    Retire Osgood's #30?

    Yzerman, Lidstrom, Shanahan, Fedorov. You could argue about Vernon, Chelios, and Konstantinov being better during those years. Try again.

    Cleary out 4 weeks w/fractured ankle

    Who actually thought Danny wouldn't miss a month this year? I have been getting nervous that this was coming, his season seemed too good to be true. It was great to see him flourishing though. Stoked to see Mursak called up, hopefully he gets something going.

    Patrick Eaves Watch Thread.

    I said Miller because I thought of all the American players, he probably gets the most "Star" type love from the hockey community. Parise is a solid pick though. If he didn't play for NJ he'd probably be a bigger deal.

    How Long will Blake be Suspended?

    Um, in serious disagreement here. He seen his numbers the whole time and gave him and elbow near the back of the head to boot. JB better be getting some time off...

    The person below me game...

    No. Although I do believe he would eventually be there. I just don't agree that he should be there. TPBM thinks Detroit Public Television is worth watching sometimes...

    beers!

    Kentucky Breakfast Stout. Brilliant. Over 11% and you'd never know it. It tastes like what Guiness wishes it tasted like with a hint of yummy and a dash wonder! Super hard to get. Only made once a year. Think you can only score a case or two if you call the company directly.

    The person below me game...

    #43. Have you ever nearly cried watching that video a couple posts back? OMGosh yea! Yes, I'm a sucker for surveys. TPBM probably thinks Chris Osgood is a HOF goalie...

    Tootoo's embarrassing miss

    That is pretty funny, good recovery. Too bad this dude is a cheap, arrogant loser from the team of cheap, arrogant losers.

    12/19 GDT: Stars 4 at Red Wings 3 (OT)

    This goalie debate is just rediculous. One of the worst tandems in the league? Take a hike. Mediocre at best? Please take your pills and go to sleep, hopefully your delusion will pas during the night. Howard has had a bad month people! If you add his first month last year, he's had two bad months. The rest of the time he's been at least very good, sometimes great. In all seriousness, he deserved Hart consideration last year. Yet people like Mindfly think that a rookie goalie who deserved Hart consideration, was a finalist for the Calder trophy, and basically got us into the playoffs is "mediocre at best". Osgood has had more ups and downs than my toilet lid and will get blind love and hate from this community until he retires, understood. He is what he is, a good goalie who has barely ever been great on his own. That said, he looks to have actually put together a few decent games and may actually get his chance at playing enough games to get his groove back, the thing he whined about needing so much last year. If he gets it together and plays like we know is possible then we have one of the best tandems. We have a very good young goalie and a 3 time Cup winning goalie as his backup, who plays better in the playoffs. We're fine. Lay off these guys, they're not Matt Stafford...

    OMGosh, wow. Creepy. Long lost sister?

    Subban's huge hit

    Agreed. That was an incredibly hard hit, but clean. Want to get him back? Score on the next play.
  21. Um, we are kind of loaded. Although, as stated, there is a lot going on with guys who could have spots and prospects on the rise. I guess, if we are looking to make a real trade, your going to want to look at guys who will probably be replaced or have expiring contracts. Miller, Eaves, Hudler, Axelsson, Larsson, Emmerton, and Ferraro are guys that are probably able to be on the block from our side. The question is though, what is it we really need and is it worth it/likely that a trade will be beneficial? With the way things are right now, unless Holland knows Nick will be gone next year, I'm not sure who/what they would they would even go after. Lest some wonder deal falls in Kenny's lap, we might have a trade free year. I'd say its probably a healthy "unlikely" at this time.

    Nabokov a Free Agent Again

    That is interesting. Islanders could pick him up. DiPietro has been terrible. Roloson is 41, I believe. Can't see why they wouldn't take a flier.

    scottie upshall for hudler

    Huds still has value, dont kid yourself. You think the Islander's wouldn't pony up for a guy with his talent, a ring, and coming from the Wings winning culture? Call Garth, i'm sure he'd listen intently.

    Nabokov a Free Agent Again

    LouLam signs Nabokov to a 11-year, 1.2 billion dollar deal. The first two years he makes 500 mill a year. The remainder is spread over the following 9 years at completely sporadic amounts. First two years are paid in scratch off tickets and monopoly money...coming from the KHL, Nabby never knew the difference. If he plays 63 games in year three, the Devils will give him the Islanders. He will then have exclusive rights to move them to Quebec. He can take over as GM of the Nordiques as soon as he loses his starting position... The Devils will glory in thier triumph over the leagues cap rules when Nabby's cap hit is only 17 pence a year. That is until Bettman takes Nabby's car, cell phone, and jock strap as well as NJ's next five 3rd round picks and Martin Brodeur's shutout record as punishment for circumventing anything Gary Bettman says is truth.
