This idea might work if you gave the two top divisional teams in each conference a first round bye and allowed only 4 more teams from each conference in. If we used the current standings as they are now it's look like this: The East would look like this: Ottawa and Philly get first round byes because even though Philly has less points than Montreal, Philly is leading their division. Then by virtue of being the other division leader Carolina would be in it, followed by Montreal, Pittsburgh and New Jersey. For the West it would be Detroit and San Jose getting the first round byes. Then it would be the other division leader, Minnesota followed by Dallas, Calgary and the Quackers. Seed the division leader who didn't get the bye with the first seed and lesser points with each incremental seed.

Good to see Ericsson to hit triple digits on the radar gun with his shot!!! He will have many a powerplay goals in his career hopefully!

Offensively it's a near push, with Lafie getting the slight nod over Zetterberg, but defensively it goes to Zetterberg hands down. Zetterberg is an overal better player, not to mention Zetta doesn't act like a little b*tch and shoot pucks at players after a period ends, Alfie lacks the class Zetta has..

Can we stick tot he topic at hand? Let's say the Wings do get this Brunnstrom guy...what do the lines look like?

Basically the title, I've searched all over nhl.com for this, but what date, time and channel/station is the skills competition?

Thank you very much.

LOL Brilliant!

Well played, well played! But I was going more for the allure of his Swedish counterparts being a bigger draw than star status...but then again, with the Wings they are the same haha. Let's hope Holland does get this kid, put him on the second line: Sammy - Zets - Homer Brunner - Flip - Dats Cleary - The Franz - ... ... - ... - ... Subsitute "..." with anyone you like

What are the Bulin' and Cheli rumors?

Let's see, play with creepy Twinns on a team that in all actuality doesn't have a chance to win the Stanley Cup...or play with the best Swedish Defensmen in the league along with the best Swedish Forward in the league and a team destroying the NHL and on the verge of winning their 2nd Stanley Cup 6 years...

The announcers just said Dom is getting the start.

Favorites: 1.) Flip 2.) Dats 3.) Lids 4.) Zets 5.) Jakub Kindl/Jonathan Ericsson Least Favorite 5.) Hasek (I always expect him to let in weak goals night in and night out) 4.) Maltby (I just can't stand him anymore, he got a few lucky goals in the beginning of the season...) 3.) Lilja (Everyone says "Well if he has a brain fart this year in the playoffs then I'll disown him; Well I say, he IS going to f*ck something up in the playoffs, so we might as well rid him from the team so that won't happen and play a more defensively sound Quincy) 2.) See Below 1.) Sammy (All he does is shoot directly into the goalies chest...I mean, he doesn't even try to pick his spots, he is completely worthless! He sucks defensively, and on the PP he contributes nothing but a guaranteed blast to the chest, or a high and wide blister)

Not anymore! 3-2 Wings

Sweet redemption, one limp goal deserves another :-p

Weak Goal, lazy

Wow, you people need to learn to stay on topic, the OP definitely asked the Red Wings faithful if we believe the Wings could win ten straight given the next few teams we are playing. He didn't ask if it was relevant, he didn't ask about our recent playoff performances. It seems only Nephilim stayed on topic beside the first couple posters. With that said, I believe the Wings can easily make it 10 straight, they also could be able to win their next twelve after that! With the bulk of the games against the Blues and Wild, and although they do play the Avs a couple times along with Dallas, but i think they are a lucky 16-12. The only team i see as a threat is Chi-Town and I can see us losing to the Senators. Yes i know I'm being optimistic, but it is feasible!

Some of you guys are ridiculous, "Gabs had his head down and Dom knew it and took advantage of it and intended to injury him", give me a break, when Huds had his down after a pass and got destroyed by Phenny, we all knew Huds should have had his head up and really no one was callin' that a dirty hit. Gabs had his head down and should know his opponent. Goalies spend hours studying player's dekes, team's powerplays and so forth. Coaches study goalie tendency and some of the best players study goalie tendency. Player like Brett Hull who was as slow as a snail did it, Shanny did it too, it's the reason why they knew where to shoot it and not have to worry about being fast. If Gabs would do the same thing, like study goalie tendencies, he would have known to keep his head up. Same thing with hudler, he should know to keep his head up with Phenny out on the ice and knowing the score of the game as well. Some of you guys really need to study the game of hockey more and not just players and rules. In hoc

I have a feeling that this game will be close, they are a skilled team with fast forwards that will capitalize on our slower defensmen. Our PP should be able to capitalize. Wings 3 (Homer, Dats, Huds) All PP related TB: 3 (Vinny x 2, The Saint) Wings win in shoot out 2-1 (Dats-Huds, Saint)

Lang scored some timely playoff goals for us, what has Fleischman ever done that equals that?

Simply because no one else wants or needs him. That's why he'll clear waivers.

I'm fairly certain that isn't fully true, if his team for some strange and odd reason releases him from the team then they lose his rights and therefor has no CHL rights and can actually play in the AHL before he is 20, but not until he has at least become draft eligible of course.

2 Quick notes, Thortnon is a total ******, he is one of the biggest spazs when his team is losing and he turns into a goon; second thing, why in the world are they playing sweet home alabama in detroit?

That is an awesome Sig!

I've heard them pronounce it as Phil-pool-ah, Philp-oo-la, Phil-pull-ah

Now the Caveman knows what it's like to be a wide receiver going across the middle for a pass haha
