Rafalski did exactly what all the other Wings need to do on a regular basis...STICK UP FOR YOURSELF! Don't always be looking around for Downey to come do it for you. Team Toughness baby! TEAM TOUGHNESS!!! Cheers to Raffy! esteef

Thought it deserved it's own thread... McCarty WILL join the Wings a week from Monday! "There seems to be some misinformation floating around about Darren McCarty's status, so I asked Wings general manager Ken Holland to clarify. This is what Holland told me: McCarty will join the Red Wings a week from Monday, after his two-week conditioning stint in Grand Rapids is done. And he will remain with the Wings through the end of the playoffs. Holland said there is absolutely no chance that McCarty will remain in Grand Rapids past the conditioning stint because he can't be waived. The deadline for putting a player on waivers, Holland said, was last Monday, prior to the NHL trade deadline. So even though McCarty was listed on the Griffins' 22-man Clear Day roster, he's not eligible to play for Grand Rapids in the playoffs. " Mlive http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/20..._join_wing.html Looks like he'll be in against Chicago! esteef

Two words...f*** the NBA!

I liked someone's suggestion on here to simply change it to Never Forgot Mac #25. Not a big change for you, but more relevant to his current status.

That dude just got ZAMBONIED!

Agree. The same exaggerated expectations they would've placed on Feds had he been acquired at the deadline. Besides...your screen-name alone gets you off the hook!

Wear 'em with pride!

NFM, I am in fact referring to "other posters" (and they know who they are). But the last comment you made smacked of the same pessimistic undertone that they bring to this topic. Like we're all too dumb with our rose colored McCarty glasses on to understand that he may have limited minutes (at least initially). No offense.

The same people that needed to realize he won't make it out of the IHL, or the AHL, or score any goals, or get up to the NHL with the Wings? Those people? MAC's not being brought up to ride the bench, we have enough capable bodies for that. I'm through listening to all these people that think they know everything, cause they've been wrong on just about every count with MAC so far. I feel better. esteef

Lilly stackin' the pads!

Hasek charging the breakaway, Lilly stackin' the pads, Maltby gettin' a couple! Good times! Cheers to the boys gettin' it done! esteef

He has a funny looking nose.

Where are all the Holland haters now? f*** that deal!

Scorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre! Steve Bern-yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Hopefully there aren't too many heavies in the playoffs that MAC will have to worry about.

He also smacked Parros around pretty good too.

March 11th you mean? (No game on the 10th )

Yep, Lilly was a -1 even though he was covering his man in front. Somebody (I think Homer) let their guy loose and he scored (2nd goal I think). But, to Lilly haters, it was probably all his fault.

'McCarty Can Help the Wings' -- Michael Zuidema http://blog.mlive.com/fivehole/2008/02/mcc...uggling_re.html "I think he definitely can (help the Red Wings)," Zuidema said. "The Wings' big question mark people have brought up is toughness and I don't think there's any doubt Darren can bring that up." "And bringing in a guy with three Stanley Cup championships can only help you out. If he can bring some secondary scoring, which the Red Wings have been desperate for, that'd be just a bigger bonus." just sayin' esteef

He's still strong, I'll give him that but he's gonna have to prove he can beat Drake before I believe that. Drake's been fightin' a long time.

Yeah, that's exactly what we're saying. Get a clue man. He's at best gonna be on the third line, probably be on the fourth line when he's not a healthy scratch.
