    Datsyuk to court

    I totally have one of these shirts. I thought for sure Datsyuk, or someone he was affiliated with was the one who was selling them. Idk if i should keep wearing it or not, its one of my favorite shirts

    NHL Commissioner turns 20

    It's a week later than it used to be. It changed a couple years ago when they put the pro bowl before the super bowl.

    Nail Yakupov Goal Celebration.

    I wish some of the guys on our team played with half of this enthusiasm.

    1/22 GDT : Stars 2 at Red Wings 1

    Datsyuk really going to center that first line?? Sounds like a good idea to me. It didn't make sense that they were putting him in to win face-offs last night, but he wasn't even taking face-offs on his own line.

    Which players will get bought out?

    You may see some guys traded for picks/ prospects just to make room for the cap. I always think it is interesting to see how this kind of stuff works out.
  7. I was going to start a new topic about this. I'm pretty interested to see what they do about this too. I wonder if they would just sit where they are for now to see who comes available, then cut out the appropriate contract to make room for a new player.

    Who takes Hudler's shootout spot?

    After playing a whole game, and an overtime. A long skate from center ice to the goal might be too much work for him.

    Who takes Hudler's shootout spot?

    I'd say it would be Fill too, at least until we get a better look at Brunner. He has always had better numbers in shootouts than Z.

    Sheahan arrested for "superdrunk" driving

    There is no excuse for this. The kid should know better, especially since he as been in trouble for drinking related offenses in the past. Someone with so much to look forward to in the future should be making better choices than this, and not putting peoples lives at risk.

    Petr Mrazek making some noise with his start in GRR

    This is exactly what i was thinking too. Get him some play time in Gr, and when he gets into the NHL with the great goal coaches we have this guy is going to be awesome. (hopefully)

    Petr Mrazek making some noise with his start in GRR

    I saw him on Sunday, he looked great. He seems to have a little trouble with rebound control, but that's something he can learn over time. He has great instincts, and looks really comfortable in there.
  14. Mrazek looked pretty solid last night. Smith played a ton of minutes, and scored in the shootout. Nyquist played a lot too, and seemed to be all over the puck. Tatar seemed to be really strong on the puck in the offensive zone. Jurco seemed to do pretty well. He was the first shooter in the shootout, but got cute and ran himself out of room.
  15. Found a few front row tix for the Griffs on Craigslist for the game tonight in Houston. I'll be missing my own game for sure now.
  16. I might go to the game in Houston on Sunday, but ill have to miss my own hockey game. I still haven't decided if i want to miss my own game.

    New Commissioner?

    Scotty Bowman I think the players, and owners would really respect him as a commish.

    Datsyuk leaving after contract is up?

    I thought he has always wantwd to end his career playing in Russia??

    Red Wings Alumni Showdown Roster

    I might have to watch this game by myself. If Vladdy actualy skates out on the ice i will cry like a babay.

    Why is it Doan OR Semin? Why not both?

    I'm sure Valtteri Filppula ($3.000m) & Jimmy Howard ($2.250m) will want to make more than that next year. If we spend right to the cap we wont be able to afford to have them return.

    Sprung A7 frames

    Im going to convert a pair of ice skates into inline skates because i like the fit, and stiffness of an ice boot a lot better. I am trying to find a set of sprung A7 chassis for my wheels. If anyone has a set for sale, or comes across one let me know.. Thanks

    Shane Doan to test free agency

    Thats what i have always thought too. I'd like to see someone brought in that would spark something in Franzen, or teach him how to play like the power forward he can be. That was one of the reasons i would have liked Jagr here last year. I think putting him on the 3rd line would be a good idea too. Mabe at center?? It would force him to play 2-way hockey, and then he wouldnt be so bored all the time.
