Detroit # 1 Fan

Afterwards? You mean when Niklas Kronwall walks in, says "Hey guys, what a game! Hey, whats that smell?" And everyone replies "Its chris chelios" Ah, sirdrake has made this board so much more entertaining.

Downey should play tonight, this is getting ridiculous. Wings will win 6-1 regardless, Drake gets a goal and 2 assists, Cleary gets 2, and the rest is spread out between ZDH and Lidstrom and Rafalski. And nothing is gonna stop Chelios tommorow either!

He needs to shoot more, thats the story of our team. Filpula has played pretty good, but he gotta start putting the puck in the net. Same with Hudler and Sammy, puck in net, shoot!

This is probably the funniest thing I have ever read, I cannot stop laughing whenever I read it.

Other then Claude Lemeuix and Alexie Yashin, I'd take any top 6 forward over Sammy I just dont think Fedorov will solve this teams problem, or be the answer as people are stating he will. We sure as heck aint trading for him this early anyways, he isnt worth 6 million, and we dont have that much space.

Fedorov hasent done anything so far this season, how exactly is he looking good? Forsberg is playing is? Oh wait, how good can you look practising in Sweden. We wont be around the middle of the pack in december, Fedorov will not solve our problems, people on here would only like him because they were fans of him while he was here, and for the people that think he's a bum, it'll be like Lang, only less lazy and he'll have more support. The ONLY thing Fedorov might do, is bring back some fans of his to come and watch games.

For that to happen, the Hawks would have to make the playoffs though.

Stortini and Cowan just went, not much of a fight, more of a wrestling fight with a couple punches.

Yzerman had the better career, and is a much better captain. You want to use your ignorant s***, then so will I, Who's won more cups as captain of the team? YZERMAN. The comment about Chelios is probably the most stupid thing I've ever heard, Yzerman was playing on 1 KNEE for years, he couldnt go anymore, Chelios is a freak of nature. I do not know, how ANY person that calls themselve a Red Wing fan can hate Stevie Y.

I was reading about that today, I guess your right, Drakes gotta pick it up.

It takes a real hater to believe Nick is a better captain then Yzerman, as much as I love Lidstrom, there is no comparision between the two.

Something we can all enjoy http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/36771 Burish vs. The Drake Winner: Drake

I dont agree. Should Kronwall, Draper, Cleary and Lebda all be benched because of a bad +/-? No, Drake is playing well, it isnt his fault we cant score 5on5, once we start, these bad +/-'s will be gone. http://redwings.nhl.com/team/app?gameType=...page&srt=pm - Stat sheet

Yeah, I dont want Grigs after this training camp/pre-season/AHL early season. I'd rather have a guy like Gelech or Mcgrath get a call up instead, and Quincey whenever he gets healthy.

Too bad they traded Johnson, I'd sure as hell do Kindl+Hudler/Samuleson pick for Cole/Johnson, if they really wanted a d-mna and at this point Johnson was still agaisnt playing for them. Alas, I would like Cole, but we wont get him for Kronwall or Lebda.

He was a lazy, 60 point guy here. For some reason in Chicago he's this energetic guy, who could get 70 points. Do I want him back? Hell no, but do I wish he had tried like this when he was here, sure do.

Add in that Sanderson was scratched quite a bit last season and Pitkanen played like s*** for them last year, I really like Phillys deal, because Smith with Timonen will be good, and Lupul with Richards and Carter will be a pretty good line.

Babs wont be playing Grigs this season, imo. He was terrible at camp, in pre-season, and from what I've been reading, horrible in GR.

I dont know why people are either hitting the panic button, or jumping on those who are. Losing to Chicago hurts, we blew another lead, saying it's early in the season does not excuse either. I do think that Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Holmstrom are playing great. Hudler and Filpula are trying very hard, but have yet to get a goal, they need to start putting the puck in the net. Sammy, is well Sammy, he isnt very good, not at all, but he can put the puck in the net on occasion, plays physical when he fells like it, but I wish he wasent here to be a scorer (I wish he wasent here at all, but thats a different story ) I'm very disapointed Danny isnt getting a regular shift on the 2nd line, he deserves it more then Samuleson, but im loving the Cleary - Draper - Drake line. The 4th line has been ineffective, and feel bad for Malts, this was supposed to be his bounce back year, and he doesnt have any line-mates. I wanna see Downey get in there, he'll serve those 5-10 minutes a night much better, and Im positive that Malts plays better with an enforcer on his line. The defence, has been good, but not great. Chelios and Lidstrom were making some pretty bad plays last night (Believe me, I cant believe IM writing that), Rafalski has been pretty good, but can be better, and will only get better the more games he plays as a Wing. Kronwall and Lebda have been good, but Lilja's playing like himself, as I knew he would, I wouldnt be surprised to see him waived/traded in the near future as Babs has stated he wont hesistate to put Meecher in. Hasek is a slow starter, but is playing alright for now. Wait till 15 games in, he'll be fine and no one will be bitching about Dominek. We're fine, just gotta play s***ty teams harder then we are, and need to learn how to close out games. Once we figure that out, we'll be at top of the league in no time (Even though we already are people just cant see that because of panic).

Thats embarrasing, losing to the Hawks, I mean, this isnt like losing to the Sharks, Ducks or Penguins, this is the s***ty ******* hawks. We have got to shoot more, and less turnovers. Also, no more Lilja.

Very late PP. Gotta win the draw and blast it

The Wings are playing like s***, so many turnovers and were not even the ones with Williams, Lang and Sopel on our team, and as I write that, Nick turns it over, ughh.

That wouldnt surprise me.
