Don't get me wrong I like Maltby but he would be the turtle.

How stupid is Gary Bettman for scheduling this game on of all days New Years Day during all the college bowl games. This f***in guy it clueless!!!

The Kings are toast here's some names I think Kenny should consider. Camalleri 3.5 mill salary signed until 08/09 season. Nagy 3.7 mill FA after this season. Brad Stuart 3.5 Mill and FA after this season.

Score more goals! 2 and 3 goals a game is not gonna get it done on most nights! We NEED a top foward for the second line and fast...

How about some Hot n Ready tickets for $5 lol

Term could be a factor in why he didn't sign with the Wings. Kenny doesn't want to sign anyone longer than 2 years. If the Bruins offer Markov a 3-4 year deal. I bet he'd jump on that.

I think Babcock will mix it up in other games. The Ducks are big, so he was trying to protect Dats with Homer and Franzen. I still think we need another top foward though.

Drew Sharpe is a dickhead and only writes negative articles about Detroit teams. All the complaining about the attendance last season and guess what? Detroit was Second only to Montreal in overall attendance last season. So f**k Sharpe!!! Every year it's the same two Detroit and Montreal http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/attendance?year=2007

No download the Sopcast player...

If you have the SOpcast player go here http://myp2p.eu/NHL.htm Then clikc on the RayTv play link...

I'd rather see Kenny re-sign Markov than any of these other options.

Not only will FRANZENSTEIN score the first goal of the season. He will have a hat trick,3 assists, 2 fights, 10open ice hits

FRANZENSTEIN>>>>>>>Cindy Crosby

Meech sux his nickname should be turnover Meechine.

Make sure you watch FSN Final Score tonite. It's the only place you'll see any highlights from these games in the U.S. I didn't get to watch the game last night so I was thrilled to see that Downey fight on FSN Final Score. ESPN sux!

4-0

I checked the Sopcast and TVants sites and nothing to be found. The game Thursday vs. Tampa is listed to be on FSN. The main reason the Wings pre-season games aren't on. Well the Tigers no longer suck

I guess we won't find out until 7:30 ish

Because he knows it's just tough love from a few thousand season ticket holders. Not to mention there's more fans around here that still admire and appreciate #91 and always will. Don't believe me? take a poll.

By the sounds of this. it appears Dats will center the second line. http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&a...rticleid=334646 "He'll have a big adjustment anyway with the language and living issues," Nill continued. "It's all in how he adapts. We think he'll be a really good second-line guy that might suit Datsyuk. He has the potential to be a star, but it's one day at a time to start. For instance, if we want him to go to the minors to catch up with the speed, how does he accept that? It won't do him any good to struggle up here and not play much. A lot of Europeans don't respect the AHL, but four weeks in the minors might be the best way to get up to NHL speed."

Kipper to test FA market next off-season

I'd like to see either Ryder or Stempniak.

I second that, and I hope there is enough left to pull off a deal for a foward later in the season.

Hey gang this is the Mick here kiddin' Is there anyone left on the market worthy of playing for the Red Wings? I've seen many threads members have posted suggesting players Kenny should consider signing, or threads containing rumors of players Kenny is interested in. All to be knocked down by Red Wings nay-sayers. These same nay-sayers also complain that Kenny hasn't signed anyone else this offseason. So I ask all of you who is good enough? Who should Kenny sign? They're either too lazy or big but not physical or physical but too small, past their prime, scared to fly....blah blah blah. So who is good enough to play for the Wings next year?

Freep Article. Link Wings like Abdelkader But MSU star won't be rushed July 7, 2007 BY GEORGE SIPPLE FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER Justin Abdelkader won an NCAA championship with Michigan State and is a former recipient of Michigan's Mr. Hockey award. But the best honor -- playing for the Red Wings -- might still be yet to come. "We love his intensity," said Red Wings assistant general manager Jim Nill. "One of the reasons we drafted him is because of the physical aspect he can bring. His offensive skills are starting to develop more. We projected him to be a three-year college player." Abdelkader, who is participating in a conditioning camp for Wings prospects through Tuesday at Joe Louis Arena,
