    The 2008 Trade Deadline Thread

    I have a feeling Holland will land Stuart and maybe a Cory Cross type trade for a forward, at best. I hope I'm wrong. (though I wouldn't mind Stuart).

    The 2008 Trade Deadline Thread

    Any time this site lags for a second while loading, I keep thinking that Kenny made a huge trade and I'm not able to find out what it was.

    The 2008 Trade Deadline Thread

    If Holland pulled that off, there would be a lot of people here needed to drink a big gulp of STFU.

    The 2008 Trade Deadline Thread

    *yawn* it cracks me up when people on a fan forum on the internet call the other person an internet nerd. Are we not both on the internet on a Red Wings fan site? Ohhh, but you're the really cool one, right? there'd be nothing to complain about if people had a 3rd grade reading comprehension level or above and would actually use some common sense. is "ALL TRADE INFO/DISCUSSION HERE" unclear?

    The 2008 Trade Deadline Thread

    simply stop making them and it will never be a problem. That's why the mods pin a thread that says "ALL TRADE INFO/DISCUSSION HERE." Is it a reading comprehension problem? or do people just think they're they exception?

    The 2008 Trade Deadline Thread

    that might hurt my feelings if I gave a rats ass what you thought, and it's no surprise you're lonely. Thanks for the personal attack though. The point you seem to be missing is crap like this actually makes this site worse. It's a great place to go for deadline info, but multiple threads are stupid.

    Or Holland just didn't want him.

    Brian Burke Says Something Smart

    I agree with that. The thing is, the Wings picking up some 2nd line scoring and/or a physical defenseman aren't reactionary trades. They needed those before any other team made a move.

    The 2008 Trade Deadline Thread

    Sorry, but I think it's ridiculous too. There's a pinned thread that says "All trade info/discussion" yet people keep creating multiple threads for every trade that happens. it's annoying and makes it harder to discuss anything when there's multiple threads about the exact same trade.

    The 2008 Trade Deadline Thread

    what, you think three threads about Feds being traded (not including the Trade Deadline thread which says "all trade deadline moves/discussion here") is too many?
  13. haroldsnepsts

    What happened, Holland? Cap space for what?

    Did the deadline pass already and I missed it?

    The Official "Pierre McGuire's a Jerk" Thread.

    No. A lot of commentators have insightful comments about the Wings that are less than flattering. With McGuire though, it's constant and often overblown. My main problem is having to listen to him during games. That's when he's falling all over himself to praise other teams and rarely finds anything positive to say about Detroit. Like I said, the last game I watched Eddie actually challenged him on a couple of the more ridiculous comments he made and sort of corrected him.

    McCarty officially signs with Wings

    It was more than drifting apart. The quotes I read from Draper made it pretty clear that Mac was into things that weren't good and was going down a road Draper had no interest in. I don't think he personally screwed over Draper or anything, but it wasn't just losing touch. It sounded like a conscious choice by Drapes.

    The Official "Pierre McGuire's a Jerk" Thread.

    I can't stand him. It's not like some of the things he says aren't legit. For some reason he does come off as extremely biased against the Wings, no matter who they're playing. The other team takes a penalty and it's a soft call. The Wings take a penalty and it's a great example of the league's zero tolerance on hooking and obstruction. Eddie Olczyk even ends up correcting some of Mcguire's comments about the Wings because he overstates them.

    Pronger leaves game with jaw contusion

    First off, Selanne is a great player and is exactly what the Wings need. A talented scorer who can handle physical play. We would be scary good with him in the lineup. Second, grow up.

    Forsberg signs with Colorado

    all right, I originally defended the guy when he said he wasn't coming back because he wasn't healthy enough. But now he either miraculously healed, or he was being a primadonna/playing teams against each other. Floppa is a great player, but reaffirms what a douchebag he is too.

    McCarty officially signs with Wings

    It's great for Mac. I'm not sure how good it'll be for the Wings. I'd love for him to come back and have some impact, but have fairly low expectations. And this better be an added bonus low-risk signing, and not Holland thinking he actually made a helpful deadline move.

    MIA : Secondary Scoring

    It's somewhat beating a dead horse, but it's no surprise secondary scoring is MIA. It was thin from the very start of the season. Someone had to step up in a big way--Flip, Hudler, Sammy--which was a stretch in the development of any of those guys. For a while it looked like that may happen. Now they've come back down to earth and played about the level as expected. Actually, Sammy has played below the level I expected.

    Pronger leaves game with jaw contusion

    Wow. a 4 page thread on a Pronger injury here @ LGW.com? He must be doing something right. EDIT: for the record I can't stand Pronger, but also can't deny his ability and I also remember that I hated Chelios even more when he was a Blackhawk than I hate Pronger. And in spite of what people may claim or how they explain it away, Cheli was easily as nasty as Pronger. He didn't change his game because he came to the Wings and "got classy." He got older and outsized and had to change his game to succeed in the NHL. If Pronger were on our team we would likely be explaining away his sometimes dirty tactics. And I'd be cheering him on when he crushed a guy.

    Verdict on Howard

    Don't be sorry. You apparently just don't understand the stat if you think it means nothing. I won't get into a goalie war here, but GAA is a team stat more than it is a goalie stat. that goes for Hasek, Ozzy, and Howard. Save percentage isn't the end all for judging a goaltender, but it's the best stat out there to give some indication of ability.

    The best hockey commercial ever

    I think they're playing the crap out of this one on VS, but I still think it's hilarious.

    Hasek and Rafalski on IR - Ericsson & Hartigan Called Up

    I saw this on MLive while reading about Ellis getting picked up. I didn't realize this. Hasek hasn't even been skating?? http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/20...vers_by_la.html
