Kenny Holland should trade away all the injured players that did not perform well during the Vancouver game.

Everyone knows the deadline ended two months ago.

That's very good.

Need all the sandpaper we can get for the rest of the season to try and stop teams from taking shots and injuring Wings players.

Need stricter laws on drunk drivers. Thankfully nobody was hurt for his poor decision in getting behind the wheel while under the influence.

It stinks that he is gone.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_3117424,00.html The 20 Premier League clubs have unanimously agreed to further examine a radical plan that would see each team playing an extra match a season abroad. Under the proposal, matches between two Premier League sides could be staged in the world's largest cities in the Far East, Australia and the USA. A new round of 10 competitive fixtures would be played across the world over one weekend in January, beginning in the 2010/11 season. 39 games The idea would be to cash in on existing interest in the Premier League around the world, and the extra money generated from TV would be split equally among the 20 clubs. The details of how the system would work have yet to be finalised but it would mean each club playing 39 games, with a draw to pick out each side's overseas match. There would be a sporting criteria, such as league position, to decide which clubs play each other. And under the proposal, points earned in the overseas game would count towards the final league position. Innovative Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "The 'international round' is an exciting and innovative proposal that needs careful consideration before being introduced. "However, this concept recognises the truly global appeal of the Barclays Premier League whilst understanding that the traditions of the English game have always underpinned our success. "We believe that an 'international round' of matches will enhance the strength of the Barclays Premier League as a competition; create extra interest in all 20 Premier League clubs at home and abroad; and allow increased investment in talent development and acquisition, facilities as well as our football development and community programmes." Scudamore added: "The globalisation of sport is both an opportunity and a challenge; one that needs addressing in a responsible way. "We are a better competition for being a cosmopolitan league and have benefited from our increased international reach. "Nonetheless, it is critical we retain our English character by improving our efforts to produce home-grown talent, deepening our commitment to community engagement and continuing our investment in the grass-roots."

Doesn't Turco fold in the playoffs?

That guy has sandpaper!

I'm surprise the Joe opps I mean the pepsi center did not chant that.

Man that was an awesome game. The bench should of let Babcock have a go.

Every Basketball analyst in the media wants the All-Star game gone and thinks it's dumb. I can thank my dad for me knowing this since he has ESPN on the TV all the time.

Red Wings Till I Die!

I would rather have congress fix the U.S. then fix Pro sports.

That chick in the state jersey was nice looking just a couple minutes ago.

If the smaller teams can't make it then they should be moved or folded.

In Cyrillic or Latin?

He seems to know what to do. I don't understand why Nashville Fans slammed on this guy.

Most of the gear looks stupid. Insert puke icon

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/10/sports/hockey/10puck.html Almost 20 years ago, the N.H.L. embarked on a master plan to expand into the Sun Belt. The idea was to add teams in nontraditional hockey markets and, in the jargon of the day, increase the N.H.L.’s television footprint and make it popular across the United States. But today many of the league’s Sun Belt teams are enduring attendance problems, plummeting local television ratings and talk of franchise shifts. With N.H.L. clubs thriving in Canada and in traditional hockey cities in the northern United States, the league’s longstanding Southern strategy may have run its course. “It was a noble experiment,” said Drew Dorweiler of the Montreal valuation and accounting firm Wise, Blackman. “But five years from now, I can see quite a few Sun Belt teams relocating. At the least, the league will be short a couple.” Evidence that Southern teams are struggling abounds. Local TV viewership for the Atlanta Thrashers in the first half of the season was down 50 percent from last year and in Dallas, Tampa Bay and Phoenix it has dropped by 29 to 35 percent. (It rose by 50 to 114 percent in Detroit, St. Louis and Minnesota.) The Nashville Predators came close to leaving town recently after missing several attendance benchmarks associated with their arena lease. And according to Forbes magazine, four of the league’s five least valuable franchises are in southerly locales: Nashville, Washington, Phoenix and Atlanta. “There have been problems with a lot of teams in nontraditional markets since the late ’90s,” Dorweiler said. “Except for brief periods when a Florida or a Carolina has a Stanley Cup run, there just isn’t enough interest in the sport to make it work. There comes a point when the losses become too much, and teams are put on the block.” The Dallas Stars are the only warm-weather team estimated by Forbes to be in the N.H.L.’s top quarter in terms of value. “The Stars have done a great job of attracting people, largely because of the experience at the arena,” said Michael Rapkoch, president of Sports Value Consulting, a Dallas company that advises professional franchises. “They’ve found the right niche for hockey in Dallas. Other teams in nontraditional hockey markets have to find what fits their particular market.” Paul Kelly, president of the N.H.L. Players’ Association, said the players want all the clubs to be financially healthy, but “if a franchise is not doing all it can do to maximize revenue, that obviously affects the players.” “My own belief,” he said, “is that if a team from a nontraditional market has to relocate, it should go to one of the Canadian cities, like Winnipeg, where it would have the fan support and the revenue streams to do well.” With the N.H.L. turning increasingly to a receptive audience in Northern Europe, what happens with its efforts to “grow the sport” in America’s southern latitudes remains to be seen. “We missed the boat 20 years, 25 years ago,” the N.H.L. great Marcel Dionne said last week, speaking on the Toronto radio station Fan 590 of the league’s efforts to sell hockey in the South. “Keep on trying all you want,” he added. “It ain’t happening.”

This is a good laugh, I have heard a few pred fans say they have a chance at taking the division.

Our Defense was not playing well and the second line was not doing much.
