    Brunner is a start, but.....

    Thanks for the video! I don't know a whole lot about this guy, but am excited to see what he can bring to our team. Roughly how far away is he from the NHL?

    1/22 GDT : Stars 2 at Red Wings 1

    I'm feeling pretty good about Brunner. He just needs to get that first goal...

    What a hit

    1/22 GDT : Stars 2 at Red Wings 1

    That first line is going to be very exciting to watch once all three get going together.

    Wow that's a long list of players not in uniform.

    1/19: Red Wings 0 at St. Louis Blues 6

    I'm starting to get my hopes up for a high draft pick (wait, do we have this years? I don't know to be honest). But then again, Kenny would just send whoever it is down to the minors.

    This is just too comical right now. At least try, thats all I ask for...

    I'm not going to put the blame only on the Wings here. Sure, they are playing very bad hockey, but the Blues are no longer a bad team either.

    Here comes out PK, hopefully this won't be as bad as everything else thats been out there so far.

    Kovalchuk says he may stay in KHL

    I wasn't around these boards back then, and am enjoying reading that thread. My favorite is one person's post talking about how Pavs is nowhere close to Selke territory. Oh how I am SO glad that everyone on this board (myself included) can just sit back and let the real experts (Holland and co.) make these sort of decisions.

    ESPN-KHL Deal in the Works?

    Could someone explain where exactly to find the games on ESPN3? I downloaded the app for iOS and logged into my comcast account, but I see nothing related to hockey there. I see many sports, but not hockey. I even sorted by upcoming events for all sports, and I don't see any KHL games at all, so maybe I am missing something here?
  12. I'm in the same boat as you, and pretty confused as to how this works to be honest. I've had some people tell me that all the emails are already sent and not to expect emails anymore and then I see what Matt and others say on here that they are scheduled releases. So I guess I wait patiently and see how it plays out.
  13. I haven't received an email either, nor has any of my buddies/relatives. I hope that they aren't done sending them out yet and that I still have a chance, as I would love to get my hands on two tickets.

    Red Wings Alumni Showdown Roster

    Do they show the alumni game on tv?

    What happens if the new CBA lowers the Cap?

    I've been wondering the same thing. My opinion is, I don't see the NHL forcing teams to get under the cap by trades or releases. Let's be honest, if the cap is at 72 mil and (and I'll use the Wings as an example here) we have the money to spend to the cap and do it, we're playing by the rules here. There is no reason we (or any other team) should get punished by having to get rid of their players. But then again, I realize that the cap is something teams should have thought about before getting autographs for the 13 year deals. So when I look at both sides, I guess I'm on the fence.

    Where do we go from here? Let's try a youth movement

    It's exciting thinking about giving the youth guys a shot and I'm one of those in the group that says lets do it. But on the other hand, part of me doesn't want to see the team miss the playoffs and do bad in general. I'm from the generation where I haven't seen the Wings miss the playoffs since I grew up watching hockey and I really, really don't want to see that streak end anytime soon.

    RFA Rules

    Found this when I did a google search, it also has a list of RFA's: http://aol.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2012-07-01/nhl-free-agency-list-rfa-compensation-rules Not worth offer sheeting anyone IMO. Any of the good names will get matched or cost a crazy amount of picks.

    Is Mike Babcock the issue?

    97.1 is funny. I absolutely hate listening to them, especially when it's hockey related, but sometimes I have to anyways just for the comedy. It's like when you can't stop sucking air through a painful tooth. But whats worse than them is the people who actually call in to talk about the Wings. 1 out of 15 people seem knowledgable, the other 14 maybe watch 5 games a season (max).

    The Next Move

    I fully expected fans to be calling for Kenny's head if he didn't sign these guys. Surprisingly, it's much (much) less than I expected to see. I don't know what else people really expected Holland and company to do? The contract offers were competitive, he flew out to meet and talk and up'ed his offer when he had to. In the end, it was family that made the difference. Not Holland not offering enough, not "Detroit's diamond losing it's shine", it was family. What was Holland supposed to do about their desire to play in their home town and be around their family? Based on Suter's comments, it's quite apparent that the decision was pretty much made days ago, when both Suter and Parise have been phoning/texting back and forth with Heately and asking if they can win.

    Ilitch, Chelios to fly to Suter, Holland to fly to Parise

    I do, I'll PM you a link with some pictures in a few.

    Ilitch, Chelios to fly to Suter, Holland to fly to Parise

    I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but at the same time I'm very confident that we'll be getting both of these great players today. I'm confident enough to where I have a buddy ready to make me their jerseys as soon as they are signed and will have them by tomorrow night. I'll be bummed for a day or two if we don't get both, but obviously not putting any blame towards the Wings brass.

    2012 NHL Entry Draft Discussion

    I was listening to channel 7 news about 20 minutes ago and they said that the Wings and Hudler are not coming to a contact and he will be talking to other teams on the 1st. I'm trying to find a link, I was hoping that their website would have it, but they don't. I'll keep looking. If anyone else was watching, maybe they can confirm that they heard this as well.

    Winter Classic Prices Announced

    So for those who have season tickets, will they have 100% chance to get tickets for the WC? My buddy and I are considering purchasing the 20-ticket package just for these tickets, but we're afraid that even if we do that we may not get to buy WC tickets.

    Winter Classic Prices Announced

    I'm happy with those ticket prices. I was expecting 2-3 times that price. Now if only I can be lucky enough to get my hands on a pair.
