really? I know Boyes is on pace to score like 40 goals, but is H. Sedin having a good year?

I didn't see that on, but I am sure it will be on again. I have Comcast too (I live in Westland). To get it on Comcast, you have to pay for the sports-tier though. I have had NHL Network for a good 4-5 weeks, I think. NHL on the Fly is great, with all the old games and stuff.

Yeah he played pretty good, but in NO WAY is he a popular player after he demanded the kind of money he did. Good luck...P.S. you could try Fanatic-U if you live by Garden City at Ford between Middlebelt & Merriman

that fight was the best I have ever seen from Sid-the-kid. A kid with as much talent and upside as him, and that is the best thing I have ever seen him do

That was the point I was trying to get at but I was too young so I had to go by my Dad who can't stand Melrose so I couldn't ask him....lol

What does he honestly have against the Wings? A couple reasons could be, I think he was a Maple Leafs fan growing up. Another could be he didn't get much of a chance to play here and maybe just maybe he thinks he should have had a shot to coach here, because of how he coached at Adirondack. By absolutely no means am I saying that I like Barry Melrose, but I think he is allowed to hate the Red Wings, if he so chooses to.

Our Guys UFA: Nicklas Lidstrom-give him 2 more years at $12/y Kris Draper-He signed Dominik Hasek-Even if he still wants to play next year don't bring him back Chris Chelios-If he wants to play he'll be back here Andreas Lilja-I say its 50/50 but they should bring him back Chris Osgood-depends Daniel Cleary-give him 2+years Dallas Drake-probably retire RFA: Igor Grigorenko-he aint coming back so whatever Valtteri Filppula, Jimmy Howard, Kyle Quincey, Jonathan Ericsson-lock them up long term (3+) while they are relatively cheap Logan Koopmans-WHO? Ryan Oulahen-struggling in minors I believe Other Teams: Sergei Fedorov-He owes us fans something for leaving like that and played for Babcock Todd Fedoruk-one word ENFORCER Bryan Smolinski-From Michigan, probably a little pricy though Sean Avery-likeable tough guy that never wanted to leave Detroit

Yeah pretty sure the Wings lost the rights to Liv..........but as for the best players, here is the roster # Name Position Date of Birth Height Weight Shoots Birthplace 2 Brad Ference D 04/02/1979 6' 3" 200 lbs R Calgary, Alberta 3 Mark Hartigan C 10/15/1977 6' 0" 200 lbs L Lethbridge, Alberta 4 Jonathan Ericsson D 03/02/1984 6' 5" 220 lbs L Karlskrona, Sweden 5 Jakub Kindl D 02/10/1987 6' 3" 200 lbs L Sumperk, Czech Republic 7 Garrett Stafford D 01/28/1980 6' 0" 194 lbs R Los Angeles, California 9 Evan McGrath C 01/14/1986 6' 0" 195 lbs L Oakville, Ontario 10 Mike Walsh RW 01/12/1983 6' 2" 218 lbs L Royal Oak, Michigan 11 Randall Gelech RW 02/02/1984 6' 2" 212 lbs R Wynard, Saskatchewan 12 Tom Galvin D 11/02/1979 5' 10" 190 lbs R Staten Island, New York 14 Carl Corazzini RW 04/21/1979 5' 9" 177 lbs R Framingham, Massachusettes 15 Darren Helm C 01/21/1987 5' 11" 185 lbs L St. Andrews, Manitoba 16 Ryan Oulahen C 03/26/1985 6' 1" 195 lbs L Newmarket, Ontario 17 Mark Cullen C 10/28/1978 5' 11" 190 lbs L Virginia, Minnesota 18 Jon Insana D 09/02/1980 6' 1" 202 lbs R Mt.

He had a number?

interesting..............

I enjoy the sense of humor of John Keating, and happen to think he does a good job with the Wings, and with the Tigers. If no one else likes him, it doesn't matter because FSN Detroit likes him enough to have kept him around for the entire history of the network.

You aren't the only one

Anyone on Comcast have it yet? I know Comcast will be getting it, but did it launch yet?

The names that come to mind are Lidstrom (Detroit), Modano (Dallas) and Brodeur (NJ), Iginla (Calgary), Sundin (Toronto), Roenick? Amonte? Belfour? (Chicago) and then some younger players like Ovechkin (Washington), Crosby (Pittsburgh), Zach Parise (NJ) and Ryan Getzlaf (Anaheim) would have a chance, but you just don't know....Also I think everyone on this board is tired of this whose number will be retired.

I know in the past Griffins games have been shown on Comcast Local, and I just got Comcast recently and was wondering when I would get to see a game...Also I know it shouldn't be in here, but when is the NHL Network going to launch?

Ok, it makes sense to show some games when they matter anyways.

SJ/FLO but I voted for SJ/VAN

Didn't realize Ryno was 6'4, can't wait till he gets here

It wasn't anything important really, just mostly stuff about Training Camp.

The question is Should it be retired? I say yes....But what should be asked her is will it be retired? Here I say no, because of the rare honor it takes to have a retired number around here! In any other city it would be, but not in Motown...Sorry Sergei, as if he even cares

heres another source Yahoo Sports article

Actually to be honest, I think the Tour de France gets better ratings then the NHL on Versus by a longshot. I don't watch it, but a lot of people do.........

As a Grind Line supporter (such as myself), that goal was a true unforgetable beauty!

For me the announcers are a part of the game. For example, I can't stand Andy Brickley, but when we got him last year a couple of times, I lived with it anyway, because the announcers are so important to me. I really miss the combo of Thorne-Clement-Davidson for ABC
