    Advertising coming to NHL Jerseys?

    Bettman may have actually debunked this today... (crosses fingers) Per TSN, (last few sentances) reporting on all that was discussed in the GM meetings today...

    Get your green gear

    Ugh... Sorry. Just doesn't do it for me... Correct me if I'm wrong, but they are the Detroit RED Wings, right?

    Detroit looking to reward Babcock with long-term deal

    I'm all for it. Babs seems to be the perfect fit for this team now. It might have been a bit rocky coming in with all the veterans, but now he has a younger core to work with and the players seem to respond well to it.

    Can we beat 95-96 Regular Season?

    As long as we make it to the playoffs healthy and ready. That's what I'm more concerned about. It would be nice to see those records fall to this team, but I'd rather see them focused on the playoffs than the regular season records.

    islanders new jerseys

    Hate the #'s on the front. Sleeves are too busy. Glad I'm not an Islanders fan... SHHHH... Don't let Bettman hear that... Or else, it's not much a stretch to this... [attachmentid=487]

    NEW WINGS JERSEY!

    Well, the Wings don't have a tradition of laces on their jerseys. More to the point, the Wings have NEVER had laces on their jerseys... No need to start now.

    NEW WINGS JERSEY!

    Actually, guys, I'm not convinced yet that the shoulders have changed... Maybe I'm just seeing it different than everyone here, but look at the shoulder of the road/white jersey closely... There is a definite white part that trails around the unseen side of that sleeve. Now, that may just be the way that the sleeve is attached, but to me that looks like it could be the little shoulder extension prevalent on the classic Wings jersey... IMO, the jury's still out on if the shoulder area has changed at all. Unless someone has better proof out there that we haven't seen...

    NEW WINGS JERSEY!

    Well... in terms of how bad they COULD have been, they did very well with the new jerseys... I pretty much figured the jersey would be as close to the original as possible. That said, I still detest the idea of the NHL forcing this change on all the teams... *edit* BTW, I'm not buying one, ever. First off, I like my jerseys to be billowy & loose, so streamlined just doesn't work for me. Plus, I would never, EVER buy a jersey that has that damn size tag on the front of it...

    The Canuck Identity

    Nope. Only the Flyers & the Whalers ever used the Cooperalls, and only for 2 years (The Flyers from 81-83, and the Whalers in the 82-83 campaign). The NHL (thankfully) banned them in 1983.

    New (old) Rangers jersey's shown

    *ahem* NHL Board of Governors? Bettman has to have any of his decisions & ideas passed through them, since they are the guys that HE works for.

    New Florida Panthers Jerseys revealed.

    Ugh... Sorry, but the stripe at the elbows, the vertical striping on the front & back, and the red going down the entire length of the sleeves... It all just screams "Minor League" to me... Come to think of it, most of the new jerseys seem to be this way...

    Burke whining again.

    Wasn't Burke's very first b*tch-fest with the Ducks about how the Wings signed Babcock?

    Mark Hartigan same # as Pasha?

    It might just be the 13th...

    Red Wings Nation -This includes YOU!

    I'm in. Needs to be a weekend game, Saturday preferably. The 'Nucks game works for me. Just tell me when & where. I'll make it work.

    Anyone wanna see some REAL hockey?

    I was playing in a local roller league when PBH was at the height of it's meager popularity. I thought it was always fun to watch, given that it was always airing in the middle of summer. It was a good way to pass the time in the offseason, as none of the other roller/minor league games were shown here in Texas. Those Salsa jerseys though, are atrocious. I think I'm going colorblind just by looking at them... Though, as memory serves all of them were pretty bad... *edit* removed links from the post, as the pages have daily bandwidth allocations, which were quickly exceeded.

    Wings sign Drake for 1-year, $550K

    He's the pesky kind of guy that everyone says we need, and he's coming in dirt cheap. A good signing, since we're not tied in with his salary from the Blues. Plus, it still leaves us with room to find another forward prior to the season, or at the deadline if needed. Additional grit coupled with cap flexibility. I like it.

    Detroit Red Wings.com

    You're not the only one. Though, we may be the only two... Although the old site had very little pertinent information, I thought it at least looked decent. This one looks like they're trying to get EVERYTHING thrown on the very front page, which makes it look crammed.

    LA Kings Offer Hasek 2 yr 10 mill. Deal?

    I wouldn't doubt other teams are courting Dom. What I would doubt is if Hasek is entertaining any of the offers... This is just a report, so take it for what it's worth... (Link, quoted section is at the bottom)

    Wings still looking for a depth Defensemen

    Heck no. The guy who was first in line here in my town paid 3 of his friends $1000 apiece to hold his place during the day while he was at work. I can't compete with that. Besides, I'm waiting until the first wave of iPhone's pass by before I buy mine. Anywho, my previous comment wasn't about your posting of the story, BTW. I was just highlighting the fact that Kenny ALWAYS seems to say the same thing in regards to the Wings' needs.

    And in related news, the sun rose in the East today... This has been your "Masters Of The Obvious" news break. Sorry. Had to be done...

    Scott Niedermayer to retire

    Good for him. Athletes always want to go out on top, and he certainly did. Best of luck to him in his post-NHL career. On a selfish note, I'm somewhat relieved. That lessens the impact of Schneider's signing quite a bit. Regardless of that, Scott's had a fantastic career and won more Stanley Cups than most players can even dream about.

    Schneider signs with Ducks

    Exactly. Now if we can just get Kronner through an entire season...
  23. Jedi

    Other teams Hasek could go to?

    Well, Schneider's absence in the playoffs hurt because we were already down a regular D man in Kronner. If Kronwall can have an injury free year, then we're not quite as hard pressed to sign another Defensemen. Though, I do understand that's a pretty big if...
  24. Jedi

    Other teams Hasek could go to?

    From the Detroit News... Seems like they're just working out exactly what kind of salary to give Dom. I don't think there's really anything else holding the deal up. Besides, as evidenced in the previously quoted story (found here), Kenny wasn't expecting to be very active at the beginning of the Free Agency season anyways. They gotta take care of their own FA's before looking at who all is available/affordable.
  25. Jedi

    Schneider signs with Ducks

    Wow... The Flyers really set the bar for overpaying for Defensemen. Glad to see Anaheim follows the standard... Sad to see Schneids gone, but it softens the blow when I see how much he was asking for.
