I really like the look on the linesman's face. "Come on, Mule. Pickin' on the little guy? Is that really necessary?"

I wonder if he's going to get to 500 career NHL goals before he hangs up his skates. In 2 years, he might not have a spot left in the NHL unless he hits the juice over in Russia. I guess we'll see. Maybe he'll come back for one last year with the Wings and hit #500. That would be nice.

THIS is the funniest thing I've ever heard, and a true sign of the HOLMSTROM HARD-ON. Holmstrom - 38 goals and 40 assists in 144 games. Franzen - 27 goals and 20 assists in 55 games. Do you honestly think Johan Franzen is "learning" from Tomas Holmstrom? If you do, you have a screw loose. The Mule is all things playoff hockey. The team won't even let Ninety-SUX wash Franzen's jock strap. What other learning do you think is happening on the Wings? Do you think Zetterberg is learning from Hudler? Or Lidstrom from Lebda? The HHO is like the dark side of the force. It clouds your vision.

Ninety-SUX is lucky he plays on the Red Wings. He'd get cut on other teams.

You've always gotta have that one cued up, eh!!!

And why is that again? Because he had zero points again? 0 in 11 now. ON THE ***** DETROIT RED WINGS!!! That's almost impossible to do. Do you realize that?

Especially not from where the linesman normally stands. It's hard to play defense from the blueline up against the boards. I get that, brother.

Stop playing the guy with Ninety-SUX.

Actually, it's not. The numbers don't lie, hockeymom. They tell you the story of an aging veteran who's only getting minutes on the team because of past accomplishments. Spend a couple games watching how out of place Holmstrom is 5 on 5. When they say guys have "lost a step", it's normally players that had one in the first place. Holmstrom never had a step, and he's lost 3 or 4 over the years. I won't disagree with you that he serves a valueable purpose on the power play and can serve as a "net presence" in that situation. I would STRONGLY DISAGREE with you that he's useful to the team during 5 on 5. *** on a man, if you ask me. http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=84607...season=20082009

ok, guys. You're all right. I mean, Holmstrom is lighting it up offensively. I mean, once the Wings started to play some tough teams, he's just been a dynamo with his 0 points in 10 games. I mean, give the guy some credit. Pffffff Excuse me for wanting good defense and backchecking instead of "net presence". I'd rather have someone who can skate and play 2 ways instead of Ninety-SUX.

Will he shed his rookie number? If so, what do you think his new number will be? I say #2.

I'm working on an enormous project right now, and I have to get it done by 8 tomorrow. I'm going to be up til 4 in the morning finishing it, so I'm trying to take some breaks and get my mind off it once every 2 hours or so. Do you want to take this out back? ( )

Hemerhoid Surgery, maybe.

I thought it was a TEAM award?

I "might" believe a bad herpes outbreak, but like the earlier poster said, 10 days aint going to rehab an alcohol abuse problem.

I didn't think you were allowed to fight with a visor on. That's lame.

Osgood. 2 goals a game.

Yah, I'm going to be very nostalgic in 2018.

Anytime that Nick Lidstrom takes 2 penalties in a game, I know the officiating is at the very best, slightly tilted in the other team's favor. He takes a legitimate penalty once every 10 games or so, but those calls on him last night were absolute garbage. Datsyuk, Hossa, and Zetterberg deal with plays like that from the opponent every shift. If they were to consistently call penalties like the ones the refs called on Lidstrom last night, then the Wings would be on a powerplay 55 of the 60 minutes.

We should call him "10 Minute"

Remove Helm and Abdelkader from that list. They are no longer prospects.

Anytime I see a stream of urine that isn't mine, it's over right there.

The players call him "Abby"
