Detroit # 1 Fan

I'd feel alot worse about this if Helm wasnt up, he should be able to handle the bulk of the physical play, hopefully. But hurry back Dano, we need you!

If Dano and Drapes are no goes for Game 1, I imagine you'll see Leino.

So his own teamate running him in practise makes him useless?!? mindfly, COME ON! About the news, terrible. I was just looking forward to Cleary getting his game back for the playoffs, and he gets hurt. Hurry back Dano

Alright, that Franzen one at the bottom of the page made me laugh.

Round 1 Template: SJS/ANA (4-1) DET/CLB (4-1) VAN/STL (4-2) CHI/CAL (4-2) BOS/MTL (4-0) WSH/NYR (2-4) NJD/CAR (3-4) PHI/PIT (4-3) WCC - Det ECC - Bos SCC - Det

These are mine, I just think Chelios will be in by Game 2 or 3, Lebda isnt gritty enough to handle guys like Nash and Torres.

Maltby lives for the playoffs, I doubt he sits, Babcock even said a couple days ago he's looking to veterans like Malts and Drapes to step up like Drake did last year. Gotta be Kopecky, 8 good games out of 100 some isnt good enough. Glad to see Darren up, love his style (and his birth place )

Here Here! Hopefully Stuart raises his play in the postseason, and I just love Cleary. Good Canadian Boys.

hahahaha, do we have a negative sirdrake on our hands?!? Oh my. As long as the ladies have something to do, and it doesnt invovle hairgrowth.... everyone wins

Yeah, I imagined as much after I posted it. Hudler will probably leave to an offer sheet, and Fillpula will likely be traded if Hossa is retained. If not, there are about 100 different scenarios of things that could happen with the roster.

They do, but for a young guy like Hudler to turn down his shot at money, I cant see it happening. I'm just glad I'm not as attached to Hudler as I was Lapointe who had the same ordeal. Ideally with Hudler, I'd hope a s***ty team would give him a decent deal so we could take the draft picks and grab some soon NHL ready talent, but who knows right now.

Sweet! I'll be able to see all the games, no problems with my football schedule, I'm pumped now! GO WINGSSSS

I'd love to have Lemaire as strictly a defence coach, no one would ever be out of position in Jacques system. But I think he'll go to Montreal if for nothing else but he can speak french and that's all they care about.

As much as I'd love to keep Hudler for that money, he'll get an offer sheet of 4-5 million or more, and would be nuts to turn it down.

Holmstrom-Datsyuk-Hossa Franzen-Zetterberg-Hudler Cleary-Fillpula-Leino Helm-Draper-Maltby Downey/McCarty Lidstrom-Kronwall Rafalski-Stuart Ericsson-Lilja Chelios(if re-signed)/Meech Ozzie Howard Kenny makes it work somehow, crazy bastard.

lol @ CBS sports That'd be the worst cup finals in history, not to mention both teams suck. My predictions for the first round EASTERN CONFERENCE #1 Boston Bruins vs. #8 Montreal Canadiens (4-0) - Montreals a joke, Lucic is gonna feed all over them #2 Washington Capitals vs. #7 New York Rangers (2-4) - Lundqvist and Avery are too much for the Caps to handle #3 New Jersey Devils vs. #6 Carolina Hurricanes (3-4) - Marty puts on a show but MVP Ward stimeys the Devs #4 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #5 Philadelphia Flyers (2-4) - Mike Richards. Nuff Said. WESTERN CONFERENCE #1 San Jose Sharks vs. #8 Anaheim Ducks (4-2) - They just kick the ever loving s*** out of each other, San Jose beats the one line team #2 Detroit Red Wings vs. #7 Columbus Blue Jackets (4-1) - Mason crumbles, Nash stumbles, Wings win #3 Vancouver Canucks vs. #6 St. Louis Blues (4-0) - Luongo beats the magical team #4 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #5 Calgary Flames (4-1) - Calgary have too many injuries, despite Chicagos inexperience

Ozzie played great today. Only 2 goals against, made some big saves. That Toews thing was all on Stuart. As far as the regular season goes, WHO CARES! Playoffs! Woooooooo.

Fitting we've been beating the piss out of them since they came into the league and now we're gonna do the same in their 1st playoff appearance. Wings in 5!

Jesus, Khabibulin.

Ozzie looks great this game, good news. It doesnt matter how terrible the rest of the team is looking, right now.

Stuart is a ******* dolt, INICIATE CONTACT ON TOEWS!! He's sat back and watched all year and has had his worst year because of it.

Eh, I hate to go back to 2002 for luck. Last time we hoped for something "02ish", we got canned by the Ducks in game 6. I just hope this team can bring it come Game 1 and keep it until their 16th win.

That's sounds promising, but room for a goaltender? Could Hossa really give us an extra 1.5-3 million (Wings money for a goalie) in extra space? It almost seems unfair

Nashville, Colorado and Dallas. Funny how that works eh?

What was happening at the Hawks bench there?
