More like he was pulled down. He fell face first on the ice.

That's a good contract for a baseball player

I couldn't get your link to work... But found another http://kuklaskorner.com/tmr/comments/just-like-the-winter-classic-red-wings-alumni-showdown-tickets-unlikely-to

This is good to see. I was almost under the impression that he was sick of being stepped over. Stick with it Gus you turn will come sooner than later.

OMG...HOCKEY IS BACK!!!!!!!!! THERE IS A LORD.

This a such a burden to bare. A strong will is what you need overcumb the forces at work. LGW supports you In your quest.

Is it true what said about the location of the new arena? Near Michigan and Trumble? Last I heard was gonna be by comerica

Cleary is mid season form

The air is getting slippery

The wings signed Brunner. No wait, the league is in other lockout. No wait, were back in the west after the shallacking of Boston tonight. No wait, official WC jersey announcement. No wait, the wings will move to Seattle. No wait, free beer nights ever Friday and Saturday night. Oh the possiblitys an endless... I'm going with an injury. Unfortunately. Nope I got it Fransen is now a goal scorer.

there was a link on here earlier.

Umm No... I mean it's not like they hired Roy as their coach. I'd like to know the over/under on how many games he gets through until he goes ape s*** on one of his players.

Dude there like one and the same

well only 263, Kipper had more yes and like two or three more shutouts... But best ever meh, too each his own I guess. Of course the Flames back then had a better team... Maybe

No I didn't look through all the post to see if it was posted yet but found this from training camp. Very interesting what is said about Franzen. she discusses the status of one Gustav Nyquist: The Wings open training camp today in Traverse City, and the early third line has Gustav Nyquist paired with Joakim Andersson, and veteran Todd Bertuzzi on the right side. Putting Nyquist with Andersson makes sense: The two have terrific chemistry, nurtured during their time together in the minors. They, along with former Wing Damien Brunner, made a formidable follow up to the lines centered by Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Nyquist, 24, is the only one of the 16 forwards currently on the roster who can be sent to the minors without waivers, but this is an unlikely scenario because Nyquist is way too skilled to be victimized by numbers. Not this season. He helped out with five points in 14 playoff games after seeing action in 22 regular-season games. He comes to camp determined to start and stay in Detroit. “I’m going to do my best, that’s what I’m planning to do to earn a spot,” Nyquist said. “I’ll have to make it even a harder decision for him, show him what I’ve got.” The “him” is coach Mike Babcock, who was sold on Nyquist’s readiness two years ago. Nyquist is all finesse, capable of moves that baffle opponents, while Andersson brings the defensive element to the line. Bertuzzi is making a comeback after missing much of last season with a sore back, and if healthy will add a soft pair of hands, strong stride and a big body. “It’s going to be a fun camp,” Nyquist said. “It’s going to be high-tempo out there, we’ve got a couple too many forwards, so I think we’re all excited.” The Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness took note of the fact that this September's routine is very...different...for Daniel Alfredsson... “I’ve been around a long time,” Alfredsson said after taking his physical on Wednesday prior to the opening of training camp. “It’s still exciting, but it’s obviously a big change for me coming here.” Alfredsson, 40, signed a one-year worth $3.5 million on the first day of free agency, leaving Ottawa where he had spent his entire 17-year career prior. “It’s a situation where you got to prove yourself again,” Alfredsson said. “In Ottawa I knew where I was at all times pretty much. I feel like I’ve got to put my best foot forward again. I don’t think it’s that much different. If I had been in Ottawa it would have been the same thing, when you work, you put 100 percent effort into it, no matter where you are.” Alfredsson had been the league’s longest serving captain until the move. “It’s a great situation we’re up here for a week, no distractions, just hang out and get to know all the guys and get to know them on and off the ice,” said Alfredsson, who could also earn $2 million in bonuses this season. “Hockey locker rooms are pretty much the same everywhere you go in the world. I know a lot of the Swedish guys, I know a couple of the other guys from before. It’s different, but it’s not that different. It’s going to be exciting. This is a great hockey market, which is fantastic. They really care about the team, very supportive. It’s going to be fun to start.” Alfredsson will be the eighth Swede in Detroit’s locker room joining Henrik Zetterberg, Niklas Kronwall, Jonathan Ericsson, Johan Franzen, Mikael Samuelsson, Gustav Nyquist and Jonas Gustavsson. “I’ve been very welcomed here, from staff to people around town and the players as well,” said Alfredsson, who had been skating informally in Detroit with teammates for the last two weeks. “It’s going to be fun to sort out who’s going to play with whom and for myself, where I fit in. It’s going to be fun.” MLive's Ansar Khan answered some camp-and-season-pertinent questions, too: Q. What are the plans, if any, to bolster our young D corps with an NHL-caliber top-two D-man? With this being a year of too many forwards and a year to push hard to get a Stanley Cup in (Daniel Alfredsson's) hands, it seems to make sense that we need a top-two D-man. What happens if Kronwall gets injured again? We will be stuck with Ericsson and Quincey as the top pairing? No thanks! Can we expect a trade for a top D-man before the trade deadline or hopefully sooner (preseason please)? --Michael A. They were seeking a top-three defenseman in the off-season, even made a pitch for Vancouver's Alexander Edler, who wasn't traded. But nothing materialized. It wasn't their highest priority because they like the top six they have. It is difficult to trade for a top-pair defenseman early in the season because they're so valuable. Plus, the Red Wings would need to dump salary to acquire anyone, and we've seen how difficult that can be. But some players are sure to become available later in the season, and I expect the Red Wings to be in the market for a top-three defenseman before the March 5 trade deadline. Quincey is an unrestricted free agent after this season and I have feeling he won't re-sign. That's another reason the Red Wings will look to acquire a defenseman. They could dangle a couple of forward prospects, since they have a surplus. They'll also need to create some cap room, which is easier to do later in the season because contracts are prorated. Q. Are (general manager) Ken Holland and (coach) Mike Babcock happy with what they are getting out of (Johan) Franzen or will they start to think about looking for a trading partner if he can't find a consistent game? They probably won't be able to replace his production for that low of a cap hit but a top-two D-man should be attainable in a trade with him involved. --Chris A. I don't think anyone in the front office is satisfied with what they're getting from Franzen. I'm sure they feel he is not meeting his potential and has more to give. He's been too inconsistent and disappears for long stretches. But he still manages to find a way to score 27-to-30 goals (his 14 goals last season projected to 28 in a full season). He's big, has good hands and a tremendous wrist shot. Like you said, they realize they can't replace his production for his $3.95 million salary-cap hit. Offense is a bigger concern than defense for this team. So I don't see them shopping Franzen for a defenseman

Loyalty towards the vets... Maybe Holland is hoping Alfie looks at this and picks him up for the next five years. JK.

He's got great work ethic that's not the issue... We are finally starting to bring in much needed youth. Sammy please be gone with you. Bert I sorry, we welcome you for your services. Toto...meh for what you did thanks.

Wait... What happened last night... Is this a dream/nightmare... Am I still sleeping... Did I wakeup in some parallel universe... Newman!!!!!

Mike Vernon... He was kinda good also

I know not of what you speak of. And that goes along with the whole 89-90 season as well.

Five dollar no holler... Me love you long time:) After next year...

Jerseyginity... That's hellafunny. Other than just tee-shirts and such. I've never been one for the real thing. Guess I think it's a little to NASCAR for my taste. But after watching the wings for 30 some years now I think I could get at least one:) just hope Kenny keeps him around if and when I get on.

RWA you line them up and we'll put them down:)
