Sure, if he isn't going to jail any time soon!

I'm waiting for the announcement of Yzerman having signed as a free agent.

Mac & the Turtle seem to have kissed and made up!

Agreed. It's just embarrassing, these guys just walk into the lineup whenever they feel like it and take roster spots off guys who have worked all year to get there and earned their place. Granted they're great players but anyway.

I'm gonna contribute the classic "bag of pucks" response here.

Good to hear. Finally some deadline action!

We should trade for him!

Geez, now Cheli might be out too?? Vancouver versus Detroit offense & Grand Rapids defense! :beerbuddy:

You think without Lids we'd still won the Cups? Well that just about says it all about your credibility here.

WTF are you smoking? I can't stop laughing!

Whatever guys, you be Fedorov slappies all you want... I'm just saying a lot has to happen for #91 go up in the rafters in Detroit. And the trophies, well about Lids let's just for example say 5 Norris Trophies (possibly 6-8 by the time he retires) and a Conn Smythe. I wouldn't hold my breath over Fedorov's jersey retirement. Agree to disagree I guess...

Even Stevie can't bring his team championships on his own. Sure Feds came along but so did many other important guys: Vladdie, Lids, Shanny, Lapointe, D-Mac, Larionov... a lot of the guys could probably have their numbers retired in other places but in Detroit the bar has been set pretty high. Lids will have his number in the rafters in due time but he will have played at least another two years for the Wings by then. Fedorov's Wings career and credentials won't even match Nick's unless he does come back and regain his old form for a few years.

Yzerman had played for the Wings SEVEN years by the time Feds even got here. And Stevie played here for another two after Feds left. No doubt Feds was instrumental in our championships but we're talking about retiring a number here. That's quite another thing.

No offense to Feds, I love him and he was a fantastic player for us for a long period of time but IMO you just can't talk about him and Steve freaking Yzerman (or even Lidstrom for that matter) in the same sentence when you consider their Red Wings legacy. But if Feds does come back and plays at a respectable level for another fivish years, who knows...

A classic matchup, if only there were more of these games per season... Hopefully Wings rebound big time after that awful 4rd period against the Kings.

That's not gonna happen in a million years, unless if he plays into his mid-40s and leads us to a few cups in the process. Then MAYBE he'd get consideration. I wouldn't mind seeing him back though, provided that he comes at a reasonable price.

Impressive indeed! We're also tied for 1st in goals scored and clear-cut leaders in goals against.

I hope Canada and Finland meet in the final again so that I have another win-win situation. Either my country wins or Stevie wins!

I think Quincey will be the first call-up if it comes to that. But I doubt them calling anyone up since we have Meech as the #7 defenseman.

Not a big deal I guess. At least the time he'll miss is a few weeks instead of a few months.

Good for Stevie, especially since Canada will be hosting the Worlds this year. Congrats Captain!
