    McCrimmon, Salei on board Russian plane crash

    Really don't want to bring up this tragic event, but I found this episode of Air Crash Investigations that covers the Lokomotiv tragedy...thought maybe some of you would like to watch the episode...again, RIP Lokomotiv... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAuSaOZjSfk

    6-1-13 Deadline to Sign Players

    ...as of today, 5-1-13 there are three pretty important prospects that are without a contract and have a deadline set of June 1st, 2013 to sign a pro contract. Tomas Jurco Alan Quine Philippe Hudon ....Does anyone know what happens to these guys if they do not sign? Do they become UFA's like Justin Schultz did? I would hate to lose any of those three...

    WCQF - (6) Sharks vs. (3) Canucks

    Watching this video leads me to believe that the Sharks will be hoisting the Cup this year....to quote a famous Canadian "That's F'ing Brutal, eh?"

    Let's help a Red Wing win play of the year.

    Z is better, but the Matthias goal was the better of the two....sorry Z.

    Mursak?

    He had no future in the NHL....now Grand Rapids has a roster spot to sign Quine or Hudon....

    Abdelkader suspended 2 games for hit on Lydman

    That's nuts, was there even a penalty? That is shades of Marty McSorley years ago...but what is that Uncle Gary? We need our stars playing the games...not in the press box? Sedin should get a life ban for this, just like McSorley did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvDk7jtNNhc The end result was different but the intent was the same....

    2 Games for Abby, 0 for Weber?...We Deserve Answers

    You may just want to watch that DVD one more time...I don't remember the last time there was that much blood at a boy scout campout...even comparing it with that MTL-OTT game, 3/26 has it beat hands and turtles down... I do understand the point you are trying to make though, but actually fighting is part of the game and really has no stipulations that you will be suspended for doing it. It was a 5 on 5 brawl. If someone had left the penalty box or the bench or even a bench clearing brawl, then there would have been suspensions, but fights in a single game are not subject for suspension. edit: of course I am a little bias towards 3/26 because I was there in person...

    Creepy but Hopeful Pattern between 2007 and 2013

    So to remain opposite, the Wings will win game's 5 and 6...lets hope the 2007 opposite similarities continue with a Stanley Cup victory! (ok, maybe I am asking too much, but I am with them til the end!) Go Wings!

    WCQF Game 4 GDT : Ducks 2 @ Red Wings 3 (OT) - (Series tied, 2-2)

    15 out of 22 players below the age of 30....8 of them 25 and under....do you think we will hear about how old the Wings are for the next few years?

    Brunner...quietly our teams Conn Smythe so far.... It would be Howard if he weren't such an average goalie.... (sorry, that'll will never get old!)

    Ugh....please. I appreciate the connection you are making but please, PLEASE do not associate anything Detroit with Oprah 'I am the Queen of the World" Winfrey....thank you. edit: I'd like to see this ***** get Kronwalled...as a matter a fact I'd love to see her get Abdelkader'd...

    Wow, just realized, there were 5 playoff rookies on the ice for that goal...4 outright rookies... Brunner - Andersson - Nyquist Kindl - Lashoff ....where are my shades?

    WCQF Game 4 GDT : Ducks 2 @ Red Wings 3 (OT) - (Series tied, 2-2)

    He is still not worth $5M a season. I seriously hope he settles for around $4M. We need our cap to re-sign our rookies. Nyquist, Brunner, Smith, Andersson are all FA's that NEED to be re-signed. Brunner being the only UFA, but they are ALL very important to the future of this team (as they have proven tonight) and we cannot afford to blow half our Cap space on Filppula. If he won't come down from his $5M demands, he needs to be traded at the draft. But that is for another conversation! Lets enjoy this win and bring it home in game 6!

    WCQF Game 4 GDT : Ducks 2 @ Red Wings 3 (OT) - (Series tied, 2-2)

    It's so nice that the kids are kicking in their share! This is what Dynasties are made of! Not saying that this group of youngsters are going to be as good as our 90's youngsters, but this is how it was created back then, a bunch of kids growing together and learning together. I think that line of Andersson, Brunner and Nyquist could be a good line to keep together next season. Let these three continue to grow together. On a down note, I am not impressed with Sammy or Bertuzzi playing...they need to stop and they need to not be on this team next season... On an even DOWNER note....damn that Howard is average....

    6-1-13 Deadline to Sign Players

    Yes, Jurco is playing in GR. Red Wings Central stills list him as unsigned, but capgeek has him signed for three years... Quine and Hudon are not showing signed at either website. I actually think that both these guys did really good this year for their respective teams. The Wings have 2 players in GR that become UFA's this July. Francis Pare and Jan Mursak. I think they should let these two guys go and sign Quine and Hudon. Pare is 25 and doesn't seem to have an NHL future, at least not here and we all know the Mursak situation. At least Quine and Hudon are very young and can still grow and get better. Phillipe Hudon: 2012-2013 Victoriaville Tigres QMJHL 65 15 20 35 63 | Playoffs 9 6 1 7 6 Alan Quine: 2011-2012 Peterborough Petes OHL 65 30 40 70 21 | Griffins AHL 3 0 1 1 0 | 2012-2013 Peterborough Petes OHL 26 9 17 26 14 | Belleville Bulls OHL 28 14 27 41 6 | Playoffs 17 8 8 16 6 Quine actually has really good stats and I am perplexed why he has no contract yet. LIke I said, he is very young and would be worth the signing of a EL contract and see how he developes. Worst case scenario he plays for three years and goes elsewhere or he gets traded.

    Should Howard be benched?

    Well, Perry DID try to slice Howards head off in game one...maybe there is a conspiracy going on? Hmmmm.....

    ECQF - (8) NY Islanders vs. (1) Penguins

    Nice! I love it! It's about time that The Network calls out Sindey Louganis for the Olympic Diver she is....The city of Pittsburgh should be ashamed of this guy and he should be tarred and feathered....is it still uncool to hope someone Abdelkader's Crysby into retirement? Probably, but this idiot needs to be stopped with this diving BS.

    Abdelkader suspended 2 games for hit on Lydman

    /sarcasm/ You son of a blankity blank! Where do you get off coming here and trying to make sense of this matter! You should be ashamed of yourself, you should be behind bars! You are correct BTW...
