This is what I imagine it would be like with Holmstrom commentating!

No, my buddy lives on Marco Island...he is a former airline employee from here (no, not a retired old freak he had to take medical retirement due to back issues) and he fly's her down there periodically...although...he is 43 and scores 25 years olds on a regular basis...good on him!

Sometimes when I see Datsyuk play keep away with the opposing players, I can hear this song in my head! edit: For the life of me I cannot figure out why I cannot post the video in here....

Eliot better NOT be Mick's road replacement!!!! Dude played like a minute for the Wings and only played 89 total games in the NHL...he may be a fill in, but I could do better than he could ever! I'd rather have Bill Clement! and I cannot stand him!

Uh, nevermind....I just looked up Gaborik's salary for this and next year....$7.5M....no thanks...too much money for next year...if he were a UFA after this year, then no prob. I would still LOVE to pry Bobby Ryan out of Anaheim, but then I wake up..... Rumor has Colorado maybe moving Stastny....he is a center, but I think he would fit nicely with Dats.... ahhh, dream on, dream until you dreams come true....

Yep, I think Flip is the obvious guy going to a playoff favorite....Him and Nyquist should get us a nice rental for our playoff run...

sadly I do believe we lost that game...didn't Shanny fight Tootoo? edit: Nope it was Hall.... Hey BTW, listen to the guy commentating with Ken Daniels, I think its Ray Ferraro! You can really hear him well on the first McCarty fight...how ironic, I mention him in the Murph thread and then one of his broadcasts appears in a different thread....nice!

I just happen to have a feeling that the trade will involve one Defenseman, One Forward, One Prospect....the question is who for who? There, aren't you glad I cleared all that up? Blamo! Juck F*cking Pott!

No thanks...I can do without countless mentions of Sidney Crosby during a FSD Red Wings broadcasts... Now if he wants to take Franzine's spot on the roster, I will sign that one! Can't be any worse! (quota met)

I can hear Holland now...we kicked the tires with Dekeyser and felt that with Cola coming back from injury, we couldn't offer Danny anything more than a #8 spot behind Kindl and Huskins...

If a trade were to be made, I would believe it would be for a scorer...I'd be interested in Iginla or Gaborik. I know those two guys are oft talked about in trade scenarios...I'd also like Clowe or Morrow... Who could we trade Quincey back to Colorado for? I am gonna break it out again....Franzine to DAL for Morrow...that trade scenario is always good for some controversial debating! Hell throw Jagr in too!

He will sign with a team that offers him NHL minutes...according to my source (Danny D's sister) Babcock has indeed told him that he has a spot in the NHL...just hearsay though, you never know what was said...

FSD has decided to save money by not hiring anyone to be between the benches. Instead the Red Wings are just to have Franzine handle it while he floats around out there. He has a great view by the way! No need for a Color Commentator to replace Mick on the road either...Franzine mic'ed up!

I wonder who you could be referring to? I certainly hope for a deal. I still think that some team out there is going to inquire about Filppula and Nyquist. I will repeat, I DO NOT want to get rid of our 1st round pick this year! Are you listening Kenny?

I hear Dom Hasek wants a gig! It would be cool to have Dracula between the benches! How about Sean Avery! I can hear his comments and see his "gestures" now!

yep in the WMU Season thread

Typical jockeying and being politically correct...nobody can offer any more money than anyone else, or length of contract. Babcock has already told him there is a roster spot for him, so I guess it just comes down to where he would really love to play...of course you have to at least listen to interested teams so you don't look like a jack ass to the league. Even if he has already chosen Detroit. I hope upon hope that he has chosen us! I tend to lean on the side of his sister, but who knows, maybe its just a feeling she has (probably wants him to be a Red Wing as much as we do.) I would hate to get stood up by a local kid who grew up loving this team and when that team offers you a max deal and guaranteed icetime and you still turn them down, that really says a lot about the current status of that organization...it will all be Kenny's fault for not keeping this team elite if they lose out on him....it'll be a sad sad day...

Ok, too bad for WMU, but I am starting to get anxious! I texted my buddy and told him to keep me updated if he happens to hear something! He is with Jenn Dekeyser right now, but they are in hanging out in Florida so he may not get the word before we do up here! Even though I seem to have been the biggest proponent of Danny D, I won't be too upset if I don't break the news! I just hope it comes soon! Nah, don't move Smith...keep all our defensive prospects and what we have past this year up in the NHL. With (hopefully) the imminent signing of Danny D, we have a young NHL core that will grow together and only get better and better! This will give Ouellet and Sproul and the others a good couple of season to get acclimated to the AHL and our system... If Danny is signed, I can see all three of Huskins, White and Colaiacovo gone next season... To start the 2013-14 season: Kronwall - Ericsson Smith - Quincey Dekeyser - Kindl Lashoff ....me likes!

Maybe they'll bring Ray Lane back..is he still alive?

just put the request in to have my buddy to tell his sister to tell Dan to pick #15 if he indeed signs here....i am so excited, hope it happens!

I cant imagine it not to be true. He was the one who first told me about Dekeyser and dated his sister for awhile. He still sees her here and there....i too hope her feeling is correct and the babs statement as well! I fully believe that Danny D will be suiting up soon in the #15 for us! (just a guess on an available #) Edit: another fyi, he just now told me and said the way she was acting, he believes its a done deal, but she just couldnt let it out before its announced....

Guess they were tired of the bumbling.... Wonder who will take over...i remember when shawn burr did some and so did.Ray Ferraro....and Doug Brown.

Ok ladies and gentlemen, take this bit of info any way you want to, with a grain of salt or with a shot of tequila! Just talked to my buddy who is real good friends with Dans sister, Jenn. He was with her last night and he told me that it is her belief that Dan is choosing the Red Wings. She also said if there is any kind of upset in the CCHA Championship, WMU is likely out and, heres the good part, he told me that Dan told his family that Babcock has promised him a spot in the lineup... Like I said, this is just hearsay from Dans sister, but I find it very excitable news!

8 yrs $35M... Eat Confidence? That's almost 2 goals a game! He frinking stinks!
