    Ken Dryden on fighting in the NHL

    He's a goalie... and a politician... suck it Dryden, fighting is here to stay.

    10/13 GDT: Red Wings, 2 at Sabres, 6

    If Eaves doesnt play physical tonight he's a waste, with frickin May and Helm on the same line, woo, cannot wait! Cant believe Draper and Malts play there best hockey to start a season ever, and now they're benched? Not that I'm not in favor of it, but strange still. Good to see Babs knows May is needed in the line-up.

    10/13 GDT: Red Wings, 2 at Sabres, 6

    Because it's in Buffalo, Wings win 3-1 and May gets the Gordie Howe Hat Trick.

    Helm ready

    If May, Helm, Abdelkader and Ericsson are in the line-up, well I cannot wait!

    Bertuzzi = Lang?

    That's a pretty sick top 6, and having a 3rd line of Williams-Helm-Cleary isnt too shabby either.

    With Franzen out

    Jeremy Williams will get a look probably. But I'd love to see what Emmerton has, big fan of his in junior.

    Top 3 Former Wings

    1. Shanny - can still contribute, adds some grit, and another good beard. 2. Avery - the Sean Avery after Torterella who's playing the pest, drawing calls and contributing 3. Quincey - physical, can fight, and would be a great fit on the PP and isnt Meech/Lebda.

    Your top 5 favorite all time non Wing players?

    Yeah I know, but for like 10 regular season games and the playoffs. Would've been fantastic to grab him in like 92 or 93 and have him with Yzerman all those years, oh what could have been.

    Loving the fact that Mike loves May.

    Quinn Fined 10 Large

    Embarrasing. Quinn is right, Iginla wouldnt have gotten away with that in the old days, I'm surprised the Oilers didnt go after him. (No, Moreau fighting Iginla straight up isnt going after him.) It was a dirty play and had it been on Lidstrom and Babcock had said the same thing, everyone on here would be behind him.

    With Franzen gone, who would you trade for now?

    But why? Soft, and not exactly a goal scorer, Tangauy's a play maker. If Shahanan isnt an option, I'd rather the Wings sit and see what they got in Eaves, Abdelkader and Helm.

    Franzen out 4 months with torn ACL

    Rather have Shanny with Datsyuk then Homer, at least with Shanny you know he's capable of scoring on more then a backhand, tip or tap in, which unfortunately seems to be all Homer can do anymore.

    Franzen out 4 months with torn ACL

    No, he's much better then them, but I dont see Babs giving a guy brought in for an injury replacement a permanent spot in the top 9. lol me too, mindfly is comic relief to all of those who overreact

    Franzen out 4 months with torn ACL

    Leave him. It'd be a battle between Draper, Shanny and Maltby for a spot. With all of them nearing the end, it couldnt hurt. 14 points in 34 games on the 3rd/4th line isnt bad, and Brent Sutter praised him alot, the only reason the Devils put him on waivers wasthey wanted quicker, less talented guys on he 3rd and 4th lines. (What's new Jacques Lemaire) It is a fit, but I wouldnt put any stock in it, dont wanna be disappointed.

    Franzen out 4 months with torn ACL

    Hmm, now that you bring it up, sure couldnt hurt..

    Franzen out 4 months with torn ACL

    Well then. At least we have lots of cap room in case Kenny needs to make a deal. Huge blow nonetheless, at least this means we'll be seeing more of May. And Filpulla will be in the top 6 now.

    Wings 4th line

    Man, I love Homer, but he being in the mix makes it tougher, for the Wings to be tough. May and Helm on the same line would be fantastic, and with Maltby and Draper actually hitting and scoring, it's tough to take them out. Nonetheless, it's a good problem to have. I believe May is going to be around for the long haul though.

    Post Game Thread 10/8/09

    When Pronger went into that scrum, I was hoping he'd rip Chris Kunitz in half. He must have a soft spot for his old teamate, I hope that was just a mistake game. Philly better rip the Pens new buttholes every single game they play this year.

    Wings sign Brad May to 1 Year Deal, $500k

    Great news. For same price as Eaves, better player plays, get er going Brad!

    Hordichuk fined $2,500 for hit on Boll

    Hopefully Boll wants some retribution next time they play.
  23. Detroit # 1 Fan

    Updates from today's practice

    Gotta get Eaves in there soon, see if he's worth anything. If not, send him to GR and get May up. Meech for Lebda is a lateral move, nothing big.

    a partner for pasha and the mule

    No... just no. sirdrake was a legend, and all of his schemes were well thought out and could've given the Wings a huge advantage had Mike just listened. This guy is nothing like that. (The part about sirdrakes schemes is sarcasm just in case people dont pick it up)

    GDT 6/10 WSH/PHI - OTT/TOR

    Calgary beat Montreal 4-3 tonight to go to 3-0. Eric Nystrom had a hattrick, and Staffan Kronwall looks identical to Niklas.
