A 48 year old Hasek? ...No thank you, but good to hear he's doing well. I'm sure the man still has insane skills too.

...and Hudler...

Line four I really want to see, but this is what I want to see Babs bring to the table.

Great that he split them up but I would like to see the reasoning to why these combos. They don't make sense, and Cleary for the first time looked decent and he was on line three and to demote Nyquist already...It doesnt matter but Id like to see something like: Flippula-Datsyuk-Hudler Nyquist-Zetterberg-Franzen Abdelkader-Helm-Bertuzzi Cleary-Emmerton-Eaves With these we have Defensive mindedness on every line, we have potential secondary scoring on the bottom two lines and two great top lines IMO.

It's his and Z's job first and foremost. Your best players have to be your best players, at the end of last year Dats was in the conversation as the best player in the world...Now he's not top 5?

THATS HIS JOB.

I don't know why but Ive always loved TJ Oshie, he has never even hit 20 goals and has had some trouble with blues management...but here comes that "potential" word again, Im not sure his price would be much over his current 2.7 but is a free agent at the end of this year. Any reason why I should have a feeling about this kid? or it just could be gas....

Question and sorry if it's been covered, I know Brunnstrom doesn't have to clear waivers to come back up to the Wings this year that pasrt is clear. So if Bruno does come back up because of injury or something he would have to clear again if he was sent back down to GR right?

Off for this one, good luck Gusto!

I hope so to be honest, that would be awesome.

I second this, I was more then just a little disappointed at the lack of a shot he recieved when he got here. I thought having him on Z's one wing and Mule on the other would have been a stellar line 2...Or like you said, with Dats on 1.

Woot Woot, 12 and I havn't heard of anyone picking him up. Hopefully my wooting is premature...

I do agree with you 100 percent that juggling only takes you so far. What I was trying to say was Holland isn't getting anyone to lace em up tomorrow night so for now we must use the cards in our hand, but bab's has been frustrating to watch at times by his odd juggling, scratching Eaves, overplaying Miller (he plays hard but has NO finish at all), not playing Bruno-not to mention his umbrella pp...I freakin' love Babs but recently it's been like watching someone trying to play chess but just they keep playing checkers.

Very, very good news. Now hopefully we keep Bruno in the system today as well...

Approaching an hour until 12 and I havn't heard anything yet, I'm hoping this is a good thing. Do they announce his pick up immediatley or wait until 12? (if he gets picked up)

I don't think we need a massive firesale or anything but there is a few things I'd like to see. For now it's simple things just to win a few, like change the lines... Flippula-Datsyuk-Hudler Franzen-Zetterberg-Brunnstrom (really wish he could have got that shot but fingers crossed he clears waivers today) Bertuzzi-Helm-Abdelkader Cleary-Emmerton-Eaves Lidstrom-White (sometimes white trys to make the play too often then just passing to Lids-Ian just pass it to Lids) Kronwall-Kindl Ericsson-Stuart (I know Stuart isn't a bottom two guy but I'd rather him with Big E) Along with these lines I think this whole "bring me a new idea everyday" thing needs to be altered a little, because their idea's appear to be lacking...I don't really know what's going on behind the scenes but Babs needs to (and will) step up and f*** the s*** out of this team-take that however you want. Fix the power play sometimes we look retarted out there, and it is our "enforcer" after all. Stop the pinching D some of these pinching plays are set freakin plays for gosh sakes and there burning us. Holland will need to pull the trigger on something, most people on hear knew we needed a top six scorer last year and this hasn't changed. I still don't think we will see a fire sale but someone needs to come in and we need room for them so time will tell who that will be. This will come later in the season, for know Babs and his boys better start to put up some wins and give Holland some damn time here before our hole is too deep. Howard will be very important yet again this year. Hold on kids...

I love Edmonton, they have an insane group of young talent all apparently ready to play this year. Good to see Smyth back as well. Hopefully they can keep it up.

I hope to cripes we start winning soon so these damn threads will stop popping up.

I really don't understand this yet and until I do I'm just going to....

Can't wait to find the video from this. That's intense!

Nailed it. Welcome.

...Can't wait for Jimmy vs the Sharks. If they loose this one I might cry...

I can't get my brain around not winning the cup this year. I think that every year we are going to win, but some days in the dead of ******* winter its honestly the only damn reason I get up at all, so to chalk it up as loss from the get go I can not do...The famous saying of "just get in and anything can happen" is that false? Because when I look at this roster I see a group of players that if they play the way they need to play to win then they CAN. So they WILL...my 2 cents

I have been avoiding this thread because of all the years to post this its now? We have been one of the oldest teams for a few years running and as soon as we shed years off our median age so where smack dap in the heard you demand to be younger? Im not even going to comment on Zetterberg is a "superstar" comment, just ridiculous.
