i disagree, if lines stay the same as they are set up by babs now and huds and franz stay on line 2, plus the pp time they will get they could realistically both hit 70; imo anyways

everyone knows gary would either send Z, D, H and Lidstrom to pittsburgh or else wive the cap totally and bring sid to detroit so his boy could get a cup, hell might even bring in AO too just so it is not so obvious just for Sid

Hudler - 2nd line minutes, i thin this guy could do some damage for us this year Gagner- like you said big boy in edmonton this year Fedorov...full season with AO and semin i think he puts up at least 85

red wings lead the pp this year with an astonishing 98%...the 2% is from the 14 second overlapping pp's and the end of game pp's, we'll also lead the league with 97 SH goals starting lineup for the allstar game. western conference: z, dats, Hossa, lids, rafalski and osgood think i am gonna freeze myself in the freezer for 3 weeks cause i can not wait for the season to start

what about leino? not sure why but i got a feeling sammy might get traded before the start of the season, hope i am wrong cuz as much as people bag on him the only downside i see with him is that he is streaky as a mofo.

i would say that will happen at least 1 or 2 times a game

best news....Huds on 2nd line.if it stays like this imagine the points that guy could get...1- playing with Z and 2- icetime increase, although i might move him 3rd and pu cleary up on 2nd being that it is contract year for huds and don't want him getting 100pts

LMAO

Been reading the Radulov thread and it made me think if there were any players in the league that i wouldn't care if they jumped ship over to there, and i came up with a couple: Tootoo - NSH - he has gotten better the last couple seasons about actually knowing where the puck is when he is on the ice and not just looking for the big hit all the time, but honestly, i think it is just a mater of time before he seriosuly hurts somebody, and god help him if that somebody is a Z,D, AO or crosby type player...so yeah TooToo can go Pronger- ANA never liked him, do not like him now and never wil like him, spoiled and dirty and while he is a big name i don't think the nhl would miss him at all..Good bye Pronger Perry - ANA not sure why, he is a good player and i would cheer for him if he was on the wings, but he pissed me off in his fight with dake last year when he wouldn't take off his helmet. Sundin - GTFO tired of this soap opera hmm that is pretty much it, and theyare all players i just dn't like. Anyways, you guys have any players you would want to leave or just wouldn't care if they left...? p.s. only 1 month till pointless threads like this can stop popping up

any particular place to pick up the 9k-0 stick, not seen them at places like canadian tire or the jumbo athletes world that carry hockey supplies, and estimated price..$175-$250?

lmao

/concur

I can see where you are coming from, but in saying that i thini the team wanted to win it at the joe and i cheer for the team, not for/against the fans. I was just upset cuz to me personally that game 5 loss felt worse then losing game 6 to anaheim the year before, and that game knocked us out.

going to oiler games and flames games with a wings jersey on is pretty cool, not ballsy enough to try it during a playoff run though, 1 guy i was talking to said he was ta game 6 when the wings knocked out the flames a couple years ago and he was escotred to his vehicle by police, not sure it was as bad i picture it in my head but knowing calgary it probably was My brother lived in calgary and when they went to the finals everyone jumped on the bandwagon he said 90% of jerseys were either iginla or kipper, very few classic jerseys or fans who could actually name the 2nd line of the team or the backup goalie. but hey i am sure it is like that everywhere when a team is doing good

i heard brad stuart gets the cup this weekend and is taking it too rocky mountain house (40 min from where i live) anyway to confirm this as if it is true i might drive over

i voted to split up and D and Z and let them both play their natural center. then put hossa up top with homer and D and let Z center 2nd line with i was thinking Franzen and huds, but then Franzen is being groomed for a center i think too and so Fil and Drapes is already center so we will have to move some guys around. I like the way fil and huds play together so maybe fil/huds/hossa and keep the big line togetehr then have franzen center sammy and cleary...bah it is hopeless too many combinations, nooe will ever solve this thing..like a rubiks cube

looks like it only ges back to the 02 season anyways

that is what i was thinking too, but i think it is time to move on, it was a feel good story last year to go with many others, but now is a new season and time to start a new "story" so to speak

meh look down for i meant to write

/walks in /takes out glue /fixes thread I love Malts in a totally platonic way and he is a symbol of the redwings imo, but with saying that i feel his time is pretty much at an end, it would suck not seeing him on the ice, but i think we have to start bringing in some younger guys 1 or 2 at a time while we can so we don't screwed if/when drapes/lidstrom/mac/maltby all leave at the same time and we are stuck........well not really we would still have 3 awesome lines even if if we don't resign hossa

nhl.com has seasonal fo% but not carreer that i can find, the captain was 57.7% in the last season he played tying draper for 2nd highest % behind some guy named don maclean who i honestly do not remember, only played in 3 games anyways, and i was before i got center ice

lol think i am glad i do not post enough to get that as a permanent new name

really, well spank my ass and call me susie i did not know that

that sucks...but shouldn't you be cheering for chicago anyways ...............williams

any of the people named i would have been happy for if they were on our team and we won, but i guess you are saying players you are glad were not on the team this year that were in previous years. Hatcher.. never liked him big slow lumbering neanderthal, when he got schooled by iginla i couldn't wait for him to be gone. Sopel.. was kinda looking forward to him the red jersey but the class he didn't exhibet when just not showing up and then signing with the hawks i hope he never gets a cup. Guys i kinda wish were still here for this run: Matt Ellis And guys i am glad won the cup this season...obviously the entire team but mostly Lidstrom, Z, Huds, Cleary and Lilja...Lilja you ask? yup just glad he in a roundabout way got redemption for last year
