I must be seeing a different game. The Wings have been on their game for the most part. I, for one, am glad the Wings are getting their mojo back and playing more like they did last year.

Osgood/Conklin same as last years Hasek/Osgood
VM1138 replied to Greatness=PavelDatsyuk's topic in General
I agree, we're in a much better position goaltending-wise. Our defense was terrible early on thsi season. Osgood has only let in a few goals that he should have stopped. Other than that he's been outstanding as usual, making huge saves. As long as Conklin and Ozzie get along, competition between them can only help. -
Ozzie and Conklin are a great team. As long as they get along and have no drama, the Wings will only benefit by having two solid goalies to fill in in the clutch. The best defense against any team is an amazing goalie tandem. Being able to switch it up and throw the oppositions strategy into flux is invaluable.

They hardly covered hockey when they DID have it. It's considered some obscure sport meant to headline one of their ESPN # networks and won't merit much more attention than it already has. It'll still be all baseball and football during their offseasons even.
-
We ask this every year. We will stay dominant for many years to come. Who knows if we'll win, but it's not our last chance by far. We seem to have a pretty seamless transition coming in for the guys retiring and the guys coming in, talentwise.

Theoretically going back to ESPN would be good for the league. But in reality, when it's hardly marketed and buried like it was in the old days, or buried on ESPN 13 that's not much of an improvement, is it?

Does anyone own one of these? http://www.ocregisterfanshop.com/Detroit-C...5401558_PD.html I'm just curious how they fit/feel. Being RBK I'm a little uneasy, and that picture makes it look a little....well...pinched in the middle. I'd really like to get ahold of one, but not if it's crappy material or feels uncomfortable.
-
Not to mention that AO's PR is so much better. Reading stories about him are entertaining because he's a funny, good natured guy, like a frat member Datsyuk. Crosby is just irritating as hell.
-
The Ducks have talent but: a) Don't know how to develop and use that talent. b) Rely too much on physicality over anything else. They were flukes, just like Carolina and TB.
-
I like Hudler, but he's not better than Franzen. Someone else pointed out that he never performs on higher lines. He thrives with less playing time and having weaker opponents to play against. When he's been put on the 2nd line, his offensive skills dry up for the most part. I say leave him where he is extremely effective.
-
Awesome, thanks!
-
That fight really sucked...Lilja looked like a scared little kid.
-
The color looks bad, too. I know it's supposed to be "vintage" but that doesn't mean it has to look sweated-in.
-
It's way too early to talk about any of this. We probably won't keep Hossa, but no one expect us to keep Stuart, either.
-
But only the hardiest few make an entire career out of whining, as Sid the Kid has.
-
Yeah, Lids is modest for an athlete. Most others have rotating living rooms, a row of six refrigerators all stacked with energy drinks, a seventeen car garage, seven miles of closet-space, indoor ice rinks, etc.
-
Ovie can run Malkin all he wants. That's what happens when you earn respect instead of get it handed to you by the league. You can get away with stuff like that. Nobody likes a little whiner.
-
Headhunting is horrible. But as usual, they will have their Prongers to defend at any cost. If they had punished half as much as they should have over the years, Pronger would be in prison.
-
What's with all the stupid jersey's in sports these days? Does EVERYONE hire stupid designers who watched too much anime?
-
Everyone did, really. He has stepped it up, but I think everyone has as well. Last night was the first time this season I saw the Wings from last year.
-
No goal, I agree with it unfortunately.
-
Murphy is improving a bit. He's not great but I can tolerate him now. I vote for Cheli to take up a commentary job. I could easily see him becomign the next Mick.
-
The tag-line for the voting is "Vote now, vote often." Therefore, any voting shenanigans is to be expected and allowed.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if he left, btu that "package deal" thing only proves the "source" is a moron.
-
Franzen is among the elite. The guy is a guaranteed goal scorer and a force to be reckoned with. Maybe not top 20 (as someone said, each team probably has at least one amazing player), but he's damn close.
