IF the announcer you are referring to is Dave Strader, then no, he would not make that mistake.

Good deal! I think I said WAAAAY back on page 1 or 2 that Clutch would prove me wrong tonight. Could be a chance for an ACTUAL GWG! Good for you Clutch! Keep it going!

Ahhhh, but what would you give up for Selanne AND Perry?

It might not be about outbidding another team. Selanne gets to say where he wants to go(if he is going anywhere) and he has already expressed that he a Fippula have good chemstry together (although dodging the trade question) so you would think if Selanne were to give the Ducks a short list of teams that Detroit would be on there, if not the only one of the "Top Contenders" he may list. I'd like to see Selanne and Morrow, but that may be too expensive I believe. Selanne and Moen? Could be interesting...

at all the Franzen hate here tonight! I like it!

Way to go Z! Boy MaxINE is mad at herself.

Imo, Chris Conner is better than Mursak. He should be playing....

YA, DATSYUK HEARD ME!

Ok, this is unacceptable, its time for our top 6 to start playing like a top 6!

I would love to see a "Peggy" commercial with Datsyuk. Neither would understand what each other was saying!

Ya, a lot of folks didn't. I wouldn't have minded him here, but not at his salary. This may be hard to say, but I'd rather have Franzen at his cap hit than Jagr at his.... :puke: ...sorry, that just snuck up on me...I will get a mop. I am here! Present! Accounted for! I do agree with you though, it seems I had a ton of supporters over the summer in my dislike for the little Piddler, but I am proud to say, my opinion has never faltered! I am glad he is doing better, but only because it makes his trade value higher. BUT nobody wants him except Holland, so we will see him here again, for even more wasted cap space. But that is just my opinion. At least he is playing better...

I do hope a better team shows up tonight than they did against Anaheim. Let's tie the record in style tonight then make a new one against Dallas! Go Wings! Clutch proves me wrong tonight!

Yes, but I recall him saying the Hawks asked him to give them a list of 5 teams he would like to play for and they would try to accommodate him. Lucky for us, Detroit was on that list, despite his words previous to that date. Blue, I don't understand all the hate you get for making threads that include lines combo's. Isn't that an important part of hokcey, lines? I like reading them. I don't always agree with your combo's but that is the point right? With that being said, I am not so sure it would cost as much as Hudler and Kindl to acquire Selanne for a spring rental. Wings_Toledo is on the right track with Hudler always be offered up (I am guilty as charged) but really, unless some team REALLY wants Hudler badly, nobody that are sellers are going to ask for a pending UFA in return. BUT, they mayb take a lessor player and a higher level prospect for him, or maybe a couple of prospects. I am not sure. I would make one change to your lines though, I would swap Zetterberg and Datsyuk. Filppula - Datsyuk - Selanne Bertuzzi - Zetterberg - Franzen I would also like to see what wings_fanatic suggested with re-teaming Zetterberg and Datsyuk, but I would keep Franzen on their wing, because if Franzen was on a line with Fil and Selanne they would get their assess pounded on a nightly basis with no one to protect them. Having Bertuzzi out there would at least make other teams look behind their heads before taking liberties. Of course that would leave Dats and Z open for abuse then, because Franzen isn't gonna drop anyone short of punching someone after the whistle or game expires...

Funny how the commentators say "Watch the cross-check by Thornton and then Toews gives him a jab, Toews started that!" So even though you saw the cross-check, and even pointed it out, Toews still started it? Why because he just got cross-checked in the back and got pissed? So he is just supposed to take the cross-check and skate away? Why does it seem that Ken and Mickey are the only guys who aren't so Home Bias that it makes me puke?

I am glad you get it, but according to you and most people here, he is the most clutch player in the league with his 9 GWG's, and Zetterberg is not regarded as that. So, until Franzen decides to show up EVERY game, EVERY shift and EVERY minute and prove that he was worth keeping over a REAL Sniper in Marian Hossa, then yes, I will despise him and call for his head every game he doesn't do something to impact the game. Not to mention score more consistently. He scores a game, then takes 6 games off, then scores and takes 5 games off... I agree, Zetterberg should get some slack too, but Franzen is and was kept around to be our sniper, our scorer, they signed him instead of Hossa. Granted, Hossa has his playoffs issues, but Franzen hasn't lit it up in a few years either. Great that he has 21 goals, that just makes him that much more trade-able in my book. I am just waiting to see him be clutch, that's all I want.

Nope. According to most of you, he is the most clutch player in the NHL, so until he starts playing like it and actually puts in some "clutch" goals when the team needs them, then no I am not. Besides beating a dead horse means to keep saying something everyone knows is true. So I guess you think it is true too?

All you folks saying this was the best game you've watched or been too must not have watched the same game I did. Most of our players were invisible, especially Franzen who is supposed to be our clutch scorer. I still think we need an experienced back up for the playoffs, but if it wasn't for Joey playing a great game, the Ducks would've slaughter the Wings tonight. Perry may be a ******, but I would trade Franzen for him today. Too bad he isn't worth the spit of Perry, so Anaheim would laugh at that trade proposal!

I will say Franzen is absolutely abysmal! Clutch? Really? GWG? Really? When? He is crap. A we have a ton more years of his garbage!

Selanne, Morrow & Nabokov. Book the Parade... Will the trades happen? Doubt it. But it would be nice!

Fedorov needs to come home. He needs to see that 99.9999% of the fans here still love him and would LOVE to see the #91 grace the Winged Wheel again! Ya, it may not be for the REAL Wings, but still. This is a shot to get back in the mix in some form and maybe, just maybe, get back to the hearts of ALL of the fans and get his number hung up next to Lidstrom's eventual banner. He knows it, the Wings know it, we all know it...he needs to be here and he could come along with Larionov and Kozlov.

I would like to see Selanne here. He did say that he and Val have good chemistry and the way he said lets put it that way leads me to believe the answer would be yes if he would like to Finnish (pun intended) the season on Val's team and Detroit came calling. Not unless Val is going to be traded to Anaheim in a package deal for Perry or Ryan....Hmmmmmm.....

Ian Laperriere...who promptly got his ass kicked by Aaron Downey for doing it...memories...ahhh.

... except a Road Game.

Basically, I am all for a trade that brings someone in that helps this team get over it's road woes. They aren't going to win out the rest of the games played at home and they aren't gonna win all their home playoff games. They are going to need to win on the road if they want the Cup. This team is inept on the road, only getting points recently by winning or losing a shootout. Sure they won 2 games over the western trip, but they were shootout wins. I know it's two points, but its a crappy way to get them, plus they were that close to losing all the games...

Nah, he only played 4 games with us, you can have him. We'll take Wregget, you can have Frycer. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have Olczyk on your team so one of our guys can jam him through the boards! That would be nice....Fedorov - Larionov - Kozlov would even be better! Yzerman, Draper, Maltby, Fedorov, Larionov, Kozlov, Rafalski, Shanahan, Chelios, Ciccarelli, McCarty, Lapointe...I could go on and on!
