  1. Most of these rosters have Nyquist in them, Don't be so sure he will be starting with the NHL in October. He still has options, while the other forwards do not. My guess for foward lines would be this:

    Bertuzzi - Datsyuk - Franzen

    Brunner - Zetterberg - Filppula

    Samuelsson - Helm - Cleary

    Tootoo - Abdelkader - Miller

    Depending on Eaves health, I belive him and Emmerton would be the extra forwards. They would then try to send Mursak through waivers to AHL. If Eaves isn't ready Mursak and Emmerton would be extra forwards.


  2. I feel like an idiot for asking this since I've been watching hockey for two decades....

    Against florida, the wings got a 5 minute major. After a bit, florida got a two minute minor and it was 4-on-4.

    If the wings would have scored during this time, the florida player would come out of the penalty box right? Since it's major vs. minor is my line of thinking. I'm sure I've seen this, but I don't remember this happening

  3. I know Pasha and Malkin are friends...in fact, one idolizes the other (I'll let you figure out which is which).

    Datsyuk is friends with Ovechkin and Bryzgalov, too.

    So I had no idea Val was good friends with the Finnish Flash till I heard about it today. Does anyone know any other players on other teams that the wings are friends with? Past and present wings. I've heard Tuzzi is friends with Jovocop recently too

    Selanne came to Filppula's Cup party in Finland.


  4. That's what heard via twitter too. I wonder what the issue is.

    Probably his knees.

    I have been seeing Osgood, Vernon, and Hasek as possible goalies.

    Draper and Maltby have said yes. They have asked Shanahan and possibly Hull.


  5. That's weird, I had the exact thought the other day watching the Avs/Nucks game :lol: For the right package it'd be nice, Giggy played his best hockey under Babs and Quincey was drafted here :ph34r:

    Yes, and Quincey is supposedly on the block. It looks like Giguere's numbers are okay this year. The two main questions would be what would go in the other direction, and if the Avs would go for it.


  6. i read about it earlier can't wait to see it , is nhl 36 a new series???? is there any redwings shows on our players i can check out??? found some online but of other players

    found this but its on derek stepan of the rangers , a show like that about the redwings would be so cool to watch

    It is a new series. Lidstrom's is episode 3. They have covered Kane and Bergeron. They follow a player for 36 hours.


  7. I know this is way early (or maybe it's not?).. But when do WC tickets normally go on sale?

    It will be interesting to see how many tickets go on to sale to the general public. If they follow there usual route, tickets will be available to Wings' season ticket holders and probably UofM season ticket holders first. Then, Toronto season ticket holders would get a crack. With the larger venue, here is hoping more general ticket sales will be available.

    I am loving this. If all of this falls into place, it should be a great group of events.


  8. Well if you look at the standings the Wings sit 4th primarily b/c of sub .500 road play as they would be 1st in the conference if not for this poor play on the road.

    I think the big picture is if the play on the road continues to be sub-standard it means no higher than a 4th seed and I think that is too low of a seed for the Wings to get out of the West as in order to beat teams like the Hawks, Sharks or Canucks they need home ice advantage. Heck I don't even know if home ice will get them through a playoff series against San Jose.

    If you look at the last 2 Cup winning teams in 02 & 08 they had home ice for all their rounds and in order to win the Cup again I think that's the route they need to take or at least have home ice for the Western playoffs.

    I am a little worried, but I think they should improve on it before playoff time.

    Home Record = 13-2-1

    Road Record = 8-8-0

    Home Game Played = 16

    Road Games Played= 16

    Home Goals For = 67

    Road Goals For = 39

    Home Goals Against = 30

    Road Goals Against = 41

    Home Differential = 37

    Road Differential = -2

    Home +/- = 35

    Road +/- = -5

    Something going on there.
