    Goalie for next year?

    President's trophy is overrated imo without a cup to put it in.

    The Red Wings are lazy and they sucktm
  4. With St Louis and Nashville hovering around the 8th spot it has me wondering if it's ever happened before.

    Wings "Boring" brand of Hockey?

    I dare say that scoring a ton of goals has been called boring and dull by many a board member here. (Or a couple that constantly bang the drum) but I digress... If the Devils or Wild were to score a ton of goals, the trap would still be boring for most to watch. Puck possession is a but a few rungs up the ladder from the trap unless it's your team doing it. Though, I certainly wouldn't turn off a Wings game because of it.

    3/7 GDT: Blue Jackets 8 at Red Wings 2

    That he does. Less OT losses, and a crapload of less goals allowed too. Still calling for a tandem.

    Conklin has more wins, more shutouts, better save %, and lower goals against average. That said a tandem would be best imo

    Getting sick of "Ovie's" goal celebration's

    AO shows this thing called passion and has fun at the NHL level. Fun, passion, and even villians are needed to make the game something other than a bunch of bots on the ice.

    I passed on it.

    Trade input

    I was offered Weber and Setoguchi for Rafalski and Pominville. Thoughts? Right now I'm leaning towards declining.

    New consipracy. Back-to-back games.

    iirc each owner supplies a list of dates that are bad for them to host a game. The league then puts those into a computer and it kicks out the schedule.

    Bettman Tried Three Times to Sell Coyotes

    College Hockey follows won't necessarily equate to fans putting down NHL type dollars. Though, the time and moderate success it would take to uild up a franchises following to Green Bay's level would require teams remain where they are for another deccade at least imo.

    Also, SLC couldn't support the AHL team they did have. It's now a ECHL franchise. Edit: Though I was kinda serious about my earlier San Juan post.

    And what type of cooperate sponsorship are you going to get out of Wisconsin? Look at the Devils... crap fanbase, but good sponsors.

    San Juan. You get 2 new mid-major cable networks to tap into to offset lower ticket prices. Largely untapped corperate sponsors available. NHL ready arena already. Easy place to lure players to.

    Red Wings TV Ratings Down 21%

    I blame the Digital TV conversion.

    Red Wings TV Ratings Down 21%

    Lack of advertising revenue due to poor ratings could result in higher ticket costs. Plus low ratings puts the ball in the TV stations court when it comes to negotiating contracts.

    Red Wings TV Ratings Down 21%

    The style of play Detroit has adopted is relative to watching the Devils trap. Different means to the same end, but dull 95% of the time none-the-less

    Wings Recall Abdelkader, Send Downey Down

    Yeah. If seeing what the kids can do is the goal, then why call up a known quantity (in Downey)?

    Wings Recall Abdelkader, Send Downey Down

    So... why wasn't Abdelkader called up in the first place to see what he could do?
