There is a reason Jersey is getting pissy with Marty and it would be the same reason the Wings would get pissy with Marty... The New NHL is not working out for him. Not to mention we don't need him as a backup and his performance this year doesn necessitate a starting role if Ozzie stats don't make him a starter this season. I am not complaining (this time ) just merely pointing out that performance wise Ozzie and Brodeur are pretty much equal so far this season.

Who's this so called manny and why is he on his way out? If its about Manny Fernandez he is an EXCELLENT goalie!

I would like to add that Vernon and Hasek didn't win the cup by themselves either (apart from what many still say as well)... To say so would degrade a very awesome effort by everyone involved in the Organization during those Playoff runs. Like Osgood, Vernon and Hasek were a key player but the cup could not of been raised without many other key players. In '98 Ozzie was an important Cog in the Red Machine that won the cup, much like any other goalie who has ever raised the cup. But I don't think anyone beleive he won it 100% by himself, but he was a Very Important part of the cup team... That is unless there is a goalie with 16 SO and 16 goals all in the same cup run then of course he won the cup all by his lonesome

The team stepped it for Howard yes... Up until that game the Defense was invisible for both Legace and Osgood to say otherwise you must have been watching some other Defense... The Wings D looked awful throughout most of November, hence where most of our losses came from. Manny had a rough go of it in November with our crappy D in front of him as well. So much so, he was seen getting physically upset when goals would get scored on him... Very un-Manny like to lose his cool on the ice. I am not saying he (ozzie) needs 60-70 games to get used to the New NHL but playing more than 8 in a 2 month span would definetly be a HUGE plus. Not to mention he came in for relief of injured Manny in 2 of those eight games... So he really only got to start 6 games in 2 months. Its all stems on whether the D from Monday is here to stay or was it just visiting. If it was just visiting I feel so bad for Howard tonight!

On the same note, everyone is hoping we get an ALL-STAR Kick your Ass Defenseman in this so-called trade.... Well you know what, "if" Ozzie is indeed as bad as many say he is... Who on earth is going to want to part with this so-desired ALL-STAR Kick Your Ass Defenseman for a lowly "finish is career in the AHL" goaltender. Going by all of your negativity for Osgood and Positivity for Legace, I would have to gather that shipping out Legace would be the only viable goalie who would give you the return you so desperately want! That is unless we are SHOPPING Howard right now instead of either Legace or Osgood. Seems odd doesn't it? that the two goalies speculated in the Blockbuster trade are either A) broken down or viewed by several wings fans to be the suck of all suck. Yet they continue to play Howard and not let the other goalies prove their worth to the rest of leagues perspective buyers. Legace I can understand since he is hurt, but he had a great October and then a so-so November then he got hurt... doesn't seem like a player that would result in a team giving up a decent defenseman for.

Hasek can stay in Ottawa. He screwed wings over one too many times and if they do get him back than shame on them. He used Detroit to get his one and only stanley cup and then put is in one hell of a goalie situation from that point one. He is nothing but trouble and it won't be long before he decides to screw over ottawa as well. Keep him in Ottawa, where is no existant to the wings. Unless through some miracle they make it to the SCF in June!

No tandem in the world could lead this team to the cup IF the rest of the skaters decide to once again play like they have been the several games before last game. Last game showed that when our other skaters are in the game great things can happen. Our Defense was excellent our offense was coming back to help Howard out, I didn't think they were still capable of blocking shots and taking away scoring chances anymore. But, the last game showed us they can still play like a championship team they are. What was the shots 9-0 at one point? I do think Babs is a good coach, However I don't necessarily feel that his logic is IF YOU SUCK YOU DON"T PLAY. I mean why is Lilja still playing mucho minutes night in and night out? BTW Ozzie has been far from perfect, but the team is still above .500 even if you want to say inspite of him being in net. A win is a win and a point is a point. Come April that is all that will matter, did we get more points than we lost with the given goalie in net. Right now EACH goalie has given the team more points won than lost. I believe that each of our goalies are fine, but they overall outcome of the games will depend more often on net which Skaters decide to show up. With all the firepower and DEPTH the wings have on the team they shouldn't rely on a goalie to have to steal games or play stellar each and every night. That is not the type of team that Holland has built. Or atleast I hope not because if he expects the Goalies to have to play on top of their game 100% of the time they are relying on the Wrong goalies. Ozzie and Manny are both not game stealers and you will very rarely see any of their saves (albeit some are absolutely amazing) on the Prime Time highlight reel. They just show up and do their jobs and take the WINs and LOSSES along with the rest of the guys. Our goalies are not Game Stealers.. They many steal a game here and there but that is not their style of play. Trading away goalies at this stage of the season is no better than Firing Mooch because the Lions have sucked for some billion years. Anybody want some more duct tape to temporarily patch the problems. The Defense has shown previously that they can play, seeing last game and the support they offered the new kid shows just how poorly they have been playing the last 10 games or so prior.

The only two ways I can see this happening 1) Legace IS making more money than Osgood and Recently their play has been about the same mediocre style. 2) Maybe Babs is going to allow Manny to spread his Wings and leave the nest To get an uncontested starting Job in another city<-- No pun intended at all. Recently in Manny's emotions on the ice after goals have been scored I have seen that the pressure of the Detroit #1 has been getting to him. I have never seen him have so many fits about goals in his entire career here. He used to be laid back and just doing his job. Now he is getting visual upset after goals. Is this a product of the buring fire to win or the product of too much pressure being placed on him?

Fanatic U in Garden city or fanaticU.com is where we got our home and away Manny jeresey's back in 2000. I am sure you can still get a good deal there now. Back when we got them they were $70 each for the lettered jersey... Now since he is "highlighted" this season you may have to pay a wee bit more.

I personally don't see what the big deal about this is. A few pictures up on the score board, oh well move on. People are so damn sensitive these days about the most odd things. Does every inner city have these same things wrong with them... You bet, does detroit really look that bad?... In places, YOU BET. Frankly most residents for the Detroit don't care about their city anyways, how could you even justify them thinking about Detroit in a postive light after they re-elected good ol' Kwamee? That dude has so many scandals surrounding him it makes Nixon and Clinton look like saints. The Movie 8-mile shows Detroit in just as bad of a light... No one really had a problem about that movie. Detroit as far as an up and coming city... Sure, I'll beleive it when I see it. They are trying to clean up the city around Ford Field for the Superbowl, but just around Ford Field so the cameras will capture the "best" of Detroit. But the truth is City officials are doing nothing to help renovate a few block down from Ford Field inany direction. I don't know, I take it as it is... Will Detroit ever be the Vacation Mecca of the country? Hell no. Weather and the out of the way location make it impossible. Detroit is just not a place you happen to drive through. You actually need to have a trip planed to go there. I mean driving down to disney world you happen to go through many large citys (atlanta for one) Where would you possibly be going to run through detroit? its out of the way of everything.

Did anybody hear that caller named TIM on 1270 Friday Night... He basically was a nut job and said that he would burn stuff if Joey played today... I wonder if Allen Park (where he is from) is burning tonight. It was the funniest call I have heard in a long long time!
