no one tell Eddie O about this, because then he would have to say we are interfering instead of slashing on this play

I love Helm, I do. But we are calling for a guy to be a captain who has NEVER scored a regular season goal yet. LOL I think my nephew who is 2 would be a good captain after helm

whatever, who cares as long as the first part is there

If they could re-do it I think they might reconsider the Huet and Campbell contracts. In 2010-2011 they will have the following guys under contract Sharp - $4.1 mil Byfuglien - $3 Campbell - $7.14 Seabrook - 3.5 Sopel - 2 Huet - 5.625 6 players - $25.365 mil without any of their 3 best players signed Then you have Havlat, Toews and Kane(the last 2 making <1 mil now) going to be making 5+ each probably, and guys like Ladd, Versteeg, Skille, Barker and Keith are all going to get huge raises as well over thei rookie contracts. They are going to have to let some good players walk.

I dont know about underpaid, its great to have him at that price, but by underpaid I am thinking the guy could easily make more money. If Ozzie was a FA this offseason, does anyone think he would get much more than that on the open market?

Kane was -2, not toews. Toews had 2 goals.

"CHI Patrick Kane: -6" dont look now, but Mike Commodore is the only player in the playoffs with a worse +/- than Kane. He is brutal in the defensive zone, he doesnt backcheck and looks like he doesnt care on defense. IMO he is really overrated because he is strictly an offensive only player. He was a - in the regular season as well

I think Hudler would get more than the $1 mil you have him making. I mean, we gave Filpulla $3 mil.

we traded the pick to Washington that turned into Green, does that count? beside that Wings front office has made a lot of great moves

is TB #2?

Konstantinov Stevens Id just try to knock out every player on the other team with huge hits.

If the playoffs started today all 5 teams would be in the playoffs. Remember when people used to say the Wings racked up wins because the division they played in on the other hand the pacific only has one team currently in.......

are you sure, NHL.com standings have St. Louis listed in the 8th spot

beat you by two minutes

i went through atlanta a year or two back and went to a Thrashers game and a Hawks game back to back nights. Playing in the same arena and both on weeknights(Tue and a Wed iirc) the thrashers played in front of an almost full stadium that was pretty loud and the next night the Hawks game was less than half full and dead.

once again, how was my post negative? I said he played a good game but I didnt think it was anything extra special, yet that means I dont know anything about hockey, i am negative, im an ozzie doubter, i am never satisfied and im an idiot and a moron, did i miss anything?

how am i not satisfied? I wasnt worried at all after either 8 goal game and still think we will have a great run. Our team is the best in the nhl and about as good of one as the cap can put together. But after a goalie gives up 3 goals in a game to a bad team i dont know if a thread should be started talking about how dominant he was or how great he played that game. Yes Ozzie played really well tonight but if thats the criteria for a new thread you could make one pretty much every game beside the 8 goal games. some posters on here seem to get uber-pissed like their panties are in a bunch if anyone says anything other than ozzie is the greatest of all time and he does no wrong. Honestly, what is wrong with what i said? Was he good tonight? Yes, was he completely dominant like out of the ordinary in his play, no.

Ozzie is playing better lately, but some people seem to be taking it too far, i mean he gave up 3 goals to the 3rd worst team, its not like he was completely dominant.

^^^^^^^^^ not bad lineup imo, we would still be fine. Dump a Lilja or Lebda to make room for Leino contract and I dont mind that team

problem is even though conklin's stats are much better at home then on road, his road stats are still better than ozzies road stats. Conklin should just be the starter period.

nope 18, unless hudler is out because hudler is missing from his lines and i think Holmstrom is back and taking the spot Downey was in

i thought holmstrom was playing

there is a difference between knowing what he has done for the organization and respecting him as a player and thinking he should be our starter this year. I respect him and cringe every time he is in the net.

and Pavel, lets just break up the team

i hope nothing happens. I like the guys we have better than the guys we are rumored to be looking at.
