Happy to hear Smith is play tomorrow

Sammy is a very serviceable guy for the right price. Can play anywhere in the lineup, Right handed shot, knows the team, can play PP and PK, good defensively. The only reason he left is because we felt that the money was too much and who can argue with him taking a shot and going where the money was at the time.

That was an insult? He called you a child, which by all previous posts and reference to yourself would be a pretty realistic accusation.

This trade seems really forced by the Preds, I know they need the scoring but to reunite those two is risky business.

Made me laugh when I heard a 1st rounder for him, it's bargaining 101, start as high as you can and hopefully meet somewhere in the middle.

It's been a while since I heard this but some no name on TSN just came up with the line " it could be the Wings last run at the cup " Haven't they been saying this for 5 years? 10 years?

I watched it twice, makes my back hurt, and my front, and my teeth and hair. What a beauty.

Good thing season ticket holders don't have any say in the matter then I guess ! This team has been a winning franchise for 20 years..do you realize how ridiculous your statement sounds after a 3 game losing streak in late February? Holland is going no where, this team needs to play better than they did the last 3 games thats for sure but think about what you're saying. This organization has been sucessful for this long period of time by not panicking and making drastic decisions based on emotion and it's not going to change anytime soon..if you have been a fan of this team for more than 10 years I'm sure you would know this. Fu%k he's good isnt he? If anything this 2 week hiatus has made me realize even more how damn good this guy is !

I agree, play the s*** out of Miller-Helm-Abby

What?

Sure I guess, but Conner is not going to be on this squad again unless the plague hits. Basically my point is that although I like Cleary but he should be on the 3rd line with Helm and I would expect Miller would be the other one since they have showed pretty good chemistry. There are many combos that could be used on the bottom 6.

Just switch Flip and Z to start and see where that goes.

It's becoming quite glaring that without Pav this team needs some help up front. We are pretty pedestrian without him. It's like a really s***ty domino effect without him out there. Franzen and Bert are lost and Z clearly has not chemistry with them. Cleary has to play on the 2nd line where its obvious he should be on the 3rd with Helm and Miller so Abby can go down and center what would be a pretty good 4th line with Homer and whatever other guy out of Mursak, Emmerton or whoever wants to join them.

The jump-off-the-ledge-o-meter is about to go wayyyyy up around this place lol

This one ranks right up there with the Diepietro contract and Jeff Finger's abortion of a contract a few years ago with the Leafs.

Such a joke, I heard the same thing. Still even with putting Ballard on LTIR they are going to have a hard time making a big move. They can't take on any salary and the guys that would they would be willing to trade don't send enough salary the other way ie. Schneider and Raymond.

I was just talking to a buddy of mine who lives in Edmonton and he's just laughing (He's a Canucks fan). Horcoff at 5.5 million per lol, Tom Gilbert at 4 million per, Whitney at 4 million per and now Hemsky at 5 million per.

What is the love fest with Hemsky, he's a career under achiever, doesn't play defense, takes shifts/nights/months off. He has 5 goals in 46 games this year and he's -14 and now the rumour is that he wants between 4 and 5 million a year lmao. Who is this guy kidding?

They have never won anything so when they do win a fairly big game like this they have no clue how to act! Trust me, being from the area my phone blew up after the game ended. Made me laugh. The comment I hear around here the most from non Wings fans is " it's not that we dont like the Canucks, it's their fans we can't stand !" Definitely, all joking aside about them and their fans, they got a good taste of what it's like to get that close and lose. Only fuels the fire more. They will make some depth moves at the deadline and then it will be on Luongos shoulders to play good goal for them. They are 4 lines deep and more than 6 D men deep. Anyone who questions there depth is crazy.

Not now they don't, they just played us for the last time. It has to do with the fact that you think we are the under dog against anyone we play. It doesn't matter who or where. It's comical.

Did you see him attempt to block the shot? lmfao..what a waste of time..just get out of the way if you don't want to block it. Him and Bert look so lost without Pav..Franzen especially. Franzen gets my total reprieve come playoff time if he scores like we know he can in the playoffs !

Weeks? You know he could pretty much start skating any day right? Tougher schedule? Do we play any teams that are higher in the standings then us? Yea didn't think so.

I haven't checked out your 2 previous posts to this one but I'd assume they are also quality.

Cuss laden? haha..the guy said s*** once. Good hockey game, full credit to the Nucks, they played well..we responded. Good run ends at 23.

All I know is helm would be out every 2nd shift if I was babcock. Best player on the ice tonight
