Oh wow, way less then I thought. Thanks for clearing that up. Your basing your opinion off speculation from random reporters. No one knows what the Wings have counter offered and they can't control is Babs wants to leave anyways. We are in good hands regardless with Blash.

Russia has to start changing the philosophy in order to be successful. USA and Canada both went in and played as teams and played a structure system (200 foot game), Russia has too many individuals that see the game one way only. You can't beat teams as individuals. They need to start developing two way players / dmen more, it's ok to have the superstars like Ovi, Malkin and Tarasenko (when he is allowed to play) but the blueline for Russia is absolutely horrendous. The coaching also needs to change, they switch coaches but it's the same results every time and the bias to have mostly KHL players is ridiculous as well.

Doesn't he make that now? He deserves a raise anyways.

As the old expression goes, money /= happiness. Babs will be miserable for at least 3 years in Buffalo, they aren't even close to a playoff team yet.

I would wait for a reputable source reports that. Something tells me an article written by someone in San Jose doesn't carry much merit.

I think the opposite. Chicago vs Ducks is the Stanley Cup Final for me. Just like LA vs Chicago last year was the Stanley Cup Final for me.

5-1 Griffs. Rockford pulled a Roy and pulled the goalie with 10 minutes left.

Aside from Ovi, Malkin and maybe 5 other Russians they still show they are some of the classless Hockey players in the world. Leaving the ice before the National Anthem? Pathetic. Just like in 2010 when they disrespected the Czech's by taking off there Silver medals after receiving them.

I wonder if Ovi will guarantee the gold. Go Canada! Bring home another Gold!

Because there is things called opinions. Does everyone have to agree with you? Babs stays good for us. He leaves good for us we end up with Blashill. Let's not pretend Babs is a horrible coach and needs to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope we should just sell the team. No hope at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who's the 2nd line center next year then ? Edit: Soderberg and Sheahan FO% identical. Also Soderberg played PK as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's over. It was overtime. Griffs lead series 3-1

BERTUZZI!!!

I have no idea anymore. I guess it depends if Babs is back or not.

I agree with this but his post was basically stating Sheahan is the superior player right now. Just had to set it straight that it's not the case. The way I see it is Z can't center a line anymore. he needs to just focus on playing wing. Soderberg isn't some scrub, he's a useful NHL player that could help us in the 2nd line center spot imo, more so then Sheahan right now. With half decent linemates (he played 3rd line in Boston) I think he can get 50+ points and play a solid two way game. This all depends on Salary and term but for 2-3 years at 4 - 4.5 million I don't see how you say no. Ship out Weiss and Anderson, LTIR Franzen. Sign Petry / Franson. Z - D - Abby Nyquist - Soderberg - Tatar Pulk - Sheahan - Jurco / Helm Miller - Glen - Jurco / Helm

Player A: 44 Points, +10, 77 Hits, Solid two way play Player B: 36 Points, -3, 27 Hits, Solid two way play In what world, or estimation is Sheahan already better then Soderberg. The only thing Sheahan has on him right now is age.

Wooo Go Canada!

I never said for the Wings to go after him. I'm saying just because he took a couple penalties doesn't mean he is totally useless. He is still a very useful defensemen.

No one has interest in Soderberg ?? He's averaged 46 Points in the last 2 years. He's big, and Swedish!

Yea because that automatically negates all the positive about Green....

Hitch is still there?

Ovi is simply amazing!
