Do you guys think Bryzgalov will get a shutout?

Bryzgalov looking like he'll get a shutout.

Man.... Bryzgalov looking unbeatable so far.

What? Did they actually say that?

I have a hard time respecting a city of an overwhelming majority of fans that blindly defend a rapist just because he's an athlete.

How much of a raise should guys like Helm, Eaves, Miller and Abdelkader actually get? Abdelkader has been in the minors for the past two years, which means he's only made a sliver of his 850K NHL contract. Shouldn't his new contract be around 700-800K? Leino for example had a contract of 875K and had some real promise after his first year. He ended up with a one-way 800K contract. I'm thinking Abdelkader will go through a similar negotiation. In regards to Helm, Eaves and Miller, they'll surely look for a raise from their 500K contracts. My thinking is that the number for those three shouldn't be all that different if not exactly the same for each player. So, what, 900K-1mil?

I'm not sure sure if I wish the Wings still had that line.

That's good! I just hope that whatever he learns will help him to compensate for when those two aren't back there for him anymore.

It's in here somewhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Iov6qA5BQ

PP 1 Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Lidstrom-Rafalski PP 2 Hudler-Filppula-Franzen Kronwall-Eaves? Babcock mentioned that Abdelkader will be on the PK next year from day one. I'm thinking maybe that frees up Eaves to spend time on the PP for the portion of his TOI that he spends on special teams: PK Forwards Helm-Miller Abdelkader-Cleary Helm-Miller Zetterberg-Filppula PK Defensemen Lidstrom-Stuart Kronwall-Lilja

Better and more FSN Highlights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Iov6qA5BQ Let's Go Wings!! Finish off the Coyotes!!

Nabokov, as spotty as his performances are, can still steal a game every now and again. Combine that with the way in which the Wings tend to make goaltenders look better than they really are and you have a tough match up.

Here's to the Red Wings having a good start in Game 6! :beerbuddy: :chug: :banana:

In today's world of sports, if a team has already won a championship is it really that much probable they won't win another simply because they don't have that desperate edge, 'eye of the tiger' kind of phenomenon?

What was it?

Nashville just stopped playing.

As much as I want them to lose, I have to say that Chicago's depth is quite something.

Funny pic aside I have a question for everyone: Who are some other players in the league that have a skill set comparable to Tomas Holmstrom's? He provides a net-front presence, makes awesome deflections and sometimes has an uncanny ability to anticipate where the puck will go after shots hit off people, which is part of what allows him to retrieve pucks so well. He doesn't just do those things on the power play but also 5-on-5. Franzen, for example, can play that role on the power play but he's more of a shooter when he plays 5-on-5. The only comparable names that come to mind are Ryan Smyth and Patric Hornqvist. Ryan Clowe plays the role but I've only seen him do it on the PP. On the Red Wings, Dan Cleary is probably the closest the Wings have to a Holmstrom replacement. But who else is there?

Hehe. http://babcocksdeathstare.com/2010-articles/april/a-list-of-defensemen-i-would-take-over-mike-green.html

Glitches and not so great audio but... FSN Highlights with Ken and Mickey!!!
