its calgary. he fits their gritty style perfectly and will work well on a 2nd or 3rd line with all their grinders.

1. 1980 US hockey team

i have a feeling they'll start him in the big leagues and then move him down if need be. he wouldnt have left MSU a year early for the minors...he probably has some kind of agreement with holland cause theres no way he leaves college a year for the minor leagues.

does this mean ryan miller will become the goalie of the future for the wings? there was bigtime talk about him signing with detroit once his contract is up with the sabres. give ozzie a few more good years and then bring miller in??

Local 4 just said he came into the locker room and was drinking Gatorade and ONLY Gatorade...what a classy guy and a fantastic story in the 2008 playoffs. I hope he sticks around for at least one more year. I'm glad he can prove to the world that he's a healthy guy.

bob cole will be replaced by jim houghson for next years cup finals...

1977 & 1978 --- Bruins (Don Cherry) vs Canadians (Scotty Bowman) last teams to play a rematch the following year

between Dmac, ozzie, helm, franzen, and drake....what a huge mag this will be!

the 2002 red wings has to be at the top. 10th has to be the 2004 lightning..yuck 2-8 can be scrambled in wherever glad the cup is back in the cold for the first time since 2003..

lets enjoy this one for a little bit. think of next season, next season. and i doubt the same two teams will make it back in straight years...anybody know who was the last 2 teams to do that??

just think of the reaction at the Joe if they had won it here...he was a target before the octopi scandal..now he's basically a deadman if he ever comes near JLA

Even after his playing days..did you see when he took the mic from the reporter and started interviewing Ozzie?? He did a better job then anyone i saw all night!! ...a Mickey Redmond in the making??

Of course he has to say that...they won a game at the Joe and i'll give them props for that, but the Wings dominated this series in every which way...

i love chelli and im glad he got to hoist the cup once more..anybody notice how long he had the cup? i sorta thought he was relishing the moment one last time. I love the guy but i think training camp will bring out the truth in his future...sad to say... His kid is NOT that good anyways..he'll take at least 4-5 years if he even can make it to the NHL...

Can't say enough about most Pittsburgh fans. For the most part, you guys showed pride in your team and the sport. Congrats to the fans and the players and we'll look forward to future matchups!

I think we all can agree that this will NOT be the last time that the Wings and Pens will meet in the Finals...Man, i can't wait until Z, Pav, Crosby and Malkin are back at it again. Fantastic series and i look forward to the future!!

http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage Detroit News reporting Parade is Friday at 11 a.m!!!! i'll be there and staying for the Tigers - Indians game!!

I think that goal clinched the conn smyte for Z!!!

Z's shot went barely through Fleury and when he sat down, he sat on the puck and pushed it into the net. I'm glad Kronner got an assist...redemption has its perks.

i dont think you can take hudler out for making 1 bonehead move. even though it cost them the game, i dont think it justifys a benching..remember, he's the one who scored the GWG in game 4..

For those of you who can't see the game..here are a few sites that stream it almost live. (20-40 second delay) http://www.channelsurfing.net/ <----Scroll down and click on the NHL link http://www2.myp2p.eu/competition.php?compe...pline=icehockey <--click on the yellow tv. We got this going at college orientation and basically took over the whole show! The leaders were so pissed but everyone was loving it!! Wings 5 --Mule, Drapes, Clearly, Pav, Lids Pens 2 -- Hossa, Staal

awesome GDT as usual aflac. Lets Get this thing done tonight. Wings 5 --Lids, Drapes, Mule, Pav, Danny C Penguins 2 -- who gives 2 s***s

i normally like drew sharp as a writer but i think he's totally off in this article. Hudler hit him in the face with his stick...and he made him bleed nonetheless. THATS THE RULES. People forget that the penguins goal came in the first half of the 4 minute penalty..so regardless of how long the penalty was, they still score. IF YOU ARENT GOING TO ENFORCE THE RULES IN OVERTIME, DON'T ENFORCE THEM IN THE GAME...thats all im saying. I love Hudler but he made a bonehead move and it cost the Wings..get 'em in 6!

Assuming the Wings win, should Ozzie still deserve some consideration even after Gm. 5? What about guys like Lids and Rafi? All they've done is limit the NHL's Golden Boy and his wingman to 2 goals in 5 games. Shouldn't that be worth something? Pav and Z have played more of a defensive forward position because of the Crosby line, so it's been tough for them to get pucks past Fleury in this series. Should one of them get it considering what a great playoff run they've had? Mule? What do you guys think? If they win either in 6 or 7, who gets the hardware??
