    Eastern Conf.

    Ok...i'm still a little bitter about the finals last year BUT what are your thoughts on the east? If washington gets bounced in the first round...ugh and i HATE to say this...but I guess the pens would have the best shot of going to the finals. I think I just threw up in my mouth as I typed that. If they get back to back cups when that was supposed to be us a year ago....

    Yzerman May Leave Soon

    Does anyone here have access to ESPN insider? I can just see the headlines because i'm not a member, but I hope this isnt the case and just a wide blown rumor or speculation! I hope Stevie Y stays with the organization! Heres the link: http://insider.espn.go.com/nhl/features/rumors?&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fnhl%2ffeatures%2frumors (There is also something about the Hudler situation there too.)

    Where will the Wings play next year?

    I've kind of been out to lunch on this topic, but was it ever determined where the Wings will play next year? Will they extend the lease on the Joe until a new arena is built? I really hope this is the case. GO WINGS!!

    Helm hates Pittsburgh also

    I'm a HUGE Wings fan who lives in PITTsburgh....was at the game with my Wings jersey on yesterday and no one really said anything to me....this city is so bandwaggon its not even funny...and Pittsburgh as a city isnt anything to write home about either....it pisses me off when people here cut up on Detroit, who have never been there before! I've been to the D 6 or 7 times, all for Wings games, and had a great time!! GO WINGS!

    Whats up Detroit... Not a Pens or Wings fan

    Man you could not be more right. I also live in Pittsburgh and LOVE the Wings. Everyone likes to say that. It also pisses me off that they say "we're the real hockeytown". Yeah right jackass. Pittsburgh sucks. 3 good years doesnt make you a hockeytown. Listening to the sports talk shows in this city makes me sick. Like 'notapensfaninpgh' said, they dont give any credit to anyone else and think that their s*** doesnt stink. Biased like you wouldnt believe. I hope the Wings end this in 5 so I dont get annoyed with these dumbasses any longer. LETS GO RED WINGS!!!!!!

    Gonchar Believes Wings Lucky

    http://apps.detnews.com/apps/blogs/wingsbl...php?blogid=2953 There is the link. We've gotten a few bounces our way but c'mon. And yeah, you've outshot us (I dont have the exact shot numbers each game) but....I remember we outshot Edmonton bad in the 06 first round loss but a ton of them were from the outside, low quality scoring chances. Discuss! LETS GO RED WINGS! Hopefully we can get a BIG WIN tonight!!!!!!!!!

    Your Stanley Cup Final

    Not to jump ahead of ourselves and with all due respect to Chicago and Carolina... I think we are looking at a rematch of last years Stanley Cup Final, ladies and gentlemen.. I would like to get some INTELLEGENT conversation going on this...what do you think? My personal opinion is that I think it would be very similar to last year, with the same result. The Wings didnt lose anyone except Dallas Drake and Hasek...and gained Hossa and Conklin from the Pens. We are very dominant when it counts (knock on wood). I think the Wings would handle the pens once again, and i am a Wings fan who lives in Pittsburgh, FYI. We're deeper, top to bottom, then the Pens. They seem to of got some soft goals especially in the washington series. If we stop crosby, I think we wouldnt have much of a problem, given that IMO, we're deeper top to bottom, more skilled, and the Western Conference is way above the Eastern Conference. The Pens top 2 lines: Kunitz-Crosby-Guerin Fedotenko-Malkin-Sykora Counter that with Hossa-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Cleary-Z-Franzen I like that...and then our 3 and 4 is better than their 3 and 4 IMO.....but i would like to hear from Red Wings nation on this one....not to take anyone lightly, but I feel that Anaheim was our biggest fight....I feel good....7 to 12.....What do you think? LETS GO RED WINGS!!!!!!!!

    Conspiracy Theory: Detroit

    http://www.thepensblog.com/ Looks like Pens fans still have a sour taste in their mouth from the @$$ kicking we gave them last June, in a best of 7 series, which we only needed 6 games. HA! Make sure to click on "read more" at the bottom. This is going to be an interesting blog! GO WINGS!

