    Wings goalie situation

    The one thing that I do have confidence in is that even if Hasek does go down, I still have faith that we can win because we allow around 20 shots against per game. Let's face it, in the late 90s Vernon and Osgood were not premiere goalies but because we had such dominant teams we were able to get by good and timely goaltending

    Wayne Gretzky vs. Bobby Orr

    I've recently seen some old game films from the early 80s and the entire crowd and announcers are constantly aware of where Gretzky was on the ice the entire game because they knew that anytime the puck came within five feat of Gretzky something very special was very very likely to happen.

    Draft Pick that Vancouver owes us for MacIntyre

    The Wings have been gems at finding diamonds in the rough on draft day, so anywhere between a 3-5 round pick would not disappoint me one bit.

    Wings goalie situation

    I agree, there's still a big part of me that is worried that something like what happened with Ottawa will happen this year.

    Cool Detroit Russian 5 Video

    Ah, the good ol days for sure. There were so many reasons to love the Wings back then

    Wayne Gretzky vs. Bobby Orr

    They both dominated their eras, but as above posters have said Gretzky's records go uncontested and I'll take it another step further to saying that no player in any other sport has dominated like Gretzky has

    Congrats to Modano

    Congrats, I've always liked Modano. I'll admit that I was expecting this thread to thank him for hitting Tootoo with his stick at first.

    Wings goalie situation

    I think the whole Manny Legace situation is still very fresh in the organization's mind and that it would prevent that possibility from happening again anyways.

    Wings goalie situation

    IMO if the Wings got themselves in the situation where they had an Osgood/Howard/Liv tandem in goal they would be taking a huge step backwards.

    How does league expansion work?

    The league still has enough issues to deal with before it starts thinking about expansion

    Larry Murphy says "F*cking" during telecast!

    Personally, I really don't see this being a big deal. I mean we see the players saying it all the time and in about 60% of the games when the audio goes to ice level you can hear it anyways.

    Wings goalie situation

    I think that we keep Osgood as a backup and get a FA in the offseason for a starter.

    Quote summing up the Leaf's attitude as a whole

    I actually agree with that quote. I think that's what being a true fan is. Yes, even though their team sucks, really bad by the way, they are still in love with them. I just hope I could say the same thing about Wings fans if we were ever bad, although we've been top five in the league for a solid decade and a half now. I think it's pretty cute, almost like having a crush on a fat girl because she has a good personality...... always looking at the positives.

    Signed Jerseys @ Dick's

    A signed Gordie Howe jersey is just what I need to decorate my living room wall with.

    Why do Blues fans hate the Redwings so much?

    Every where I go when I wear my Wings hat I always get the question......... "How the hell can you cheer for a team like that."

    Jiri Hudler

    Hudler does have a lot of potential, however, we already have a lot of players that are almost as young and have the same skills that he has, however, their skills are a little better and also have a little bit more size on Hudler. I'd say trade him if all the other players stay put.

    Bertuzzi to be on WXYT 1270 at 5:30pm

    Doesn't sound like I missed much........ this reminds of the commercial where the guy gets traded to all the teams and keeps repeating the same lines but eventually starts forgetting the city name.

    Line ideas, anyone?

    I really don't think that Calder belongs on the fourth line.

    Jiri Hudler

    Maybe him and Theo Fleury can get a big trench coat and finally sneak onto some amusement park rides.

    Why do Blues fans hate the Redwings so much?

    I'm pretty sure that the entire Central division has a deep hatred for the Red Wings.

    Other than Wings fans, who doesn't hate the Wings?
