    2/17 GDT: Red Wings 6 at Lightning 2

    Welcome back Stuie!!! You were seriously missed. Going to be a tough one but I am very excited about this one for a while. Ready to see what the boys have on this mini road trip. Let's hear them FLA Wings fans loud and clear! Wings get the W 4-2 (Franzen x 2, Bert, Hudler) Get it done!

    Illitch "definitely committed" to new downtown arena

    The Production Center would be a legit name. Do statues all around of the Production Line members like they have at the Joe and do some sort of the thing with the Big 3 car company names around the rim somewhere. I know that's another way of big bad "corporate America" putting their stamp on it but I mean, they laid the foundation for this hard working town. Plus sort of ties in with the great years of Howe, Lindsay, and Abel.

    Will he wont he?

    The play has been much better than Lebda, though. I honestly realize that statement isn't saying much but you are being quite overdramatic calling him a Euro Lebda basing it on pts. and +/-

    <---- He would do that. Then gladly take it. That's waaaayyyyy too much for him.

    Jakub Kindl

    Yeah, I would like for you to be wrong about this and I am sure you would too but Kindl is just a non-factor out there as Big E was pretty noticeable his first year. We can hope that Kindl doesn't take the E route and disappear later in his career and in fact do the opposite. Here is hoping.....

    Yzerman set to face Detroit for 1st time

    He really hasn't been watching us then lol. Should be pretty cool to face Stevie's team. This is the moment a lot of us have been waiting for since he took the job. Excite

    Will he wont he?

    Yes we sure can. Hell, they can even have Kindl.

    yahoo article That is shocking really. Dude is going to get an insanely large amount of $ going into free-agency next year.

    Was '97 or '02 team better?

    I am going to say the 2002 team was better. '97 was probably my "favorite" team but in this particular instance the better team was '02. I can't really see much debate and I think people pick '97 for the same reasons I stated and that it was the team that finally ended the long Cupless drought and just hold a lot more endearment in their hearts. The 2002 team could be one of the best in the history of the game.
  16. And that is the thing about contracts is you have to pretty much think about when they were signed. At the time yes, more than likely I was on board with the amount. But in the years since, we have seen a very large decline in his "defensive" ability. I realize this always comes with age and all that but this is a player that if he was playing like he did for team USA, I'd say 6 million no problem. The guy we do see however, I am not digging having to pay that much for him when there are actual solid defensive defenseman that can be had at 3 a year. Just my uneducated generalization of it and I am actually a Raffy supporter and also feel his power play skills are super valuable. Just think now this is money better spent elsewhere.
  17. *cough* Rafalski! Carry on. Most likely will cause a ruckus with that but thats my opinion anyway.
  18. Fixed. Big Buff will epitomize that season for Chicago last year. One and done.

    Bleacher Reports Top 5 Captains of All Time

    How come no one has mentioned Bourque? He was definitely one of the greatest leaders in the history of a very very storied franchise. Amazing player too I might add. NOTE: I can't open this website on my computer for whatever reason so not too sure if it is on bleacherreports list. Just haven't seen a single person mention him on here yet.

    beers!

    Wow. It really isn't THAT bad. Sheesh. I mean I get you guys are beer connoisseurs and all but to state Blue Light is that far behind something like Bud Light? You must not have drank it before. It is a Light beer yes, but it destroys Miller Lite for sure (not saying a whole lot I understand).

    Canucks Dman Andrew Alberts out indefinitely

    Still see 0 Cups in Vancouver. Scary scary team but they strike fear into no one once playoffs roll around. Being owned by 1 team in 2 consecutive seasons proves against every single little tidbit you have presented. This season we shall see what the Nucks can do to prove otherwise.

    beers!

    I have seen it before. Definitely sounds like its worth a shot. I believe maybe the hint of clove might put it over the top. I shall provide a review shortly.

    The person below me game...

    Yes large quantities at Sam's Club is the only way to do it. The $ difference and having to rush out and buy some factor just outweighs it way too much. The person below me knows the exactly what they were doing and where they were when the Wings won the 1997 Stanley Cup. Must name it, too.
