Its got a lot to do with the city. haha I didnt even notice that. Thats gotta be a joke. ...I like how no Wings were overrated except for Hasek.

Maybe its the toughest building to play in because its so ugly to look at??

Im sure there are some pretty good shut-down defenseman who have no trouble with him.

Sidney Crosby is #10 on the overrated list, right next to Dan Cloutier. Paul Kariya

I know this idea has been brought up many a time, and it seems some people are a fan of it, but is the NHL really that stupid (probably). What a bitter taste it would leave in the mouths of NHL fans if a European team won the cup. Not only that, but it somewhat demeans the regular season knowing that you wont even play another NHL team for the cup. Not to mention, the battle would be unfair to begin with since European teams dont have 82 game seasons. I swear. The NHL is concerned about its popularity, but now their actually thinking of jeopardizing ANY North American teams chances of winning the cup.

Toughest building to play in: Detroit. ....because Detroit is good at home???

Clearys a 20 goal scorer, Franzen has been awesome, Hasek has been reliable, Lilja is more physical, Schneider is more scrappy, Hudler and Flip have a combined 25 goals, Datsyuk is playing awesome defense, Hank is being his usual self, Kopecky was a little sparkplug when he was in the lineup, Lebda has been solid, Markov has been what is expected. I think Babs has done a great job getting top performances out of players. This team was not supposed to be a top contender at the end of the 06-07 season, and here we are. There are no easy teams, and before Babs gets the ax, Id like to see what he can do with a more gritty on-ice product. If he still fails then, we can let him go. We only have grit in comparison to the last few Red Wings teams. But Nashville, Calgary, Anaheim, and San Jose have a MAJOR advantage over us in terms of grit while still being skilled teams. Detroit is still one of the softest teams in the league.

Yeah Flip was on the GR playoffs offer. I hate to say it, but I agree. Filppula will be sent down to the minors and Sammy :puke: will be in.

Man....the Preds get half their season series against the AHL Oilers.

People look at how big Bertuzzi is and dont think he has the hands to go along with that body, but his skills are top notch and he is a very capable playmaker.

YEEAH. ...but I do wish we could score more than one goal. On the other hand, we just won a low-scoring, high-intensity, playoff type game against one of the most legit cup contenders.

Filppula rocks my socks.

way to create a scoring chance, ref.

typical sammy.

so stupid. just leave em alone if theyre coincidental.

Does Lang ever win a battle along the boards?!?

haha honestly.

Man....I was SO SCARED when I saw Lilja vs Selanne.

Nice to hear that Babs is STILL talking with Scotty.

Bertuzzi....dancing around like that. Nice.

If Homers out, maybe that means Bert gets more time.

Maybe Babcock made an announcement about how hes serious about sitting people if they arent playing well.

I was thinking that too.

Detroit qualifies as a good time?? just barely i bet.

DATSYUK!!!!!
