    Robert Lang

    Lang doesn't score that goal against SJ and I doubt we even make it to the WCF's. He was good in his last game as a Wing. Good luck, Rob.

    Your Fav Season/Playoffs Red Wing Moment

    Lang's goal against SJ, no doubt.

    Is it logical to feel both?

    I feel like the Wings are the better team and yes, it would suck if they lose. However, it's not the end of the world. Everyone seems to forget that this was supposedly a "re-building" or "transitional" year for the Wings. The Wings have established a good young core that's only going to get better with more experience. Plus, we've had this much success without Schneider or Kronwall.

    Why the Orange County Ducks wont win

    Hasek's never lost a series with the Red Wings. You do the math. How many elimination games has Giguere played in?

    My official Go Senators thread

    If the Wings lose, I'd much rather see Canada get the Cup than Chris Pronger. I don't think that will be the case though.

    which one of you toilet papered Gigueres house?

    It was Pronger. He'll have to request a trade again if Giguere finds out.

    Alexei Morozov

    What? The only guy on the team who I'd consider a pure goal scorer is Zetterberg, and it's a stretch to call him "pure" because he's very balanced. Datsyuk is obviously a pass-first guy. Bertuzzi might be but his status is up in the air. Lang is gone. Holmstrom's great but I don't know if I'd call him a pure goal scorer. If you want evidence look no further than our powerplay.

    Bertuzzi

    No, I haven't actually. Anyway, if you were expecting Bertuzzi to be the player he was in Vancouver you were bound to be disappointed. He's just now finding his rhythm.

    Babcock's Fault

    You can't really blame Hasek tonight. He didn't have much of a chance on any of the goals.

    Holmstrom Jersey

    SportsK is a good site for jerseys. A semi-pro Holmstrom jersey will cost you $105. An authentic would be $205.

    Selanne Hurt!?

    He's most likely injured. He only played 14 minutes in Game 3 and has been invisible for the most part.

    OFFICIAL: Pronger Suspended for Game 4

    ...and you're calling us biased? What Pronger did was clearly intent to injure and just blatant headhunting. Even though he is a Duck, I hope you can see that. There's a difference between being loyal and blind homerism.

    OFFICIAL: Pronger Suspended for Game 4

    If Holmstrom hadn't returned it probably would've been longer. Good for the NHL. The Wings really have to take advantage of this. Good ol' Pronger staying disciplined when his team needs him most!

    Holmstrom Hit from Behind

    I've always hated that gap toothed piece of s*** and this just reaffirms my hate. He should be out of the game and suspended for at least two. That was just ridiculous.

    Second line center

    Hamrlik sucked in the playoffs this year, as usual.

    Second line center

    Handzus is better than Lang.
  19. Rice

    Second line center

    I've been big on Handzus for a while now. He can play any position, he's a big body, and he plays defense. Look at what happened to Philadelphia after his departure. Hell, look at Chicago. They were playing well until he got hurt. I also think Sundin would be great here if he's willing to sign for the right price. He's a big body to replace Lang on the second line, he's a Swede, and he's a veteran who has a history of coming through in the clutch. If he wants a chance to win before his career is over I can see him signing here.

    Game 3: Kopecky in, Calder out

    Calder is obviously hurt, so this is a good move. However, Kopecky is going to be rusty. I think the only reason he gets the go over Hudler is that he's a big body. I'm guessing Kopecky is in when the Wings play in Anaheim and Hudler plays in Detroit, similar to the Calgary series.

    Chris Kunitz out of lineup...

    Ryan Shannon on the first line, says Versus. I like that.

    Ryan Smyth

    Well, I'm saying you have Datsyuk locked up for five more years now. Say the Wings sign Smyth to a long term deal between $5-6 million. You've still got Lidstrom for another year at least at $7.6 million and Zetterberg is a free agent in two years. Then, you're looking at Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Smyth, and Datsyuk for about $27 million. That's assuming Zetterberg signs a deal similar to Datsyuk's and Smyth signs for $5.5 million. Thats 57% of the cap (assuming cap is upped to $48 million) on four guys. We could afford to sign Smyth next year but it could mess up the future plans.

    Redwings flashback: 2002

    I was at the game too -- easily the best game I've ever attended. It was insanely loud.

    When will Datsyuk get an 'A'

    Datsyuk has worn the 'A' a few times this season.

    What Pav and Sammy Got....

    Yeah, Perry sure intimidated Datsyuk tonight.
