Detroit # 1 Fan

That deal was useless, and this draft has been a bum. Pronger has been the only thing all day. If Pittsburgh takes Landon Ferraro I swear to god...

Thanks Detroit, why dont you really ruin this draft for me and not get one of the top 30 ranked Canadians that were still available. What a waste of time.

He's a great guy to have around. I knew this was coming, it is the Red Wings, good news, now get Downey signed up!

Burke should be all over that trade. A young defenceman who can play top 4 minutes for TO, it'd get him another top 10 pick. Like, that one is perfect.

This is Garth Snow, not Mike Milburry.

In 05-06, he scored 7 less goals in a season, then Kopecky has his entire career. More penalty minutes, and if I could find the statistics for it, hits probably too.

What I wouldnt give for Clowe. And also, no to Ohlund.

Holland on NHL live right now, saying they've had discussions during Febuary, talks stopped during the playoffs, and there have been little talks this week. No formal, official offer as of yet. He also said, this is good news for some, bad news for me. If the cap hit is to Kens liking, and he doesnt have to make too many moves to incorporate it, he'll sign Hossa. Not happy about that.

Neil will probably wait until his buddy Heatley gets dealt to San Jose and sign there. And people saying how could Neil keep up with Helm? Seriously? Neil isnt slow, he has an injury plagued year, he had a fine time running Niedermayer all night and day in the Stanley Cup finals in 07, and last time I checked Nieds is pretty fast.

See ya Feds.

Dont believe it. Once TSN or Mlive reports something, then it's true.

I hope Sweden blows it hard, like loses all there games 10-0. Our players get rest, there pissed off and now they want want to win the Cup all the more.

For that price, he'd be worth the gamble. He's scored 20 before and was a solid player for Toronto in his first year, I remember that hit he had on Alfredsson, oh man, that ******* got it bad!

This will be great. It rots me that NBC is dictating everything the NHL does though.

It's gonna be weird not yelling at the tv when he screws up, or getting way to excited when he scores a big goal. Good luck Sammy.

Excuses, excuses. I understand the injuries hurt us, but the Wings lost. Injuries have no impact on scoring more then 2 goals in 2 games. If our offence can beat that "mediocre" goalie more then 2 times, in 2 games, we win the Cup. That's what it comes down too, man, it really hasnt been until lately that I see how whiney some Wings fans can be.(Obviously not everyone) Plus, I really dont believe Fluery is some unbelievable goalie, but he's good enough to win a Stanley Cup, just like Ozzie in the years he's won.

92 Pens vs 97 Wings would be one hell of a series, at the end of the day, I think our defense and physical play would get to the Pens in the end. It'd be a grind though.

Heaters probably going to NY or SJ. And you guys are making yourself look like idiots. Free_Candy is actually one of, if not the best Pens fans on this forum. great66 is the one who proclaimed Pittsburgh are the new Oilers. Like I hate the ***** Pens fans too, but the lengths it's takin to on here is embarrasing. If the guy is up for having discussion about a hockey topic, why not? So he isnt a fan of the BEST TEAM IN ALL OF PRO SPORTS, oooh aahhh, he's here to talk hockey. Back to Heatley, I dont really believe he's really a bad cancer, asking for a trade after signing that big deal makes him look like a jackass, but if his cap hit were 4 mil, I'd take him over Hossa any day of the week.

Yikes, they'd get scored on every shift probably. If Lebda and Ericsson looked overmatched together in the playoffs, imagine the havoc those 2 will go through.

The only choice there could've been. Congrats Mike, go win us the Gold!

Neither are worth 3 million. I keep hearing Hudler cant play a physical game, but Filppula does? Hudler tries to, he's just to small and weak to have a physical impact, Filppula turns off more checks then I've ever seen. He plays solid defence, but his offensive game isnt that great, he isnt very creative whereas Hudler is. If Hossa's resigned, and we can get Hudler for a cheaper price then Fil, I'd have no problem if Fil was dealt.

Thanks for everything Cheli, I'll miss ya buddy. His playoff runs in 02 and 07 were great to watch.

Met Cabbie at the Stampede last year, hilarious guy. I love these videos though, the only guys that get along with him are like Malts and Ozzie. Helm seems afraid of him, and Cleary and Drapes were nice, but you knew they wanted the interview to be over.

Zetterberg (6.083) - Datsyuk (6.700) - Dan Cleary (2.800) Lucic (0.850) - Toews (2.800) - Ryan (1.922) Moreau (2.000) - M. Richards (5.750) - Laperriere (1.500) Glencross (1.200) - Helm (0.598) - Clarkson (0.838) J. Neal (0.822) Lidstrom (7.450) - Ericsson (0.900) Burns (3.550) - Bieksa (3.750) Keith (1.475) - Quincey (0.525) Walker (1.000) S. Mason (0.905) Osgood (1.417) 54.835 mil Good mix of youth and veterans, got some scoring and some grit. Great leadership, but young legs too.

I'd take any of them in a heartbeat except Legace. Bertuzzi is an interesting one, but I doubt that would happen. My top choices would be Madden/Lappy/Neil, but like I said, any of them is fine.
