up 2 after 1 over the Czech's. Decent game so far. Missed Mantha's hat trick dammit.

If that's the Wings scoring that goal, I guarantee it gets waived off with "intent to blow." Or Holmstrom was too close to Smith. Somehow, Holmstrom would be involved.
