    Tomas Kopecky gets punked

    The guy is a loser, he's such a pansy. He pulled this same crap this past year because he had Barnes, Amadio and Vandermeer watching his back...I was praying he'd get his ass kicked. I hope he never sees the inside of the Red Wings locker room

    Bootland

    No one had a good year last year..except for MacDonald and Kronwall. I'm also hearing rumblings thru the grapevine that he may not want to come back. I don't think he liked Greg Ireland....we shall see

    Yeah I agree....but he's not enough

    Teams getting tougher? Hmmm, imagine that

    Red Wings first tough guy invite to camp...

    Supposedly, after he went to camp with Hartford and was the last one cut, he thought his poopy didn't stink and he was a bit too cocky for the locker room. He's got some growing up to do, but he's worth the wait

    Red Wings first tough guy invite to camp...

    He's an Avery type of player, but more fearless and bigger than McCarty

    Red Wings first tough guy invite to camp...

    Yes, at some point he can. He has talent, he's not just an enforcer. He was very impressive when he went to camp with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL team of NY Rangers). He's still very young, and the problem he's encountered has been his maturity at times, but he's a fireball and has been very impressive whereever he's been. I have no doubt he'll stick around if he has a good camp, Grand Rapids wants to field a tougher team and right now, they just have Amadio signed, it makes sense to get a guy like Big Snake. I wonder if he is bound to play in Rockford this year? If he does well at camp, He could end up in Grand Rapids, and from there, who knows? Is it possible this kid could play on a fourth line in the NHL? I don't know this to be a fact, but I believe if he was to make Grand Rapids, he'd be able to opt out of his contract with Rockford given the AHL is 2 steps above the UHL.

    I mentioned this in another thread....shades of Chris Simon? and not because he's Native American either He can develop into a decent poward forward who can fight and is scared of NO ONE

    So Much For Vandermeer

    Nothing official, but I'm hearing he's told people that he's going to be gone. He may play in England this year or hook up with another AHL team or appear in another NHL camp. But I think his days in this organization are close to through, if not done all together

    Tomas Kopecky Signs 1 Yr Qualifying Offer.

    Grand Rapids....no way he sees Detroit

    Tomas Kopecky Signs 1 Yr Qualifying Offer.

    Maybe he can get a job as a hairdresser or interior designer if this hockey thing doesn't work out. He's the definition of soft, and there were a few players who did not like having to clean up his mess. When he played with Vandermeer and Barnes he was running his mouth off and using his stick....dirty, and then skate away and yell from a far, while guys were getting his back.

    So Much For Vandermeer

    Robin Big Snake is coming to camp with them FF24, in Traverse City. Well, prospects camp, but he always impresses and I think he'll get an invite to TC. Then GR would have him and Amadio. Ireland has been on record many times saying he wanted a tougher team

    More Eklund: Wings in Bondra, Hamrlik talks?

    At least Eklund's not pulling an Al Gore...."Of course, I invented hockey"......no way on both guys....too rich for the Wings blood

    and with their first pick, the wings choose...

    When did the Wings draft the lead singer of "Hansen"?

    lindros to bruins?

    I think he'll be in Toronto by Monday

    Wings and Brad Bombardir

    Pass on all of them....I pray this is not what Holland means by players with "size" and replacing McCarty.

    LEAFS-WINGS TRADE RUMOUR

    If Detroit REALLY wanted to trade Zetterberg, they could do a lot better than this. By the way guys, easy on Dom, he's reporting what he heard, he's not making up this rumor

    End of Palffy rumors for Detroit?

    Not enough money to sign Pallfy

    LEAFS-WINGS TRADE RUMOUR

    Hahahahahahahaahahahhahahahahahaha. This is Ken Holland, not Bobby Clarke, no way Holland makes this move, unless he's looking for a way to get fired. Toronto media are really desperate [De-stretching the text]

    End of Palffy rumors for Detroit?

    I hope we don't have a chance. From the sounds of it, we're focused on singing our own FA's and sign some size

    Yeah, so?

    So Much For Vandermeer

    It'll never happen, the players wouldn't stand for it. The play in the NHL would get even dirtier and you'd have more Bertuzzi incidents
