That's funny, opening paragraph Detroit isn't a playoff contender.

Only 4 of those seasons he should be considered 'not healthy'. 70+ games is pretty good for a sport as violent as hockey. He had 6 straight years of being healthy.

I'd guess it's to replace Kindl.

Where did that blasted neg button go when you need it most... His family consists primarily of his daughter who his ex-wife has custody of and resides in Ekaterinburg.

For me, I think Nyquist's upside is more than I'm willing to trade. For me, I said. I honestly don't know much about Okposo at this point though, although, it appears he's having an amazing season. Especially playing on the Island.

Most of the teams anyways...

Quit bringing logic into this. If he did that, we all would have known and this is to be a surprise. Duh.

March 5th, 2014: The Detroit Red Wings sign D Nicklas Lidstrom. March 6th's ceremony is not really a retirement, but an un-retirement. It's been planned all along.

Where is the #easytotrashtalkAmerica hashtag?

And these are the reason Illitch will never be forgotten. I don't even live in MI, but I appreciate the things he has done for the city.

It doesn't, those were separate thoughts.

I'm fairly certain he didn't play a shift in the semi-final. They were talking about it during the gold medal game. All I gotta say is: If you ain't first, you're last.

I never knew what these were, basically like advanced legos. Kind of cool they have all the teams. Tried to copy a picture in, but they have it kind of hidden and I'm too lazy to search for the source. http://www.oyosportstoys.com/Hockey/Detroit-Red-Wings

I need a break from the Olympic talk, so... This is an absolutely great read for any Wings fan. Lots of stuff I've never heard of before. Some stories about Huds, how Lids was in contract for the WC Alum game before his announcement was even retired, abby is a hypochondriac (my words) and some superstitions. http://www.reddit.com/r/DetroitRedWings/comments/1ya0wf/i_used_to_work_at_joe_louis_with_the_red_wings/ Here are some of my favorite tidbits: Turns out Crosby isn't such a ****** off ice after. Rats.

Yeah, it was pathetic.

They didn't choke in one big game I recall.

So hung up on the details. They could just be cool things to have. I didn't really think anybody would be playing with them. I got rid of my legos, oh I don't know, 20 years ago. No I'm not 40. If you are really interested though, I think they can be had for cheaper on Amazon. I have not looked though. FWIW, I have seen Dats with a goatee before.

LOL...

I'd say Semin. Then again, it said trade, so IDK.

For the record, I actually like syrup. Not as much as this guy, but it's not bad. Actually, come to think of it, the stuff I eat is probably one molecule away from plastic, but it tastes aight.

The Euro_Twins one looks tipsy.

I think we all had a couple, and those that haven't either should or will be soon. I know I did, and I'm even back at work somehow. Went to B-Dubs, was the only person in the whole place, probably the whole city, with a Team USA sweater though.

Speak of it as you will, just don't make accusations that are untrue. I'm sure there were plenty of American's saying things like that, just like their were Canadians. We're all Red Wings fans, so we know what class is, let's all just show a little. I'll say it again to appease the syrup gods: Well played Canada and congratulations on a hard-fought win over Team USA. Happy?

Figure of speech. You call everyone sore losers and you are indeed bashing us. That's never going to go over well, what did you expect the responses to be? Shucks, you guys are the best, and I apologize for thinking my team had the skill to win a hockey game. Go read my first post after the loss, I congratulated Canada and then you post telling everyone they need to come grovel to you. That's how it came across anyways.

Apparently observations are trash talking now. Canada had trouble scoring on Latvia, no? That's all I remember being brought up.
