He had Hull, but that was about it. He was an assistant with Colorado when St. Louis had Gretzky. We also shouldn't forget that the '96 Wings looked absolutely immortal during the regular season but then ran into trouble in Round 2, and then ultimately lost in Round 3.

Probably not...the Devils have some strange team rule that nobody can have a number exceeding 40 or something like that. This is an absolute steal for the Devils. But as everyone has said, I'm not sure what he'll be thinking of the defensive atmosphere in Jersey, and he'll likely be a pure rental.

Usually it sounds something like "scoo-ars!"

Sometimes

Great hit. But another fight afterwards. There needs to be a new rule implamented to put an end to that.

I'm not too big a fan of him, but he's definately better than Edwards.

I think their ass ugly jerseys would be reason enough why nobody wants to play for Atlanta.

It's Chicago. They all just started watching their team because they suddenly got good, and they'll stop the second after they go bad again.

Hiller was the reason the Ducks won. The Wings played a good game for the most part and had plenty of chances to put the puck in the net. Datsyuk and Filppula (several times) were robbed by him throughout the night.

Where did you get that from?

Last night only seems to re-enforce the notion that the rules change when the Red Wings are playing. For instance, in the last 2 years alone: - A Red Wings opponent is allowed to score a goal after the puck clearly went off the protective netting - Several Red Wings opponents have had goals scored on them called back because a Detroit player was standing a good 2 feet outside the blue paint - A Red Wings opponent is allowed to play with six skaters on the ice for half a minute, penalty free - Several Red Wings opponents have won games because the referee conveniantely had "intent to blow", even supposedly while a player was shooting the puck into the goal - A Red Wings opponent is given the upper hand in a shootout despite the rule that calls for 100 percent conclusive evidence that the puck crossed the goal line, which was apparently seen by an official over fifty feet away from the play - A Red Wings opponent is allowed to intentionally take his hand off his stick and deflect the puck into the net, despite the rule book saying differently

I'm Down - The Beatles

Hooray, more injuries. I can see him being replaced by someone like Ryan Whitney.

I think that for 2009-2010, this should be the picture for the Wings.

And Fil misses again. That's game. Once again, the Wings tease us into thinking they'll actually put a streak together.

I guess there's no way the hockey gods would let the Wings score 2 goals with less than 3 minutes to go.

Those need to go in.

Lebda flubs the one timer again.

Another nice save for Howard

Nice save, Howie

Meech....

Win.
