    Lupul re-signs with Flyers

    TSN Let's throw this out there too. What do you think? He'll be making $2,9 million next season, after which this extension kicks in.

    I know you, you're that Reynolds dude who played the bad guy in Amityville Horror:

    I STILL Cant Believe Hossa Is a Red Wing

    The rest of the league COMBINED doesn't get as much love as Crosby.

    Lupul re-signs with Flyers

    Seems to be the typical deal for young players these days: relatively long-term and a bit overpriced but might turn out to be a fair or even good deal for Philly if Lupul lives up to his potential. But so far he hasn't been worth that kind of money.

    I STILL Cant Believe Hossa Is a Red Wing

    When it comes to wingers, I can't think of many better than Hossa. And that was exactly the position where we had the most room for improvement. There may be better players in the league but few better fits for Detroit.

    Wings add McCrimmon to Coaching Staff

    What's with all the Mcs and Macs?

    Happy 30th B-Day to Pavel Datsyuk!

    That's not so bad, I think he'll be a Red Wing for another ten years.

    Jiri Hudler

    I think Hudler should be utilized more on the PP, that's where he could really shine if given the oppoortunity. He's got the hands, vision and a wicked shot.

    No. Just no.

    I'm bored and haven't posted here for quite a while so might as well contribute something. The girl in the background improves the quality.

    Obstruction!

    Jackets sign Filatov

    Replacing Zherdev with another one..?

    Derek Meech named Wings' rookie of the year

    Nice recognition for him. He started looking very good with the added responsibility when our D was depleted. I certainly hope he's a regular next season.

    Tuomo Ruutu re-signs w/'Canes

    In case you were unaware, Ruutu was already traded to the Canes at the deadline so technically this is just a re-signing. Hawks got Andrew Ladd in return.

    Ville Leino to the Wings?

    So I just heard this in the news on Finnish TV channel "Nelonen" but I'm not sure where they got the information from. The anchorman just said that Leino is "close to signing a contract with the Red Wings" and they usually don't talk out of their asses, they must be onto something. I'm trying to find some more substantial information and valid sources but the report sounded pretty convincing. Anyway, we're talking about the second-leading scorer in the Finnish Elite League this season and he was a stud in the playoffs too before his team Jokerit Helsinki got knocked out in the second round. He was named the league's best player in the regular season. I think he's an interesting option to look at, a real team-first guy and a hard worker with decent skills and strength. I figured this would be worth discussing amidst all the Brunnstrom talk. Ville Leino @ Wikipedia

    Thank you all for a wonderful time!

    Best wishes to you buddy. Cancer is always a ***** but I'm pulling for you to make it and return stronger than ever.

    2008 SCF Game 6 GDT: Red Wings 3, Penguins 2

    Hate to say it but my team (England) didn't qualify. Hopefully they'll get their s*** together and avoid this kind of embarrassment in the future. Of course I was pulling for Finland too but they weren't even expected to make it, they came surprisingly close though. I don't really have a clear-cut favorite among the EC teams at the moment but I'm thinking Germany will win. I'm watching as much as I can (all of the games are broadcast here), I hope you'll be able to see the games too! Always cool to find fellow soccer fans.

    2008 SCF Game 6 GDT: Red Wings 3, Penguins 2

    Aflac you just keep outdoing yourself, how classy and thoughtful of you to take notice of our brother Behind Enemy Lines in CO, you're the best. Hopefully he'll have great news tomorrow about our boys being Cup champions. LET'S GO RED WINGS! Every now and then but more in a beer-league kind of way these days, I stopped playing official games a couple of years ago but maybe I'll take it up again once I have more time. Why do you ask? You a soccer guy too?

    SCF Game 5 GDT: Penguins 4, Red Wings 3 (3OT)

    As awesome as aflac's GDTs are, there are no words to describe the euphoria if this was the last one this season. LET'S GO RED WINGS!

    Kings and Blues to play in KC

    I'll be attending Emporia State University at the time, which is about 100 miles away. Can't get closer to an NHL game than that. Might have to check this one out even though the matchup is pretty bad.

    SCF Game 3 GDT: Penguins 3, Red Wings 2

    Down with Michelle Therrien and his Bitchpurgh whiners! I wonder if they ever made the trip to Detroit, they were pretty much invisible. Let's Go Red Wings! Don't give them any hope!
