or refs, or opponents goalie... hopefully he doesn't try to fight Ozzie now that he will be between the glass

YAYYYY HOCKEYY!!!

We won some, and we lost some.

Who won? Lol

Alfie should wear 12 in order to show everyone how many cups the wings will have after the 2013/2014 season

Ok, I just kinda get annoyed at how many people constantly knock the guy like his performance has drastically gone down in the past couple years, playoffs I tend to agree though. FYI I wish Abby could be more like Franzen, able to score 20-30 goals, and be responsible defensively

Holland himself Said Mantha is most ready, as soon as he puts 15-20 pounds on you can expect to see him called up and full time shortly after.

Franzens performance has never deteriorated, and his point totals have been very good, playoff performance is a little different, but you can't expect any player to play at the level he did for those three years every year, it's nice to dream, but it hasn't happened. He had a much better supporting cast back then. Please show me one stat from the regular season that has dipped, and I will agree with you. Franzen at 33/34 is a much different story than Cleary at 34. Cleary's knees are shot. Franzen is still producing just as well as he did before and his stats are right in line with where they always have been. All things considered playing with Weiss and Alfie should boost his point totals this year as well.

I am not defending him saying he will leave if he doesn't play for Detroit this year, but I think some of it can be attributed to the language barrier. I see it as him being more upfront and honest, which is very respectable in most of Europe, and not mincing words, and not so much being arrogant and full of himself, he also doesn't speak the best english so he gets straight to the point. I feel like I have proved myself, and I deserve a spot on the roster, however if they do not feel that way clearly there is nothing left for me here and I should go play in Switzerland or wherever, could be the message he is trying to convey, but it comes across more like, I am ready, earned spot, score goals, no play in nhl this year, I go back home.

I think he should have had two already, waive him and let someone else pick up our garbage, that way we have room for sammy, bert, and cleary

Now he is signed. Wasn't signed before yesterday though.

Didn't know you were capable of jokes, I thought you were an automaton

Of course nill would be in on it.

Most people over 40 are over 40

Seems that way now, unless he plays 2 more nhl games.

They just wanted more money, don't kid yourself Sammy and a first round pick, for rick dipietro

Zhen Dao Mei.

Tatar has to play with the wings, he is out of waiver options. They can't send him down.

This. And they can't trade one, everyone knows how good they are together, why would you trade one? If I could even dream of getting those two on the wings, I would be overjoyed. They are a package deal, and they should be paid as such. Nothing wrong here, they are both equally talented and shouldn't be paid differently.

And Sammy.

Cleary isn't signed. He too got a tryout contract.

Selanne needs 25 goals jagr needs 19. I doubt either will hit 20 goals this year so it's more realistic to assume jagr hits it, if either do

They don't have good defense or goaltending, and their offense is not always good. They are a team known for over paying for decent players and blaming all their woes on their goalie

Firstly, I believe the players would have to agree to play, second, the cap goes up almost ever year, meaning players have been making MORE money, and thridly, who gives a crap, these guys are getting millions of dollars per year, excuse me if I don't cry if they don't get paid a hundred thousand more or whatever to play a few extra games.
