    Wings offer Aaron Downey Tryout?

    That game forever cemented Downey and Babcock as Red Wing heros.

    Antti Niemi files for arbitration

    From Nightmare on Helm Street - From the Bleacher Report: All types of Chicago Blackhawk fans are ready to abandon Tomas Kopecky’s salary in order to re-sign Antti Niemi. Oh dear lord...didn't they throw a parade when they took this guy away from Detroit? Oh..that's right - Marian Hossa was there too. Are you trying to tell me that Chicago was more excited about Hossa than Kopecky? That they are already willing to give up on him? Shocking. Tomas Kopecky has established himself over the years, and even more so after his first season with the Blackhawks. Kopecky played from 2005-2009 on the Detroit Redwings. An injury from former Chicago Blackhawk Jim Vandermeer in the 2006-2007 season limited his ability to shine his true talent. Ahem...established? This year was his FIRST year breaking the 20 point barrier...and he did it by one stinking point. He played in 74 out of 82 games and got time on the power play...you cannot tell me that his true talent wasn't shown this year - it was just easy to miss. With a portion of the Blackhawks team gone, Kopecky is a vital piece. Even though he is not as big as Dustin Byfuglien, Kopecky is known for his aggressive approach all over the ice. If Kopecky is given the chance he can focus his energy in front of the net. He may not have the size, but he has the motivation and the talent. This is now Tomas Kopecky’s time to shine and prove he is here to stay as a Chicago Blackhawk. Well if you can't keep Marty Reasoner around for just over a million, what chance does a guy like Kopecky have? Maybe somone else will broker a deal for Tomas and his boyfriend Marian...again. Still - this makes me laugh because people kept throwing Kopecky's name in their with Hossa, Samuelsson, and Hudler for key contributors lost in the '09 off-season. Yeah, we were really hard pressed to find those extra 6 goals. And now Chicago fans are already giving up on the guy...much like Detroit did when Chicago "stole him away". Nice.

    Does anyone know where they hire the people who work the stands?

    Good luck trying to get someone to take that massive contract.

    Kopecky actually looked pretty decent at times this season for them, it's a shame he didn't translate that into his play here in Detroit.

    Dropping Kopecky? What a shame that would be.

    Random Discussion Thread

    Whenever I occasionally have a beer at night, I usually do dream. They may be a bit stranger than normal. But I always make it a habit to try and remember my dreams because it can be fun to look back at them. One dream that sticks out was a dream I had when I was 8 years old about being inside a volcano with Mickey Mouse. Obviously I had no beer before that one, but a strange one nonetheless.

    Hawkeytown? ...barf.

    Stamkos would be a great choice for this year. Chicago better not be the new Pittsburgh.
  20. Really a shame that it didn't work out. I was at the game against Vancouver in which he tore his ACL, and was extremely disappointed when I heard the news.

    Remembering Derian Hatcher's tenure with Detroit

    It may have been the way he returned from the injury that made him super slow. I remember the Nashville series in which a Nashville player skated right past him and went high blocker on Manny Legace.
