    Is Datsyuk "Superhuman"?

    Pavel plays the game the way a true Jedi would.

    Cap could go up by 2 million

    If he comes back, I just can't really see Lidstrom getting paid less than Rafalski. I just have this perception that because of politics or whatever that it's simply "wrong" for a guy like Lidstrom to not be the highest paid player at least in his position.

    Both of their planes get lost somewhere.

    Datsyuk may not even be human. He may be a member of a tribe of some life force in which only five or seven people exist in the whole capacity of life itself.

    All true. It's just that Nick would still be the best defenseman on the team if not the best player. When Stevie took his paycuts during the dying years of his career he was nowhere near being the best forward.

    Come on... Let's go Flyers! Pronger should have Philly utilize the same defensive strategy that Anaheim used on Detroit in last year's playoffs.

    The options for free agency aren't too appealing to me this year. Even though it's a more difficult process I'd rather they explore through trade for perhaps someone stuck a bad team that can really thrive with better linemates or whatever.

    Maybe they'll be able to get Colby Armstrong after all. Ritola and Abdelkader play really well together. Mostly because they've been like best friends for a while now.

    Cleary okay after surgery on left knee

    I was waiting for someone to capitalize on that.

    If you were Brian Burke

    Don't really understand how Sean Avery woos girls like that.

    Red Wings Sign Brendan Smith

    Also, Smith is a converted forward like Ericsson. He'll probably be able to play a bigger Meech-like role where he fills in at forward at times.

    Can't wait for this year's draft. It's always an exciting time no matter how good or bad the draft crop is.

    I feel pretty excited to see a lot of fresh new faces in GR and expect to see a more than fair amount of frustration at the same time as they struggle through growing pains.

    When it comes to fighting I think he's a guy who will only do it if absolutely necessary because he is a guy that coaches want on the ice and not in the box. That's what sucks about balancing that whole dimension. You want it to be a part of your game but you don't want to be taken out of the game. That's something we will definitely see Abdelkader struggle with this year.

    Him, Ferraro and Axelsson will be the 'hotshots' of the franchise players. Naw but I think it's okay to be a little cocky every now and again. I have no idea how bad it is for him.

    Apparently this kid used to think he was God's gift to hockey?

    I just re-met Nicklas Lidstrom tonight....

    Yep. He's always been like that. Even before he made a name for himself with the game of basketball.

    The Curse of Marian Hossa

    For his salary he should really score more points.

    He laughed and said, "We will see"? Not exactly sure how I feel about that but right now that doesn't make me feel particularly good.

    The Curse of Marian Hossa

    Don't exactly know why there's such a difference between the way he produces in the regular season and playoffs. Does he need to learn to play with more pressure / less space or what?
  23. He's got that 2nd line center position locked down.
  24. Not quite. Babs said he'll have every opportunity to prove that he can play in the top six. He can definitely play his way back to the 3rd line.
