doubtful, he pretty much made it clear to wings managment he wanted no part of resigning with us. Plus we have other players who do his job for cheaper

one

Roberto Roberto,....Those nucks remind me very much of a certain team that had a certain current red wing on it that went to the cup finals in 99'. That said, if they have to go through us to get there, they won't

fixed it for ya

i've always had a hunch The wings would try and give Mac something office wise when his playing days were over. Now i havn't a clue as to what that is, but who knows.

^ yes, like we've said all season,..please go away draperfan you add zero to just about everything. moving on,......Alot of flames fans are saying we'll see a differnt team sunday A. i sure hope so for there sake B. So will they, Todd Bertuzzi will be back

it's more sarcasm than anything else, he's called that bascilly because he's gotten into a few fights recently instead of just sucking butt for most of the game.

i'd much rather have our own "European invasion" line of Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Holmstrom anyway

With that swiss cheese goalie they have, they never had a prayer in that series, and still don't.

"i fear we have awakened the sleeping giant" Datsyuk is comming Calgary,..be prepared for heartache.

kipper can't keep this up, one more will crack him.

oh i hope we blow them out of the water tonite. For hockey reasons it'll completly shake there confidence as there goaltending defines them on most nights. But for personal reasons i've got a lot of flame fans who are talking lots of crap and i would love to shut them up for a day or two.

Dirty dirty preds,.. Well no cheechoo no deep run for the sharks, They still should win the series but that's insane.

sorry, it just gets to me when very ignorant hockey fans say stuff like this. It's like everyone has forgotten that Dominic Hasek is one of the greatest goalies of all time, use your head, or if you have to an NHL stat book.

when your goalie wins a stanley cup, a hart trophy, more than one vesnia, and is a first ballet hall of famer,..than you can talk,..otherwise, shut up

are you freaking kidding me? He's a good goalie? You stupid stupid man, you had one good season in which you played well. YOUR TALKING ABOUT A HART TROPHY STANLEY CUP WINNING HALL OF FAME BOUND GOALTENDER. Stupid bastard,...i'm sorry stuff like this just gets to me,..if it was someone reputable like i dunno someone who's played hasek in the playoffs then i'd be like okay whatever. But not from this punk.

I am so sick of this crap,..can we destroy this guys,..i mean really Demolish them? Then maybe Don can do what he did last Year with mike commadore and his robe. I am so sick of everyone out there not giving the wings a single chance.

man i bet the amount of hot wings sent to this radio station after the flames lose will be legendary.

HAIL TO THE HERO'S,...HAIL,..TO THE KING,... okay i'm done,..

and the tampa bay lighting won the cup that year, also eliminated in the first round Carolina won the cup last year,..didn't even make the playoffs. Year to year has zero baring on a current team. Including ours, anyone who says the flames will win in anything less than 7 are retarted.

when Atlanta gets eliminated in the first round and Guerin doesn't show up for another playoffs i'll expect a nice big plate of crow from you regardless of how bert does for us like others have said we gave up next to nothing for him.

calder, Bertuzzi, HASEK over Williams, an ineffecitve samuelson (who will have a much reduced role) and a completly worthless manny legace. yes we've improved in spades actually.

someones a Canadian,...in the states we call it street hockey,..imagine that.

a humble wings fans breakdown of the series and why we're going to win this in 7 Number one. home ice advantage, in a sport where that word losses more and more meaning as the years go by the wings have been utterly lethal at home. I'm sure most of you know but we've only lost 4 game at home all year. That my friends should scare the pants off the flames at the prospect of entering our building. Combine that with the flames horrible away record and you have a recipe for a disaster. If the wings can win one on the road we could even win this in 5. Number two Better defense- or as i like to refer to it "we don't have hatcher anymore" Remember watching with pain, Hatcher skate around the ice at slightly faster than your grandma? Not here folks, All our D-men can skate and a few of them like lebda can flat out fly. Add that to the ever present nick lidstrom and we have a serious edge D wise. Number three This team will not lay down and die like previous years-I remember a quote from jason williams after he got traded that the key to beating the red wings, was to beat up on them. Not now J-willy. With the addition of calder, and Bert playing with some gusto again. This team is the grittiest team in years. This season i've seen Datsyuk lay someone out, I've seen markov eat more than one forward,.. hell i've even seen Lilja fighting recently, this team is nothing like the 06 squad. The revelatory spark that we need so badly last year, is here. Number four Pavel Datsyuk and Dominic Hasek. Both of these men have massive things to prove. Hasek was the scapegoat when Ottawa went down, and his toughness and didcation were questioned because he never played in that series. He's been phenomenal all season. But as any sabers (or wings fan before 03) will tell you, this man plays his best during the playoffs. Think kipper was amazing in 04? Look up hasek in 99,...without brett hulls foot, a very medrocer Sabers team would have won that cup. As for Dats, anytime anyone talks about this man, that's all they say,.."he cant' score in the playoffs, he can't do it when it mattered". Well for the past few seasons neither has our entire team sans Zetterberg and Lang. He was injurded last year and it showed and a fully healthy Dats should scare the flames. Number five Robert Lang Is lazy and he sucks,...Accept during the playoffs, Bad ass Bob is going to bring it. Number Six This is not the same old red wings We have a true break here, from teams past. This isn't steve's team anymore. And while that sucks, it's also not brett hull's or Shanny's team. It's not covered much in the news, but outside of chelly, this is the youngest wings team in a long time. Expect to see that on the ice. Not everyone and there mom on this team has a ring, but a lot due. A good mix of youth and leadership will give us the advantage.
