So I was wondering if anyone knew the best place online to get these player shirts? I think the NHL.com store had zetterberg and datsyuk. But I was looking for other options and hopefully someone else.

Wow, great to get the 2 points out of that one. Felt like they were a bit disjointed at times. Could really see the pressure they were putting on in the end of the 3rd and in OT. Alfredsson had a few nice chances so that is a positive. I think he and Weiss will take atleast a dozen games to really get in the groove of playing with a new team and new system. A goal for Weiss should help his confidence going forward at least.

Fellow Wings fans, I need your advice. First and foremost, recommendations on where to buy the jersey? I do not live anywhere near Michigan, so, online retailers only. NHL.com seems to be a major rip off. The two places I have found are IceJersey.com and SportsK.com. Any others? Secondly, because this will most likely be the only jersey I intend on purchasing for quite some time, I am looking for a player that will be around for awhile. I have eliminated Datsyuk as it seems he only has 3 years max left in Detroit. To be honest, I am really looking at either Zetterberg or Nyquist. Z has 5 years left on his contract so I would say that is a pretty solid life for a jersey. Nyquist is a bit riskier just because he hasn't really played as much. Though I think we all liked what we saw from him towards the end of the year. I know its personal opinion really, but I wanted fellow Wing's fans thoughts on the subject matter. To all signs point to Nyquist being a long time Red Wing?

Wow, thanks for all the responses. I am pretty sure I will use SportsK. Does anyone have experience with IceJerseys.com? They also use sewn on numbers and lettering and they would be about $2.50 cheaper since SportsK charges shipping. Very happy that these places do the custom sewn on numbers on the Premiers. As far as what player, well, I think you guys talked me out of Nyquist. May be a little premature if I want to make sure the jersey has a long life.

Stumbled upon this yesterday looking for a Wings sweater on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GUSTAV-NYQUIST-2014-WINTER-CLASSIC-DETROIT-RED-WINGS-RBK-PREMIER-JERSEY-/360689299961?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&var=&hash=item53fac1f1f9 Seem's a bit high in price for some reason.

He has already warranted a camp invite! http://swehockey.se/Startsidesnyheter/2013/Juni2013/TreKronorsamlasforenOS-traffden12-14augustiiStockholm/

What is this you are talking about? If two RFA's file for arbitration it then would help the Wings buy out Samuelsson?

As much as I have been a Ryan fan since he came into the league, I don't think there is any chance that is is true. I remember reading shortly after the Anaheim series that Holland and Co. were thoroughly unimpressed with Ryan's compete level during the series. No way would they trade those assets for him, especially Tatar. Edit: punctuation

The NBA finals started June 6th. Game 1 of the SC Finals started the 12th. The NBA is typically later into June that the NHL, but the lockout pushed things back this year by a couple weeks.

You have no idea... but thrilled the Pens got dominated!

Gah, I think when the series was that close for the Wings it makes this loss even worse. Even if they "shouldn't" have gotten this far. To watch it slip from your grasp sucks. Very bummed right now, especially after a deflection goal like that. The one thing I don't want to hear tomorrow is how the Blackhawks deserved to win because of the penalty at the end of the game. All in all, can't wait for next season!

That was no dream. You were just watching the highlights from game 7 of the leafs and bruins.

I voted for Datsyuk and Tavares, yikes, I obviously don't know anything!

Looked like a typical Red Wings game where the controlled the shot chart, but lost in OT! Could have gone either way. Credit to the Wings for keeping the pressure up during the end of the overtime period. Most of all, thank you Brunner for sending me to bed before midnight!!

As much as I think the Wings have a better chance against the Ducks, can't say I am happy losing 8:00 start times.

I think the only question I have for the OP is: You have a shark?!

While Detroit has an advantage based off of games played, which team would you put money on getting in? The jackets have been on a tear lately. And surely have a lot of confidence going into the week. Hopefully the wings take this 1 game at a time. Start with a win tonight and things start to get easier.

They had back to back icings. Abby HAD to stay out there, whether Babcock wanted him to or not.

He is most definitely not worth the spot. Don't expect him ever to be more than a good AHLer that doesn't do much in the NHL. I've watched most of the Bruins games this year and he hasn't done much. They even put him out for a significant amount of PP time and he really did not produce. -6 over 20ish games and 4 points, I believe. No thanks!

Martin Gerber did it better!

You have to remember, that under this "plan" any team that is not in the Red Wings division is played the same number of times. So the Wings would see the Pens twice, as well as the Sharks twice and so forth.

So typical. The Wings lose on a shot wide that can't get covered on the far side.. Why does it feel like this is the way they always lose? I would have rather lost in the shootout than that.

Yeah, this was the proposal that was rejected by the NHLPA. So I would expect changes. I am not really sure how the realignment goes from here. The 4 conference system worked, but I just feel like having uneven conferences screws the teams that are in those conferences. Just like the MLB and their NL Central AL West scenario, it was stupid that the teams in the Central had a lesser chance of making the playoffs just because they were unfortunate in placement.

Loved this win and thought most guys played hard and well. Makes you wonder if the fact that Mrazek was in made them realize they needed to step it up. My one gripe with the way they played is the constant LAZY passes. Bertuzzi made several throughout the game where the pass ended up behind a teammate and had absolutely no zip to it. Ericsson plants himself behind the net and waits for the Wings to change, then comes out with the puck and gives an errant pass right back to the Blues. They need to tighten it up, it will cost them goals if they continue to turn the puck over like that. Other than that, well played game, and GREAT to see the bottom 6 put up points.

The way I see it Franzen was in the wrong for the slash. However, Perron sold that. Yeah it was a cheap shot by Franzen, but there is no way that that "took down" Perron. Both were equal cheapshots I don't see any reason to provide anymore discipline.
