    Nicklas Lidstrom HHOF Waiting Period

    I think even Steve himself would disagree with you on that. Lids will go down as at least the 2nd best defenseman of all time, the absolute best of his generation, & a cornerstone in helping to grow the game from the perspective of European players. Should the HoF waive the waiting period for him? Absolutely they should. Will they though? I highly doubt it myself.

    He was 'baitin

    nashville's new home jersey

    Would that be considered a piss poor comment? At least they didn't go with the brown mustard yellow from their thirds from a few years ago so the color switch is a small upgrade. The jersey is still too busy though with the keyboard on the inside collar & the piping and horns coming off the collar. (or whatever you want to call them)

    Still some noise about Wings picking up a top 4 Dman

    I don't see Holland doing much of anything with the cap space left due to those very reasons. If something happens on the trade front, I think it will happen closer to the trade deadline next year. And I think if a trade does happen at any point, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Wing's "over ripe" prospects like Mursak would be included.

    Judge rejects NHL deal with Molson-Coors:

    All of those are beers for beer drinkers when they're not drinking beer. Even worse are the "lite" varieties. I've had stronger tap water. Give me a pint or 12 of Guinness any day.

    Cheechoo is singing the Blues

    This has to be an AHL depth signing. If they expect him to contribute to the big club...needless to say, desperation is a stinky colonge.

    Holland becomes US citizen

    I hope Babcock never finds out. You know how much he hates Americans

    Defensive pairings

    That gets a thumbs up from me as well...with Kindl & Commodore on rotation I would think & leave Smith down another year in GR to soak up ice time in all situations.

    Interesting Info. Regarding Jagr and FA Fiasco

    If anything, this just provides another reason why I'm glad Kenny didn't end up signing him.

    Wings re-sign MacDonald to 2 year contract

    Would have to think it's a 2-way deal.

    Arbitration Hearing Dates

    Exactly. When Weber gets his big money award, the Preds will more than likely have to shed some salary somewhere.

    Arbitration Hearing Dates

    I'm more interested to see who Nashville & NJ will have to trade off to afford Weber & Parise respectively. Figure both are going to get awarded significant raises.

    Ranking NHL Broadcasters

    First thing I thought when I saw the list was: The guy who wrote this is clearly an ass clown. Nothing to lose sleep over.

    Salei to Play in Russia..

    Given the Wing's previous experience, I just thought players jumped to the KHL for the hookers.

    Red Wings sign Chris Conner

    Wouldn't you want to keep it in the Wings family? Head Coach: Joey Kocur Asst Coach: DMac Asst Coach: Stu Grimson

    Chicago's Getting Meaner

    It's sure one ugly baby but still too cute to be Tootoo. But back to the topic... Sure let the Hawks skate around & try to be all Just about everyone in the Wings locker room has had to deal with teams like that before & I seriously doubt it would have much of an impact.

    Barnaby arrested

    I'm thinking he's a Mike's Hard Lemonade type of guy myself...you know, 'cause he's such a hard ass & all

    Patrick Kane's mean face for you bringing up that incident again...

    Red Wings sign Chris Conner

    Asking to turn this into a line combo thread? If only we had someone around here who was addicted to discussing line combos...

    Wings looking to sign Drury?

    If the Wings start signing dogs, would that maybe coax Uwe Krupp out of retirement too?

    Is there a problem with Babs?

    Yes, I would trust this much more than someone saying "a buddy of mine said" without having specifics on where it's coming from. Without sighting sources, that's as good as me saying that a buddy of mine told me that ex-players are bad mouthing Babs for his penchant for wearing a pink tutu & tiara in the locker room before games.
