    Replacement for Drake

    I have yet to say his name in any thread, but wouldn't the most motivated person probably be Sundin?

    Ducks

    didn't most of the Ducks talent come from the previous GM? The last 2 Pronger and Neids: not very hard one everyone knew wanted out and the 2nd offer to play with his brother.

    Red Wings, little Drama

    yeah to a degree I'm happy we aren't on everyboard talking about Flip being better the Crosby, or Z better then Gretz, etc. But I mean it gets to the point were some fans act as if we stumbled into the championships.

    Sergei Kolosov/Siarhei Kolasau signed.

    He gained some weight but lost and inch, so we should call it a wash

    you misunderstand, I agree with you. My point is a lot of Wings fans tear apart our players not personally saying you are.

    Phoenix Coyotes

    agreed, 1st Phoniex will make the playoffs; unless serious injuries 2nd, I have believed all year that the NW division is overrated; a bunch of good teams but none are great was the best way I've heard it described. I believe the most likely team to make it to the playoffs will be Edmonton actually.

    Red Wings, little Drama

    It seems like Detroit fans are much more pessimistic of there players then most teams. Go on hfboards/Espn everybody touts there young talent as the next big thing, our fans are always calling our players garabage basically.

    Derek Meech named Wings' rookie of the year

    This may sound out there, but I really would like to see Meech get some D time while Datsyuk is on the ice, they have some good chemistry and Meech always was in a great scoring position.

    Red Wings, little Drama

    Hell I'll say it I think that Flip is going to break out to be maybe a poormans Dats or even better a Datsyuk Jr. He reminds me a lot of him in the way he is progressing, how many open nets did Flip miss, I mean even empty netters. Datsyuk for a few years was showing signs of greatness but couldn't put it all completly together. Most of you were begging for him to be traded(you know who you are), but eventually he got the timing right and started putting the puck in. This reminds me so much of Flip this year, he has been on the verge, and his D was on par with Dats and Z during the playoffs. I'm not saying he should get anything more then 3 million because stats will work in Detroits advantage with this signing, but someone can bookmark this, Flip will have a breakout year and you will see more comparisions to the twins; along with more outsiders wondering how the f*** the Wings do it.

    Leafs Buyout Tucker

    That has more to do with the coach then the players.

    2008 NHL Entry Draft GDT

    I'm suprised McGuire took Sids dick out his mouth long enough to say anything this draft.

    Jeff Carter Gets 5 million Big Ones..

    If thats the case how much do you think Franzen could hold us for?

    NHL Teams Looking To Sweden For Future Goalies

    So is it now the time for the Wings to start using human subjects in creating an army of Lidstroms

    Your one day with the cup

    I would get married to the cup. Then on that horrible day when another team wins it, I would file for divorce.

    Filppula wants to stay in Detroit

    5 years at 17 million, he reminded me so much of a young Pavel this season. You could see the moves and the D but just couldn't put together enough to get the points. In the next 2 years I promise he will start to get a few mentions of that ability.

    Holland Tells Quincey to Work on His Fighting

    We'll we could have Ericcson take over for Staurt offensively and then Quincey for Lilja on the 5-6

    Holland Tells Quincey to Work on His Fighting

    so is that a good sign of having both Downey and Quincey on the team? God its good to be a Red Wings fan Dynasty 2008-

    Ray Emery bought out

    Brashear would put him in his place

    Pavel Datsyuk for the Selke

    Its funny that you can count on the normal 5 or 6 posters to use guarantee such events won't happen. Then like to go on their little ego trips about how much more knowledge relating to earlier winners and just spew it out. Now I'm glad they all have to once again shut the f*** up. This is just icing for those that were saying we are to small, we are to old, we need canadians, holland sucks, we didn't pick anyone up at the deadline, etc. Maybe some of you should just shut up because apparently more of the level headed posters seem to end up looking like they know there s*** more, and this is just another proven case.

    Kopecky

    I remember quite a few people wanting to get rid of Kronwall even up until last year. Basically lets lets Kopecky have a majority of the season to prove himself, he did start coming along towards the end started driving the net, he kind of was a worse verision of Flip in the fact that he should potential but couldn't get the score. Also it seemed like every team was always after him more so then everyone else on the ice so if he can get more focus on him and let the others do what they need sure.

    Question: Will the Wings sign a big name free agent?

    what are these things in which you speak?

    Red Wings and Babcock agree to three year contract

    if they brought back kocur as the assitant I doubt you would ever see Grando yelling at any of our coaching staff again. Also wouldn't mind seeing what he would if someone ran a player.

    Kopecky

    I feel bad for Kopecky he can't catch a break I hope we have another Kronwall incident, where everyone wants him gone for injuries or not breaking out but next season just tears it up. But I do love Helm to damn our team is to ******* good.
