When the hawks lose they have no one to blame but the media!!!

All wings fans represent the D and are Tigers fans too or they are not down with the Mike I and the Little Caesars possee. No one likes the red sux, their obnoxious fans or the city of boston for that matter.

Add me, foote, modano, forsberg, chelios, sakic, leetch, and hull come out of retirement, and we have the best 1998 NHL team in the league to go with draper, homer, lids, etc.

let's hope draper, lidstrom, homer, ozzie, and maltby all retire...NOT!!! Ditch williams, bertuzzi, and lebda

4 goals per game and howard is still starting over a goalie with 3 cup rings and 4 finals appearances...hoe babcock know what he is doing...

Buy only official merchandise and support your team and Gary Bettman!!! :flush: :rotflmao:

Just flunk them all...they will just end up working at a steel factory anyway :tease:

Ray Sheppard, Paul Yzerbart, Paul Coffey, Steve Duschene, etc. help me complete the list... I figure we can add Glass Jaw and Hossa to that list as well... Detroit has a solid system in place...that is why guys like Cleary, Samuelsson, etc. can step in and play out of their minds and then disappear after they leave town...like Sheppard, and Yzerbart, etc.

I have been a wingns fan for over 25 years. In recent times, keeping up with the rosters of our favorite teams has been a challenge. Teams and fans have this win now, and forget about tomorrow mentality. What has made the red wings so special is that players have a chance to stay here for their entire careers like Yzerman, Lidstrom, Holstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, etc. players have the chance to leave and come back, like Osgood, Kocur, McCarty, and others have the chance to find a home, and stay 15+ years, Draper, Maltby, etc. With the wings, I can follow a player and watch them grow and transform from an offensive speedster like Yzerman to a masterful defender in his later years...from a checker like Maltby to a grizzled vet. We know that they players with the wings are part of the community and part of the red wings famliy. If you put in the work, the wings fans respect you. It takes a rare breed to be a red wing for life...Fedorov, Hossa, etc. didn't have what it takes... How many tigers, pistons, and lions have done this? Trammell, Whitaker, Dumars, Isiah...that was 15 years ago. Barry...he quit early. It only happens with the red wings. Players that stay in one city their career are special, and far and few between in the NHL these days...Brodeur, Sakic...not too many out there these days that are synonomus with their teams. In the NBA...who can keep up with Shaq's team hopping. Very few "legends" team hop like Hossa or Shaq. While players like Hossa, Bourque, etc. may have success or ride someone else coattails to the cup (or try to in Hossa's case), they leave no legacy. Borque could not get it done in Boston, so he begged his way to a trade (like Chelios to win a cup). They are just a replaceable part in the machine that is the NHL. In 5 years, will Hossa or Chelios even be relevant? The wings have a plan, and with 6 western conference championships cups since 1995, and 4 stanley cups, I will not argue with that plan. The blackhawks can have Hossa and his buddy Glass Jaw! I like Cheli, but he needs to hang 'em up!!! Go wings! Win the cup in 2010 the old fashion way with home grown talent.

hindsight is always 20/20: http://thegregger63.wordpress.com/category/uwe-krupp/ Let's talk about Hossa at this time next year and see how we all feel!

No, they aren't saying that, the hawks just paid them more. We did want glass jaws dead weight on the roster anyway!!! We still have Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, Cleary, Filppula, Helm, and Lidstrom, Kronwall, Ericsson on D. I would take that over Chicago's 6 F's and top 3 D any day of the week.

Bettman wants Crosby to have it more than he does. Cindy doesn't deserve the cup!!! http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/style_em...ult/ranting.gif

This is why you are all freaks on the internet and not Mike Babcock!!!!http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ranting.gif

Thanks for your 2 cents Gary Bettman...how was Phoenix yesterday!!!http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ranting.gif

RAfalski will score the game winner!!!

lets bench osgood too...if he would have stopped all those goals...and if datsyuk would have scored more...let's stick with the guys who got us here!!! GO WINGS!!!

you can also get them off NHL.com and usually find a coupon code to get them for a discount. That is what i did last year. got 20% off my stanley cup champs stuff and free shipping. Just do a google search for NHL.com promo code You will have it in a few days and won't have to fight the crowds. they will post the stuff right after the game.

I would tell him to "duck and cover" like my old teammate "the :flush:

The NHL needs the custom option that the NBA and MLB have on their sites!!!

The award should go to Malkin & Cindy regardless of who wins.....according to Bettman!!!

Which turd do you like better, both are stale and old, one is hairy (lang), and the other is clumpy (drake)? :flush:

And UWE KRUPP was a great signing too!!!

Don't ever question the heart of a team if you are not on the team. The wings could have rolled over and played dead last night, but fought back and almost did it. There is a lot of fight left in the wings for the future!

Lets get rid of Osgood & Kronwall...neither one of then did sh*t in the playoffs :idea: . Resign Lang, Bert & Ernie. Trade Lidstrom he is soft and no team has ever or will ever win the cup with a Defenseman from Sweeden as the captain. Fire Babs and bring in Don Cherry as the coach...we need a new goalie too. We need a big body too...who can we get...maybe UWE KRUPP & Kocur to add some toughness! Just kidding. The wings had a great season, and over acheived. Let's see what they do in the off season. They have adjusted well to life in the new NHL.
