ahahahaahahha, sorry I just wanted everyone to see it seeing as how a lot of members of this board like to just not read every post.

100% fake, those were made by an add-on maker for NHL 07 for the PC version.

Those HAVE NOT BEEN 100% CONFIRMED YET!!! Those mock ups have been around for MONTHS NOW.

That Wings jersey is NOT REAL. I have 100% credible source to know that it's not real. Don't worry, our jersey will look the same.

Nope. The Sharks official site has a countdown timer for when they were going to reveal everything. It's like 11 days away.

I found it on one of my other hockey boards, but it seems pretty legit. It fits with what I've been hearing as well as the new color scheme. I have friends at companies that work on the NHL video hockey games and they've "kinda" described it to me without giving it away 100%.

How can you POSSIBLY say Yashin is worse than Lang!??! Is this some bizzaro world I'm in?!? Holy s*** people, open your eyes and look at what the guy has done and who he was surrounded by. Lang put up big numbers for one reason only, Jagr. Yashin has never had that kind of help on his teams. He's had like one or two off seasons where he's played over 78 games and only put up 65 pts, boo hoo. Every player has that happen to them. And like I was saying, he doesn't need to be the super star like in New York. He won't be captain, he won't have to lead anyone, he can relax and have fun with some young talented players. We need a forward, regardless, and he's potentially the best bang for the buck. He gets 2.2 mil from the Isles, and no where have I heard except on message boards like these (with no source) that he's demanding a high pay day to sign somewhere. He knows he's not getting it. You would have to be ******* stupid to pass him up at 2 to 3 mil for ONE season. Especially when we have 6 mil left in cap space and we're not getting any other "star" player.

I would love it if the Wings signed Yashin to a one year deal at less than 3 mil just to see what he can do. Most of you who bash him to no end are just clueless as to how good of a player he is and can be. You hear ONE negative thing about him from like 6 years ago and you he's all of a sudden a "lazy" "worthless" player. You need to open your freakin eyes and realize that this is a type of player who could do VERY well on Detroit. He's NOT lazy for one, get that out of your head right now. Do ANY of you actually look at his stats and what he's accomplished or do you just make a brash decision based upon what you "heard" from some forum members? I checked his stats and was AMAZED at how many pts he actually put up. I kept thinking he was only getting like 40 to 50 every season which is why everyone was saying he was such a lazy ass. But then you actually look and he's almost a pt a game player. He also stays relatively healthy. I never knew he had 4 consecutive 82 game seasons with Ottawa and almost did it again with the Isles. He's had 2 of his past 4 seasons cut a bit short due to injury, but he's not injury prone. He's a big center with skill and we need some size up front. A one year deal will not f*** up the Wings system or team regardless of what he does. And if you'd notice, look at who he had to play with on the Isles and how much better he made those guys seem. I thought Kvasha was gonna be the next big thing and when he was traded I picked him up on my fantasy teams expecting him to be top line wing and score 40 goals, and yet, it never happened and now he's lucky to make a line up. Same with Hunter, Czerkawski, and Blake (Blake is not scoring anywhere near 40 next season on the Leafs, he'll max out at like 23). Make our top line Filppula, Zatta, and Homer with Yashin, Datsyuk and Igor the 2nd line. Yashin and Pavel can switch off for faceoffs and can mix and match positions since they're both natural centers. Build Igor's confidence a bit by playing with 2 good players. He might put up great numbers this year, but could be expected to produce a bit lower next season if we let Yashin go or he moves to a different line. Yeah, and where does this nut job stuff come from? Why, because he held out a year due to him thinking he deserved to paid more cause he was a star player back in 1999? He WAS a star player for the Sens back then and he should've been paid whatever he ended up getting, he did deserve it. Also, take into account that the season before AND after he held out, he STILL finished 1st on the team in pts. He didn't phone it in after getting the big raise. Since then what has come out that makes him seem lazy and a bad player? I don't recall anything off the top of my head. He seems to keep his mouth shut, he doesn't blame anyone, he sounded very sincere when talking about the Isles organization after they bought him out. Here are his stats from the past 11 seasons... 96-97 Ott 82gp 35g 40a 75 pts 97-98 Ott 82gp 33g 39a 72 pts 98-99 Ott 82gp 44g 50a 94 pts 99-00 Held out 00-01 Ott 82gp 40g 48a 88 pts 01-02 NYI 78gp 32g 43a 75 pts 02-03 NYI 81gp 26g 39a 65 pts 03-04 NYI 47gp 15g 19a 34 pts 04-05 NYI No season 05-06 NYI 82gp 28g 38a 66 pts 06-07 NYI 58gp 18g 32a 50 pts So out of the past 9 seasons in which he played, he's missed only parts of 2 due to an injury and has still put up good numbers. I think his worst season was 02-03 when he played 81 games and only put up 65 pts and yet he still led his team in pts that year by 10, as Blake finished with 55. That team was pretty s***ty that year as well. The guy can still play and put up big numbers. Now put him on a team where he's not the #1 player and isn't expected to be and let's see how much more relaxed he can be. Hell, if he puts up 65 pts in 80 games for Detroit, I'd be thrilled.

