We need that Anaheim offense to struggle. Very entertaining.

Not to mention embarrassing them in the workout department.

These two were both so good in the playoffs, both offensively AND defensively, that it doesn't really matter to me: they should just continue to be the dominant two-way forwards that everyone covets.

It's stupid quotes like this one that make me wish we could rate posters, so that we could skip posts like this one and keep reading. Exactly. He'll earn his spot, and continue to make our young D better. He'll play in half the games, and (when he is in) continue to play in the top PK pairing with Nicklas Lidstrom - a fact that many of you idiots seem to forget. One bad Dallas series and "Cheli's done".

What about the socks? I was looking into getting a white RBK practice jersey (I have the black one) with the Wings logo. I wanted to get the Wings white socks with it, with the RBK jersey material. Anyone have this?

Suffer, Ducks and Sharks! Suffer!

For F's sake... "You're" - meaning "you are". "Your" - implies possession. Example: Your original idea of signing Feds was a bad one. Here endeth the lesson.

This is actually a really good question. I've got a 93 Franzen t-shirt (not the cool ones I got of Dats and Lids in Detroit that are just red t-shirts with the Wings logo on front with the name and number on back), and would hate to see the change for the same reasons some of you mentioned above. I have to get the Mule shirt, but would definitely suggest you put a Stanley Cup in the mule bag. I would have loved to see Mule win the Conn Smythe, so you could put that in the other saddlebag. Sweet!!!! $$$

Can we sign these two AND Flipper, Cheli and Mac/Downey?

Worst post ever. Didn't watch the 2nd round against Colorado? Wings up 4-0 and Cody McCormick steps up. What happens if no one squares off with the kid, and he takes a run at Dats or Z and possibly injures them?

Allow me to be the first to flip out about the regular season... ... WTF??? How have we lost a game already????? WTF???

Then I guess Lidstrom didn't have a partner on the top PK line, and you're not a ******* idiot. Oh wait...

Typical idiot. Same idiots who say Chelios was useless all season. Mac was especially good in the first round against Nashville, and should be a little better with training camp and the regular season under his belt. Not a real impact player, but just as good (if not better) skill-wise, as Downey.

Indeed. San Jose is hurting, but not as bad as the Sabres.

The Grind Line is the 3rd line. Why don't people get this? And besides, Cleary plays with Drapes and Malts and it WORKS. They often start games to provide a jump start to the first period, depending on what the other team throws out (home games), and very often start on the road. I am proud to say I was at Mac's first game back, and they started the Grind Line, and the place went nucking futs. I also noticed them play a shift in the playoffs against Dallas and was very psyched.

Source?

Due the insane level of hardness that the Hossa deal rocks, the next question (after signing the last few FAs) is who is going to protect these guys when they light the lamp over and over and over again?

Don't forget about Quincey and Ericsson.

OH. MY. GOD.

Sorry, didn't look at the details. WAY too much money. Geez.

Double-post. I accept your apology.

Post of the Quarter!!!!

This is excellent. Absolutely excellent. With all of the high-dollar deals being done, this deal is terrific. Now if we can just work on a finisher...
