...well from reading all the responses here, I see I am not the only one who thinks Holland just fell off the short bus. Why don't we ban everyone who has an opiion opposite of "The Wings are Gods" "Holland is the best" and "Hudler is omnipotent!" that would make an interesting forum...

...he brought us ZERO stanley cups. Those cup winning teams were built by Bryan Murray and Scotty Bowman. Holland has done NOTHING of significance for this team, besides let UFA"s slip through his fingers and watch as other teams give up virtually nothing for something he says we need!!! All cause he is in love with Hudler!!! ...even if we do get Hossa, that's not gonna win us a Cup. Holland a buster and he needs to be shown the door!!!

...well everyone in the west is getting better. Dallas, San Jose, Colorado and Holland's team just lost 8 out 9 games and have seen their once unsurmoutable lead be dwindled down to 6 points. Teams have figured out Hank/Dats/Homer the defense in dead, Goaltending sucks, NOONE else can score, Fedorov to the Caps, Richards to the Stars, Forsberg & Foote back in 'Lanche country and San Jose is bolstering their "D" with Campbell... ...oh wait we signed Darren McCarty! Hooray! The Grind Line is back!!! Yippeee!!!!

...we trust this guy? He's brought us DISAPPOINTMENT every year!!! ...if he thinks that just landing Hossa will give this team a Cup he's an bigger idiot than I thought! He hasn't even landed Hossa yet!!!! ...Fedorov, Foote, Salei all players we could have gotten EASILY and he lets them go! I know what he's gonna say, "We were'nt prepared to give up what they were asking." BULLs***! If you f*cking think that your team is better off holding on the crap like Hudler and Filuplla and Sammy and whoever else isn't on the first line, then you need to check into a psycho ward, bastard!!! ...EVERY F*CKING YEAR HE DOES THIS TO US!!! We need a top6 scorer we need a big defensman, we need this, we need that!!! What do you we get? DARREN F*CKING MCCARTY!!!!!! F*CK YOU! ...this team will end up in the 3rd seed of the playoffs and lose in the first round!!! When the F*CK are we gonna stop believing that this guy is a good GM!?!?!? ...same s*** is gonna happen on draft day and then on July 1st! This guy has to go, I am officially handing in my Red Wings card, this team is doomed as long as Holland is in charge... ...Avs will make the playoffs, prolly play us in the first round and whoop the s*** out of us! ...Feds to Caps? You f*cking think Ovechkin is a scoring machine now? Wait till he has Fedorov setting him up?!?! Holland is an idiot!

Hossa - Fedorov - Foote

...good morn' everyone! How are we on this Hockey Holiday? Good Tidings to ALL! This is the day! ...everyone has theirs wishes, I am crossing my fingers for two moves: Hossa and the Fedorov & Foote... ...please, please, please...

...honestly what would it take to get Fedorov and Foote here, not as much as we'd have to give up for Hossa... ...make the Hossa blockbuser and then shore it up with Feds and Foote... ...right now anyone who does who's not named Dastyuk, Zetterberg, Holmstrom, Lidstrom or Rafalski can go for all I care...

...yep, I agree, I am crossing my fingers for Hossa, Feds and Foote...

...they say Columbus MAY be working on a extension for Adam Foote, who wants a 2 year deal worth between $3 and $4 million dollars... ...hmmmm if The Wings trade for Fedi and The Yeti, would that be too much to pay him? In your opinion... http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/cbj080225.html

http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=230593&hubname=nhl ...well it looks as if you can count Comrie out...

...make the blockbuster for Hossa, make a biggie for Fedi & The Yeti and then shore up with Comrie. Sounds good to me, whats taking so long? ...er, we may be able to exclude Comrie from our list... http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=230593&hubname=nhl

...sorry, that is what I call Adam Foote. Like Big-Foot, silly I guess, but ever since Colorado put that Yeti foot print on the shoulder of the sweater, I always picture Big-Foot, and well, if the name fits!!!

...there's gonna be a lot of pressure on anyone the Wings may aquire. He's going to be expected to deliver us form our sunk and get us the the SCF's. If we fall short of at least the SCF's this season and the trade will be viewed as a bust... ...so I am going to chime in with my $.02, At Any Cost (not including our top 5) get Hossa, Fedi and the Yeti...

fixed it... oops, that's the NHL's job!

...problem is, we have a #1 line and a whole team full of 3rd/4th liners. Hence I will re-say, as I said at the beginning of the season, a 38 year old Fedorov is still better than most of our team!

....and? I always post like that, it's habit, like a vice, I cannot post without them! I losin' it!!!!

...problem is, these teams are all vying for a playoff spot. So people are saying don't worry, the Wings will be fine when the playoffs start, well, don't you think the #7 seed will be trying just as hard to upset the #2? You read it right, #2 seed because Dallas is now only 6 points behind us and if Holland doesn't make a major move along with minor ones, we'll be lucky to hang on to #2!!! Right now, nobody should be untouchable excpet Hank/Dats/Homer/Lids/Raf... ...Hossa/Fedorov/Foote/Glenn Murray...

Amen to that brother! Hopefully Fletcher doesn't have to same waning opinion about Hudler as we do... ...hopefully not Kindl either. Maybe Andersson or Axelsson (Dick) along with Hudler and a first... ...I like to think we'd keep Kindl, Emmerton, Abdelkader, Ericsson (of course) and Helm. Maybe Brenden Smith would entice Toronto, but I am partial to keeping some North American prospects too... ...Hey, maybe we can offer them Grigorenko!

..and if he (his agent) expects more, then let him walk...

...i certainly hope McCarty is worth it! So much for McCarty not costing us anyone in return...

...I am willing to bet that the first goalie to suffer from whatever new rules are put in place will be JS Giguere...

...so I read somewhere (forgot where) that he'll be out a week to 10 days. That means he'll miss 2 or 3 games. That is great! It shouldn't effect his getting another Norris because his stats won't take that big of a hit in only three games... K00l!!!

...even if Detroit is offering the best package? I think whomever picks up Fedorov, not named Detroit, knows good and well where Fedorov is going to sign come July 1st. So, I would think that other teams aren't so apt to give up alot for a Fedorov rental (but you may be right.) Either way Fedorov comes home. If San Jose or Ottawa is offering up more picks/prospects let them rent him through the first round (HEH HEH.) We'll just wait until July 1st then...

...ahhh, but you do think that loyalty to McCarty trumps what Downey has done this year... interesting... p.s. response: I have seen Downey fight plenty and when McCarty got bought out, he barely fought anymore even in Calgary he barely fought. And when he did, he was less and less effective at it. Downey is a better fighter, IMO. Darren does bring in the experience factor and I would welcome him back, but not if it would knock Downey back to waiver's. Darren can be a Wing for life, he can, but if I had to choose who would be my tough guy, Downey wins hands...uh...Down...ey :hockeysmile:
