    Holmstrom-Datsyuk-Franzen Bertuzzi-Zetterberg-Cleary Leino-Filppula-Williams Draper-Helm-Eaves or EuroTwin active Holmstrom-Datsyuk-Zetterberg Bertuzzi-Filppula-Franzen Leino-Williams-Cleary Draper-Helm-Eaves Abdelkader plays big minutes in GR and we'll get a great 3rd line guy for next season. Frolov-Datsyuk-Cleary Zetterberg-Filppula-Franzen Abdelkader-Helm-Eaves goon-Draper-goon Ahh, that would be nice.

    Seems like I've heard this one before.

    Why are the Wings Afraid to Block Shots?

    Cuz we're full of Soft Eurosâ„¢.

    Olympic Captains?

    Not gonna happen. Even Kovalchuk is ahead of him.

    Olympic Captains?

    I think Finland is questionable as well. Koivu or Koivu? Or Timonen for a compromise decision?

    future of the club

    I'm still wondering why we didn't pick Rajala.

    Babcock blasts team as Wings help Oilers to victory

    I strongly disagree. You rather wan't the typical NHL coach to coach this team? Fat guy, with big moustache, knows nothing about hockey tactically, but can yell loud. I think players respect Babcock because he's such a genius tactically. He doesn't need to scream to get the players play.

    Hudler?

    I'm not sure about him coming back anymore. He's got better chances of success in KHL and of course he gets paid well there too.

    #1 Hockey Country

    Tretjak said that about half of their players will come from KHL and I truly believe him. Bykov has these certain role players that he trusts and that are at top of their game in international tournaments. Zinoviev, Nikulin, Schastlivy, Zaripov, Morozov (who you already listed)...

    Playoff Chances

    I think it's pretty hard for Crosby to be a Hart winner too as long as there is Malkin playing for the same team.

    Hagman to Ducks

    http://www.calgarysun.com/sports/hockey/20...943956-sun.html Ducks is said to be intrested. Hagman-Koivu-Selanne could be a solid 2nd line.

    Sweden has Zlatan. So the answer is Finland.

    #1 Hockey Country

    Why is USA and Czech Republic ahead of Finland. Czech Rep can also be considered as a soccer country, while USA has all these other big sports. Finland's number one sport is easily hockey. Also, if you look at the success in international tournaments Finland should be ahead of those two. If you look at the players, Finland and Czech have both had very good players, while USA as a big country of course has had the better players. I pity the fool who think USA is a hockey country.

    Where is Carlyle? I think he should've made there.

    Money makes the world go round. Has little to do with ice-hockey itself.

    #1 Hockey Country

    Are you trying to bash Finland, Czech Republic and Slovakia by leaving them out of the list? Don't know which games you've been watching but I've seen USA get beaten by Finland quite many times. Also, if you say USA is the #1 because of NHL, that's just stupid. USA is a bigger country overall, has more money and more people living in it. Of course it has a bigger league. Finland's population is only about 5 million and still we have some pretty good players.

    2010 UFA's

    I don't think Jokinen is the type of player that fits in this team. He's a center, but he's not good defensively. He plays too straightforward game to be in top6 in this team. He's a sniper, not a playmaker. He fits perfectly in teams like Flames or Flyers.

    Abdelkader

    If this turns into line guessing again: Abdelkader -> Griffins Holmstrom-Datsyuk-Franzen Bertuzzi-Zetterberg-Cleary Leino-Filppula-Williams Draper-Helm-Eaves May

    Abdelkader

    Don't you have any other purposes in your life than bashing Tomas Holmstrom?

    Abdelkader

    I'm wondering if he stays up when everyone is healthy (if that ever happens). I mean, wasn't the plan before the season to let him play big minutes in the AHL. He's definitely a NHL caliber player already, but what do you guys think?

    You can't win if you don't score goals.
