    Winter classic tickets

    Anyone else get the winter classic ticket e-mail yesterday? Basically, had a two hour time frame to buy tickets for the game yesterday. Picked up two good seats for $500 for the pair. Seemed crazy expensive until I hit up stubhub after and saw equivalent tickets were going for around $600 PER ticket. Anyway, finally locked in!
  3. Hahaha. And a NTC to boot. I appreciate Cleary's hard work here over the years, and his come back story is an awesome one, but I definitely won't miss seeing him loose every puck battle he's in and fall on his face every shift. The guy is do doubt one of the hardest workers but simply doesn't have the skill to match. Good luck Cleary! Enjoy your massive overpayment!

    Wings sign Nyquist to 2-year, $1.9m deal ($950k/yr cap hit)

    Don't know how we're gonna shed the cap. Aren't we about 2 mil over now?

    Abdelkader Hypothetical

    Solid grinder, nothing more. Should stick to centering our 4th line in in my opinion.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    4 mil? I mean, I love Brunner as much as the next guy, but come on......guy only has half a season under his belt. We all know what happened to........wait, who was the guy who went to Dallas and scored a hat trick his first game just to go cold half season- onwards?

    Wings Attempting to Re-sign Cleary

    Great. 3 more years of the Dan Cleary drinking game. (Drink everytime he falls). Needless to say I was often drunk.

    Jim Nill takes Red Wings’ director of amateur scouting to Dallas

    Funny, was just having a discussion on these forums about how important our scouts were. This is a huge blow but honestly, Hakan is the essentially piece. He's the guy who pretty much hand picked Datsyuk, Hank, Franzen, Nyquist....and of course Lidstrom He's the guy we can't lose under any circumstances.

    Wings sign Stephen Weiss, 5-years, $24.5m

    Haven't watched a lot of Tampa games, but apparently the consensus is his two way game has been lacking the last few years. Bad coverage in own zone, slow to get back on defense, floating more. The hope is Weiss is a star that has been stuck with crap linemates his career. Having some decent pairings should really allow him to showcase his talent. key is staying healthy......

    is anyone happy right now?

    I pray you're right. The dump and chase game doesn't suit us.

    Bobby Ryan to Ottawa

    strange because with that kind of logic, we wouldn't have signed Weiss. He didn't exactly light it up last year but now because of one lousy playoffs, we lost interest in Ryan?

    Stephen Weiss on his way?

    DONE 5 years at 4.9M Holland actually made a good signing.

    Players of Interest

    Helen St. James reports we're working on a deal for Weiss.... Would be awesome if true

    Wings sign Alfredsson to 1-year, $3.5m deal (+$2m bonuses)

    And praytell what was the last decent summer FA signing by Holland? Gonna have to go back a while....

    Wings sign Alfredsson to 1-year, $3.5m deal (+$2m bonuses)

    Holland simply doesn't learn. Wish I could say I don't believe it, but completely expected from the guy who ran after Modano, Sammy, and Jagr. 40 years old and will have to adopt to a brand new system and style of play All thats left now is Clearly and that will be our free agent splash.

    Wings sign Alfredsson to 1-year, $3.5m deal (+$2m bonuses)

    Per Khan Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 3m Can confirm what has been reported, Daniel Alfredsson will sign 1-year deal with Red Wings after noon.

    Wings in on Alfredsson

    Just threw up in my mouth. My god, how does Holland still have defenders?

    Wings in on Alfredsson

    Youth is overrated anyway. 40 year olds win you cups.

    Wings in on Alfredsson

    He's probably coming. Same guy who signed Modano, Samuelsson, both with great success ofcourse

    Grabovski Bought Out

    Grabovski.....the guy who's not afraid to punch women in the face or demand a trade when you're scratched for a game. The dude has major major attitude problems and am even surprised he's being considered. Not the type of attitude we want in our dressing room, especially with the youngins.
