    Thumbs up, Holmström & Filppula!

    Wow, a sprained MCL? Didn't know it was that bad. No wonder why he wasn't training and they kept giving him days off. As Holland pointed out, he didn't have time to rest it either so all he could do was fight through the pain. Holmstrom sounded really banged up and I'm even surprised he took to the ice. And once again more intrigue added to the Franzen saga.

    I posted this thread last off-season...

    1. Will Lidstrom finish next season as a Norris Nominee? Yes. 2. He finished the season with 27 goals, despite spending much of the season in the bottom 6. With a regular top six role, can Franzen score 40 goals? No. 3. Will the Wings have a 100 point man? a 50 goal man? If yes, who? Zetterberg to crack the ton, and score 50 goals. 4. Will a rookie defenseman find himself with a regular roster spot? If yes, who? Yes, Quincey. 5. Will Howard back-up Ozzie with a winning record and a good statistical showing? Yes, and yes. 6. Out of Filppula, Samuelsson, and Hudler, who tallies the most points? Most goals? Flip and Flip. 7. Which Darren makes the top 13 forwards - McCarty, Helm or Both? Helm. 8. Does Kopecky score either of 10 goals or 20 points? Not quite, I'd say about half a dozen goals and 15 points. 9. His playoff scoring rate would equate to 54 points on a regular season. Can Niklas Kronwall break 50 points next regular season? Yes. 10. Predict the number of Red Wing wins for next season, and their number of wins against Chicago ( ). 52 wins, 5 against Chicago.

    NBA FINALS: Celtics Vs. Lakers

    Never thought I'd say this but go Lakers! Don't like Bryant but I really admire Gasol. He deserves the title.

    Who retires?

    The article posted above indicates, at least IMO, that Holland is leaning more towards not brining him back.

    When will "Hockeytown 4" be out?

    Recorded them all to DVD. Will watch them quite a few times that's for sure.

    Sounds like Samuelsson's not going anywhere. Fair enough, thought he had a great playoffs for the most part and did well today.

    Let's hope Quincey remembers this feeling because I'm worried he'll leave.

    What kept Hamstring out of Game 5. "What was wrong?" they asked. "Everything was wrong".

    Yeh I can't believe how close the ending was. They had a 2 on 1 within about 10 metres of the goal. I guess everyone was off celebrating! Ozzie starting throwing his arms in the air and Cleary realised time expired.

    "But I almost killed Hudler" Is that what Ozzie said?
