    Ville Leino Appreciation Thread

    Leino was the best player on the ice last night, as he has been most nights in these playoffs. Beast. Good job, Kenny. So glad we've got that 5th.

    Lidstrom Signs 1-Year Contract Extension

    I think it's sensible if I just make no further comments.

    Griffins 2010/11 Roster

    I do like those lines. If we can sign two UFA veterans then I really like the look of those offensive lines. Mursak needs top line minutes this season, I like that 2nd line as it has a terrific blend of size, skill and defence. Emmerton and Pare is a good combination, we saw that, and the 4th is overall very sound, I hope we can keep Oulaehn around. Good job.

    RWC Posts Final 2009-2010 Prospect Rankings

    Our top 3 offensive prospects are Tatar, Mursak and Nyquist, Ferraro just behind. Our top 3 defensive prospects are Kindl, Smith and Lashoff. Should be some top 6 forwards and top 4 defencemen in that group, reason to be excited.

    SCF Game Two GDT

    I must seriously be the only Wings fan (perhaps any fan other than a Hawk) that actually likes Kane.

    Lidstrom Signs 1-Year Contract Extension

    Official: $6.5 mil. Oifficially disappointed.

    Lidstrom Signs 1-Year Contract Extension

    Wouldn't have thought the need to be earning more than your defensive partner was such a big deal...

    Couldn’t have put it better myself.
  9. Careful Brendan, this is twice now that you've been in the news for all the wrong reasons.

    GENNADY STOLYAROV

    I sure hope so, but I doubt it. A guy with that size and raw offensive potential could certainly benefit from a move to GR, unfortunately it doesn't look like happening.

    Andrej Nestrasil

    Obviously. He had a great rookie season, was expected to finish high amongst the point leaders, and after the first month or so he was like in the top 5. After that he complete fell away, and was invisible in the playoffs. I'd say that's a poor season.
  13. What about Maltby? I assume he's gone?

    Andrej Nestrasil

    Looking at that pic, he's so thin now, but he's got the frame to be MASSIVE when he fills out! Had a pretty poor season really, but still excited about his upside.

    Homer Contract Disussion

    As does winning. Lidstrom $5 mil, Holmstrom 2 years, $3 mil. Unfortunately they can't seem to see the bigger picture beyond their $$$.

    Who do you cheer for now?

    In order: Montreal San Jose Philadelphia Chicago Anyone but Hossa holding the Cup.

    Holland Wants Bert Back

    I wouldn't mind seeing Bert return, say 2 years for $3.5 mil, a slight raise on this season as I always try to be realistic.

    Wings sign Mattias Ritola

    Good for Mattias but sadly, I see this extremely cheap contract being honoured by another team as it looks like we want to send him down to GR for another season, at least to start with. I'm pretty sure he will be claimed by another team as what's not to like about picking up a talented, possible 3rd line on an extremely cheap deal?

    Ville Leino Appreciation Thread

    Leino looks absolutely awesome. He's amazing on the PP. He's distributing the puck well, prepared to take a hit, going in front of the net to screen the goalie, it's a completely different players. Thanks for nothing Ville.

    Wings Sign forward Mitchell Callahan

    Good for the kid, but these guys never seem to pan out for Detroit so we'll see. Long road ahead.

    Mike Babcock expects 70 points from Hudler

    Hudler has the potential to hit 70, for sure. Super little player who's offensive ability is often underrated by Wings fans.

    Holland Targets Gritty 4th Liner

    Yay, another May, Norton, Big Snake... Not what we need.

    Youngest Staal traded to Carolina

    I actually forgot he was drafted, my bad.
