    Detroit trades Datsyuk to Arizona

    If you don't get Stamkos (and I hope they do) 7.5 split up among 2 or 3 other players can add good value

    Detroit trades Datsyuk to Arizona

    Reading Kris Letang's Twitter feed I tend to think he sees the Phoenix pickup of Datsyuk's contract as a joke on Phoenix and their fans:

    A little song tonight sent out to one Ken Holland from Red Wings nation on WLGW. Stax of wax and platters that matter, it's 11:39, 21 minutes before the witching hour on the eastern seaboard and here's Bette Midler
  4. Sorry to my fellow Spartan family. Ron was a good one http://www.mlive.com/spartans/index.ssf/2016/06/former_michigan_state_hockey_c_1.html

    Gordie Howe has passed away. 1928-2016.

    Must see! Don Cherry and Ron McLean talk about Gordie and Grapes tells a hilarious story about the first thing Gordie ever said to him... https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/741340827000004609

    The famous 5 minute standing ovation for Gordie at Joe Louis Arena in the 1980 All-Star game

    I see what you're going for here, ie the Yankees fans will tell you that Babe Ruth was the greatest Yankee though statistically he was not. BUT he was bigger than life, had a GIANT reputation that preceded him and the fans adored him, just like Gordie. To the Babe Ruth end he was the greatest Wing and hockey ambassador while perhaps not the greatest and best ever at all aspects (Lidstrom).

    Please, I beg of everyone with this petition, let Mr. Howe pass and let the family move on before you put the Illitch family in the uncomfortable position of probably NOT changing the name of the arena, especially since the Gordie Howe bridge is being built. I love Gordie Howe and the Red Wings as much as life itself but don't use his passing to pressure the owners right now and make them say something unpopular.

    RIP Big Man. You built what we all enjoy today, there are no words that can tell you how much that means to all of us in Wings nation.

    ECF : Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

    As someone who has learned far too much about knees from my own meniscus tears, a torn acl and a tear in the mcl in one knee, three years of PT and a partial replacement next month, I think the way Bishop went down is ACL related. Straight stretch too far down the middle. Not saying he tore it but his reaction tells me it's bad.

    WCSF : St. Louis Blues vs. Dallas Stars

    I was coming here to post that. I think they'll move to the front of the line.

    Kentucky Derby: Nyquist

    Late jockey change at Churchill Downs: The owner has decided it's best if Nyquist gets ridden by Wings fans just like at JLA.
  13. Hats off to Lakeview, the cozy little barn on the shore of Lake Superior, that beat out a rink in Calgary to be this year's Kraft Hockeyville arena and they get $150K in arena upgrades/fixes and a preseason NHL game. I spent many many nights at Lakeview as an NMU underclassman enjoying those Wildcats. Dallas Drake and Jim Hiller, former Wings, both played there.

    ECSF : New York Islanders vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

    Don't like Drouin? Has Hickey got a hit for you. 100% clean and legal. Reminded me immediately of Konstantinov. https://twitter.com/IslesWhiteSUV/status/727654249975427072
  15. Nobody had done a thread on this series. This is actually VERY intriguing. I'm tempted to go Nashville simply because they get SO MUCH scoring from their D and in the playoffs tipped point shots reign supreme. All the Nashville forwards need to do is stay out of the box and hold the Anaheim forwards to a scrum and I think there COULD be an upset.

    WCQF : Anaheim Ducks vs. Nashville Predators

    But, but, but, we made the playoffs

    ECSF : New York Islanders vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

    I'm cheering for the Isles because screw the Lightning and here's the video of Capuano getting hit by the puck (nothing gross)

    WCQF : Anaheim Ducks vs. Nashville Predators

    The Predatorials and their Fang Fingers are up 1-0 in Anaheim in game 7. They are playing an almost perfect series considering their lack of fire power up front and like I mentioned at the top, getting their scoring from the D. Plus, the Ducks are choke artists. Go Preds!

    The Holiday tradition: 2016 Draft thoughts.....

    We need EXCITING players, screw it if they can play. Maybe Kenny can draft the next Petr Klima this year (he was exciting) to keep us all entertained for when we're being satisfied limping into the playoffs not expecting too much.

    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    Money On The Board - 25 years worth of playoffs style!

    5$ more dollars BECAUSE ST. LOUIS BEAT THE STUPID HAWKS in the first round!

    Alexander Radulov: Wings on short-list of desired teams

    Well, suddenly are we in a position to turn down talented players who can help us score EVEN IF he has an attitude? Used to be we didn't have to give the Radulov's of the world a second thought. Unless we have some grand plan I'd say we have to kick the tires.
