Detroit has done great with their original jerseys. Do not ruin the great design of the WC jersey by making it a third. The fact that we only got to see it twice this year makes it that more special of a jersey.

Horrible call. I am so livid to have to attend a game like that.

I'm a Blues fan and I like to whine about other teams not playing for our benifit.

I love Franzen probably more than anyone here but TOO LONGGG

Two people, from a five minute google search. One of whom is Mark ******* Messier, the other Scott Niedermayer. Honestly, if you could give me one legitimate reason on how Lidstrom needs to improve as a captain, I'm all ears. Otherwise, you have nothing to say about his leadership. He may be quiet, not hit, and not be the fire wagon you want him to be, but dammit he knows how to lead, and lead by example.

I thought it was pretty funny. Have fun with the beers.

Yes, I'm sure it wasn't a personal attack by accusing me of being autistic.

He could be thinking he doesn't give a s*** about the media. After all the flak he has gotten already, I wouldn't either.

Scott Niedermayer: "It's tough to see anyone better, that's for sure. I don't know what more you can say. He has been recognized a number of times for good reason, because he's a very, very good defenseman. He's a smart player, has great skills, and is a good leader. He is everything that you need to be to be in his situation." Mark Messier won six Stanley Cups and remains the only man to captain two different teams to the Stanley Cup - the Edmonton Oilers (1989-90) and the New York Rangers (1993-94). As Canadian as they come, Messier doesn't buy into the antiquated notion that Europeans can't lead. "He is the prototypical leader by example," Messier said of Lidstrom. "I don't know Nick well enough to know what he does behind the scenes in the dressing room, but if you talk about a consistent leader, he's the same guy game in and game out, he's consistent in his personality so that when the guys look at him, he's always going to be the same guy. "He had some tough shoes to fill with Yzerman leaving there and he stepped in and they haven't missed a beat." There's a start for you.

Funny, I never said your statement was serious. Before giving me the personal attacks you could learn how to comprehend what I said. Anyways, your sarcasm was bad, and you should feel bad.

You should have seen it coming. "Hey look! An interview about Downey!" "We should dress him" "No we shouldn't" "This team is too soft" "Enforcers are goons" "You are a goon" "Downey can't play" "Franzen should be traded" "The Red Wings are lazy and they suck!"

I think Maltby or Kopecky. Kopecky had a decent stretch, but has come back down to being mediocre. Maltby hasn't really been any good this year.

I no longer accept you as a Wings fan.

Micah was right, this guy has no heart or personality. He could never help lead this team.

How is it funny that I'm saying you are using a logical fallacy? Faulty logic isn't something I agree with just because it is a hockey forum. Also, if we are at the bar and you say "man our pretty play didn't work against those blue collar guys from Nashville" to argue that it was the reason Detroit lost, of course I'm still going to say "just because they play a "pretty" style doesn't mean that it was the reason they lost last night."

You know what would be wodnerful? If the person who made the assertion in the first place to do the math.

So somehow correlation=causation now?

Your sarcasm wasn't really funny.

On a lighter note: I want Johan Franzen's babies. Clutch-o-saurus right there.

Osgood lets in 3 goals yet had a great game. What the f*** Red Wings.

Nothing about this post makes any sense.

Because they had rougly 80 million invested in their roster already. Even though there wasn't a cap, the entire point of business then still was to make money.

According to training camp, he wasn't so much worse that getting rid of his experience was a good option. Quincey was the odd man out because he underperformed. If Hasek was only marginally better than Osgood, Holland wouldn't have made the deal.

He's like the Rudy of the Wings.

Kenny is loyal to his veterans, but he isn't stupid. When you have the opportunity to sign one of the best goaltenders to ever play, you do what it takes to sign him. I guarantee you if Quincey had the potential of Ericsson, you would have seen at least one vet out the door this year to make room for the guy.
