    Justin Abdelkader

    Kopecky was leading the Wings forwards in hits when he was injured. Pretty good for a soft useless player

    Interesting expansion thoughts

    Nashville is protected by Bettman - if he gets rid of them, then he has to admit hockey in the mid-south has failed. I dont know what numbers in attendance that Atlanta has, same with Florida. Phoenix is bad as well. He has also said there wont be expansion anytime soon. (Bettman stated that when the guy in Las Vegas started chirping he wanted a team in Nevada) Teams merging and all of that stuff that Ev spewed - one way or another in that deal, there would be players losing jobs and the union wouldn't go for that. I agree that something needs to be done, I don't like the idea of the Wings and other teams having to fork over money to these teams that can't keep themselves afloat on their own.

    Question: Will the Wings sign a big name free agent?

    Jagr was entertaining offers from Russia, there was a report from Russia I think it was during the playoffs saying he would play there next season. Nothing official said here though.

    He wants somewhere in the 4 mill per range, more than hes worth.

    Jimmy Howard

    If they get Miller, he will be the starter, not Ozzie.

    Jimmy Howard

    Ellis had one good series, but he will pad his retirement fund with a fat contract thats for sure. I think Howards performance will make or break him, if he is not impressive in what time he gets, will determine if they pursue Ryan Miller after the season

    Chris Chelios Knee surgery? wtf?

    He didnt play that well at all, im happy for the guy that he came back and all that, but his skills have lessened. Abdelkader could play on the 4th line

    Quincey or Meech...

    Babcock said during the finals that Ericsson should be playing NOW. I hope nobody here assumes that Chelios will return, he was held out of the finals for a reason, and if Ledba and Lilja play over him................He has said he wants to return, but nothing from Holland since the Finals concluded that Ive read other than what Chelios himself has said in the paper.

    Parade Attendance? 1.4 MILLION?

    If you ask the people in Pittsburgh they think they should be Hockeytown. Whatever............

    Preds' Boots sued for fraud

    I dont see how much longer they can keep losing money as they have. Still didnt draw 14000 (13600 or so) even with their telethon with Eklund begging people to buy tickets. Sad situation there in Music City.

    Darren McCarty signing at Fan Zone in Westland Mall

    Kronwall gets 25.00 , Ericsson gets 8.00

    Parade Attendance? 1.4 MILLION?

    Im sure many of the people who were near Hockeytown Cafe didnt attempt to get near Hart Plaza and perhaps left the parade after the floats / trucks with the players had passed by.

    The Pens next year

    What do you expect, its a Wings board....Theres more of the same on every teams board.

    The Pens next year

    I read somewhere that the Rangers may offer Orpik a deal

    Major role in 08 cup = schneider and bertuzzi

    Predaturds vs Wings does not top the tradition the Wings and Hawks have. Not even close. Go to You Tube, look up the names Probert, Kocur and watch how many of their fights are against the Hawks. They used to be wars, and with the talent the Hawks are adding to their team, its on the way to being that again. They will pass the Predaturds next season in the standing, barring injuries to the Hawks.

    Major role in 08 cup = schneider and bertuzzi

    This is for another time and another thread, but the Hawks are wanting to be major players in free agency and perhaps pick up a name through trades. I think they will be our major competitor in the Central next season.

    Joe Vision

    I was at Cheli's Chili on Michigan Ave last night and It was packed with people and it was loud ! They also had a drawing after the 2nd and 3rd periods for merchandise.

    I'm Scared...

    The Pittsburgh Penguins Broadcasting Company admitted both of the Goalie Interference calls were bad....which was surprising to me because when the Pens do anything right, they go on and on and on....Wings score, its brief and then next subject.

    Chris Osgood

    Franzen botched up the clearing attempt.....I think he clears it we win. Not sure who it was, but there was someone out near center ice that could have at least put some pressure on the puck carrier if they were coming back towards the Wings zone. The Wings waited too long to start playing is what it boils down to....They have a first or second period like the third was, we're all hoisting our beers and buying stanley cup champ shirts.

    Marc-Andre Fleury

    Fleury did make some big saves for the Pens, yes for a period or so the Wings were back to their blasting long shots because they werent driving the net. Also take into consideration the fatigue factors and the amount of time he was in full gear on the ice, so even though I hate to admit it, he was very good when he needed to be. The Wings had him on the ropes in the third, and they had their chances to win.

    Interesting Tidbit About Darren McCarty's Return

    I would have never thought he made it back, guess I was wrong eh ?

    If we win game 5 - Celebrations in Downtown?

    I had some Penguin jerk talking smack while I typed that, figured it out after the bunghole left me alone. Joes doesnt really have a big TV to watch, but its definately a hockey bar. Was my first visit there.

    If we win game 5 - Celebrations in Downtown?

    Game 4 was in Pittsburgh, and Joe Vision wasnt a sellout, the sections behind the bench's and penalty boxes were the only areas that they were allowing to have people sit, wasnt bad though....... I went for the 1st period then the 2 guys with me wanted to hit Joes.

    If we win game 5 - Celebrations in Downtown?

    There was more talk about the future of Flip Saunders on WDFN than Wings talk.

    If we win game 5 - Celebrations in Downtown?

    I went to Cobo Joes during Game 4 and we counted 20 people in the house. CHeli's Chili on Michigan Ave was packed though. THere was a guy that had on red warmups and the white wings jersey, and the guy had a Superman cape around his neck, guy was running up and down the bar and eventually the street. There was a lady parked outside of the parking structure next to Cobo Joe's , that guy reached in the car and kissed her on the cheek LOL it was hilarious because she told him "IM GONNA PUT 5 CROSS YO LIP" HAHAHAA
