    Wings get aboard the marketing clue train!

    the fact remains all these little things help.. even if those people end up seeing a crap game..they still got to meet babs and some players.. great move

    Draper out two weeks

    now actually sounds like a good time to trade him to toronto for boyd deveraux

    Draper out two weeks

    the one thing i don't mind about this is that Franzen will go to the Cleary/Malts line and Rex might finally get some decent minutes. still sucks to lose drapes though.. i imagine our PK will take a hit.

    the PS is still a great feature of hockey

    bertuzzi seems scared to go into contact situations.. he's a non entity now most of the time

    McCarty is alive!

    i'd love to get mac back...even with a very limited role..sign him and use him as a black ace or something, or just to beat the snot of of tootoo.. anything

    Lecavalier almost a Leaf in 2001

    who the hell would the leafs have traded for him? considering the entire maple leafs playing staff is worthless?

    Djurgaden game is currently on

    would be nice if you could tell us where online we're not all psychic
  11. unless it's on reentry waivers, then it's 50%
  12. funnily enough though Gorge James Malik is about the most interesting of the Wings writers, even though he's technically a "blogger".. he writes the occasional article for A2Y and it's always an interesting read. his stuff's a hell of a lot more interesting than the usual manufactured crap the beat writers publish, almost word for word with each other.

    Jiri Hudler

    i agree with all. ZDH has stopped being effective for the time being. Split them up. i think Franzen needs to drop to the 3rd line. He's just not been effective this season. I'd go with: Hudler - Datsyuk - Homer Flip - Z - Sammy Franzen - Drapes - Cleary Maltby - Kopecky - Drake/Ellis/Downey.

    11/13 GDT: Blues 3, Red Wings 2

    Sammys out tonight so it looks like a Flip, Mule, Rex 2nd line. So... Wings 5-1 Hudler (3), Z (2) i think Downey will be in tonight, not Ellis. St Louis can fight so i think maybe Babs will want to back that up.

    Bigger nets maybe?

    goals don't make great hockey games. Great hockey games make great hockey games... the amount of poor high scoring games i've seen. The best game i saw the whole of last year was the Wings - Devils game, and that was what 2-1 final? i saw the LA / Dallas 6-5 game the other night, and while being a great comeback, it was a classic example of one team playing terrible hockey, and then the other team going to sleep. It wasn't a good hockey game.

    Looking for old redwings games

    i don't know of any sites with those. google video had a couple of old games last year (97ish)...i think they're offline now though

    All-star voting

    i'm suprised Dom's on the ballot tbh

    great illustration of talent difference

    Radulov is also only a 2nd year player. He's going to be a star in the future. I wouldn't write him off just yet.
  20. this is a really erm.... POINTLESS thread.

    Bloodlines

    as far as i'm aware Dean Chelios isn't projected to be a professional player (he was only a 7th round USHL draft pick), but then they said the same about his Dad and look what happened there...

    Watching the Ottawa vs. Montreal Game Right Now

    listening to it on the interweb radio here.. huet sounds like he's having an amazing game.
  24. err.. we're 12-2-1..we've won 9 in a row. They are the most dominant line in the league. Does it REALLY matter who plays center and who plays wing?
