Mighty Wings

Yeah. I bet half of the guys didn't even get up until noon last Sunday, so they better have some caffeine this time around.

Pavel's been very good for the most part. If the #1 line doesn't work for some reason, babcock won't hesitate taking datsyuk out and centering his own line.

Anybody watchin versus tonight? The ticker on the bottom (in studio during intermissions) says Holmstrom out "indefinitely" with some kind of upper body injury.

Looks like bootland is gonna get the callup. Also, isn't samuelsson supposed to back real soon?

Good to hear. I hate bringing up the "A" word, but it seems like they're still having trouble drawing more than 13,000 fans.

Just curious, but are the wings gonna officially introduce bertuzzi at some point? PS: Thanks Arice

The Ducks and Isles came to an agreement to send Jason Blake to the Ducks in exchange for their first round pick but the NHL rejected it because it was sent in too late and the deadline had already passed. No idea what Garth Snow was doin after pickin up smyth and wanting to trade Blake??? As for anaheim POV, burke couldn't accomplish anything other than pickin up the 1st rounder for o'brien. I honestly thought it was a forgone conclusion that they were gonna use that pick to get someone, but apparently not i guess.

barring any setbacks......both Z and Big bert should be back around the 20th. There'd be 10 or so games left after that point to the season. There will be 3 games at the end of the month vs anaheim followed by nashville and dallas, which could be statement games, and we'll see how we stack up with our acquisitions and theirs.

terrible news. But now is the time to step up for the other guys and seize the opportunity. Datsyuk becomes the go-to-guy and I guess we'll know what he's made of. Although, most if not all of the games he could miss the next few weeks are gonna be at home.

They did give up a 1st rounder this year for pronger. However, they acquired tampa's 1st round pick by trading shane o'brien.

Heard it from a friend, and said it was mentioned during last night's rangers game.

with all due respect -- can we please enjoy an entertaining day in red wing nation before talking about the offseason.

Pavel looks nice with the A on his sweater

the bertuzzi interview, as well as kenny's and darren pang are up on the 1270sports.com website.

They got 2 forwards and only gave up one, meaning hudler is gonna be most likely to sit out when everyone comes back. But Is it just me or are the red wings kinda thinking that samulesson could possibly be out for the year?

exactly.

BRING ON THE SHARKS!!!!!!

It could be mursak or matthias also.

the pick can become a 1st rounder if they make the conf finals. But regardless, a tremendous move by kenny. Our 2nd line all of a sudden looks great.

Apparently, The prospect is Jay Barriball, according to AM 1270 a while ago. Thats what I heard on my way back from school.

Ken Holland is looking to get a "star player" before the deadline. In addition, Parker also said that there's a good chance Lapointe could end up back here. Shouldn't come as a shock to us wings fans regarding holland's intentions. Parker doesn't know anything about hockey nor does he care about hockey, but I thought I'd just throw it out there. He's somewhat Eklund-like, but he gets it right once and every while.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but on the surface it seems like he could be a martin gelinas type player.

Evan Mcgrath and a 2nd/3rd?

defintely garbage out. Calder is an upgrade over williams for sure. The TSN scouting report also says he steps up in key situations. Not sure how true that is, but he was in the playoffs in 01-02 w/chi in his rookie year and he had 2 goals in 5 games in a 1st rd loss to the blues.

Can someone re-clarify? We got calder?
