    Fedorov: Red Wings were jealous

    You're kidding, right? I'm pretty sure there was like a 7 year waiting list for season tickets at that time. Wait, I know there was a 7 year waiting list because a friend inquired about season tickets and waited until 2004 when he finally had the chance to purchase them. Give me a break, 3,000 people weren't going to see Anna. This is the NHL, not the god damn NBA where people go to see movie stars and supermodels instead of the game.

    Officials...Conspiracy or Incompetence?

    I don't understand how this can be classified as "intent to blow the whistle". The reason the whistle was blown was because he had lost site of the puck because it was in the net. In watching the replay, the ref should have realized this. Call me biased, but I don't think this situation warrants anything but logic.

    NHL vs Free Streams

    If they want to cut down on the free streams, they need to lower the price of center ice online. I would buy it if it wasn't $150 for the season. The majority of the free streams are blurry or fuzzy, but it beats nothing. If you do find a good stream, you have to hope it doesn't get shut down or the person who runs the stream is going to in fact, stream every game. I would definitely purchase center ice online if it was $50-$60 a season. I really like the quality they offer, just not the price.

    Report: Toews, Kane and Keith close to extensions

    I don't get this. I'd be extremely surprised if Kane and Toews sign for less than 5 mil a year. Also, Campbell having a NTC could kill them (at least I think he has a NTC, someone correct me if I'm wrong).

    Think you're a Sports/NHL know-it-all?

    My buddy got up to $80 and cashed out and everything went fine. They get all their money from advertising.

    Wings RBK Jersey from China

    I've bought jerseys from both places, and they are awesome. Paid $45 for a Price Jersey and $30 for a Lids jersey. I'll keep ordering from here til I get a s***ty one. Lightinthebox doesn't sell NHL jerseys anymore though, and dhgate has a much better selection.

    Columbus another in line for possible relocation

    It's a great hockey market there. Growing up in Ohio, while we lack talent at the high school level, it's still a big sport in northwest, northeast, and its really catching hold on central ohio. Their biggest problem is they will always play second fiddle to the Buckeyes, regardless of the season.

    Hot start... Hot finish?

    I think you could throw Homer in there for a Red Wing off to a quick start. 7 goals in 12 games? I didn't think he'd score more than 7 all season, he's proven me wrong. I think Kopitar is going to end up finishing with a monster season, that kid is awesome.
  9. I've been more than happy with his play this season, but the only thing that really bugs me is he plays lazy sometimes and it's so easy to see. He made a very lazy pass last game and it ended up in a goal I believe on a breakaway by Edmonton.

    Suggestions for next CBA

    Here's my suggestion: make sure it gets done so we don't lose a full season again.

    Franzen out 4 months with torn ACL

    I don't know if anyone has suggested this and I didn't feel like reading through everything but I would assume Franzen goes on LTIR so he doesn't count against the cap. I say we lure Sundin out of retirement and sign him for like 1.5-2 mil. Get 'er done, Kenny! edit: also, can someone explain to me how LTIR works with respect to the cap? How much, if any, of Franzen's salary will come off our cap number this season?
  12. it's called the salary cap bud. you'll get your lesson come next year. as for our farm system, we still have solid prospects on their way .

    GDT: 10/1 NHL Opening Night

    Watch WAS/BOS on tv and watch MTL/TOR free online somewhere, that's my gameplan. Or vice versa.

    TSN Panel Pics

    Barry Melrose isn't doing himself any favors in his attempt to convince people he's not a moron. Pronger for both MVP and Norris? Hawks over Flyers in the Finals?

    [GDT] 9/16: Flyers, 1 @ Red Wings, 3

    Keep in mind these announcers are working in a city where people threw snowballs at Santa Claus.
  16. If atdhe is back up and working that's awesome. They stopped showing games part way through the season last year because the NHL found out they were streaming Center Ice Online for free.

    GDT 9/7 Redwings v Carolina

    Quick question: This isn't like legit preseason right? It seems like preseason for the kids who in all likelyhood won't be on the big squad this year. EDIT: Nevermind just answered my own question... Prospects tourney.

    McCarty likely to retire

    It sucks to see DMac go but it's about time (maybe a year too late, but whatever). I remember that goal in 1997. I was only 12 years old and he became my favorite Red Wing (along with Stevie Y). Watching the beating he gave turtle still gives me chills. It was great to see him win the cup in 2008 after hitting rock bottom. For those who want to hate on DMac, just please go away or go create your own thread to hate on him. If you can't see what he brought to this team and appreciate it, you're blind.

    1997 Wings/Flyers Flashback

    Vladi's hit in game 3 probably would have been called a 5 minute and a game misconduct for interference in today's hockey. Edit: D-Mac's goal is one of the biggest/best goals in Wings history, if not the biggest/best.
