they can't be any worse then Lilja or Williams. I think Sammy ok, obviously he hasn't been around for a while but really when he was around he didn't do s*** either. I don't think he is horrible but he would be the only player with any value (not much) that I would be willing to give up. Maybe he will come back and prove me wrong, but he seems like a Maltby that isn't even as useful.

really you weren't impressed at all by them. I'll give you langfeld isn't really anything special, but they had some great chemistry. But ok, if not them there have to be plenty of others. I wouldn't mind seeing Ericcson out there, and a few days ago I read about another young player we have that almost made the team. It was just a thought

Selling would be more for people that can only worry about the future and not the present, because they have no chance of getting into the playoffs. Detroit most likely I don't think would move Chelios or any of the older players because Illitch if very loyal, the only reason Shanny left is because he wanted to. So I doubt we would sell anything unless we are gaining something GREAT in return, as it has been pointed out people seem to forget we are actually #2 in the west so... Our team isn't that bad

I have to say my first reaction, well obviously is what the f*** Holland are we waiting on. But I really didn't read to much of the thread or let it sink in. Now that I have calmed down I really am intrested in seeing how this plays out, I mean I just am very curious to see what Holland will do and just am getting antsy I suppose. But after we make our pick ups I can't wait to see Nashville in the playoffs time to truely become a riverly.

can someone please tell me what the f*** holland is waiting on to sign someone?

Gretzky also thinks he can coach, just saying

He has really been impressive lately, making nice checks, forchecking just playing great. I also hope we clear out some of our players, Sammy, Williams, Lilja, and I wouldn't mind losing Lang, Cleary, if we can get something half way decent in return. But the prospects the few games they played show some great teamwork and I would be willing to put a little bit more on there shoulders and picking up at least 1 or 2 big players.

Lol, I wasn' t saying get rid of Cleary, all I was stating was I personally don't have any opnion on him one way or another, like I do with Dats, Zett, etc, thats all. I just am indifferent to losing or gaining any of those players even Maltby. I was just simply stating it seems that he is playing with a lot more grit lately.

I was very impressed with our GR guys they seemed to play tough and have great teamwork, once again the only thing I want to see left is some hard checkers, but I have faith in the future of our team. I was just wondering how other people felt.

I hope somebody breaks his knee for that cheap shot. I can understand a wack on an arm when they have the puck, to gain a small advantage, but doing what he did, I hope he gets suspended and a ******* broken knee, piece of s***

the article is ok with me, just a little bias but everyone has their teams to follow. BESIDES THE SABRES ARE NOT GOING TO WIN IT THIS YEAR, how many times has the number 1 or 2 seed in the playoffs won?

I personally like Kopecky the most, because when he goes out there wanting to hit he goes nuts. The game that really did it for me was Calagry when he was just slaming into everyone and then jumped in the air at Pheneuff(sorry for hacking his name up) but he just looked great, the only thing is right before the injury he really wasn't going as hard, but I'm sure he will again. I hear great things about Flipula but I really haven't seen to much, same with Hudler, although when they are out together they do look good, just nothing amazing in my eyes. YET. Please give me your opnions.

Why do you like Ellis, just curious, I missed Mondays game and it seemed Wed he really didn't have much of a chance.

i thought we looked good until the end. O and are power play you could tell the older players from the younger

Its classic why would you ever want to get rid of it, think about when the pistons changed to the horse everyone thought that was ***, everyone likes the old jerseys. Someone said as an alternate jersey would be cool but we are still known as the motor city lets try and keep it that way.
