Ya, you better call him your Buddy after he recinded Malkin's instigator, essentially handing you guys game three and the Cup...

Uh..... isn't it a little early for this? Why don't you guys come back on Jan 31st? We aren't playing each oher until then and by then the Steelers season will be over and you can devote all your attention to the OTHER sport in your town. Because we all know a Penguins fan is only a fan once the Steelers arent on. It's fact, don't try to deny it. Enjoy your Cup, just don't fall to hard off the Wagon when they don't repeat...

Travis Moen 1, Jason Williams 0.

played.like.s***.

so I guess that would mean DirecTV would stop broadcasting all NBC channels then right?

Welcome back Hockey!!!! Uh.... Did I see it correctly that VERSUS is doing the Wings game Friday night? So, I am gonna miss the season opener because of DirecTV not having VERSUS? All because Comcast raised the price of he network? There is gonna be hell to pay now! I hope there wont be any little kids reading the emails I plan to send Comcast and DirecTV!

at least we wont have to hear how the Sharks are the favorites any longer, eh?

while we're at it, check out his OTHER son Frederick with his nice cross check! WHat is in the Roy's DNA? The Roy's are Dicks!

As much as J. Roy should be held accountable for this, what about daddy? Here in this video he is clearly seen telling his son to go get the other goalie, and then after the game he is telling reporters that he waive his hand high in the air and told Johnnie "NO!" But clearly it is caight on video he is waiving him down the ice and shaking his head yes. Too bad I don't speak french or I could tell what was being said...

Waive him, send him down, trade him, whatever, just give it up. Everytime he makes a save, he can NEVER control the rebound. When the regular season starts, we'll be doomed. Heaven forbid OSgood gets hurt for the playoffs, and we have to rely on Howard as the starter? This guy just doesn't have it. No offense Jimmy, but it's over. Good lucj with whomever picks you up...

is this game on the tube tonight? or maybe a feed from somewhere? Nevermind, duh!

F@CK ME!!!

pretty much just like 2001 with Osgood, the Wings' hands are tied with Howard and the other 29 teams know this, so there will be no offers for him they would just wait to claim him off of the waiver wire. Obviously the rest of the league has very little confidence also or there would be trade offers for him from a team way down the waiver list. He isnt held too highly in the NHL, so no team is gonna get into a bidding war with another for him, he just isn't that well regarded in the NHL. (seems the fans aren't the only one curious as to why it took him so many years to make the NHL and only then by being out of options.) You are right though in your assumption that Holland has to have a little bit of confidence in him or he would already be waived regardless of losing him. Here's to hoping Holland is right!

Ya, and probably his salary expectations were a little higher too. G.D. you Hudler, I hope you rot in Russia! Why dont look up your old buddy Butsyev and hang out with him?!?!? I still think Bert/Moen/Malhotra are leaps and bunds better than Bert/Williams/Eaves.

I agree, nobody thought we could win in 08 either. BUT, with finding out what Malhotra signed for in San Jose, I think (as I mentioned in the Malhotra thread) for the money spent, I believe our chances would be even greater if we had spent the roughly $4M on Bertuzzi, Moen & Malhotra as opposed to Bertuzzi, Williams & Eaves. The difference is $200,000, Holland spent $3.5M on the UFA's he singed, it would have been $3.7M opting for Moen & Malhotra...

Malhotra for $700,000? Nah! I'd much rather have Jason Williams for $1.5 million! Serioulsy, I had heard (maybe in here) that Malhotra's camp contacted Holland prior to the whole Hudler fiasco and Holland wasn't interested. I wonder what Manny's terms were back then because I would think that $700,000 for a year is exactly the kind of contract Holland would like. Not saying anything bad about Holland, or not insuiating ANYTHING else, but Malhotra & Moen at $2.2M is a helluva ton better on ice than Williams and Eaves at $2.0M. Added Bertuzzi, I would think a lineup with Bertuzzi - Moen - Malhotra would be a little harder to play against than Bertuzzi - Williams - Eaves... I'm just saying...

because haven't you heard? Howard wears a Winged Wheel now so everyone HAS to like him and tout him as the next one to take us to the Cup! All Hail anyone who wears a Wings sweater! They must be Gods of Hockey! (well except of Crosby, he's THE God of Hockey, right Bylsma?)

Howard can not, and has never been able to control his rebounds. He can't even keep the puck in his glove when he makes a glove save. Sure, give him a chance, but with his inconsistancies and horrid, absolute horib puck control, he won't last too long in most games that he starts. Oh, those two goals that were redirects? Oh yeah, they were second shots off of rebounds! Hey snazzy, why dont you step in front of me when I pull the trigger? Because God knows if everyone doesn't worship ANYONE who dons the Winged Wheel, they are bandwagon, poor excuse of a human being and a pathetic excuse of a Wings fan right? Oh yeah, I forgot uninformed and should just end their lives right this second, because heaven forbid someone have a negative opinion of a Red Wing... Here's some news Snazzy, et al. Just because someone wears the Red Wings Sweater doesn't make them the bestest most awesomest player to ever play. I think rose color glasses are a stretch for you, you went right for the Scott Summers brand...

I know, it is pre-season for me too! I am just practicing and seeing who will replace Hudler on my crap list this year....

Jason Williams: Un.Im.Pressive. Hope he pans out, because Travis Moen @ $1.5M looks better than Williams @ $1.5M, I dont care that Williams is only 1 year either. Moen is worth 3 years.

Dont u mean Cirgei? Or that Greek Russian Tsergei Fedaroff...

Ya, Hey Todd how do you like being back in Detroit? "I like It" Hey what about Calgary? And Calgary? And the Flames? And Iginlia? How's Calgary? Bouwmeester? Jerome? FLames? Calgary? Money? FLames? Kipper? Keenan? Flames? Calgary? Flames? Calgary? Well that concludes our interview with the newest and once again Detroit Red Wings forward, Todd Bertuzzi. Good luck to the Calgary Flames... Todd, anything else you may want to add about the Flames? What about Jerome? Calgary? Calgary? Ok, good luck in Calgary...

Sens win. I would love to have Michalek and Cheechoo, and Ooooh what fun Holland would have with that 2nd rounder! Trade the Sens Hudler for them! Call it now, Detroit vs. Ottawa Stanley Cup 2010!

of course he did, now that he is signed for 100 years, he'll play like Grigorenko! This is just great!

Well after 19 years of pretty much being the best NHL Franchise. Most 100 point season, most President Trophies, most playoff appearances, oh and yeah, MOST STANLEY CUPS. I think there are 28 other teams in the league, not named Columbus, who are tired of seeing the Wings on top, its not like nobody has made us bleed before (Colorado, New Jersey, Los Angeles, San Joe, Anaheim) bleed we do, die NEVER! ...ahhhhh, life is good! It's hard to be humble, when you're so good!
