Winged Scooter

Bring back Mac, hell yeah, just put him in the front office , the could make him a scout, but have his sole purpose as a scout be to look for hard nosed, edgy, gritty wingers!

If I were a bettin' man, I'd have to say Florida ( but damn! On paper Phoenix sure does look awful! ).

Yep, the Jofa pants are definetly longer, ( and cheaper from what I've heard , I paid 35$ for mine, and I've had them going on 3-4 years now...)

I have heard the CCM tacks are great skates, but I love Bauer Vapors... All my pads and my helmet are Bauer as well. My pants are the weird ones, their Jofa, but comfortable as hell.. all my sticks are Sherwoods ( I always buy the cheap ones since I am such a HACK! )

IMHO I think Holland is done with Free Agency, this year's trade deadline however, I expect yet another Holland gem. Unlike last year the lack of acquisitions isn't upsetting at all, I think this team can more than compete as is, and I can't remember if it was Devellano or Holland that said it, but picking up a player just for the sake of getting a player is stupid.

Cool, now his plus minus will drop to what? - 36? -40?

It's like that old Seinfeld stand up bit: "We don't root for the players any more, we root for the jerseys." Perfect example: a guy named Sergei who used to wear 91 for the Wings back in the day, oh how quickly fans turned on him when he decided to bolt for the California sun. I personally have no problem if Forsberg can come here and contribute, but it's a moot point. Just AIN'T gonna happen.

Okay that's funny! Eklund and his dog: "Arf, arf" "What's that Sparky? The Red Wings are trading Hudler to the Penguins for Sidney Crosby?" "Arf, ARF, ARF!!" "That's amazing, buddy. I will have to post it on my web site right away!" "Arf, aarf" "Thanks old pal, your a good dog!"

Forsberg, yeah, right, sure, mmm hmm.

Hurricane Ditka can beat the Wings or Mini Ditka or Ditka while reclining in a Barko-Lounger.....

That's interesting I seriously doubt there is a sign and trade in the works, I thought Hasek signed before Hudler did ? I could be wrong though ( because I often am... )

Okay, that schedule BLOWS, why do we have to play the $%^&*()$#@ SOUTHEAST division again, can any one remember the last time we played Montreal (non-preseason?) Garbage, absolute garbage...... :nonono:

That's a great idea, better yet, how about a Grinder concert after every Friday/Saturday night home game?

Geez, can anyone here imagine the JOKE the Wings would have become if we had actually traded Yzerman for this guy back in 96? Yikes!

Personally I would love to see Mac come back to the Wings, as a scout or in some sort official postion, come on Kenny, there's gotta be some kind of job you can give him!

That's good news for Shanny, he was always one of my favorite players on the Wings, but from all accounts I've heard he really enjoyed last season in NY, it's nice when you can end your career pplaying somewhere you want to be...

Can't really say, comparing the two would be like saying who's better ? Pudge or Verlander, two completey different types of players.......

Nahh, Sammy's not lazy but he does suck, how about he's Inaccurate And He Sucks?

That is awesome! I will check it out my second all time favorite logo behind the Old English D, here's to the Brewers/Tigers 2007 World Series! And just so I'm not derailing the thread, I'm still whining about free agency!!!

That's probably true, but what will his official trademark be??

NFM, I can't bring it in my heart to root for the Brew Crew until they bring back that kick-ass M-B "mitt" logo from the 80's that reminds me of Molitor, Yount, Ogilvie, Cooper, Simmons, etc! As for THIS thread, I am ALLOWED to whine! FA 2007 is not too much fun so far.....

Yeah I saw a posting about that in the Rumor Mill section, If Hasek leaves what then ? Aebischer? Howard? I'm not enjoying the FA period nearly as much as I thought I would .

Hmmmm, very interesting, could this year be the "rebuilding" year that we all thought last season was going to be?

I don't think Hudler's gonna be in the mix unfortunately, I heard on the radio this morning that it is very likely he will go to arbitration, or to play in Russia even....

That is a GREAT point I can't believe how many people are upset by this deal, look at it this way the money for Rafalski is almost identical to Schneider got from Anaheim BUT Schneider is Thirty-freakin'-eight years old, 6 mil is too much ( unless of course your name is Lidstrom ). They were talking about the deal on WDFN this morning, and a great point came up, Schneider is a LITTLE more gifted offensively, yes, but Rafalski is no slouch, and Rafalski is better defensively than Schneider, and better at one on one matchups. Someone else here also posted that he is very durbale, I see lots and LOTS of upside here!
