Hockey is a game, doesn't effect your life and thats just a reminder for you too...whats mind boggling though is how much you give a $h!t for not even watching the sport apparently. If you were watching you would know why a 1 year deal for alfy at 5.5 million IS worth it. When signing a skilled verteran that usually means one thing, the teams trying for the upcoming stanley cup. Unlike any other playoff team last year, Detroit was the closest to stopping the stanley cup champions. Might not mean as much now but it does tell you the redwings aren't as awful as your implying

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4nKJYV3UKs your depressing comments (life) needs some humor

3 teams i believe might work are Tampa/Washington/Minnesota

Now i hope we lose em, so wing fans like you can P!$$ off. Cleary ain't resigned...Alfie is better then no Alfie, and Weiss is more hard nosed then Filps (when in doubt go canadian)

I enjoy Abby playing alongside our eurotwins but having Nyquist in the top 6 and Tatar with Helm would be my ideal preferance. If we were to split them then this is how i would go about it Mule - Dats - Nyquist Z/Weiss - Weiss/Z - Alfy Abs - Helm - Tatar Miller - Andy - Sheahan/Eaves/Jurco/Bert/Sammy/Ferraro (option galore) Id love to have a all swede line but I don't see Weiss and Dats playing much together.

This doesn't make sense though...Kenny would just be signing another veteran to join Bert and Sammy in the press box

Because of this move, once the post-season is upon us i can see Zdawg having a unreal playoffs. Alfie hasnt won yet, and his fellow swedish friend will do what he can to change that. I do believe this will give zetterberg a extra spark this year though

Brunner over Cleary if I had to choose. With Holland stating that he is interested to do one more signing I have to believe that a trade could take place, and hopefully for a quality d-man. The uber amount of forwards we will potentially have means a few players need to go. Its no secret Kenny has been d-hunting for awhile now, and this team is a top 3 dman away from really looking lethal for the 2013/14 season.

I'm sure some have already come across this, but it's a fun watch. One byte I did particularly enjoy though is Getzlaf's comment to Big E, makes for a laugh. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nhl-awesome-playoff-sounds-round-1-video-24-164201575.html

luckily we are too old, slow, and inexperienced....

let them come out and start trying to run us... Wings will make them pay even worse then today. We have enough speed and skill to make any hawk out of position look stupid. Joe is gonna be rocking unlike the "madhouse" and instead of chanting "blackhawks suck," we as normal will ignore the opposition and cheer for our boys alone! Unless of course your kronwalled

We have played some great game 7's, this one shall be no different. Let thy mighty wing fly high, and watch a flock of ducks go bye bye

Making an excuse for Ovy is wasting your breath (typing hands) because this is just one example of his outstandingly horrid back checking he has done. This is even worse because of playoff hockey. That's one thing on this forum i don't understand. You have a player like Crosby who is gifted at the sport and has the best hockey sense in the NHL yet he's more ridiculed then a player and an effort like this. Crosby has great respect for this game, Ovy has half as much....

oi the cola one is surprising but I'm glad Berts being kept in. Once he see's Abs playing like the biggest guy on ice, it could inject big bad bert. In any case, proud of the boyz and whatever happens tonight i'm fortunate to be a wings fan. Now give em hell!!!!

you can see kronwall and zetterberg go straight to howie after the OT winner. Great leaders!

so it is the pills

5.3 million, so.... am i taking crazy pills? http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/04/16/its-official-detroit-signs-workhorse-howard-to-six-year-deal/

he's signed

i like the optimism, gotta believe!

Have to score a goal to win and we had the chances to do it. Howie Im sure felt like he could have been better and though I don't fault him for last night (rather the way things played out after Abs hit) it seemed as if though even he didn't commit to a full 60 minutes. Boys have to be better tomorrow and show the compete level they showed the first part of game 2. Hopefully after what happened yesterday it lights a fire under them because even though it may be deemed a suspension for Justin, at least he's showing some intensity. 3 Games in and no news on Helm kills... His intensity is being missed.

Poor Dekeyser, a simple injury like that would be frustrating to deal with. Good to get the W, nice to see Gus get rewarded n' beauty reaction of is winner too. Even though we came close to having a heartbreaker, we got the win and now wings just have to keep hold of this series which means dominate at home. it would be nice after some bad news like Dekeyser to get news of Helms return. Especially when thinking about that OT winner, what a moment

Lids wouldn't be seeing much of teemooo even if he was playing......zing

if we lose at home, then I'm worried

Bert needs to play and hopefully help our forecheck. I bench Toots or Eaves. I love the toots but his stupid penalty cost us a G... Missing Helm like crazy but it seems like this year is a reach for 43, unless i missed something

they all now remember playoffs aren't always fun
