    Funny Red Wings pictures.

    NBC is not a fan forum, it is in fact a channel that promotes an awful lot of their broadcast to the guy whether he is involved in the game or not. We naturally hate him in this town. LGW is a site for the Detroit Red Wings fans to have a voice and they clearly don't like him. It isn't really a fascination as it is just a feeling most of us have.

    Yzerman puts Smith on waivers

    I know right!!! OMGZZZZ!!!!!! The greatest Captain in the history of sports who took a paycut to play his last season with us. Basically, the man who made the word "Captain" actually mean something. A guy who can legitimately go his whole life by just being called "Captain". I can truly say that if you feel this way about Stevie, then not sure where your heart is when it comes to hockey fandom. In this town, Stevie truly does no wrong. And being a patriotic American, that includes spearheading that damn Canadian team to Gold. So take the Stevie Y anger elsewhere, fella. That is all.

    Shades of Fedorov?

    I must add, that Sergei was definitely my favorite player growing up in the 90's. His game was just the most noticeable on the ice. The end to end playmaking ability that he had was just jaw-dropping. Had the white, Fedorov Nike skates, the Nike stick he had and the Fedorov jersey. It was amazing how he just made literally everything seem like it required zero effort. Once he left, Nick became my favorite. They just had my favorite type of skills. Just effortless and smooth as silk. I have grown to appreciate more and more what we have had a chance to see back then and just cherish every moment #5 is on the ice for us. It is something most Wings fans have to just sit back and think about one day. I know as an old man, I will just be able to marvel at what we had the chance to watch. Stevie, Sergei, Lids, Pav, Hank, Vladdy, Igor. Just a humbling thing.

    Shades of Fedorov?

    Watching the old videos, and especially recently replaying the March 26, 1997 Wings-Avs game, Nick's talent out there at just about everything is just mind-boggling. But when Sergei was out there, he was flat-out the best player on the ice. It was sickening how he would just blow by everyone. Nick's intelligence, quickness to the puck and to make the right decision, shot, and lead passes are probably the very best. Raw talent has many definitions but damn it, they were both great. Pav will definitely be on that list when its all said and done, I am confident in that one.

    Nevermind the Russian broadcast, just mute lol... vs.

    Shades of Fedorov?

    Well yeah, definitely Feds could possibly be one of the greatest defenseman all time had he played it more. With Nick having to play a more shutdown role on defense I am not sure the points thing holds a whole lot of water yet there is a lot of truth to what you are saying in this above post. But maybe this is the particular thread that should be brought up.... Who has/had the most RAW talent to ever wear the winged wheel. To me, it truly is between Nick and Sergei in the history but I wasn't around during 30's-late 80's so would be a tad tough for me to really say it's just those 2. Would be tough to find 2 more all-around talented players than them though.

    Shades of Fedorov?

    I would debate Lidstrom on this particular statement but Fedorov was just unreal and at time made you just shake your head. Datsyuk also.

    The importance of the 3-game losing streak...

    Reminds me of how everyone had a s*** fit when someone bumped the "Lidstrom's real Injury" thread right in the middle of our epidemic. It was like possibly the worst bump in the history or damn near.
