then it was a misleading comment to say the least.

This is turning into some creepy fan thread, checking where he lives, his daughters, his wife and ex, how he travels...

he was 18 when they met and married 3 years later. didn't he get married to Maria in 2012?

they do exist, the main problem is refueling. and it's only a 2hr45min flight away from St. Petersburg. I think you left out the time change when moving from different time zones

People that claim that still think about it being soviet Russia, perhaps some think they still have Zeppelin's or something like that.

I wish they made a short clip with the best of each day at training camp. the disadvantages of not having fb, I guess.

being Babcock..., might be

did you see Bertuzzi pulling a nasty Todd on Sadowy at the training camp http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2016/7/9/12134940/watch-red-wings-prospect-tyler-bertuzzi-score-a-very-todd-bertuzzi-goal

dictated not read.

That's gonna be interesting to watch, how big goalies like him and Dubnyk do. Even if the equipment is shortened, it would still be pretty big on those guys. Lundqvist and Holtby too.

same here...

Pavel Datsyuk writes open letter to Detroit Red Wing fans Dear Friends, I am blessed to have received an offer to continue my hockey career at home with SKA in St. Petersburg. It was a difficult decision to retire from the Red Wings and NHL, but in my heart, I believe it is the best decision for me an my family. “My decision was not an easy one. Your support of the Detroit Red Wings and of me personally has meant so much to me. I arrived a young man that few had heard of and I am leaving with so many offering their kind wishes, love and respect. I am so thankful. You have provided so much for me and my family and I will be forever graceful to the game of hockey, the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings and most importantly, to you, our fans. “With the reality that I will no longer be a Red Wing or playing in the NHL, I realize there are a lot of people I would like to personally thank. “I also want to especially thank Mr. and Mrs. Ilitch and the entire Ilitch family for all their support over the years. They are tremendous owners and I loved playing for them. Similarly, I owe a great deal to Ken Holland for his understanding and support during the last few years in particular, but really throughout my career. Ken and the entire organization have always treated me well and he, together with all of the organization, are a major reason why every player in the league wants to play in Detroit. “I would also like to thank all of my teammates. We have had many successes, and many times fell short of our goals, but it has been an honor and privilege to play by your side. “I also want to thank all of my coaches, in particular Mike Babcock for his support, wisdom and guidance over most of my career and Jeff Blashill for taking over and leading us to another playoff year. I am confident that Coach Blashill will have a high level of success and will continue to add to the great history of the Detroit Red Wings. “Finally and most importantly, to the fans of the Detroit Red Wings throughout Michigan, the United States and Canada (as well as those in Russia and elsewhere). I so appreciated your passionate support over the years and truly enjoyed playing for you. I loved playing in Detroit! “From the bottom of my heart I thank you all for everything.”

his Name is Pavel Datsyuk... if he's to fade and stay in the top banner who should be brought to the image? Larkin, Abby, AA?

how do you see it affecting goalies or team performances this year? or it's not that big of a factor?

I'm just eyeballing here, but I think Hasek's were smaller

the equipment getting smaller hits next season right?

It was a tough series to say the least. I thought we were taking it when we went to OT

I don't sleep, I dream - REM

I was reading it, fell asleep and changed my vote too. It's all about rest. Hey, no backsies. You won't be able to do that in november"..." I don't see it as we took Chicago to game 7, I see it as we had them on the ropes and they came back. all red eyed, snotty noses, but dammit they came back.
