Texas Wingnut

Who cares about predictions!!!! They don't ask how, just how many!!!! Go Wings X 11 and hopefully more to come!!!

O.K. so Downey clears waivers and plays in GR. He's there if needed for a call up, but seriously if someone to "keep the flies off" were that important to Babs then Downey would still be in Detroit.

I must be dreaming. What a perfect scenario. Doesn't mean that the cup is coming back in '09 but makes it much easier. Also demonstrates to some of the players what management will do to win. Should be helpful in resigning Fil this year and next year's FAs, especially Hank, Mule and Huds. Way to go Kenny!!!!!!

Tampa might be filling the roster but these guys have to play as a team. Where's the chemistry gonna come from?? On paper Kolzig looks like a good signing but I doubt that he's the piece that will put the Lightning into the ECF let alone the SCF.

Over rated and now over paid. Good luck Caps, kiss your season goodbye.

Great job finishing the deal right before he officially became a UFA. Like the D pairings. Four full years of Stewie and Kronner together means lots of black and blue for other teams. Now to sign Filpula and another forward. Looking good for 08-09.

Don't think that Jags is a good fit on the current roster. Too much $$$$$ given what he might bring to the table.

Please not Detroit. He is a punk who is only still standing because of the instigator rule. He has talent but he runs his mouth so much that his talent is overshadowed by his words.

Good coach, potentially good team. Still don't think that he'll be the difference in the Sharks going to the SCF. I have no doubt that Babs and the rest of the brain trust will find just the right guy to step in.

This makes as much sense as Colorado retiring Raymond Borque's number. Dom's got more cups so it works. Yeah Right!!!

Get the best player available. Position, nationality don't matter. Can he play the game or not? That's what matters.

But is it plural in Swenglish????

I was hoping for a little longer. How does the length stack up with other coaches??

I wonder if his eyes were buggin out of the socket when he got the news??? LOL

I doubt that there will be any big names signed by the Wings over the next few years, at least not until Lids retires or the Wings need to get a new #1 goalie. I see Kenny looking for a solid 2nd/3rd line winger or possibly a #4 D-man depending on who resigns. Some of the guys in GR are ready to make the move to the big club and show that they deserve to stay on either the 2nd or 3rd line. While some of the young guys need consistent minutes, some need to show what they can do and then earn more ice time (Bab's MO for all players, not just the young ones).
