    Which Detroit Team Matters Most?

    well, personally it goes: Red Wings Tigers ... ... since i hate/deteste/have no interest in "football" or basketball.. if i did get interested in those sports, which i'm sure i wouldn't because i hate the mentality of the "celebrity" culture in them, i'm sure i wouldn't be supporting the Detroit teams... being from half a world away, i get to have thjat luxury of choosing what teams in another country i support. i can't give an oppion on Detroit or Michigan, having never been there, but i'd guess as with most of the us, "football" (rugby with protection), and then baseball rules all.

    No way i would ever purchase that crappy jersey

    thats a mockup, made by some kid with photoshop. or by the looks of it...Microsoft Paint we're all fairly sure here that the Wings jerseys won't look any different from that they have for the last 80 years

    Aebischer Signs With Phoenix

    Phoenix is going no where fast, so it's really a nothing signing.. he's just looking for a paycheck for a year

    Something I must ask....

    from what we hear he's plenty physical... he's not as fast as before his accident though.. his VISA's weird. Becasue it's either that, or the fact that his last club haven't paid him and he's gone to court before he leaves Russia...or soemthing... anyway, no news since the Development camp regarding that

    Confirmed on the AHL website http://theahl.com/news/league/index.html?article_id=7884

    how can you possibly know that? Hamilton's AHL crowds are less than stellar, and it's way close to Toronto... there's absolutely no guarantee of success.

    Why no Enforcer in Motown?

    it's just not necessary to carry one anymore.. yes Anaheim won the cup with an enforce. How many games did he play in the playoffs? 5...atoi 3:49.. how many did Laraque play? 2...atoi 4:24 Darcy Hordichuk? 2...atoi 3:37 Colton Orr? 4...atoi 4:57 Andrew Peters?....0... if an enforcer isn't needed in the playoffs...WHY? do we need one in the RS... would an enforcer have stopped Zetterberg doing his back in? would an enforcer have stopped Kopecky shattering his collarbone? would an enforcer been able to stop Samuelsson breaking his foot TWICE? no... we just don't need one

    and then maybe your team can get themselves above the cap floor.

    Western and Eastern Predictions

    potentially, yes... but the fact that almost 1/2 those games come at the end of the season tells me we could be in a hole early on, and might not be able to close the gap on the #1 team...especially since we've got 2 road trips in the 1st month of the season

    you can't not, although i wish our forward propects such as Helm, Emmerton, Mursak, etc were a couple of years further on in their development

    Brad Ference

    i wouldn't say that personally yet.. although i'm not willing to say he sucks untill i've actually seen him play a game for us... if he's a -4 on 7 minutes of ice time, then i'll probably confirm that he sucks, but hey....we spent the last 2 years hating Lilja, and now we don't...well most of us...

    yeah i know.. starring Michelle Ryan whose claim to fame is that she played a slapper in Eastenders (soap opera over here).. if it lasts more than 1/2 a season i'll be amazed

    i don't see him being a Cleary. Cleary was brought in because we were in cap trouble after the lockout, he was cheap and we had a lack of fowards.. we're not in cap trouble anymore, and we don't have a lack of defensemen.. if you count quality prospects as well we've got: Lidstrom Rafalski Kronwall Lilja Lebda Chelios Quincy Meech Ericsson Kindl... we're certainly not short on depth. I can only see Ference being in GR, unless he was hired SPECIFICALLY to be the #7 D, which i just don't see because it was reported that Holland was still trying to sing Markov after we signed Ference. just my take on it

    when we traded for Bertuzzi the board crashed. it came back up with about 15 "wings get bertuzzi" threads all created by different people at the same time.. who'd have guessed after all that excitment the guy would be such a waste of a roster spot

    In my perfect NHL....

    :put teams in Seattle, Quebec City, Winnipeg and Hamilton, either by expansion or relocation :fix the damn schedule :put the wings in the east :sack bettman :lose the instigator

    i hope it goes through.. Nashville deserves to keep the team for at least a few more years

    Roenick not retiring.......yet

    i got nothing against JR... i always liked him, but he's way past his prime now and his last two seasons have been appalling.. i would think most teams would prefer to bring up a minimum wage prospect rather than have JR in the line up. They'd certainly get more out of it in the long run. say we had a 4th line spot open...would you bring up Helm, or sign JR?

    Roenick not retiring.......yet

    makes no difference really.. i'll be amazed if anyone picks him up
