"Phanuf just follows thorugh".......riiiiiight. He's obviously fallen, down, and Phanuf just hit him anyway. f*****

HOW THE f*** CAN U NOT CALL THAT

Chelios leaves with leg/ankle injury Posted by Ansar Khan February 22, 2008 21:43PM Categories: Update The Wings' already depleted defense took another hit during the first period of Friday's game when Chris Chelios was hit in the back of his right leg/ankle from a hard point shot by Adrian Aucoin during a Calgary power play. Chelios needed help getting off the ice and briefly went to the dressing room before returning to play two more shifts. He was in noticebale pain and tried to walk off the injury between shifts. Eventually, he left the game later in the period. The Wings have not provided an update yet.

wow, with our current d lineup, theres gonna be many scoring chances for the flames.

will i get flamed if i say Sammy is actually having one of his better nights?

Wings say 'team push' for Sundin simply untrue; Mac likely to be signed, waived, sent to Grand Rapids Posted by George James Malik February 22, 2008 16:02PM The Detroit Red Wings are debunking a rumour made by the Fan 590's Howard Berger, who says that the Wings' players have petitioned GM Ken Holland to acquire Sundin. Here's the take from the Free Press's Helene St. James: February 22, Detroit Free Press: Henrik Zetterberg greeted the news with a laugh - the kind that said, yeah, right. As if Holland needs players to prompt him to make a trade. "My personal opinion," Kronwall said, "I don't think he wants to go anywhere. I think he'll end up staying." Mike Babcock doesn't see it happening, either, because the Leafs would need to get a huge return on their captain. "The Things about it is, there's a cost and a reward factor," Babcock said. "I don't see that happening. I don't think that's going to happen in Detroit. I could be hugely mistaken, but to me when, when you're Mr. Flether (Leafs GM Cliff Fletcher) and you go to the media and tell them what you got for this guy, who's been the face of your franchise, it's not coming from Detroit, because we're not giving up that." Holland told St. James the usual--that he's looking to bolster the line-up with a top-six forward and a depth defenceman--but he also revealed that he hopes to sign Darren McCarty just before the trade deadline so that the team can expose him to waivers. Once waived, McCarty would be allowed to stay with the Grand Rapids Griffins indefinitely to get his conditioning back up to NHL standards: It would be more ideal to be able to keep McCarty in Grand Rapids longer, because he hasn't played hockey all season. Holland said Friday that while the rest of the NHL is "in February, for McCarty, it's October," - meaning that's how far behind McCarty trails Here's the gist of the rumour scuttlebutt via the News's John Niyo: February 22, Detroit News: Word out of Toronto -- and, yes, that's always a dangerous way to start -- is that the expected Mats Sundin-to-???? deal could go down before the weekend is over. Here's what we do know: With the Leafs officially out of it, GM Cliff Fletcher finally met with Sundin on Thursday, and according to TSN he asked him to give him a list of teams. (Sundin has a no-trade clause, so he controls his own fate here.) The Leafs reportedly wanted their answer by today, and Fletcher, who met with Sundin's agent today, is on record as saying he won't wait 'till the last minute if he's going to deal his captain. Sundin made himself scarce after last night's loss to Buffalo, with team spokesman saying he had "the flu." Not surprisingly, he also missed today's practice with "the flu," as did on-the-trading-block defenseman Bryan McCabe, though his case of "the flu" didn't keep him from meeting with Fletcher today to discuss his future. Meanwhile, Howard Berger from the The Fan 590 in Toronto reports today that Wings' players are still pushing for Sundin (see Ted's post below for Zetterberg response), though it's worth noting that Detroit's rivals (i.e. Anaheim, San Jose) would seem have more to offer. You can listen to the interview with Berger here (or you can download it as an MP3--and at the 7:40 mark, Berger claims that a half a dozen Wings, not all of them Swedes, have lobbied Holland to push for Sundin's services. As for those comments by Kulfan? February 22, Detroit News: The Wings also laughed off reports out of Toronto they've approached general manager Ken Holland about acquiring Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin before Tuesday's 3 p.m. trade deadline. "Uh no, no," said Zetterberg, whether the Wings' Swedish contingent has approached Holland. Holland said the Wings will make Darren McCarty a contract offer sometime this weekend. Kulfan notes that there's a hot rumour about Sergei Fedorov heading to Ottawa, but you never know with the rumours that come from a certain website that wants to charge you $20 to become an "insider." The rumour regarding Sundin supposedly is constituted of Sundin and Hal Gill to Detroit for either Filppula or Hudler, a top prospect, and a draft pick, which is ridiculous.

The players themselves totally debunked the rumor. None of them, including the coach, see him coming here.

not sure if he's just downplaying everything or if there really isn't anything going on like he says.

Fletcher is saying NOTHING is imminent. Think the press is way exaggerating.

omg, I dont believe this. I cant believe theres actually a chance here......

+ get people at the Joe

something big is happening in Toronto right now. Fletcher is meeting with Mat's agent at this very moment. Trade could be imminent.

"Detroit Red Wings: General manager Ken Holland is looking at every possibility of landing a big scorer because Holland always looks at every possibility. He's made overtures for most of the premium players, but Holland is saying he also doesn't want to give up his future for a rental player. He believes he has enough depth to be a quality team for a few years if he doesn't trade it away. The Red Wings will look at defensive depth, but that's a lower priority than a scorer. That scorer's name won't be Hossa or Sundin, either. " -MLIVE Saying what I've been saying. Sundin or Hossa is just not gonna happen people. We'll get a scorer and perhaps even a d-man but it'll be a scorer with maybe 10-15 goals on the season who will come cheap. I'm STILL saying we should cross our fingers for Feds. He's one of our few realistic options and he seems to playing good lately. By Tuesday, Sundin will either be a Leaf or a Duck. And Hossa will be traded to a team for the farm. Neither of em are coming here.

I think we should just hope for Feds and Stuart. theres no way we can match the offers of these teams...

please, no more damn injuries.

Turns out he's sick with bronchitis

even 6 mil is too much for him. He's no Crosby. 4-5 mil seems more up his alley.

can't believe that, theres no way. That'd put him in the top 5 paid players in the league.

i can't believe how quiet its been today

hockey news eh?

"Anaheim is said to be offering Ryan, Mikkelson and EDM's 1st round pick for Sundin, Stajan and a 2009 2nd round pick." -HockeyLeaks Sounds like a pretty realistic trade.

but you could just use Hockeybuzz.....
