    Playoffs predictions?

    I would love nothing more than to see my Wings go all they way, but I have a feeling we won't make it out of the 2nd round. But then I have this theory that needs to be tested and if it's right then I can see us making it to the Finals, if that makes any sense. But then it also depends on health. We got the talent, we just need the luck.

    Here's to Red Wings 2010

    I like this thread. With the coming of the new year there will also be players returning, games being won, and points being accumulated. We didn't make it through unscathed, but we did make it through. If we can get through 09 we can get through '10. I agree with the even year trend, and I'm calling it now; Go Wings!!!

    Top 25 franchises of the 2000's

    Do they have to remind us? Well, we're the highest hockey team with the 2nd being no where near.

    TSN's Top 10 NHL Plays of the Decade

    This goal was SO amazing!! I remember when VS was going the "I am..." for their playoff promo, for the Wings they had this goal with the voice over "I am the top seed, and proving it." I thought it was so cool.

    TSN's Top 10 NHL Plays of the Decade

    I love that vid if Nick. That just shows you how aware he is and how he's such a fricking pro. I don't see hoiw the aforementioned Franzen goal didn't make it and neither did this. And you know, Dom's poke Czech on Gaborik didn't make it either. Anyway, this goal, he's in the air when he shoots the puck. Not fall and then shoot, not shoot and then fall. Shooting while falling. That man is a beast!

    TSN's Top 10 NHL Plays of the Decade

    That list was pretty lame IMO. How can you have that stupid Ovechkin goal at #3 but not have the Franzen superman goal on there at all. And Nash's goal shouldn't have been that high on the list. Maybe I'm biased though.

    If only everyone played like Helm

    I was thinking that last night, he always seems to play hard. My favorite was his penalty kill in the playoffs last year. He made that PP his *****. He's great defensively and can score some clutch goals. I can't wait til he gets more ice time and more experience. He's pretty much a beast.

    Team Slovakia Named

    Wow, they must not have had a lot to choose from if Kopy made the team. That's cool that both Marian and Marcel are playing together. Don't see much of Marcel Hossa these days.

    Samuelsson blasts Sweden

    Yeah I was gonna say that. "Scored the only 2 goals in a 2-0 victory against the Sharks to eliminate them in 6 in the 07 playoffs". But I didn't think anyone would remember that really.

    Samuelsson blasts Sweden

    Everyone talks about how bad he is, but he really is clutch, especially in the playoffs. OT winner against Chicago last year, first two goals in the 08 Final, not bad. I really liked him with Detroit and I would have loved to see him play for Sweden. I like that he spoke his mind, but in this case, not a good idea.

    The Positivity of all the injuries *right now*

    I don't doubt their hunger, I'm just saying there's only so much conditioning they can do on/off ice depending on their injuries. Even their practices aren't as intense as an actual game. I just think it'll take a few games until they start playing at the caliber they were before they got hurt.

    The Positivity of all the injuries *right now*

    Are you always so optimistic? I think there are a few upsides...like 2. Experience for young guys as well as the injured players will be well rested. But the down side of them being well rested is they'll be poorly conditioned. IDK you could go either way with these injuries.

    Best of the call-ups?

    I've actually liked what I've seen from Janik if Abby counts as a call up then I say him too. Did anyone else think Ritola looked a little lost out there tonight?

    I Can't Believe Wings Fans Are Booing Hossa

    OK, well if you don't like "noble" then let me rephrase, he did the "unselfish" thing and took less money. To me that shows character, that he's not a greedy money-hungry guy and that he actually cares about playing for a good team and winning the Cup. He seems like a good man(of course I don't know him personally) and good men shouldn't get booed IMHO.

    I Can't Believe Wings Fans Are Booing Hossa

    Yes, they never fail to disappoint me. I only expect slightly more from Wings fans. How naive of me.

    I Can't Believe Wings Fans Are Booing Hossa

    So? They boo they guy who gave a valiant effort while with the Wings, but not the guy who beat up an old man over 20 cents. It's sad.

    I Can't Believe Wings Fans Are Booing Hossa

    It's disgusting. I'm not surprised though, Wings fans are spoiled and ungrateful. 1. The man gives his best in the post season despite being injured. His best isn't good enough for the fans. They boo him. 2. He does the noble thing and takes less money to play ONE YEAR in Detroit because he believes the Wings have the best chance (yes fans, that's a complement, implying the Wings are the best team out there). They boo him. 3. He goes to Chicago because they have a good chance too, and offer him job security when the Wings couldn't really do that with the cap. They boo him. It's really sad and it disgusts me that I share the title of "Wings fan" with those whiny brats.

    Its become abundantly clear

    Aw, you guys are so mean. Poor OP. Yeah, it's apparent we're doing poorly because of injuries. And duh, we're not gonna suddenly get better when one or two players come back. Like the saying goes, "Adversity produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." Some people are hopeful and why not? We've all seen what this team can do in a tight spot, and it's nothing short of amazing.

    Dallas Drake to be at Saginaw Spirit game

    I just got accepted at Saginaw Valley. Maybe Dally will make going to Spirit games a regular occurrence? Most likely not, but maybe.

    Mickey Redmond appreciation thread.

    Mickey is amazing he can say pretty much anything random and no one will say anything. "They're getting so liberal with these calls they're practically in the socialist party" He's like Hockeytown's crazy grandpa. I don't mind him calling out the refs because he's pretty much always right, but sometimes talking about the old wood sticks can get slightly annoying. Other than that he's great.

    Larionov Daughters' Music Video

    I was wondering if someone was gonna post this. I think it's kinda cute. I love how like half our roster is in there. My favorite part latter end of 2:38-2:40.

    Is It Just Me Or.....

    OMG I was just joking with my brother about that!! Right near the end of the game they showed Hank, cut to Leino, then cut to Eaves and I'm like "Is it me or is this team full of guys with long dark hair and nice beards?!" Glad I'm not the only one who thought so, but I think Leino looks more like Hank than Eaves does.
