    Waste of cap. No more than $3m.
  2. Nothing like refs killing our momentum. Green penalty was stupid to take, but the Bert high stick should've been 2 for embellishment as well. The guy grabbed the total opposite side of his face that was hit. Oh well, when haven't refs been stupid?

    Dudes. I thought you guys were kidding about the Jimmy Howard thing, then I read this: What I like the most is even Dregs is saying that Jimmy is going to come at a considerable expense! Dominik Bokk anyone?

    Read the story today on Detnews, pretty much said they'd "like" to have him as a candidate, but they know he'll be in Detroit one of these days. So although they may call him, they know he isn't coming.

    Bob Probert passes away at 45

    Never stop shaking my head. Just when he seemed to have gotten clean, he fell again. Then when it seemed he really got clean, he dies. He was a nice guy, I met him multiple times at Metro when he couldn't travel to Canada, he used to fly NWA to meet the team at the next US city. Anyhow, looks like a good show, is it out? If not when? Thanks for posting!

  7. Howard for a 1st, I'll take it! Jimmy starts against us tonight, gets shutout. One more step towards Hughes, Cozens or Dach or Broberg or....lol top 5 pick!

    That was just a daily 4 number. I play small potatoes. But, I like the way you thought all those numbers out! @AtlantaHotWings

    Jimmy D is Senior VP and Alt. Governor, plus he is VP of The Tigers. Holland is Executive VP and GM of Red Wings only. He'll step aside as GM and remain VP, then let out of his contract when Seattle expansion is announced. Jimmy D has no reason to go anywhere. He and Yzerman will return this team to glory! But I have a feeling your question was sarcasm. I was looking into the crystal ball this morning...

    Yzerman will be let out of his contract after the turn of the year, he will step in as New GM of Detroit, Holland will step aside as GM, continue his role as VP until it is announced that he will be taking over in Seattle, in which then Detroit will be compensated with a 3rd round pick from that franchise for allowing them Holland. Tampa will be compensated with a 3rd round pick from Detroit for Yzerman. Also, despite being born in BC, he grew up in Nepean Ontario. They moved when Steve was 10. I believe he probably has more ties to Ontario than he does to BC. He most definitley has more ties to Detroit than he does BC. If he left Tampa, a great team, and nice warm place to live, in order to be "home" more, I don't see a scenario where he would tempted to move to Vancouver to be what he already was in Tampa. He moved "home" to be in the Wings organization. Here's a nice little read on him from 2008 when he was inducted in to the Ottawa Sports HOF. http://www.pressreader.com/canada/ottawa-citizen/20080110/281844344309192
  12. Problem.is you have 2 of the most average or worse goalies in the league and your paying them almost $9M. Hopefully Howard is gone after the season. Bernier was a waste of too much cap. Stupid...

    I am confused on who used to be who and when. Now we're saying centCougar is back?!? I remember that jack ass. When he was a "HUGE" Wings fan during the Suter/Parise saga, that is until I outed him from a Minny forum using the same name and was actually a Wild fan. Ahhhh, the good old times! Please, lets get some petition together to get BlueAdams back, as long as past members are returning! Who was that guy who first said "The Juck ******* Pott?" That was great!
  14. It's the blue jackets against the red coats. Hype-o-matic!

    As long as Chicago doesn't get anywhere near Hughes, I'm good.

    STRIKE. That is how they'll respond. IMO it's not the length that needs to be wrangled in, it's the AAV. You cannot even grow with a team and watch the same players for 10-15 years like we once did, these contracts are getting so ridiculous that teams won't be able to afford to keep a "core" around for 15 years.

    So Arizona just extended Chychrun for $4.6M per season, right off his ELC. 35 career points in 2 seasons and early this year. This league is headed for another shutdown.
  19. Guess you shouldn't lead the charge on talking s*** about your coach! Chris Wideman, pack your s***! https://www.tsn.ca/oilers-acquire-d-wideman-from-senators-1.1214316
  20. mostly just hopeful thinking! Well, Yzerman will. But he is easily close to being our best player. He and Larkin could take this team far! ...AA may hold out for MORE money than Larkin though.
  21. Just wait until we replace Kronwall with Karlsson next season!
  22. AA is our most clutch player. He and Larkin will lead this team to great heights. Sooner than we all think!
