    Thoughts on Sami Salo?

    Its probably because you come up with a line/who should we pick up thread everyday, you should just list the name of every player in the NHL and we can comment on them for you. As for Salo , the guy can hurt himself wiping his ass in the morning. He once got bit by a poisonous snake in Finland that wasn't even native to the country...thats about as rare as blueadams not starting a thread in the next 24 hours.

    Brian Rafalski appreciation thread

    I think you're very wrong and to be quite honest I think that's ridiculous. He's 37 won the cup mutiple times, has had some nagging injuries and just figured that now is a better time than any to hang em up. Donated 6 million dollars? Cmon..he has made more then enough money in this league..did you ever think that he values his health and would love to spend more time with his family? He took a discount when he signed his deal and to for you to think he's doing this to make the team better is kinda funny actually. Who is out there that we can realistically get that is as good as Raf? Key word being realistic.
  4. I agree..Rome was too far away from the glass and his head just whipped into it. Borderline 2 minutes...5 was a joke! I can't believe I just stuck up for a Sharks player lol

    Atlanta Thrashers move to Winnipeg

    The old arena was a problem but also the Canadian dollar was worth about 65 cents US back then which was even more of a problem. In an uncapped era with a bad arena and a bad dollar they just couldn't do it. Another Jets link...decent read

    Atlanta Thrashers move to Winnipeg

    He has? No offense but I would like to see some proof of that.

    Atlanta Thrashers move to Winnipeg

    Yep that is the rumor , Winnipeg will have to suffer in the Southeast for at least a year and the re-alignment would be proposed. According the the globe and mail in Canada this deal is done. Atlanta to Winnipeg

    Off-Season Changes

    It's about the 10th since we lost game 7.

    Our last playoff berth?

    in the Western Conference that is.. With strong word that Atlanta may be heading up to the great white north and rumors swirling that Detroit would be the team to head East could this have been our last playoffs in the Western Conference. If so it's a shame not to get payback on the Sharks but it could also mean new rivalries, more original 6 match ups and all you east coasters don't have to complain about the games in the Pacific time zone anymore . With all that said it's been a pretty sucessful run in the West. Obviously none of this has been confirmed as yet but it's something kinda cool to think about moving into the off season .

    Changes in the offseason

    Any guy who massacres the name of the greatest player of all time shouldn't be taken very seriously . Yea blame Holland, 100 pt seasons, 50 win seasons, Stanley Cups...I mean what the f*** is going on around here? The irony in that post is well....ironic coming from the biggest douch nozzle on these boards !

    Our last playoff berth?

    I hope we have some kind of seniority in this league, if Columbus goes East before us it's such a joke !

    Our last playoff berth?

    Yea I agree, politics in this league move pretty slow but the rumors caught fire pretty fast today. I'm from the West and I would love it for the Wings to move East.

    WCSF Game 7 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Sharks 3

    I agree, get a winger for those 2 and it could be scary Fil - Dats - and any right handed shot that can somewhat put the puck in the net ! Other things I took from this series : Jimmy Howard can play big league goal Pavel Datyuk is the best player in the world After watching tonight I'm almost becoming an advocate of the 3 line system, 3 that can score and 1 plugger line ....almost I said haha

    WCSF Game 7 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Sharks 3

    I agree 09 was worse because obviously it was for the cup but this is a close 2nd and leaves a pretty stinky taste in my mouth !

    WCSF Game 7 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Sharks 3

    Great series and a great effort tonight by our guys playing with 9/10 forwards. 20 years of being a Wings fan and that one probably hurts the most. Adios folks, bulls*** with you all in a couple of weeks after the offseason bulls*** threads are done. And to the true Wings fans out there who stuck with this team until the end. CHEERS !

    Win or Lose: This Team *Needs* Nothing

    I agree. It's funny how the off season threads stopped after we started winning again..typical for around here I guess. If this teams works hard and their skill takes over they are the best team in the league. Throw in Jimmy Howard playing the best hockey of his young career and we still have a lot to look forward to in the coming years. Obviously minor changes will always need to be made because of age and free agency but the core of this team will remain intact and compete for some time. In Hockeytown we don't rebuild...we reload !

    WCSF Game 6 GDT: Sharks 1 at Red Wings 3

    You have to be one of the biggest losers I have ever seen on these boards, and I've been around long enough to have seen plenty. It's like you live in a perfect world and you think all 20 guys dressed should be perfect every night. It's a team game you ****** and that's what allowed us to get back into this series.

    Play Datsyuk and Filppula together!

    If Babs had any intentions of benching Abby he would've done it for the rest of the game and he didn't do that, he had him out there about a minute after he got out of the box. Same lineup, same result please.

    WCSF Game 6 GDT: Sharks 1 at Red Wings 3

    You know the franchise has a chance when you start your 1st season with "Happy" Holmes between the pipes.

    Nashville vs. Vancouver

    The 3rd period of that game was about as exciting as watching invisible people f*** which was really good for Vancouver but bad for anyone else on earth who was looking for some entertainment.
