Ok seriously, Team Lidstrom is now crazy with awesome centers... DUCHENE!!!

Staal has to keep the local Carolina fans happy. This whole weekend is about selling the game.

Kane is a ******... Ugh... Get him off that stage away from our Lidstrom...

Seriously though. Down the middle Team Lidstrom looks ridiculous. Stamkos H. Sedin Kopitar Toews/Richards

Team Lidstrom has to have the best collection of defensemen and centers.

WHOOO!!!!! KOPITARRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Crap Team Staal really is Team Douchebag.... f*** Perry...

HavSPLAT!!!!!

Hmm... Burns?

Oooh Yandle... Not bad.

Alright, Damn it, Nick... Pick Kopitar!!!

Not until like the last few minutes, haha. But still, those are some good offensive dmen and centers.

Let's think about this from a Red Wings perspective. D-men are most important Next are centers And perhaps a tie between wingers and goaltenders Therefore, you got: A. Lidstrom, Keith, Weber B. Stamkos, Sedin, Toews That's a really good start, imo, if that's how they're thinking.

Whoa... Kopitar hasn't been picked yet. Go Nick Go!!!!

If you can't get both of the Sedins then which one do you pick? I guess it depends on need but my answer by default is Henrik.

I'd go for Stamkos with the first pick. Be sure to update the OP as soon as the draft is over.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Modano-Bertuzzi Cleary-Filppula-Hudler ...Is one way to perhaps keep the Euro Twins together and the lite Euro Twins together.

He's really played well with Filppula. I wish there was a way to keep the two together when everybody comes back. Everybody likes to propose a line of Franzen-Filppula-Hudler but it seems as if Babs doesn't like that idea and I don't blame him. Nobody willing to play at the net. In 5 on 5 situations, Franzen shouldn't be stuck in front of the net. They need him to be a threat in the slot.

This doesn't count? http://video.redwings.nhl.com/videocenter/console?hlp=8470047&event=DET100

I think Wings fans are a little mixed up as to how much production we should expect from Filppula. Kenny said that he thinks Filppula CAN, as in, has the potential, to provide 70 points as a 2nd line center. Should he? As in, do they need him to? When you have guys like Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Franzen? Not... really. Kenny threw out that number while the media and fans ran with it big time but I don't think that's exactly what he along with the rest of the organization expect from Filppula. Numbers wise, he's probably doing fine in their eyes. As far as the story you told... Good stuff, haha. I don't know what else to say about that. Well, Fil knows that he SHOULD score more. In other words, the team needs him to provide secondary scoring. He doesn't quite know that he COULD score more. As in, he doesn't quite fully believe or have enough confidence in his ability to execute and put up points. At least not yet.

Most of us know or can easily deduce that nobody is more aware of Filppula's shooting history than he is, which is why he opts to pass so much. In fact, he's way too aware of it. When he's confident he actually has a good shot. It's easier said than done but I think we'd all wish that he would just forget about the shots he took that didn't work out so well.

Not sure... Here's the quote though:

Actually it's widely known that he will move back to Sweden once he retires. But perhaps he can be a scout and find the next version of himself.

And boom goes the dynamite...

It is. Still... I'm with him in that I'm just glad he didn't miss the net. Less ammo for the Anti-Fil crew. Wow 55. That'd be great. But did you just estimate that in your head? #points / #games = PPG 30 / 46 = 0.65 PPG ------------------ X / 79 = 0.65 X = 51.35 http://forecaster.canada.com/faceoff/hockey/player.cgi?3074
