Vancouver looks really good.

Whenever I have the option of French toast or pancakes I always choose French toast but I have to admit, this picture makes my roommate and I crave some late night IHOP right now. My friends and I were out at a bar and the topic of the buzzed conversation of the night was our favorite Xmen and which characters are like the Wings dmen corps. Respective to your lines right there, we came up with: Iron Man-Iceman Nightcrawler-Wolverine Gambit-Sunfire

I'd prefer he become a pair again and the Wings have a 1A and 1B like a couple years ago. If Ozzie wants to be the Wings leading goaltender in wins he'll probably have to get up to that level.

Not without a little somethin' somethin'...

So are you Pro Ozzie? That should be another one of those issues in your list.

Not bad. I was thinking Bertuzzi would be a good Lando. But then who would be Darth Vader? Cheli would be a decent fit. Maybe Ozzie?

What about Lando?

If you really want to use the depth then Hudler-Modano-Cleary looks a hell of a lot better than Bertuzzi-Modano-Cleary. When it comes to scoring lines Babs likes two skill guys to do most of the puckhandling and one guy to retrieve the puck, be big in front of the net and create space for the other two guys. In the former situation you have Modano and Hudler as the primary puckhandlers, which is a lot better than the latter situation. Bertuzzi really shouldn't be one of the two guys that gets to handle the puck because of certain tendencies of his like backhanded turnovers at the blue line.

Did blueadams get a new account? Anyhow, my preference for lines is not different from what many others want: Even Strength Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi Hudler-Modano-Cleary Abdelkader-Helm-Eaves Lidstrom-Rafalski Kronwall-Stuart Ericsson-Salei Howard-Osgood PP 1 Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Lidstrom-Rafalski PP 2 Hudler-Filppula-Franzen Kronwall-Modano PK 1 & 3 Helm-Eaves Lidstrom-Salei PK 2 Kronwall-Stuart Zetterberg-Cleary PK 4 Kronwall-Stuart Datsyuk-Filppula

Hopefully they'll be able to cheat more on faceoffs. The first guy can be as aggressive as they want because they know the second guy has an ok chance of winning it. Career FO stats: Pav (53.39)/Z (51.28) Fil (51.96)/Mule (48.97) Mike (around 50)/Bear (49.95) Helm (51.07)/Abby (46.59)

Well, in the playoffs. We had a lot of lazy and he sucks posts about him during the regular season.

Wow. I got grilled on here for trying to make a really safe prediction and saying that Hudler will get at least 50 points. A blogger on WIM doesn't even think he'll get to 45. At least 452 people disagree though.

It's whoever's winning the faceoffs, Babcock says.

f*** George Laraque.

Don't know about Zetterberg as the first line center. Datsyuk did a lot better on faceoffs last year from what I remember. But they'll probably play it by ear.

Mindfly?

He'll have to get used to playing wing. That is, if Helm is the 4th line center and Modano/Filppula is the 3rd line center. Doesn't sound like it should be too hard but I think Abby has played center his whole life.

Tell Ritola that he really has to suck at camp while the scouts watch if he wants to stay a Red Wing.

Whoa dude... What the hell happened there?

Hahaha... Like Cartman on South Park? Kinny!!!

RedWingsCentral.com forums. It might be the biggest joke of all Wings forums but I still check there every now and against to see if things get better or worse. Mostly worse over there though. Much of the time it's like crickets over there but whenever a topic is up for discussion it usually takes only one or two replies for it to go off-topic. I feel bad for UK because he's trying to rationalize that partying at a 36 year old friend's Mom's house is better than at an actual, albeit crappy, bar.

Dude got banned. Somewhat permanently from what I hear.

Ritola can go to GR technically.

I just want him to start the regular season and play a significant amount of games; finish the regular season on a good rhythm and have a good playoff. I've accepted that it's too much for him to play 82 games. Hell it's even too much to ask for what I outlined.

Yeah but I don't know if I see him as a reserve forward after last year. I would think he wants to advance his career right?
