    Lidstrom practices (and other notes from practice)

    I thought you turned in your Red Wings card because Holland didn't trade 2 roster players, 2 prospects, and a 1st round pick for Hossa?

    Captials getting a little stronger?

    Feds setting up AO, it seems the road to 60 just got a lot smoother.

    Another 1st round playoff exit?

    I'm with them, when half the team is AHL'ers its hard to get the W

    Deadline - wish lists, hunches, speculation

    Ohh, it's the deep burn. Oh, it's so deep. Oh, I can barely lift my right arm 'cause I did so many. I don't know if you heard me counting. I did over a thousand. Back to the topic, Hossa for Flip with Hossa signing long term, I'm all for it.

    Class of the League

    Well guys, after following the Wings for 28 years Terry has made it crystal clear. I should be devoting all of my time and attention to the Predators. I should accept the fact that I had no control over moving here 15 years ago, and the real reason my dad took that job at Saturn was because he heard Nashville was going to get a NHL team several years later and he wanted to get a head start on rooting for them. Its been nice talking with all you knowledgeable fans of a team I hold very close to my heart but I have seen the light, thank you Terry for helping me find the error of my ways.

    Chris Osgood to start Friday vs. Columbus

    It makes sense to start Ozzie, after the way the D played in front of him last night they owe him a good game. The theme song to the first 8 minutes of last nights game, Hang Me Up To Dry by the Cold War Kids. Hopefully that will change to Another Brick In The Wall come Friday.

    2/12 GDT: Predators 4, Red Wings 2

    I'll be there sec 115 behind the Wings bench. Lets play the full 60 minutes and chase Mason.

    Canucks in trouble

    Whats to stop Cheilos from demanding a trade back to the Wings for Ellis?

    Cleary

    Cleary is a product of his environment. He was a first round pick that never took off until he came in as a camp tryout. While he has improved his game tremendously the last 2 years it’s a result of what’s around him. He plays with world class players and a hardnosed coach, both push him to play to his full potential. Can he duplicate that success somewhere else?

    Forsberg turns down Swedish club

    Its been reported that Forsberg is looking for a multi-year deal. Would it be possible to sign him for 2 years and pay him more this year and make the back end of the contract incentive laden so we still have cap space for 08-09?

    Jordin Tootoo

    Tootoo is 5'9" 194lbs. He isn't big enough to go head to head with the heavyweights in the NHL. He is a defensive liability and quite frankly brings little to the offensive aspect of the game (he has 13 points thus far with a -4). He may have energy but when was the last time you heard anyone say energy wins championships. We need a big body on D. RedFX says that the folks in Nashville call Draper a dirty player, I've personally haven't heard anyone say that but then again all the people I know in Nashville who follow the Preds jumped off the bandwagon when they started the season below .500. Tootoo to the Wings, 1. won't happen, 2. wouldn't put us over the top if it did, and 3. would be the equivalent of adding “the turtle†to the 99 squad.

    1/23 GDT: Red Wings 2, Anaheim 1

    anyone having a problem with the yahoo feed?

    Has Osgoods luck run out?

    Ozzie hit a snag, lets not throw him under the bus. Tonight he got no help, we lacked hustle.

    sell outs at the JLA

    It's not the lack of butts in the seats that bothers me, it’s the lack of passion coming from them. Granted I haven't attended a game this year but I remember not too long ago a lets go Red Wings chant would last damn near a whole period, now its two chants and then silence. It was nice to hear all the Turco chants the other night, keep it up.

    NHL Center Ice

    I emailed CI last night since I was blacked out. While I love their scripted response that turns into a plug for NHLN the situations listed don’t apply to me, my team is not in my local area. Hence my subscription.. Generally, you are blacked out of games on NHL Center Ice based on a number of factors, including: 1. Your local team is televising on a local over-the-air station and you are located within that station’s signal. 2. Your local team is televising on a local regional sports network and your cable or satellite system falls within the distribution for that local regional sports network (regardless of whether your cable or satellite system actually carries that regional sports network). 3. There is no local television coverage of your local team. 4. The game is being televised nationally on NBC or Versus. The NHL Network in the U.S. will telecast 50 live regular-season games this season, in addition to classic games, documentaries, instructional shows, highlights and more. Based on previously-announced carriage arrangements with Cablevision, Comcast, Cox Communications, Charter, DIRECTV, DISH Network, Time Warner Cable and others, NHL Network is accessible to 80 million homes. Please be advised that this is not being put on by Direct TV alone. All of the Providers listed above are now going to be able to provide this Network. If you need to watch these games you will need to purchase this network. You can also get more information at our website, www.nhl.com Thank You The NHL Center Ice Online Support Team

    12/19 GDT: Red Wings 6, Kings 2

    This Yahoo broadcast has not yet started, we are aware the event you are trying to watch has already started so bend over.

    New Rule being discussed

    As long as Ozzie is in net scoring isn't going to increase . Quit trying to add new s*** to FU the flow of the game like this. Instead fix what is broken, poor marketing and inflating goalie gear.

    Death, taxes and Wings success unavoidable

    I would expect nothing less from the best run organization in the NHL.

    Dom in net vs. Minnesota

    I hope Ozzie gets the start on Monday, I'll be there of course and Ozzie has owned the Preds.
  24. WingsZR2

    Osgood has been a revelation to Red Wings

    My question is if Ozzie continues to play out of his mind just how many games will Dom get? Should they just split the remaining workload or should we go with a 60/40 split in Ozzie's favor?

    Jiri Hudler

    Huds needs to learn how to slip into the open spots on the ice like Hull use to. Babs needs to let this guy play some more minutes or come April ZDH is going to be gassed.
