Does anybody here own a 09 winter classic jersey? I think I found a real one(from a seller that both me and a couple of friends have bought from before) on ebay. but i have a couple questions about it. First off the link to the ebay auction itself: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAVEL-DATSYUK-RED-WINGS-WINTER-CLASSIC-JERSEY-XXL-/360787048905?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item54009579c9 Concerns: -There is no nhl shield logo on the collar under the laces. Is that normal? -The lettering on the nameplate seems a bit jumbly,although that could be the photo itself,does it look normal to someone who owns the jersey? -Finally the numbers & logos look really shiny,almost as if on a fake jersey? Again it could be the photos,but does it look legit? I've been kicking myself for years for not buying one of these when they first came out,i didn't make the same mistake with the new one and picked myself up a Zetterberg WC in the spring. I'd love to complete the Euro Twin's set,and if I can get a 09 WC jersey with Datsyuk on it,it'd be killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Does it look legit to anyone on here who has one of these jerseys(even if it's not a Datsyuk)? Thanks for the help guys!

I collect some stuff.I don't do sets,but I'll buy some packs and some singles from ebay or from a local card shop.I do however have a ton of Osgood cards(probably over 2,500 since I buy a few lots).I'm on the mission to get one of every Ozzie card made(I'm about 85% there).

Langkow isn't a ufa.Hes signed for 2 more years at 4.5 with a no movement clause.

Anybody else see that Mark Streit had the "C" for the Islanders?

There it is.I couldn't find the article.

I've read that the alternate will be replaced after this current season from a jersey from a different era in their past.

When I was in highschool I used to wear my jersey(s) after a Wings win.Blank or Yzerman for non shutouts,and Osgood for shutouts.I also grew playoff beards and was lucky enough to have them win the cup when I was in grade 11.I wore a combo of the 3 jerseys for a week after they won the cup.I also Taped over one of the O's in Osgood so it said "Osgod" too! Now that I'm a year removed from school I wear one when I'm playing outdoor hockey with some friends at a rink I run and during the winter when it's cold out.

My first ever player I met was Wendal Clark at a signing event at Parts Source.He's been here a few times to sign(My dad's co-worker grew up with him)some stuff.He was here earlier this year to sign his book,and nobody was there,so I got to talk to him for 45 minutes or so. Kyle Calder has a acreage outside of Saskatoon,and I met him at John Deere the summer after he was with the Wings when he came in to get some new belts and blades for his riding mower.I knew that he comes in there every now and then,and I had a stack of cards for him to sign under the counter but I forgot to get them signed.He's a very nice,down to earth guy and him and I talked for a good half hour. *edit* I forgot that Babcock came down here with the cup.I met him,got him to sign my wings cup pennant,and then he grabbed my Osgood jersey and signed it too. There's also an outdoor rink downtown here in Saskatoon.Howe and Gretzky both showed up for some reason.Gordie signed for free,and Wayne wanted money to sign autographs for kids.I was really disgusted by this.I meant I dislike the guy to begin with,but when you do something like that,it shows that you don't appreciate your fans.

I get to see Niemi play here in Saskatoon.He has a bullet of a slapshot,but he's really brutal defensively.He has that shot,but rather than pass it around or use a wrist shot he always winds up and fires it right into a shinpad of another player and they get a shorthanded breakaway.Niemi is the next Marc-Andre Bergeron...

I hope that he stays with the Wings in some way whether it's with the Griffin's or as an extra forward brought in for grit.I don't want to picture him in another jersey as it would seem wrong.

Anybody have a version of the sharks bullseye without the background?

As the title says,I need help to make an informed discussion if this is a fake or not.I believe it is(for 85 bucks,it seems like it),but I've never seen a winter classic jersey up close.Thanks for your help,and if this is the wrong area to post,I apologize.

Yeah,I've decided not to buy it.Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks much for the info.He did say that it's a size 48,but is more like a 52 or 54,which is something that worries me.

That is what I was thinking.The guy said he has the bill and tags for it(tags still on it) so I will go look at it later this week.Is there any specific way to tell if this is a replica or not?I've never really looked at am edge,much less owned one(I do have 3 old ccm ones though).

