Either we beat them twice now or we grind it out for 7 with them later. I would love nothing more than the Wings being responsible for the hawks not getting to the playoffs.

I for one would really like to spoil the Hawks playoff push and beat them these last two games of the year.

+1 hank, that is awesome!

Well at least we didn’t get shut out.

Good for Ovi for going after him! Dirty bastard.

Thanks for the GDT! Go Wings! Anyone go to the Jackets GDT? That is a group of defeated fans, wow. :violin:

Q is a hard guy to take seriously - he pulled his goalie on a PP after all.

They are going to turn the NHL into the NBA! One little elbow and the guy flies across the floor like he was hit by a truck.

Blasphemy!!! I can't stand the thought.

Call me out, eh? Unfortunately, I have only drunken psychobabble to retort. Here is what I have gathered so far… Well… so we made a bid for Nabakov , as you already know. There seems to be discrepancies with interpretation of the contract. There seems to be discrepancies with the count of teams that have a legitimate bid on this refugee. There seems to be some talk about 18b or 11.18b that could benefit us (Red Wings) somehow. Something about something, and NJ is going to do us a favor. There is the question of, how will this affect Jimmy as #1. Will he still be #1? Will this change the gravitational pull in any way? Will this possibly change what we know about physics? My point being….. uh… I spent all day on this thread and I still don’t know s***. I want to see Nabby on this team, and if it doesn’t happen… then this is all one BIG, CRUEL, JOKE

My god... what I thought I knew as fact, I know no longer.

What is going to be the best news source for this? I am not going to be able to get any work done today.

I can’t help but wonder if this is a tactic used to send Jimmy a message.

I had to limit my choice by the current roster. I almost named Stevie but then with all the greats, where do you stop?

Red Wings already have a super hero... his name is Nicklas Lidstrom.

What the hell is going on? Be ready Bert!!

select name from griffins where G > 10 and PTS > 20 and SH_PRC > 20 1 row returned.. NAME --------------- iflip The data never lies... I want to see what the Flips can do when they are together.

Attention Wings fans going to the UC tonight!! When the crowd chants, “De-Troit sucks” (as they always do) return the chant, “ELE-VEN CUPS!” It really seems to get under their skin. Don’t worry “A DOZ-EN CUPS!” will work next year too. Let's GO WINGS!!

I'm thinking Jimmy needs a night off. He has been rock solid and I'm sure he will bounce back, he just needs some rest.

Looks like brilliant management to me... Transactions The Red Wings were involved in the following transactions during the 2001–02 season. Trades June 30, 2001 To Detroit Red Wings Dominik Hasek To Buffalo Sabres Vyacheslav Kozlov First-round pick in 2002 Future considerations March 19, 2002 To Detroit Red Wings Jiri Slegr To Los Angeles Kings Yuri Butsayev Third-round pick in 2002 Free agents Player signed Former team LW Luc Robitaille Los Angeles Kings RW Brett Hull Dallas Stars C Pavel Datsyuk Playing in Russia Draft picks Detroit's picks at the 2001 NHL Entry Draft in Sunrise, Florida. The Wings had the 29th overall pick, however traded it to Chicago in 1999 during the deal to acquire Chris Chelios.

WTF?

Well, let’s take a closer look: Reason 1: Hockeytown Any city would love to have that title. It’s ours and I believe it’s trademarked – ENVY Reason 2: The Joe The Joe is filled with history and a s*** load of banners! – ENVY Reason 3: Chelios didn’t shake hands I know someone else that did that in 2009 and we are the only ones pissed about it, I guess they will have to deal with it like we do. – Maybe not envy this time, but pretty damn ridiculous and reaching for a reason to hate. Reason 4: 2002 Awesomeness BOO HOO the Wings had an awesome roster filled with future hall of famers, you guessed it – ENVY Reason 5: Bandwagon Fans Wings fans are everywhere… - ENVY Ok, you got me… 80% ENVY 20% BS.

All 5 reasons to hate were based on envy. Reason number 5 really gets to me… I grew up in the Chicago area and loved playing hockey since I was a kid. I have loved the Wings since I started watching hockey and following the NHL. To say I am a bandwagon fan because I am not from Detroit really pisses me off. Why do people say you have to love the team that is in your city? Does that mean people in Alaska can’t have a favorite team in the NHL? Or the many fans of the NHL from across the pond, I guess they don’t count either? What do you guys think about this? Those of you from Detroit, does it make me less of a fan because I am from Chicago?

Lets see what our boys worked out for the PowerPlay.
