    Todd Bertuzzi's Shootout Goal

    The Todd has a pretty impressive bag of tricks when it comes to shootouts. Nice goal, there. You're friends with draperfan on Facebook?

    Howard's new mask

    Looks like a few minor changes. The Bauer logo colors aren't "reversed" in the middle. Also, the jaw line has been updated to make the retired numbers larger and more prominent. Also looks like the colors on the gothic "D" on the chin are reversed. Old mask, for comparison...

    LOVE it. Fantastic idea.

    McCrimmon, Salei on board Russian plane crash

    There's no word in the English language that could possibly convey how tragic this is. My heart goes out to all the family and friends of everyone on board that plane. The Red Wings, the NHL, and the entire world lost some of the best and brightest today.

    Red Wings Sponsor?

    Please remember, everyone, to keep this thread on topic about Amway's sponsorship of the Detroit Red Wings. If you want to discuss the political ideologies of Amway's founders, or anyone else for that matter, feel free to do so in the Political Discussion subforum.

    LGW Podcast Debut for 2011-2012 Season

    If it's "all-things-LGW", then an interview or questionnaire with a different member each month. Something like a "getting to know you" feature.

    The best deal that NEVER happened

    While I am grateful that Datsyuk wasn't traded, I would still think that the best "Deal-That-Never-Happened" for the Red Wings was when Jimmy Devellano was rumored to be in talks to trade Steve Yzerman to Ottawa for Alexi Yashin, Damian Rhodes and the Sens 1st round picks for '97 and '98. http://www.the6thsens.com/2009-articles/november/yzerman-to-ottawa.html

    Kris Draper announces retirement

    1137 GP in the Winged Wheel. 158 goals. 203 assists. 1 Selke Trophy. 4 Stanley Cups. Hard to find a better return for $1. Best dollar the Ilitch's ever spent. Thanks for the memories, Kris!

    Red Wings sign Ty Conklin to 1 year contract

    Considering that Emery and Turco are the only other options left, I would have to say "do want"... But since a picture is worth a thousand words...

    Red Wings sign Ty Conklin to 1 year contract

    Welcome back, ConkBlock! I hope this means the return of this mask...

    This is why Commodore was the best signing ever...

    If you want a quick laugh, go back and check the subtitle of the Commodore signing thread. Been making a case for this since I heard he was signing here. Oh please, Hockey Gods, make this happen.

    Wings looking at Ty Conklin

    I'd be all for it.
  15. Well... That was unexpected. Low salary because he'll still be receiving salary from the Jackets, since they bought him out with 2 years left on his old contract. He's big, and can be aggressive, and has the coveted right handed shot, so if he's effective, then it's a good signing. Now, someone needs to make sure he wears #64 this year. That would be epic.

    Wings re-sign Eaves to 3-year, $3.6m contract

    Can't find a thing I don't like about this signing. Good job, Kenny & Co.

    Wisniewski likely to reach July 1 without deal from Canadiens

    With Wiz's rights being traded to Columbus, I think it's a foregone conclusion that he won't reach a deal with Montreal before July 1st.
  18. Defense is the most glaring need this team has at the moment, so I highly doubt Kenny would be willing to forsake that need on the off chance of signing Stamkos. Big E was making $1.25 this most recent season (cap hit of $900k, as it was a staggered salary). So he's now expected to sign for less than last year? All the news reports are saying that E's new deal will be around/above $2 mil per year.

    Nashville's New Logos

    NP? They're the Nashville "No Problems" now? I'd have to see what they plan on doing with the jerseys before I make final judgement. But so far, it looks like they didn't do any worse than what they had already...

    Winter Classic Foes All But Official

    Here I was the other day thinking "What I wouldn't give to see another Pennsylvania team play in the Winter Classic..."

    Lidstrom agrees to 1-year, $6.2m contract

    Per Craig Custance's twitter... So is it a full press conference, or just a conference call? If it's just a "conference call", then it might be a "back for another year" type deal. Dear God, I hope that's what it is.

    Congrats to Timmy Thomas

    Easiest Conn Smythe pick since Zetterberg, if not farther back. He was absolutely lights out, and is well deserving of the playoff MVP nod. 8 goals in the final 8 games? Unbelievable. Congrats to Tim!

    No, No, NO! Jagr interested in Detroit.

    "Resign" or "re-sign"? Pretty key difference there. As far as Jagr. No thanks, says I. While he is usually solid holding onto the puck ( ), he never was as strong a two-way player as our system needs. If he's literally the only option we have, I suppose I would take him. But I wouldn't be too happy about it.
  24. And remember, don't do anything that affects anything, unless it turns out you were supposed to, in which case, for the love of God, don't not do it!

    Wojtek Wolski

    Drury, from what I've heard, might be bought out as well. Looks like Sather might be making room to make a pitch for Brad Richards on July 1. From ESPN, so take it with a dosegrain of salt. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=6643958
