Z and D for the C

Trade for............Getzlaf. Getzlaf (5.325m) - Datsyuk (6.700m) - Filppula (3.000m) () Franzen (3.954) - Zetterberg (6.083m) - Cleary (2.800m) Hudler (2.875m) - Helm (.900m) - Bertuzzi (1.500m) Abdelkader (.850m) - UFA (~1.0m) - Eaves (.850m) Draper (1.583m) Lidstrom (3.954m) - Stuart (3.750m) Kronwall (3.000m) - Volchenkov (3.250m) Ericsson (.900m) - UFA (~1.0m) Forwards: 37.420m Backwards: 15.854m Total: 53.274m And GMR gets his deadline space. And we could probably actually move Helm down to the fourth line and with the space we have buy an even better third line center.

I've always liked and respected the Sharks and I still do. They're a skilled, big, fast team and we were simply outclassed by them this year. I'll be rooting for the Sharks to win the Cup, who else will be?

He can always waive it. And I don't mean whoever as in a bag of pucks, I just don't know who we'd make a trade for. Just a big name we can put in the top 6. We need new blood.

I didn't notice anyone carry the puck for more than 3 feet without losing it.

If Lidstrom stays, I hope we trade him. I've always (well, not always, but sometimes) came to the defense of Rafalski, but f*** him. Ship him and Hudler off for whoever.

Assholes? The Sharks were the better team. We got beat in every. *******. aspect of the game.

f*** you Rafalski.

No...the Red Wings will lament the fact that rafalski is a ******* douchebag.

Rafalski you ******* *******...

Same. But I think they'll pull it off.

Wings are looking good the past few minutes.

The Wings are winning this game.

Sharks. Nabakov and Setoguci are divers, but I like their team for the most part and I think they deserve it. If not them, then the Bruins.

Can we vote on removing blueadams' thread creating privileges?

I think the NHL picked a very good advertising slogan. history is definitely being made. Both Franzen's record and us coming back.

f***. The. Sharks.

FRANZEN IS A ******* BEAST

f*** YOU SHARKS

Someone new for our top 6. Marleau/Plekanec/Afinogenov/Lombardi/Stempniak

I have full faith in the Wings coming back. I wouldn't bet on it, but I think the wings can do it.

Except our chances.

Babcock said it perfectly last night. "Sometimes your goalie picks you up a lot and sometimes you have to pick him up, this was one of those nights." Howard had a bad game. Still, he has shown the ability to make great saves and keep the team in the game and he still brings our best opportunity to win. Neither of the first two losses were on him so it's foolish to throw Osgood in for no reason. All of us may have given up hope, but the team hasn't.

You realize if it's either Filppula or Hudler who has to go on the third line, it's going to be Hudler, right? You realize Filppula and Hudler had the exact same scoring rate at even strength in 0809, right? Just Yes/No questions.

I don't envision Hudler making a difference in a series like this. Much like he didn't in the second half of the playoffs last year.

Agreed 100%. He is a rookie in his first playoffs. I look forward to another great year from Howard next season.