This is the team I would love to see iced for next season.It probably won't happen,but a guy can always dream right?The cap number is based off of the report on hotstove last week on hnic. Pavel Datsyuk $6,700,000 Henrik Zetterberg $6,083,333 Johan Franzen $3,954,545 Valtteri Filppula $3,000,000 Daniel Cleary $2,800,000 Tomas Holmstrom $1,900,000 Kris Draper $1,583,333 Maxim Afinogenov $1,400,000 Darren Helm $1,300,000 Justin Abdelkader $1,100,000 Drew Miller $800,000 Mattias Ritola $750,000 Patrick Eaves $750,000 Nicklas Lidstrom $6,000,000 Brian Rafalski $6,000,000 Brad Stuart $3,750,000 Niklas Kronwall $3,000,000 Jonathan Ericsson $900,000 Jakub Kindl $883,333 Derek Meech $600,000 Chris Osgood $1,416,666 Jimmy Howard $716,666 ROSTER SIZE 22 SALARY CAP $57,700,000 PAYROLL $55,387,876 CAP SPACE $2,312,124 This is what I see the lineup as: Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Filppula-Afinogenov Miller-Helm-Cleary Abdelkader-Draper-Eaves Ritola or Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Filppula-Zetterberg-Afinogenov Miller-Helm-Cleary Abdelkader-Draper-Eaves Ritola Lidstrom-Rafalski Stuart-Kronwall Ericsson-Kindl Meech Howard Osgood I think that would be a very solid lineup,and would leave some wiggle room in case of injury or trade.Just my thoughts on what I would like to see.

I may be a Canadian but there is no way that I'm cheering for Canada,even if Stevie did build the team.The fact of it is with Crosby(and to a lesser extent Pronger,and Perry) on the team I can't justify cheering for 3 players I hate.I was cheering for Sweden,but since they're out I'm cheering for the States.Go get 'em Miller and show the world what good players Michigan produces!

No real order,but here goes: Pronger Crosby Malkin Hossa Lilja(yes,i will probably catch alot of flack for this,but I loathe Andreas "Pylon L"

1:Alex Ovechkin What isn't there to like? 2:Jarome Iginla Amazing athlete and a player who can do anything. 3:Thomas Kaberle Rock solid d-man,plus hes cheap to boot.I'd love to see him in a wings jersey. 4:Zach Parise: From the few devils games I get to watch,hes a pleasure to watch. 5:Martin Broduer Yeah,I'm a little miffed that he broke Uke's records,but it's kinda hard to hate him.

he played for the blades here for 3 or 4 seasons.He was pretty good.He played with Joe Barnes(hartford),and Devin Setoguchi(sharks),Mike Green(caps) was on the backend,and Micheal Garnett(former atlanta goalie) was in goal.That was a great team,too bad they fell short in the playoffs.

I wanted Busch to win,but having Tony win isn't bad ether.I used to hate the guy,but I've really grown to like him these past few years,with going to his own team and such.My boy Kahne was running good until he smacked the 18 at the line.Aj had a up and down night,Sorrenson,god don't even get me started,and Sadler was decent in 10th.

So heres my team for next season. 2009-2010 Detroit Red Wings FORWARDS Pavel Datsyuk $6,700,000 Henrik Zetterberg $6,083,333 Johan Franzen $3,954,545 Valtteri Filppula $3,000,000 Daniel Cleary $2,800,000 * Jiri Hudler $2,400,000(long term deal) Tomas Holmstrom $2,250,000 Kris Draper $1,583,333 * Ville Leino $1,300,000(2 or 3 year deal) Kirk Maltby $883,333 Justin Abdelkader $850,000 Darren Helm $599,444 DEFENSEMEN Nicklas Lidstrom $7,450,000 Brian Rafalaski $6,000,000 Brad Stuart $3,750,000 Niklas Kronwall $3,000,000 Jonathan Ericsson $900,000 Brett Lebda $650,000 Derek Meech $483,333(extra skater) GOALTENDERS Chris Osgood $1,416,666 Jimmy Howard Trade the pylon for something,cut sammy go,re-sign Hudler and Leino.Or you could deal stuart and replace him with ericsson,and save 3.75 mil. Projected lineup: Holmstrom-Zetteberg-Datsyuk Franzen-Filppula-Leino Hudler-Helm-Cleary Maltby-Draper-Abdelkader Lidstrom-Rafalski Kronwall-Stuart Ericsson-Lebda Osgood Howard
