Yeah but whats the point of suspending a player for a clean hit? Volchenkov saw him coming took the hit and both went on with their game so really Shanahan should take a backseat here.

Low risk signing for 700.000 don't know where he will fit but maybe they are using him as a 3rd liner or some kind of mentor to the young guys like Couture.

At some point all you can do is laugh and laugh loud, this is unbelievable. Kronwall might as well get 35 - 40 minutes now lol

One of the two is known to be a special - note troublemaking and not very likable person in the lockerroom -personality the other one would cost us way more than the initial proposal and at that point he is not worth it. Also keep in mind Cheyeldayoff would never accept that. Mursak, Kindl, Tatar and Quincey this is a package where other GMs would ask for something in return for taking them. Trash for quality just doesn't work in the real hockeyworld. Only the first round pick and White do bring some value but for sure not enough to get Bogosian and personally I'd rathewr hold on to the pick if things are going south might be a top 5 one so a big change for starting the rebuild. Do you remembeer Ken Holland talking about the "1 year window" after signing Hossa? The season after that the Wings started to lose firepower constantly sad but true at that time it would have been very wise to start looking for two guys who could have helped to decrease the impact of Nicklas Lidström retiring at some point. I know it is much easier said than accomplished but I think at this point now the time for retooling is over and the team should go for a full rebuild. I also know a lot of people will disagree but hardly a problem with it.

DON'T TRADE OUR 1 unless it is for a top pairing guy coming back which Bogosian isn't. We could really get a nice pick this year so let's not throw another one away. Time for re tooling was after our last SC final now it is time for a real rebuild don't want to see us looking for shortterm fixes just to make the playoffs. Just look at some retooling teams they are trapped in mediocrity. Sent from my BlackBerry

Any rumours about him being avaiable?

Well look at the Oilers defense and goaltending, their best defender is a rookie so I am not surprised they've lost.

True but we have no one screening the goalie or running the powerplay, maybe we can go 0 - 30 on the PP might be a new record.

I feel sorry for guys like Nino, Grabner, Tavares , Okposo talented young guys forced to play for the worst owner in not only the NHL but maybe all of sports. Their scout staff is tiny, bad unexperienced coaches year after aftere after year because they are cheaper and no quality UFAs at all. Islanders and especially their fans deserve so much more. A few key additions and this roster could really break out, too bad Wang is a joke.

I will his him, his swenglish one of the best to ever screen the goalie enjoy your skiing, golfing and playing Tennis with Nick god knows you both deserve it so much. The fans are going to miss you a lot. Last one from a great era gone, kinda sad to see.

This team does need youth and/or quality players not some guys, looking for whatever job is left.. If things aren't better after 10 games Holland has to try to get a number 1 defenceman for this team it that doesn't work, just call it a season and enjoy a very good pick since forever :-)

He would absolute hate ithere then and I highly doubt Nino would make the big club this season.

The Wings at that time simple didn't have enough free caproom to sign him. Also after losing against the Penguins many people solely blamed Hossa, although safe for Osgood, Lids and Zetterberg no one really showed up (Datsyuk was hurt).

Wings win in OT 2:1

I am pissed because: 1. veteran defenseman 2. working on the phone for hours two words that to me only should have had one answer..........5........

this is a joke right? At least chose Vandermeer instead of this guy, Jesus "veteran defenseman" and working on the phone for hours.......don't make us believe and then drop the damn ball /me = pissed

Our special teams are really special in some strange ways.

This is it guys and girls it will be HIM making a comeback, jump for joy!

screw that 120 $ gone, damn Patriots

Thanks for your input really appreciated. It is nice to see the EPL cracking down on the amount of foreigners and providing more space for Englishmen. as for Man U versus Real Madrid Well to be honest I wanted that matchup as the final game, they both hate each other and are absolutely loaded upfront. Man City to me is a club I wish nothing but the worst possible outcome, I hate them I want them gone this club has sold itself out, they have no identity, nothing to be proud of just a damn sheik trying to be the second Abramovic (spelling?). I think Man U will win at home and get a draw in Estadio Bernabeo. Real always has the biggest stars but hardly a real team and their coach is an absolute joke,you don't bench a guy like Casilas after having one or two bad games since forever.

Him are Quincey 6,25 m tied for dead weight *sigh*

Sooo happy with the man but man, does this defense need to step it up. They've played against the Columbus Blue Jackets don't even want to think would have happened against the Blackhawks or Canucks. I knew this team would miss Lidstrom, but hardly an excuse for sloppy defensive coverage and Quince'd performances. Hopefully, this team can build upon the win and gain some confidence.

Well Boll is a freaking beast and we don't have a real enforcer Tootoo is more an energy pesty type of player, loved when you have him on your team.

I think he still has trouble relating his game from KHL back to NHL standards.

get another one past Bobrowski !
