    2011 Round 1 Photoshop War: Phoenix Coyotes

    I love the idea, maybe take it a step further and change the hat to a helmet and put a stick in Freddy's hand?

    Money On The Board - Playoff Style

    I like this idea... Does it go to the Detroit Childrens Hospital? For every series the Wings win I will give 10x whatever Jimmy's playoff GAA is at the end and an extra dollar for every shutout he had in the previous series.

    Osgood Coming Back Next Year

    I am okay with him coming back if he is treated like any other player in terms of performance and icetime and also if he's willing to play some games in GR if we are able to upgrade our goaltending position.

    Nabokov claimed by NYI, refuses to report, suspended

    I suspect that could end up being the case. It would probably have this year. Best case senario is that both Howard and Nabokov play lights out split time and we have a tough decision next year for the playoffs. Even if Howard wins a cup as a starter this year, I still don't think the Wings would hesitate to being in Nabby if asking price weren't too high.

    Nabokov claimed by NYI, refuses to report, suspended

    Joey isn't under contract next year but I would send a mid tier prospect and a third round pick.

    Nabokov claimed by NYI, refuses to report, suspended

    I am hoping that the Islanders and the NHL force him to honor his contract next year and then trade him to Detroit. It seems he has made it clear that he isn't playing for them, and his heart is set on Detroit so maybe they can turn it into a win/win. Islanders get some compensation, The Red Wings get a backup.

    Lidstrom's Chances at Another Norris

    It was an accident... I was trying to hit reply. LOL Sports writers... Not sure which writers but the trophies are voted on by members of the media.

    Playoff Standings Prediction thread

    I am really torn on one hand I want to see Chicago out and Detroit in 2nd place probably playing Anaheim, yet I don't like the travel. Every time in recent history that we've won the cup we've had at least one close series. 97: St. Louis, Anaheim, Colorado, Philly (St. Louis is only one hour difference and Anaheim was a joke at the time we swept them so we only went West once.) 98: Phoenix, St. Louis, Dallas, Washington (Very easy in terms of travel) 02: Vancouver, St Louis, Colorado, Carolina (After starting on the West coast the travel was not bad.) 08: Nashville, Colorado, Dallas, Pittsburgh (Another easy road to the cup in terms of time zones, We swept Colorado so we again only traveled there once.)

    Lidstrom's Chances at Another Norris

    George Malik It's the second article down. I hope he's wrong. I would put my money on Lids!

    Lidstrom's Chances at Another Norris

    George Malik says he is concerned for Lidstrom's norris bid based on the buzz he is hearing from other writers. That would be a shame.

    Babcock healthy-scratch decisions

    I suspect Modano will play the last 3 games if that's what is required to get his bonus, the Wings aren't that kind of a team. Besides I doubt 150k is going to make a difference to Modano at this stage of his career, after taxes and his agent fees he'd be lucky to get 50k.

    Coyotes or Thrashers to Winnipeg

    I've heard both Ken Holland and Bettman say verbally that the Wings would be the first team to move east if and only if an Eastern team moved West.
  17. Lots of great choices, I think almost everyone agrees that on defense it's either Weber or Doughtey. I like the idea of Toews, Kovalchuk and Hossa at forward although Hossa and Kovalchuk are a little older than I'd like.
  18. Forward: Steven Stamkos: He is one of the best offensive forwards in the game. I thought about Crosby and Ovechkin but both of them are too high profile. I would prefer they stay where they have carved out identities, because of the smaller market Stamkos coming to the Wings doesn't seem as unnatural. I also thought about Skinner but he is still too unproven. Defense: Drew Doughty: This was a tough call, but his age and the ability to mold him into Lidstrom 2.0 while playing a year or two with him tipped the scale vs Weber. Goalie: Bryzgalov: I think he is as good as any goalie in the league and he knows what it takes to win from being on the Ducks team. He would be a great complement to Jimmy.

    Datsyuk and Howard both have setbacks

    Am I the only one that thinks you shouldn't make jokes about a players health?

    Believe

    I was asked last night if I had to put my money on a team to win the cup this year right now, who would it be. My answer was the Wings. It actually even surprised me because I have plenty of doubts this year, but I also have plenty of doubts in all the other teams. So of it were my money it would be the Wings.

    10 most skilled players

    I think Fedorov should be on the list. Also I know I am going to get flamed but you could make a case for Ovechkin and Crosby.

    Jimmy Howard injury

    Lets hope one or both of Ozzie and Howie come back and start killing it by the playoffs. If not then In Joey-We-Trust

    Happy Turtle Day

    I think that the Pens almost comeback was a step in that direction.

    Detroit signs Nyquist

    He looks good to me, anyone think he makes the team out of camp next year? Who has more upside him or Tatar? As far as school there is the summer like what Abby has been doing at MSU.
