Sigh...

The Russian power play will be quite something to watch. Kovalchuk-Gonchar-Malkin as the top of the umbrella ?-Afinogenov? Ovechkin-Markov-Datsyuk Semin-? Who should be in those question marks?

Booooooooooooooooooo!

It's weird watching a defenseman that isn't Lidstrom with the number 5 make a drop pass to someone coming with speed through the neutral zone. Looks like Kindl had an ok game so far.

Sometimes he just pretends to be like a staunch Pens fan type that hangs around LGW every now and again. When it comes to fun, to each their own I guess.

Any word on the lines yet?

Can't you all see what's happening here? Do you not understand that while we bicker amongst ourselves, Sauron's power grows?!?!?! I mean... Crosby.

Aftonbladet or Expressen or whoever wrote that article a week or so ago speculating those lines Finnish Wing had. Regardless I really think Mule and Alfie would work really well with Z. Sedin-Sedin-Weinhandl Franzen-Zetterberg-Alfredsson Forsberg-Backstrom-Eriksson Modin-Pahlsson-Hornqvist EDIT: Forsberg with Backstrom and Eriksson could be like the two kids and an old yeti line.

Well I know the Sedins will probably get the first PP shift but I hope Zetterberg gets the second shift.

Why are they speculating that Zetterberg will play on the third line?

Well what do you expect? Bettman plans to one day merge the NHL and the WWE.

If the policy below is still the rule: and if we consider each player's personal reasons, then it's quite possible that these Wings prospects could be in GR next year: Forwards: Tomas Tatar Jan Mursak Cory Emmerton Joakim Andersson** Francis Pare Brent Raedeke+ Willie Coetzee+ Stephen Johnston+"" Defensemen: Brendan Smith+^^ Brian Lashoff+ Logan Pyett Sergei Kolosov Travis Ehrhardt Sebastien Piche Goaltenders: Daniel Larsson Thomas McCollum +They would be an AHL rookie, but they may want to spend another year where they are now. -Kindl and Ritola will challenge for roster spots on the Wings. **The scouting staff loves Andersson and might want to bring him over from Sweden but he might want another year so he can play top-six minutes in the SEL. -As far as the other Swedish prospects go, Dick Axelsson, Anton Axelsson and Johan Ryno should stay in Sweden, although in the case of Dick Axelsson it's not because he isn't talented/good enough to play in GR. -Adam Almqvist and Jesper Samuelsson need major development time in the SEL ^^No one knows if Smith wants to finish school or not, but in regards to his hockey career itself, it's probably better for him to move on to the AHL. -Gustav Nyquist, Max Nicastro, Julien Cayer, Nick Jensen, Nick Oslund and Bryan Rufenach will likely be in school. -Ferraro, Nestrasil, Callahan and Fournier are too young. ""Johnston has to earn a contract first and the outlook of that is not so great. But I'm assuming he'll want to at least tryout. -Unforunately Evan McGrath and Jamie Tardif don't have much of a future with the Wings and their contracts expire after this year but if they want to they could definitely still play for GR next year.

Too young unfortunately if I'm not mistaken.

2 Penalty minutes 1 Giveaway 10:48 of TOI (Interesting... ) So Babs actually limited Jonny's ice time. What made him do this? I mean, it's obvious to us here on LGW but what changed so that Babs actually thought, "Hey, maybe I shouldn't play him as much."

Thank goodness the break is here for him. I hope he comes back a hockey player.

If they're going to trade Kronwall, then they'll probably target someone who is just as smart and less injury prone. But other than that I hope they don't. He is really important to the team.

Is tonight's game going to be archived?

It's sad how a win doesn't produce as much discussion as a loss. The advertisement companies on this site must love how the Wings are losing so much this year. If I was able to watch the game I would definitely post what I thought they did well. I hope many people here do soon.

Here's hoping.

At the end of the day, I actually don't like such public statements like these because Crosby will simply use this to play harder and better and then the fat cats upstairs will just want to promote him more. I'm thinking that theoretically if people just stop giving him attention (other than shutting him down on the ice) then there's a small chance that the annoyance that is Mr. Whiny Face will just go away.

Where DraperFan? Maybe that was DraperFan that submitted that article.

Well when I think of Forsberg, I always think of his talent and skill set. But we've seen many fans make those claims and call him Floppa. I'd just rather Sweden have someone else get that kind of publicity.

I didn't really have a point in mind. Just posting an article.
