Its pre-season, and they got Sweden on their mind! They'll be fine

I really do like Osgood, but considering his regular season last year, and the from what I've seen this pre-season, he needs to be taken out of that Wing's jersey. With him & Howard this year, it looks like it's going to be a rough regular season.

I hate hearing Detroit failed to clear it out (on the PK), brings back bad memories.

My apologies then. It sounded like you were trying to give me a tough time for passing on something I was told. Which most people here normally do.

Dude, don't ask me where he fits because I can't answer that, I'm on board with everyone else who doesn't want him here. You're asking me questions as if I'm trying to make a case for him being here, and no, I'm definitely not. Who told me about this rumor? A buddy of mine who works for the store that stitches the Wings player's jerseys.

I was told the same thing about 2 days ago. Heard it's pretty much a done deal, but wasn't going to post because 1. I was told not to, and 2. everyone wants links, which I don't have.

If they do end up finding this to be an 'illegal' contract, is that all that happens is fines + loss of draft picks? I'd assume that they'd void Hossa's current contract along with that, forcing them to either re-negotiate or other teams able to offer him contract. Anyone know the answer to that?

So I'm having a hockey discussion with one of my buddies about Filp's play during this past post season. His argument was that Hudler deserves more money then Val, because he was a no-show throughout this past post season. Whether he does deserve more or not, that's no longer the point. I gave him my unprofessional opinion that Val was one of the Wing's best player this post season (minus the finals of course), and his argument is "how many goals did he score". Now I don't know about other hockey fans, but to me it's not all about goal scoring. According to him, everyone he works with (which is a field of work hockey related) agrees with him that Val sucked in the playoffs. So with that said, I'm curious to see what LGW posters opinions are on Val's post season play this year.

This is working for me: http://www.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?catid=6...vidchn-livewire Didn't have to pay a dime.

Duchene seems like a great kid, I could see myself being a fan, despite being an Av now.

Why do people keep repeating this? Like xtrememachine1 and a few others have said (in this thread!), the 4 million is the cap hit, not his actual salary. Just because he'd have a cap hit of 4 million dollars doesn't mean he's being insulted by the Red Wings, as he'll still be making what he is looking to earn (salary wise).

What a small world. I know that clerk you're talking about. Very reliable source indeed.

I was wondering the same thing. Also, any parking tips in the area would help. Possible to park somewhere else and take people mover? Not sure how close that is to Hockeytown Cafe though.

Omg Cleary, my heart was in my stomach

Another PP, lets make this one count.

Woohoo!!!!!!

I don't know if this link was already posted in the previous 9 pages, as I haven't had the chance to skim it yet, but I wanted to look into what I heard on the radio, and this is what I found: http://www.freep.com/article/20090608/SPORTS05/90608088

I was just listening to the radio(97.1) on my drive home, and they were discussing this same situation. Apparently, it's Bettman that won't allow NBC or CBC to give the rights for Joe vision & Mellon vision. How accurate is the radio station with this information, that I don't know. Just thought I'd share what I heard.

Yeah I just read that after I made the post, that's a huge bummer.
