Finnish Wing reacted to Hockeytown0001 in McCrimmon, Salei on board Russian plane crash
Russian officials calling for improved aviation safety. A bit late, wouldn't you say?

Not for the next guy, it's not.

Finnish Wing got a reaction from haroldsnepsts in Rick Rypien found dead
Steroids and other that kinda stuff that doesn't belong in the human body. The leagues just don't want to talk about it because it would look bad from a marketing perspective. -
Finnish Wing got a reaction from wings1110 in Rick Rypien found dead
Not directly, necessarily. Rypien has to do with the unexpected deaths lately. And the unexpected death's have to do with steroids etc.I didn't know this was a "R.I.P thread" in the Water cooler. I thought you are supposed to actually discuss in the General discussion section. My bad. -

Finnish Wing reacted in Andrei Kostitsyn, being shopped
I'd pick Hudler 10 times out of 10... and twice on Sunday.
No thanks to this Kostitsyn bum. As bad as Hudler was last year, I know he is a legit goal scorer. And with this being his contract year, I expect him to have a career year and score lots of big goals.
Unless Kenny can trade Hudler for a gritty top6 goal scorer, I say keep him and enjoy his 2011 goal production. You'd have to be ignorant to think Hudler will have another this bad of season while entering his prime... (especially during a contract year).

Sure thing.
This trade would finally silence those posters who complain about us not having enough toughness on the roster.

Finnish Wing reacted to egroen in Third line players who suck
It was mentioned earlier Hudler should just be allowed to play a Brett Hull game, and I completely agree. I don't really care to see him trying to play physical, grind in the corners and backcheck, because frankly, he isn't good at it. Hudler should be told to simply find open space.
I know Babcock is a stickler for 'everyone backchecks' but Bowman at least knew his players' strengths and weaknesses enough to say 'everyone but LaFleur/Lemieux/Jagr/Hull/Holmstrom backchecks'.

Finnish Wing reacted to P. Marlowe in Third line players who suck
Calm down. Eva's point was that Hudler's producing OK for a third liner.

Finnish Wing reacted to LeftWinger in Third line players who suck
You are so funny, first of all Holmstrom is 38 years old, and he is STILL out performing Hudler at 26. Same amount of points last year in the same amount of games, but Holmstrom's points are earned in a way that Hudler could NEVER understand NOR would he ever attempt. I'd take one Holmstrom over four Hudler's anytime and anyday. We aren't even going to mention Holmstrom's worth to this team over Hudler in the the playoffs... You are just taking your love for Hudler way too far now bud, just stop, please, stop.

Finnish Wing reacted to Shaman in Teemu Pulkkinen
Size and speed are overrated, see Dats and Z for examples of what elite vision and ability can do in a frame that is under 1,85cm.

Finnish Wing reacted to eva unit zero in RFA/UFA Signings
If the Wings can get away with trading one of Flip or Hudler for Semin, and not give up any top prospects or first round picks, then that's something to be considered. The Wings have several forwards who are as good or better defensively than Flip, and he is not among the team's best PKers. Flip for Semin as the only roster players doesn't harm Detroit's PK, but improves the PP. Maybe the lines could work out like this:
Semin/Datsyuk/Bertuzzi
Hudler/Zetterberg/Franzen
Cleary/Helm/Eaves
Mursak/Abdelkader/Holmstrom
If it's Hudler instead of Filppula, maybe it works out like this:
Semin/Datsyuk/Cleary
Franzen/Zetterberg/Holmstrom
Abdelkader/Filppula/Bertuzzi
Mursak/Helm/Eaves

Finnish Wing reacted to LeftWinger in RFA/UFA Signings
I don't disagree that they are but huge pussys, but at least Semin's ***** squirts and I can enjoy it more!
Hudler is just a useless dried up ***** that not only doesn't hit or battle for the puck, but cannot score for crap. So they are both pussys, but Semin at least scores...and unlike Hudler, if you put Semin on Datsyuk's line, he will flourish...

Finnish Wing reacted to RusDRW in Arbitration Hearing Dates
why should we care? None of these will play for the Red Wings next season and I think most of them will be signed by those dates. Especially, Parise and Weber.

Finnish Wing reacted to stevkrause in Wings re-sign MacDonald to 2 year contract
Insurance signing - He will be the starter in GR, unless something unexpected happens where neither Osgood or Conklin fill the roll, it's a good backup plan... he gets his money, with his one way contract to play in GR and the Wings can call him up and feel confident that he is at least competent if needed.
Good deal for both sides
Money was a big factor to him, I can guarantee it's a one way deal, but he will still play in GR - the one way deal just assures him NHL money...
Correction, he didn't want to make AHL money - he's trying to secure his financial security for his family and I don't blame the guy, I don't think it was ever a pride thing for him, as much as wanting the guaranteed money...

Hudler and the word physically together....
Hudler provides more offense than Semin? You slay me! Thanks for making my day funny!

Finnish Wing reacted to Frozen-Man in Keith Yandle reportedly re-signs
Also Yandle was a RFA which generally lowers the price some over a FA.
