that's the one im afraid might not be streamed online or anything. But as for tomorrow's game, i'm hoping for a stream to pull through.

Gee, the player sent to Atlanta/wpg couldn't possibly have the initials J H could he? He shall go nameless

Always appreciated the Finnish Flash.

He really does

i wonder if there will be an increased charge for us college kids...probably. do not want. $15 is perfect and i was hoping to see more Wings games than ever due to getting a better paying job and having the weekends off. Well see i suppose...

Love how the OP makes it seem like Huddles isn't doing crap in the offseason while the link says he's been working out in Montreal. Undeserving Hudler hate.

Why is the waive trade idea even an option? He just signed a 3 year deal. But with that being said no he will not earn his raise. Making more money wont make him tougher or smarter in his own zone.

I mean he was on crutches at the time....that combined with a little more taco bell than usual minus the NHL workout regimen I can easily see a little belly developing in that scenario.

going back and forth about Rusty being dead then alive is really screwing with my mind. Regardless this is just awful, but i hope he's alive...somewhere.

this is beyond tragic...my gosh....

"eklund is an idiot" Yep!

Good defenseman overpayment but still a good signing

Pretty cool Jersey for Derek Meech to sport

^well then that's a perfect slogan for the Blues.

Columbus makes the playoffs this year. Detroit is either 1st or 2nd I haven't figured out the rest of our conference yet

I've seen previews predicting the Wings to finish 5th just behind LA wtf?

I'd prefer to see Brunnstrom win a spot and play well but heck of Connor can make things happen ill be all for the fellow Westland native. May the best man win

All Ericsson discussion aside, Commy could be a great bargain. As someone said earlier in the thread in reference to when he tried to throw a huge hit and flipped over into the Wings bench, how he probably was trying to do to much on a really bad Columbus team, i think thats a great point. Having Commodore in a 3rd pairing position where he can be the tough presence that ive been hoping the Wings would get for a few years now.

Hope he recovers to 100% and soon. I want the pens wings rivalry to continue and get more bitter and more battles for the Cup.

on the CBC side of things, i'm sure happy to have the Jets be on the schedule quite a bit.....but i just realized, will we (Detroit market) be forced to watch the Leafs just as much as any other year?

not to rain on the Ericsson parade, but people have been hopeful of him turning into a big mean defenseman since Grand Rapids -- i just dont see it happening. A more realistic expectation of him, i think, would be for to him to just play in our own zone more soundly, make the simple plays, and go from there. Sure, it is certainly possible that the Red Wings can tap some of his unused skills, perhaps on the 2nd PP since one of the years in the AHL he won the hardest shot competition during their all star game, and i think we all would love to see him actually play his size, but to me, thats just wishful thinking. You cant just teach someone to play rough, you either have it or you dont.

That was freaking awesome. Could you imagine doc emrick? Drive by McCarty! ! .....just doesn't work the same huh?

Gary Thorne "Gretzky had it....lost it"

No games on NBC until around or after the all star game is nothing new. No point in getting crappier ratings against football when dealing with the nation as a whole.

I'm glad with the free agents we got this off season. Typical Wings moves, acquire mid level players to play their roles and contend for the Cup. The Rags can overpay for players who don't live up to their contracts.
