Hockeytown Red Wings

I too like Kopecky...brings some speed and grit...and isnt that what we need? Of course we'd also like the speed and grit to come with experience and 20 goals.

I think Nashville was asking for Kronner and Kenny told them to F themselves.

And I never said you were less loyal. You brought that up.

With that offer I'm not surprised we didnt get Forsberg.

Yeah, I got that.

Way to overreact. Not everyone got into hockey as early as other people. It's just anyone who was a hardcore fan then will never forget that goal or the circumstances around it. Wasnt necessarily an attack on you although I guess I can see why you might think that.

Absolutely. Perhaps an incentive-laden contract....

Not getting my hopes up...not getting my hopes up...not gett-- *passes out*

Who isnt younger than Cheli anymore? Why not enlist Larionov and Andreychuk while we're at it.

I remember watching that and saying "WTF MOWERS?!"

Hank proved he can do it in last year's playoffs when he was THE offense. If he has an off year obviously it'll be disappointing but he has risen to the occasion in the past.

Well, no, I say that because you referred to Stevie's blue liner as a cup winner, and we lost to the Avs the next round in the WCF.

Saw Shadows Fall live last year...used to like them but I've kind lost interest. Steve Thomas is a 4th line option...but is he even in game shape right now?

You werent a Wings fan in 96 were you?

To each their own...but Zetterberg >>> Datsyuk and is much more necessary for our future. Dats has the prettiest moves and shiftiness and when he's hot, he's money. If he isnt traded, and I dont think he will be, this year's playoffs should be the last straw. The guy is in his prime and he hasnt produced in the playoffs, infact he's been a huge nonfactor. You cant have a star player making 5 million when he isnt legitimately helping you to achieve your final goal. EDIT: This is not to say the recent playoff failures are all Datsyuk's fault. There are many other key issues that need to be addressed.

If you banned the rental player you're screwing over everyone. Lower tier teams need to sell players to obtain draft picks and prospects that will help them build for the future while contenders buy to get players that will put them over the top but lose some future. It helps balance the league and I cant see why anyone would have a problem with it.

By the way...something I noticed re-reading through this thread. Mudvayneowns...I happen to like the band in small doses, though I highly prefer Slipknot...anyway, you thought hockeycrazy3033 AKA Reem AKA Christopher Osgood's biggest supporter, was calling you an Avs fan, when in fact she was referring to HR40's avatar. People overreacted to you but we try not to have threads that make this one resemble the Avs boards.

Williams + Zetterberg's Magic Jockstrap + The rights to Larry Murphy = Smyth in a Wings Jersey

HR40, you were the first person I thought of as I hear Ken Kal yelling. Congrats...I'm sure you're swooning for your man tonite.

HOH, I know it'd be hard, but if we're down in the playoffs...try not to watch.

I'm working on it...maybe tomorrow. I figured it was you...I mean, Crymson1....it didnt take a genius to make a connection.

That reminds me, I havent seen norrisnick in a while.

Go to youtube and type dftns19 into the search bar. I posted Z's killer goal from G6 of the playoffs last year if you have the program to save streamed videos.

Hey, some of those are mine! dftns19
