franzen was an absolute beast tonight

why is howard favored over larsson anyway? They have similar numbers in AHL, the difference is that larsson in his first AHL season while howard is on his 5th. It seems to me that larsson has had succes a lot earlier and younger. Time to give the kid atleast 1 game in the NHL.

stuart has really played like garbage lately, where did his playoff 08 form go?

yeah we need lils for the playoffs.

let's be serious, conks hasnt been much better.

Here are gustavsson's stats. It appears that Flyers and Avs are interested to sign him in the off-season. Avs fans in particular wants him. 50GP 93,14 SV% 1,96GAA (regular season) 7GP 98,80 SV% 0,33GAA (playoffs)

I just dont think dats can win hart because of all the monster seasons lidstrom had and never got hart.

how many players in their late 20s emerged as franzen has? Can you think of any other examples? (except for goalies) I am just so impressed with mule's game. The thing that surprises me most is that he can score highlight reel goals.

I <3 Franzen. He will be a monster in the playoffs again.

why is it that hfboards bash wings every day on the mainboard and always trying to downplay wings as a great team? Well I simply think it is wings is filled with euro players. Canadians on hfboards are incredible homers and take every oppurtunity to downplay any accomplishment by a swedish or russian player. I doubt wings would get as much hate with yzerman still playing. I blame Don Cherry for brainwashing an entire generation.

That this team is downright scary. EDIT: It should say: What does it say about the wings when they played like crap all season and still tied in points for number one. For some reason the thread header cut that part out. definitely not a troll thread. Sorry.

didnt flip get 3.5 million? that is a horrible deal in retrospect. Hollands worst deal.

youre right. What I meant was that Wings has played awful and yet theyre tied for #1 This team is dominant that is scary.

Lidstrom has definitely picked up the pace lately. Wings have 24 games left, and #5 needs to put up 19 points. Definitely doable with his current form. Imagine if he does it in his last game

Forwards Zetterberg/Backstrom/Franzen (wings + caps domination) Sedin/Sedin/Alfredsson (sedins + alfy) Huselius/Sundin/Holmstrom (mix of styles) Loui Eriksson/Berglund/Pahlsson (big and gritty) There is no clear 1 line, but four solid lines instead. Roll them all. Subs Brunnstrom/Omark/Murray Defensemen Lidstrom-Kronwall Edler-Enstrom Oduya(doing great in devils)- Ohlund Hedman Subs Jonsson/Stralman Very offensive D, I like it. Goaltenders Lundqvist/Ersberg/Markstrom Lets hope Lundqvist isnt injured. Top place projection: Top3 What do you think?

which player do weinhandl edge in your opinion. Remember, he isnt a grinder.

theyre not better then any nhler i listed, plus it is played on small ice.

Yes, osgood was lights out last season and a good playoff run. But what about now? Do you think osgood will play as good as last season?

of course it was refreshed because it seems that I was right with my doubts.

Can you read? This thread was made LAST summer.

So what if he doesnt pick up is game? Nothing points in that direction. Nothing. People blasted me when I did this thread but it seems that I was right. Give me credit instead.

well atleast I dont look like a jackass like the rest of you do in this thread. eat crow.

Bumping this now when reality has kicked in. It seems that my doubts were real after all.

bettman apparently bad mouthed lidstrom and dats in a CBC interview, has anyone seen it?

how can you even say that after lidstrom been 10 allstar games?
