Its clutch time! Come on Clutch!

So, change the lines....get the game tied....go back to old lines....

Miller is Clutch! Ok Franzen, show me the light...

Filppula is going nowhere.

Ok, one down....its Franzen time. Come on clutch!

Will not be the backup....not good enough. There will be a deal this month.

You are kidding right? How many goals does he have when the game was tied? When the Wings are losing? Franzen useless...

Franzen useless.....come on sniper, show me how clutch you can be in the third!

Need sniper now....

Wow, Joey is in, eh? Nabokov coming up!

Hudler and Conklin for Nabokov.

Need Nabokov now.....

Are you kidding me? WTF!?!

Need a real sniper to make the powerplay better....Franzen? No show.

Gonna be one of those nights....barely even a sniff on a 2:00 5 on 3......

Need Nabokov to be goalie 1b.....

....as did Hull since he knew the Blues would never win one....must chap your ass that he won in Detroit...

Need a sniper.....

Wait so Hasek was going to the Blues as a UFA even though he was traded to Detroit BEFORE he was a UFA? Great story. I agree you can hate who you want....I hate a couple of our own players, but the topic was Players don't hate Detroit. And my point with Chelios was he said what he knew the media and fans wanted to hear, but in the end, given his choice of 6 teams to be traded to, he chose Detroit. Point was, you said your heard many players say they hate Detroit, but this is yet another example of a player be PC for the fans in St. Louis. Don't confuse heart and pride and wanting to beat the best team in the league and being tired of losing to them as hatred. I don't hate any of the Blues and would love Perron or Backes on our team...but also love beating them. Doesn't mean I hate.

What do you care? You spout off in your forum about how you want someone to run Howard and take him out, then you come in here and talk all diplomatic? Spare us! You just want Jimmy to play a lot less so your guy doesn't lose the Vezina to him and you will again have lost to the Red Wings in some way shape or form... Howard will not be tired come playoffs. This guy is the real deal, not just a one year wonder like Elliot. Great goalies play most games, not just 30 a year... When was the last time Brodeur played on 30 games in his prime? Thank you...have a nice day. If for some reason that 8th seed was Detroit...you would. Paging Dr. Holland, Dr. Holland, you have a phone call from Long Island...

Nope, you lose...Every single one of those players you mentioned would love to have played here and ANYONE on your team right now would welcome it. Do you actually think a player in a city is gonna say how much they like another team? Especially knowing that the fans hate that said team? You are a bigger idiot than I thought. Lest we forget that you come in here trying to act all nice and not jealous sounding, but in your own forum you say the things you say...Remember that Chelios "said" he would never play in Detroit because he "hated" them so much...need I remind you where Chelios lives and thrives right now? How long did he play in Detroit? Where did his kids go to school and where is his Son playing College hockey right now? I am not saying he is in love with Detroit and wouldn't have been happy playing somewhere else, but the fact is, players say things to the local media and fans that they want to hear. Why do you think Chelios gets booed in Chicago now? Because the fans actually thought he hated Detroit so much that he would NEVER play there. Sorry hawks fans... Bottom line? This is where a player goes to win a Cup, and I guess that in itself is enough for NO player to hate the Wings when it comes down to his REAL opinion. Oh and your list of players that you hate? Wow, those are some dirty cheapshotting players, I can see why you hate Datsyuk and Howard and Holmstrom, I can't believe they are even allowed to play in the NHL they are so dirty and cheap all the time... Must be genetics.

My uncles, sisters fathers son told me he hates them....other than he said she said, you just talked about how much the fans hate them.....

Time to acquire Nabokov. Ya, this may be a minor inury, but if something happens in April, we wont win with Conklin/MacDonald.

Those are my changes to your already great lineup! I also need to mention Adam Oates and Adam Graves, both of whom played here before their prime, but I would have loved to have on this team for their career!

Nash is at $7.8M, Suter will cost at least $7.5M if not $8M+, you have to re-sign Abdelkader and Helm who will get at least $1.25M and Abby getting near if not at $1M. There is roughly $25M cap available for next season and that takes up roughly $18M of it PLUS add Smith's $875,000. It leaves roughly $5.7M to sign another back-up goalie a 7th defenseman and bring up or sign a 13th forward. So yes it could work with Nash/Suter or Parise/Suter but only if Lidstrom and Stuart are not here next year. If Lidstrom comes back, that cuts out one of them. Now of course if Cleary, Filppula or Franzen were involved in a trade for Nash or Suter or Parise, sure that would free up much more money, but that is a big if... I would love Nash or Parise here too, and I think our #1 priority is Suter...