FYI, the NHL 2K games don't get their player ratings from STATS INC like EA does, they have one guy who rates every player. I've met him at E3 a few times. He's not an idiot, but when one guy rates every player in the NHL for a video game and he doesn't scout them or have any contact with outside sources, don't tend to believe the ratings in those games.

I say go after Zubrus if you can. He's a big RW (listed at 6'4" 226 lbs) is only 29 years old and his past 2 seasons have been pretty good on a bad Washington team. 23-34-57 in 71 games in 05/06 and 24-36-60 in 79 games this past season. We need a sniper to fill the hole from Shanny that we never recovered from on the powerplay. He'd fit in well with Datsyuk as his wing. He'd give us good size and a potential 30 goal scorer if he gets motivated and gels with our team.

Leafs just signed Zubrus, damn, I wanted him, and Nolan has been e3'd to the Flames.

So Hasek, Markov, and Zubrus/Kozlov now sign

I feel bad for all those saps that bought those new horrible looking Buffaslug jersey's with Drury and or Briere on them... oh wait, no I don't! They should've never bought those ugly ass jersey's in the first place.

A while back someone on here made available the files to create your own DVD of the Yzerman retirement ceremony, well I made the DVD, but now I'm looking to either find or make my own DVD cover for it. Did anyone from here make one already? I'm trying to get this done before Wednesday so I can send it out to my dad for Father's Day. Thanks in advance.

Well EA just released some new screens for the new uni's at the draft, but they may have goofed and showed off the new Hurricanes as well. Oh well http://www.easports.com/article.jsp?id=nhldraft Here's a few of them, there's more when you click the link.

spam = bad

Like I stated in the first post in this thread, this will NOT be the case. Only a few of the teams will be changing to this new template style and not even all of them will follow the same style. The Wings jersey will be just fine, don't worry.

Yeah, here's the old one And here's the caps new one

Ha, I was just coming here to post those. Yeah, these are pretty much official for the Caps. The images were hidden on the Capital's website and in an embedded Flash movie on their site. Don't worry, like I said. The Wings jersey's will still look identical to their current jersey in terms of striping, logo, colors, and design. The ONLY change is that they will be of the new material and slimmer.

No, they are 400 bucks for authentic lettered. Lettered replicas will be 150-200. That's incorrect. The Wings are not getting any new design on their jersey's. I really should just make a new thread telling everyone what will change and what won't, haha. This is confusing a lot of people.

I said I got it to run, but not great. It'll keep locking up randomly and when I can get it to play the sound gets all messed up, like it'll stutter and skip. I'm sooooo close though, I can feel it.

wow, I actually got it to run via tricking it into doing some stuff it shouldn't be doing and I got the Canucks with their red/black uniforms, but they had all black socks. I guess the game was wrong this whole time. Oh well, they looked really cool though. I tried to do a print screen, but when I pasted the image into photoshop, it was all black with some green letters, you couldn't even see the players.
