    Next Great Wings player?

    With Franzen gone, who would you trade for now?

    You bet your ass....lol

    Trade Franzen for a goalie? haha

    Now I really, REALLY like that idea... maybe I'd send them Stuart for Halak and Sergei Kostitsyn
  4. We will make the playoffs, as the #6 seed in the west, #3 in the central division... thats my prediction... I also predict that at some point this season Larsson will be this teams starter, Ozzie injured, Howard sucking being the reason. Those are my predictions, am I right likely not but its fun to try and guess.

    Osgood NOT Hall Worthy?

    Then why did you start this thread?

    The most at risk sports teams (per msn.com)

    NASCAR is for "Red Necks" not "Red Wings"... Silly...

    Team Russia

    Sounds like the truth hurt you a bit...

    My theory on why Hudler is jumping ship

    I think having a cup at such an early point in his career made chasing the money much, MUCH more attractive. He doesnt need to take a pay cut to try and win a cup, he's been there done that. So let the big cheques roll on in.

    Chris Osgood message board poster?

    He's a busy/rich hockey player, I doubt he'd have the time to see that post or feel the need to reply to it...

    What The Wings Should Do

    I think we should nix Hossa and go after Mike Cammalleri. I think he might take a long term deal with a good average cap hit more so than Hossa would... He's a touch younger and has much of the offensive production and his "D" isn't all that bad... He could be a nice option.

    A few players not yet mentioned....

    Nice to see another Islander on here!!

    Johan Franzen signs extension, 11 years

    370M Kronner = Roughly 44.5M USD / 11Years = 4.05M USD Cap Hit Yikes
  15. I''m drunk, but we all know that this yje goalies are letting in softies... and making the D look bad... facts are facts wether u like it or not dumbass!!!

  17. I'm a fan no doubt but reality is not lost on me, the team is great this year the goaltrending is terrible... the D is fine... above the NHL average so stop hiding your Osgood love behind that excuse ok I'm f***in sick of that after 70 some odd games. Fact is Osgood is playing like a washed up tender, which he is...
  18. Conklin has suffered while Babs was trying to get Osgood ready... something that just hasn't happened.
  19. Thats the more retarded thing I've ever read... Osgood is playing like a blind retard... he's not going to suddenly play awesome because some invisible line was crossed on the claendar.

    Ring Ring Ring

    We'll be out in no more than 6 games in the 1st round I'll put $ on it. Signing Hossa was a huge mistake left no room for a competant goalie.
  21. Well considering this useless excuse of a goalie/human being hasnt been able to lead the team in the regular season what makes him or anyone else think he can lead the team in the playoffs? Truth is he'll be a burden on this team for a couple of more seasons.

    4/2 GDT: Blues 5 at Red Wings 4

    More to the point he lost the starters role to Chris Osgood, thats why Hockey isn't his sport. I think the wings get bounced in the 1st round in no more that 6 games... that's not panic that's opinion. We've been less than good all season against the Preds and Jackets 2 of the 3 teams we'll likely face. -M

    Trade Deadline

    We're more likely to go after a capable back-up for Conklin, not a starting goalie to replace him.

    2/15 GDT: Avalanche 6, Red Wings 5 (SO)

    The best option would be to send him to GR for a some conditioning and if we're lucky some bottom feeder team will pluck this bottom feeder goalie off waivers, maybe they'll be blinded by his inflated career stats like many of the fans on the boards. Atleast that way we'll save half of his salary for the next couple of seasons... so we can put it to use on a player that may contribute now and in the future as opposed to last spring, which, by the way is in the past.

    2/15 GDT: Avalanche 6, Red Wings 5 (SO)

    Its not hate its reality... Osgood has 3 cups, 2 of which he was the starter on the team... in both cases he was on a loaded team. He's at best an average goalie.
