    Filppula/Datsyuk to play Saturday, Kronwall/Lilja Maybe

    I know, I feel the same way. The injuries cannot be an excuse, in fact nothing can be an excuse.

    Maltby's season over?

    I don't think Maltby would want to end his career this way. The way I see it, if he opts for surgery then he'll be back next year. Who knows though... This part is interesting.... Lilja possibly playing tomorrow! :beerbuddy:

    I hate shootouts

    The Wings are going miss the playoffs by 1 point, due to a shootout loss late in the season. Shootouts are bad for the game. They need to be eliminated. At the very the least they should have a 10 min OT. Ideally, you would just play until someone wins. 5 on 5. No ties. No shootout. 2 points for the win, and 0 for the loss. People might say that it is a problem because this could cause double OT games or something. Tough. They are pro-athletes. Do you want to win the game or not? Do you want 2 points or not? Eliminate the shootout. Eliminate the 3 point system. Eliminate Ties. Restore the game of hockey.
  4. I thought Helm was out at the beginning for a while? Franzen has been gone the whole season basically. I agree though, about injuries not being a factor anymore. Everyone needs more emotion.
  5. I wonder if we'll have one game this season where our complete roster is healthy.

    IF the Wings DON'T Make the Playoffs

    At this point, I don't think we can make the playoffs. It seems the same excuses have been given for a while now. No one wants to admit it, but I don't believe this is our year. It's like the players, coaches, the fans, even the media are afraid to admit the situation. The wings are cursed with injuries, and cannot keep leads. Hovering around 8-10th place all season, does not bode well. It seems everyone is having a career worse season, and that the team lacks emotion and focus. I predict we miss the playoffs by 1 point, due to a shoot out loss. Call me crazy or pessimistic, but after blowing a 3 goal lead against LA was the defining point for me.

    2/6 GDT: Red Wings 3 at Kings 4

    Flames won last night. We need to keep pace.

    Which club has the most grit?

    Brett Lebda

    Kovalchuk traded to New Jersey

    This means that he wants to play on a competitive team. If he was all about $ then there's absolutely no way you turn down that kind of deal.

    Kovalchuk traded to New Jersey

    Link Damn...

    Kovalchuk traded to New Jersey

    Kovy would be sweet. I'd offer Abdelkader, Leino, Lebda, Ericsson, and Kindl for him, but I don't think they'd bite. ATL would be getting 5 players that could immediately play on their squad, but no top 6 forwards or top 4 D like requested. Kovy-Datsyuk-Zetterberg Franzen-Fil-Bert Draper-Helm-Eaves Cleary-Miller-Williams Look at that depth! Though, from what I hear, LA is going to snag him up when they trade Frolov and Johnson.

    2/3 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Ducks 3

    I can't wait till Henrik Zetterberg gets back in the line up.

    2/3 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Ducks 3

    Wow, I actually thought Ozzy would get the start. Go Howie Go! Wings are gonna take this one, they didn't play the ducks well last time. Homer x2, Pav x2 - 4 Ferry, Selanne - 2

    Lilja sent to GR

    Good interview. It would be great to see him get in a game before the break.

    Do we really stand a chance?

    The Wings just need to get to the playoffs. Then anything can happen. No team wants to face the Wings in the post-season. The cup still goes through Detroit.

    Khan's take on who goes

    I think this is realistic.

    2/2 GDT: Red Wings 4 at Sharks 2

    Calgary is doing us big time favors, we need a W. We've played the Sharks well this season, but I think they will be more difficult this time. This could be a potential playoff match-up. Wings though take this one 4-2 (Pav x2, Lidstrom, Z with an empty)
  18. I like it. Something needs to be shaken up, and it's worth a shot.

    1/31 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Penguins 2 (SO)

    Oh for sure man, NBC (Nothing But Crosby) is going to glorify that. Pierre will be Crosbys lovedoll again. I'm hoping someone gets Kronwalled a la Havlat.

    1/31 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Penguins 2 (SO)

    If the wings can't get up for this one, then all faith is lost. I expect an emotional game. The last game against them will haunt me forever...

    New Arena Name?

    It won't be any of the above. If a new rink is going to be built then Illitch won't be paying for the rink himself. The city will have to pitch in. They will also need to have corporate sponsorship. Sorry guys, but if there is going to be a new rink then it's going to have a sponsored name. I have no idea what company would sponsor it though??? Also, if they do build a new rink (which I'm in favor of) then I hope it's built to be the best. The wings, and the fans, deserve a world class facility, and if the proposed building isn't guaranteed to be the best in the NHL, then I'd rather them stay at the Joe.
  22. People are saying weird things in this thread. We won't know about this until after the season. What happens this offseason depends on Lidstrom. He's already stated that he won't make up his mind regarding an extension until the season is over. So we won't make any big moves until then. We will be pretty quiet at the trade deadline...

    The Hawks at the Deadline

    Byfuglien, Versteeg, and Sharp for Kovalchuk? I could see this happening. This seems steep, but I think it's realistic. It would clear space for CHI, and Atlanta would get a King's Ransom. I don't think CHI wants to trade draft picks, but I donno. This will be cleared up soon...

    GDT - Nashville @ Colorado

    Av's PP strikes again... 2-0. Nice passing.
