Nyquist scores!!! ...oh wait.

nope....because Franzen does suck and Jimmy did dive there. Funny you single me out when multiple folks complaining about them. What's your agenda?

Franzen sucks.

LOL, diving Jimmy was diving.

hey look , jurco is out there with pav and hank, even Babcock sees Franzen is dragging them down.

overdramatic Jimmy was overplaying jimmy on that one.

Jesus, get Kindl off the ice! and I really mean Jesus, because Babcock won't bench him...

Franzen brings Hank and Pav down.

bad call was bad...again.

bad call was bad...

Dam it! Waive Kindl already...4 shifts and 4 gaffes already.

I do like this team. Just wait until 3-4 more years! just an observation, I like Mitchell, but he needs to shave. You mouth looks like an un-groomed va-j-j...meh, maybe it's just me.

It's just so that said player can wear the jersey and skate officially with the team one more time and retire while under contract with the team that he spent so many years with. Classy move by the Sens, the Bruins did it for Ray Bourque as well. I don't recall if Gretzky went back to the Oilers for a day or not, but it would be a grand move for Detroit to honor Fedorov that way. He is already HoF bound, why not let him retire a Wing and complete his circle.

I am willing to bet that Holland gets either Mike Green or Brian Campbell... Something just feels funny inside about these two guys... (easy on the innuendo jokes! )

Very classy move by the Sens. Does anyone else feel the same I do? Wake up Mr. Illitch and Ken Holland! Bring Fedorov home for a day so he can officially retire a Red Wing! Prove to the everyone that you are the Class of the NHL! Fedorov is the BEST Russian to ever grace the NHL, he is easily top 3 Red Wings of all time. I don't want to hijack the thread, but I just think that the Wings should do the same for Fedorov. Congrats Alfie on a great career, thank you for allowing us to have you for a year, but thank you for not taking up a roster spot from one of our kids, especially if you weren't 100%. Thank you for not being greedy! (on a side note, along with Feds being brought HOME for a day, I would love to see the Wings "retire" Bob Probert and Shawn Burr from the NHL in a nice ceremony.)

well...that solidifies Cleary's bonus clause. He'll get his 10 games in now. Then Andy will take over. I highly doubt we'll see any "kids," not with Cleary and Andy in the press box...unfortunately.

Weiss again? Anyone still wanting to give up on him and trade him? are we really 4 points behind the leader of the NHL? maybe I heard that wrong...

As much as I despise him as a player, he is afterall, human. And a very caring and giving human at that! Very Cool.

uh...for some reason I thought Perron was a defenseman. Silly me.

If we could land Perron and or Petry, that just may give us a little shakeup that may spark something. Question, Kindl is already a healthy scratch most nights, IF the Wings were able to land BOTH Perron and Petry, which defensemen go? Do you think Q would be part of that trade or would we lose a prospect? I really don't like the idea of losing ANY of of D prosepects, XO, Sproul, Jensen, Marchenko, Backman, Nedomlel, Wheaton, McNulty and Dehass are all very important to this team IMO. We still own the rights to Almqvist, although I do not think he will come back the NHL even if his rights were traded. I know you have to give to get, and trading Q and K is not going to get you Perron or Petry, let alone both. Looking back at that list of prospects, are we going to have room for these guys when they are out of exemptions in a few years? Same situation as Nestrasil, you groom your prospects to become NHL ready, then lose them because you have no room on the NHL team. Do we risk trading one or two of those guys along with an established NHL'r? I know Edmonton wants a 2nd line center, Weiss is NOT going to waive his NTC to go there. I think Edmonton asks for Sheahan before Helm or Andersson. No thanks, so I think unless they'll take a 1st round pick instead, we are out. Sheahan is a no trade IMO.

Its just the sting of losing him for nothing because we have Cleary. If the Wings had signed Iginla, Heatley or someone that is a factor in games night in and night out, the sting would be far less if we had to expose Nestrasil to waivers. But, we lost him beacause Cleary is on the roster. Period. That is what stings the most. Most of us hated the Cleary re-signing, and now that it cost us Nestrasil (and think about it, it could have cost us Ferraro AND Callahan earlier in the season) for nothing in return, people are a bit bitter when he scores a goal in his first game that he is given good minutes to play. True, with the likes of Mantha, Pulkinnen, et al. coming up soon, we probably won't really miss Nestrasil, even though we did lose him to waivers, it's just that we lost him to protect Cleary. :puke: Damned if you do, fool me twice if you don't. It's just that damn Cleary guy...

didn't get to watch the game last night, but from the sounds of it, the 3rd period was a stinker... ususally I am one to fly off the handle a bit (no! you don't say!) but stepping back a bit, if they went 3-1 every 4 games I think we'd have a pretty good record and for the most part we would all be happy with watching that team. still hate that we lost a prosepect for nothing though. Dan Cleary is just not worth it. Good news is, Weiss is doing pretty good in his conditioning stint and will soon bump Cleary out of the lineup. Has Smith been injured? I noticed the other night that both XO and Lashoff were playing. Was he back for the Toronto game? As always, LGW!

Sharks put Adam Burish on waivers...per LeBrun twitter, sorry cannot cut/paste right now. Is he anyone that we'd be interested in? Helm and Andersson just to be nice.

that was nowhere near a penalty...not even borderline.

I agree with all of you. I want Weiss to do great. I hope he does, we've already wasted a year of his contract, and so far this season, he hasn't been able to play. I really think the potential of a VERY healthy Weiss lined up with Nyquist on his wing could be a nice combo. I am just so, so tired of waiting and waiting for a player X to get healthy and then hope he can return to form. This is the reason Holland doesn't do anything on the market to improve his team. He traded perhaps our top prospect last year because everyone was hurt, he had to, but it was still an overpayment especially since Legwand went on to another team. He had to lose Nestrasil because he is hoping Weiss comes back 100% and scores 30 goals again. Plus, we had no room because of the Cleary signing. I hope that Weiss does come back and returns to form, but it just seems like its a far fetched wish that will never happen...
