If Conkblock will sign for less than a mil, I'd rather have him than J-Ho.

So Hossa>Huds, Filppula and Sammy combined? So after we do that you think we can get a proper 4th line? I want whatever you are smoking!

They showed a replay of the penalty in question....

Sloppy Seconds.

For as bad as the reffing sucked, they ate their whistles for the third and the OT, we have no one to blame but ourselves, and I honestly expected to lose game 3, because, we normally do lol. Game four will be ours and we should be able to put this away in five. Remember people, this is the WCF, not round one, it should take normally 6-7 game to close out this series. Be patient and optomistic and we should be just fine.

I know right! I don't know what is worse, giving up 6 goals at an away rink or giving up 4 at a home rink. (Not counting the EN as one given up by Ward.)

Wings never traded him...technically. He was put on waivers after we got Hasek and Islanders picked him up in the waiver draft. I thought Ozzie made the playoffs every year away from Detroit? He did decent away from Detroit.

Great first post! One suggestion, work on the grammer, I know a lot of people here don't care about it, but it makes long posts easier to read. But again, that was one of the best frist posts I have seen in a while, hope you stick around and become a mainstay here!

Nope, that would involve skaters. Goalies one on one with each other.

I think I went with the five trades closest to the trade dealine since there really weren't any deadline deals and I only mentioned the players that went the contending teams at that time.

Ah fair enough! Lilja has more regular season fights than both Kunitz and Comrie combined though

I was completely unaware that Jussi Jokenin, Mattheiu Schneider, Mike Comrie, Kunitz were fighters?

Well, since 2002: Hudler, Fleischmann, Howard, Abdelkader, Matthias have all seen NHL time and 3 of those have played in the post-season. The Red Wings have been doing very well in drafting second rounders. Not too mention: Hattrick Dick and Emmerton are well on their way to being impact players. I'll keep that second rounder and produce a top six player in the next few years instead of waste it on a fourth line goon.

Exactly, You give a 2nd rounder for an aging vet who can be slotted in the top six. Not for a guy who will be a 4th liner on the Red Wings and has a history of being not being loyal to his club. Plus, he fights with his visor on, at least koko takes his off like a real man, sorry, this guy is not of the Red Wing mold.

Sorry I stopped reading after this dandy. Remember that thing I said about condescending, doesn't fly with me. You might get away with it with teenagers, but not me. We're done trying to have an intellectual conversation.

You're suffering from Eastern conference syndrome right now. Offense isn't everything. It is equally important to keep your opponent off the score sheet as it is to be on it.

You make valid points, but your demeanor is so far off it's turning everyone against you. Learn to interact with people and more will get accomplished. We aren't the most knowledgeable fanbase because we bully other fan bases or are the most condescending, we are the best because we supply facts and put our bias at the door when it comes to looking at our players and team. Just some words of wisdom since I can see you're new here and seem to be lacking in the ability to interact with people in a productive manner.

He isn't scoring and that is a problem, but it's not a huge problem when you consider he is an even plus/minus. I'm pleased with the fact that even though he is not scoring, he is keeping the opponent off the score sheet.

Well yah...there are six defensemen and twelve forwards, of course we'd miss a D-Man over a forward.

How is it Lidstrom easily and not even close? He saved our bacon in game one against the Ducks, but after that he's played "just" aweseom, not super-fantabulously great liek Franzen has. Franzen is my choice with Ozzie at a close second and an even closer third to Cleary who has been dy-no-mite!

That was me =). Apple Fritters is my favorite, I think I remember hearing that the seniors on the MSU team, when he was a frosh, called him that.

He can't be any less effective than Datsyuk/Hossa

This.

So is there any way we can rid the Hawks of Toews for the remainder of the series and maybe put Byfuglien on a diet?

Sammy+Hudler+Filppula salary<"Spin-o-Rama" contract. Thank you Chicago for having turnover prone defensemen.
