Exactly. Pot, meet kettle.

Im not sure if 80 points means hes much of an underachiever...he's scored 70+ in 3 of 4 years in Atlanta... That being said, Id rather spend the money elsewhere... That being said, I could see Kenny sign him

Because this is the internet, and people can say anything they like, true or not? I hope he does know him, and that he is signing...2.5-3 and ill be happy...for that money though, id like to see 25+ goals and 50-60 points.

Schneider walks if he asks for 5 +, which means markov will most likely sign Bertuzzi and Hasek sign... Smyth could be a possibility tommorrow, although Kozlov wouldn't surprise me, and neither would a priessing like player. My secret dream signing- Cory Sarich

LOL...I laughed out loud at this one

Jim Rome said it best the other day on his radio show: " So-cal fans dont care about hockey, they care about winning. It will be forgotten within a week." What a waste...Thena gain, Canada cant support half the franchise's theyve ever had, so what else can the NHL do but have teams in the south...

That was pretty good...and very crepy

Thanks for making me almost cry. And thanks for making me a sens fan. That poor little kid. Mike Fischer just rearned a lot of repect in my book.

There is so much wrong with this post that I dont know where to start... Draper isn't going anywhere, and to say that he doesnt contribute is INSANE. There isn't a team in the league that wouldn't love to have a guy like that. Us most of all. Drury and Gomez would cost us a total of about 9-10 million. Where does that come from exactly? No chance on either of them coming here. Gomez isn't worth 5+ mil, and Drury is staying in Buffalo since Briere is most likely gone. For the record, he wont be coming here either. Those lines arent even coherent enough to be set in stone. Flip and Franzen arent top 2 forwards yet, Dats doesn't play wing, Homer is a LW, And Bert/Gomez aren't 3rd liners. I know you gave the "Not set in stone" disclaimer, but those lines are ridiculous.

This is all just supposition on my part... Gone- Calder Lang Sammy via trade Schneider (I dont want it, but he is going to be able to get 4-5 million via FA. Thats too much) Bertuzzi (I dont see him coming back unless he takes a 2-3 million paycut) The way we look right now contract wise: Zetterberg (2.6)- Datsyuk (6.7)- Holmstrom (2.25) Cleary (662k)- Filppula (710k)- Samuelsson(1.2) Maltby (883k)- Draper (2.1)- Franzen (941k) Kopecky (450k)- - Grigorenko (858k) Lidstrom (7.6)- Kronwall (3.0)- Lebda (650k)- Lilja- (1.0) Osgood- (850k) Carry over: Hasek Bonus- 900k Chelios bonus- 300k It looks like Grigs will play, or his contract will allow him to go back to russia if he chooses. Will Kopecky stay up or play in GR? Can we please trade Sammy? 33.6 million (I think my math is right) Projected Cap- 47 million 13.4 left to spend Re-sign- Hasek Chelios Markov Hudler (RFA) Winger options Kozlov (A solid winger for about 2 million, would compliment Datsyuk) Smyth- 3.5 is a bit pricey though...(Not for him, for our budget) D options Sarich is a steal at 1.9. If we can sign Schneids or Markov, id love to grab him. One way we could look: Grigorenko- Datsyuk- Kozlov (2.5) Holmstrom- Zetterberg- Smyth/Bertuzzi/FA (4.0) Maltby- Draper- Cleary Franzen- Filppula- Hudler Kopecky Lidstrom (7.6)- Sarich (2.5) Kronwall (3.0)- Markov (3.0) Chelios (850k)- Lilja- (1.0) Lebda (650k) Hasek (1.2) Osgood- (850k) 47.254 Hasek, Schneider, Markov and Bert's willingness to re-sign/asking prices will determine a lot of what we can/cant do.

Ozzie isnt a #1 goalie anymore. If Hasek retires, we need to sigh a FA goalie and give Howard another year. If the Wings bring in anyone, it wont be to back Osgood up, and it should be.

I wasnt aware that the jury was out to begin with.

Thats the pot calling the kettle black

Im sad yet I have nothing to be angry about. Great season, great run, thansk for showing up and taking it almost all the way!

Absolutely. Were 2 games from the cup finals. Thats nothing to sneeze at. Good job boys, Im proud. Now go wing two more.

Here's a nice article FOX SPORTS

I remember the years when we had Probert and Kocur together. That was awesome. Enforcers were a huge part of the game back then. I mean no one in the league dare touch gretzky for fear of Semenko and Mcsorely.

Why would the NHL want a team in tone of the biggest markets in the country to lose? Some of the logic from these people is mind boggling. Should "Bandwagon" fans root for a losing team, is that the point? The Wings are an original 6 team, how can anyone not expect them to have a huge following outside of Detroit. Since 1991(16 years): 3 Cups (10 all-time) 4 Finals appearances (21 all-time) 6 Conference finals (8 all-time since 1968) 16 Playoff appearances (55 all-time) 11 Division Championships (26 all-time) 5 Presidents Trophies One of the Best Players to ever play the game Steve Yzerman (Not to mention Howe) 51 Hall of Famers Trophies 1 Jack Adams (3 all-time) 1 Masterson (2 all-time) 1 Lady Byng (11 all-time) 4 Selke 5 Norris (6 all- time) 1 Hart (8 all-time) 3 Conn Smythe (4 all -time) 5 all time Calder 5 all-time Vezina What is so hard to understand? History+Success= More fans.

Not whining? Waaaa! His brother got the call because he was the third man in on a dirty hit. The refs saw it, and the league saw fit to look at it further. Im not the Ducks captain, but I can deduce that much.

Can anyone else imagine Babcock giving them a speech involving the words "Were two games away from the Stanley Cup finals" ? I can. And effort like the other night, where we execute and do all of the little things, and we could well be up 3-1 in the series. Pronger is out, and with the way Nieds played the other night, the Ducks could be helpless defensively. Dom needs to shine again. We need to take it to them again. We need to shell the net with shots. I see a 4-1 win.

Did anyone else see his rant today about how bad Buffalo was blowing it? He went off, and I was kinda shocked. He's still a tool.

The Wings didnt allow them to play their best game. That is a plain and simple fact. Anaheim should be thanking their lucky stars that this series is 3-0 right now...

looks like 27

Dont know if anyone posted this yet... Pics of the Holmstrom hit It's more than clear that they both need a suspension after seeing these
