number9

Obviously directed at me. My opinion on Franzen, though unpopular, is well documented in this thread and throughout the Franzen arguments on this forum. If he's done I think 93 should be off limits for at least a while, and I thought the same with number 2 at the time.

Not bored. Our record this season was a lot worse when Franzen wasn't playing. And when was the last time a RW of his caliber had his career ended early due to injury? Fischer? The guy pretty much got us a cup in 2008, and almost another one in 2009

93 should probably be off limits from now on, like 6 and 16

This team is competing for first in the division, then Franzen gets injured and everything falls apart. He'll be sorely missed if he retires. He's been a truly great Red Wing during his time here. One of the best.

SHUN THE NON BELIEVERS SHUNNNNNN

I recommend a hotel

Just when I think this board is starting to show some class, you go and open your big heretical trash mouth. "Look at me, I hate possibly the most beloved Red Wing player of all time now... because he makes personnel decisions for the team mine has to play against." Pathetic And may I recommend dropping the whole 'screw dirty tampa' bit as well. Those people can't read anyway, so it's falling on deaf ears.

No one is rooting for the enemy. We're just not ripping Yzerman. TB has players for that.

Oh gawd, I'm confused

All teams have issues. But being negative and over emphasizing those issues is totally in right now. Why have rose colored glasses when you can have cool black colored ones? Personally I've chosen to hate on Brendan Smith. Don't take any of this personally LOL your knowledge of play off hockey is pathetic. They'll eventually go to the shootout and your block shot strategy will mean NOTHING

YOU DID THIS NOT ME

HAHMPOOS

You talkin to me or brony boy Melen man?

Never expect a brony to have class I guess

Brony

keeps saying login unavailable for me Edit: nvm just dumb

Whoa whoa, check yourself friend. Yzerman is not a whiny turd because he wantedto manage a team that wasn't the Red Wings. By that standard all of Holland's and Babcock's proteges for the last several years have been whiny turds. Are you saying the RedWings have been run by whiny turds??? Yzerman was sent off with best wishes. Holland wasn't stepping aside so he, like Nill, had to go somewhere else for their career to continue to progress. I hope Steve has an illustrious GM career, whether if it's for us or not. He was raised by us and trained by us and thus I hope he continues to reflect that high standard when he's apart from us. He is the opponent now, I understand, and I want nothing more to trounce his team. But that doesn't mean I don't respect the man or his team.

Oh go ahead and be negative if u want to. Real fans are always negative.

Stats are for math freaks. The ol eyeball test says Smith is train wreck that landed in a group of dumpster fires

You can't win a playoff series in 2 games doofus Tampa in 8

Wings in 3

Mcgrattan has a hot gf though Mcgrattan beats Lesner everyday

Upside is a little generous at this point

Wings in 4

The only one being generous to someone here is the smith fanboys to Riley's brother