    Line Matchups

    Holmstrom - Zetterberg - Datsyuk Filppula - Hudler - Cleary Samuelsson - Draper - Drake Maltby - Helm - McCarty Defence Lidstrom - Rafalski Stuart - Kronwall Lebda - Chelios Goaltender Osgood Dupuis - Crosby - Hossa Malone - Malkin - Sykora Ruutu - Staal - Kennedy Roberts - Talbot - Laraque Defence Orpik - Gonchar Gill - Scuderi Letang - Whitney Goaltender Fleury So the big question is who pairs up against who? I think the Draper line will be used against Crosby, and the Z line will be used against Malkin. What do you guys think? Plus, as a Red Wings fan WHO LIVES IN PITTSBURGH, I think its funny how on the talk shows all they talk about is the Wings being a ONE LINE TEAM!! You dont win the west with a one line team. I think we're as deep as anyone in the league.

    Out of town wings fans!

    Hey Everyone, I was wondering to get everyones opinion on this topic. I am a loyal Wings fan in Pittsburgh. Have always been and always will be. Now, every year around playoff time, people get on me when the wings lose...which is understandable, and all in good fun. But this year, the Pens are doing really well, and it could be a very possible stanley cup matchup Wings vs Pens. So, everyone like to talk even more... My question to everyone, especially those out of town fans, is wheres the line? Do you just take the verbal shots in stride or go back and forth wtih people that are like arguing with a wall, and whom you'll never win? I'm sure some of you have some good advice on this topic. GO WINGS!!

    Out of town wings fans!

    I've tried going back and forth with my friends before, and that really gets me nowhere. Now, i just let them talk and ignore them. They will try txting me when the wings lose or something stupid like that and i'll just not respond. I've found out that that's the best way because all they want to do is get me all fired up, and if i dont play their game, I win. Like the poster at the bottom said, you have to pick and choose your battles. I guess thats the best way of looking at it. Anyone else agree? I've never been spit on or anything like that thankfully. Thats taking it way too far...

    Out of town wings fans!

    I realize that sometimes that's the price you pay for being an out of town Wings fan, let alone an out of town fan of any team. But sometimes, people take it over the edge i.e. send me a txt everytime they get scored against, and it starts to irritate me, so rather than fight, i just ignore them.

    Non-Michigan fans: How did you become a Wings fan?

    I live in Pittsburgh.....I remember the first red wings game I watched was in 93. Game 7 vs the Leafs. They lost that game but ive been a red wings fan since. Even growing up in a city with Lemieux and Jagr in their prime, I took to Yzerman and idolize him to this day, and I still get chills whenever i watch an old video and hear # 19. Go Wings!

    We'll be playing Calgary...

    Looking at the remaining games for Calgary (@ SJ, EDM, @ COL), Colorado (@ Van, NSH, CAL), and Minnesota (EDM, STL), the most realistic possibility is that we will be squaring off with the Flames in the first round. I dont see the Wild losing to both EDM and STL, and the Avs going 3-0. I feel as though we can take the Flames in 6. Hasek is solid between the pipes, we have a good defensive core, and hopefully Bert and Calder, along with Franzen and Draper, give us the gritty play we need. Hopefully Datsyuk finds himself in the playoffs, Zetterberg comes back healthy, and Lang comes alive like he did last year in the playoffs. I know alot of people rather have Minnesota in the first round, and Im one of them, but I guess that isnt going to happen. Lets hope for the best. GO WINGS! Your thoughts?
  20. THe Pittsburgh "we cant get it done in regulation or OT" Penguins are gaining all of their points by shootout wins just like the stars did last season only to get upset in the first round of the playoffs. Someone better tell Crosby and comapny that there arent any shootouts in the playoffs...I think they are in for a rude awakening come playoff time... Thoughts/Comments?

    Sac. Kings scoreboard

    I KNOW this isnt a direct wings topic but..... I recently read what the sacramento kings did to the city of detroit on their scoreboard as they were about to take on the pistons but i mean Detroit already has a bad image, and everyone keeps hashing on the bad stuff that happens and not the good. No one gives credit to detroit that they hosted an awesome mlb all star game, or how they are trying to turn around the city. I mean im not even from detroit, but i love the wings, and i like to see the pistons, lions, and tigers do well also, as well as the city of detroit. As far as the scoreboard goes, every city in the US has abandoned buildings and burned out cars.....I would like to think that Detroit is an up and coming city........what about you guys? PS: LETS GO RED WINGS
