    Wings RBK Jersey from China

    hey guys! Just a couple questions about "Jack" I'm going to buy him some jerseys but before i wanted to ask you how much did you pay? 45dollars if you buy many? Plus i m a little worried about possible customs taxes for chinese textile. Like it s written in my name, i live in switzerland. Is there someone who bought these jerseys from europe? Did you get taxes? And you in USA? Thanks for your help!! AND GO WINGS TO WIN BACK TO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Is anyone else underwhelmed by Leino?

    He s not gonna get stucked in AHL again next year that s for sure: it s either NHL or Europe

    You wake up tomorrow as Ken Holland.

    Same opinion here, but not sure if he will be available at the 30th spot! may be we should trading up to grab him for sure, and as much as i would like the wings trade up considering our logjam in D and our cap problems, i don t see it happening: KH is very conservative about that: has he already traded up? i don t think so...

    You wake up tomorrow as Ken Holland.

    I think the idea of trading up is right. Nonetheless it looks like a lot of team have this idea this year. Anyway i would grab rajala at the 30th spot and package Hudler and Lilja for a good draft pick.

    Stanley Cup Finals schedule

    tomorrow? impossible but i agree in your assesment about the NHL

    Would it be better if the Wings lost Game 5?

    With Ericcson out do you really want to go with a Cheli-Meech against the Pens? the answer should obviously be no now, because yes we can advance on the final today but will be eaten alive on saturday and sunday if all our injured players do not come back Draper- out Ericson-out Lidstrom-out Datsuyk-out Rafalski- still may be suffer from his injury

    Would it be better if the Wings lost Game 5?

    I'm definitively with you on this one. I don t see us winning the pens without Dats and Lids People we are not saying it would be better than the wings will loose, but the scenario of a win 4-2 over the Hawks with rest and the opportunity to have back Lids and Dats while the pens will get rusty seems to me definitively better than to play the pens to a back to back game saturday against a red hot pens team witout 2 of our stars

    ECF Game #4 GDT

    The fact is, we even shouldn't think what is good for NHL or not: We re talking about a sport and so far i remember, what is good for sport is that there is a fair competition and that the best win! It s the problem with such guy as Bettman who see the business everywhere, stating it s good to have the pens deep in playoff and such matchup like AO-Crosby: guys! it s a sport and we canno't choose the outcomes, or we^(the league) shouldn t ; so it s really stupid to state what is good or not. About the date's change, clearly it shouldn t be allowed to change the terms of a competition when this one is not over. I actually can t understand why the NHL wasn't able to forecast all the possibilities and to make a calendar regarding the results: what is actually done is switzerland...

    WCF GAME 5: Blackhawks 1 at Red Wings 2 (OT)

    What s unbelievable is that it look like the Wings will have more rest by losing this one and winning the next one!!!! This would also cool down the red hot pens!

    What the?

    You know it s only a replica given to the players.... so i don t there is so much worth, especially for people qho are not McCarty's fans
  13. swiss_fan

    What the?

    I think you're right: more probable that s it s the authentic one sadly.... May be a dark part of Darren's previous life coming on the surface again. How much was it sold?

    Quietly the Playoff King

    it s quite boring that your stupid claims prevent some of us of having an interesting discussion.

    Quietly the Playoff King

    I also think Nick has been our MVP so far. Franzen deserve a mention also. While Osgood has been good is it really possible to say that he has been the best goalie so far in these playoff like we can state it with nick's play? i don t think so.. Ward has been better IMO And by the way! you guys are forgetting a big thing. Even if we win the cup, the Conn smythe won t obligatory come to a red wing player. I say that, cuz i see the leage giving the Conn Smythe so far to Crosby (with 12 goals so far, and need 6 to set a new record),if the pens are making the final and he continues his pace even if the pens loose it.

    are wings developing their prospects too slowly?

    Steve Stamkos will be brilliant. He had a slow start cuz mainly of his coach and very very few ice time; but i saw him at the world championship here in switzerland and he was great The red wings organization care about fair; otherwise we would probably see not a lot of Maltby again, especially next year. And you say you don t care; like i ve stated, if he go away this summer it will be painful

    are wings developing their prospects too slowly?

    I would say a bit yes. Particulary i m a bit concerned about Leino. This guy is a pearl and it would be a real loss if he goes through free agency. I thought it was not so fair we played Abdelkader before him, bu i totally understand why. By the way, it seems to me that no one really know the status of Leino: he is really a RFA? if yes, we don t risk so much to loose him. If he s a RFA, we definitively should have played him more to give him the envy to stay.

    does anyone else think that the Pens look impressive.. ? would be nice to re-match with them

    Thoughts about the draft

    In fact i had also this idea that this could be Holland's plan! Glad to see someone else thinking it s possible
  24. swiss_fan

    Thoughts about the draft

    Yeah Peter Holland could be really interesting, but like i ve pointed out would it be really smart to draft a high potential center with Z and Dats here for long long time?It s a question not a statement. Couldn't Flip and Huds be worth a top 10 pick?
