Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom Franzen - Filpula - Rolston/Ryder/Naslund/Malone/Huselius Cleary - Draper - Samuelson/Peca/Nolan/Conroy Maltby - Helm - Hudler McCarty - Kopecky Lidstrom - Rafalski Kronwall - Stuart/Smith/Commodore/Liles Lebda - Chelios Meech/Quincey/Ericsson Osgood - Howard Hmmm there's a lot of options here. But to be honest I just want Holland to sign a second line forward. I still hate seeing Samuelson on our second line for some reason. And I still cringe everytime they put him on the point on powerplays. I mean it obviously works and I guess you could say don't fix what's not broken. But theres still always room for improvement. I would love to see Rolston here but from what I hear the Wild are trying their hardest to keep him there. I've always liked Ryder and think he would really flourish here. And I'm really iffy on Naslund. If we get Naslund get Bertuzzi back because they both seem to get more and more useless without each other. I know Malones not going to happen but I would love to see it. And I really don't know about Huselius. He has the potential but ehhhh. And I think I'm one of the only people that doesn't really want to bring in a Drake replacement. I loved having Drake this year, but I don't really see a need for a gritty vet when we already have a flooded line-up. As for defense.....PLEASE get Stuart resigned. And PLEASE do not resign Lilja. I learned to love him but there is no need for him now. Smith would be an alright replacement but I think Stuart works out perfectly with Kronwall and I would hate to mess with that chemistry. As for Commodore....I would just want him for the playoffs because of his hair and beard B-) And Liles is just one of the better defenseman on the market this year. And I would actually like to see Lebda traded so we can get the young guys going. Preferably Ericsson and Quincey. I like Meech but I just don't see him fitting in long-term. And if we do lose Stuart and don't make up for him with a UFA at least Ericsson and Quincey will add the size, and I think Ericsson could be as offensively productive as Stuart even in his rookie year. And as for Cheli......uhhh I love him and I'm not really upset he's playing again this year. But I hope it's a very small role.

Hmm this doesn't make much sense to me.......Maybe this means Howard could potentially be trade bait to set up for Miller in 09.....but I mean...that's me dreaming haha. Anyone have any idea why we selected him?
-
Haha am I the only one that thinks this coverage is completely unorganized and amateurish?? LoL But I'm loving it! I'm really starting to regret not going....But I'll go to next years ;-)
-
Alright I need to know.....is me getting like 4 hours of sleep (Leaving at 6:30 am) and standing in 90 degree heat with a million other people honestly truly worth it? I've been planning on going to this parade since I missed the one in 02. But now that I'm reading about how crazy it really is I can't decide if I should enjoy in on tv from the comfort of my home with air conditioning or go out there exhausted trying to kill off 5 hours til the parade even starts and sweating to death. So from people with past-parade experience I just want to know if the juice is worth the squeeze?!
-
Me and a big group of my friends plan on going. We hear it's $5....Is this a for sure thing? And can you buy tickets at the Joe or do you have to go to ticketmaster and pay all of the extra fees??
-
Alright I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it...but I figure that it does involve the Red Wings and Hockey kind of. Haha but yeah I'm trying to find a place to download the Red Wings font. And I'm having no luck. So if anyone could help out in any type of way that would be amazing! And if you're curious as of why I'm wanting it, it's because if we win the cup my band is going to make limited edition shirts with our name in the Wings font and the logo on it. And it's going to say "Puck Yeah!" Haha
-
My heart says Ozzie....I don't know... just because when Verson won it in 97 I always felt like Osgood deserved to get one.....Not saying Stevey Y did not deserve his in any type of way. But I think if a "backup" goaltender can come in to to bring us all the way to the cup, especially with the amazing stats he has, he deserves it. But then again you can't really judge until you watch the finals.

I saw a topic on the stars forums basically bashing Zetterberg for skating around during the end of the National Anthem. To be completely honest I think it's immature of people to try and bash him for this. It for one does not make someone anti-patriotic, especially since he's not even from this country to begin with. Granted he does live here and make American dollars. But I've lived here and grew up here and find absolutely nothing wrong with this. I find it no more or less disrespectful then everyone yelling out "STARS" in your stadium during the National Anthem. And if you disagree with this then that's you being biased and trying to find an excuse to bash an opposing teams player, while being entirely hypocritical and ignorant. But Good Series! I enjoyed watching the games! =-)

WQF Game 5 GDT: Red Wings 2, Predators 1 (OT)
ZigZagYourTorso replied to aflac9262's topic in General
Haha no, I wish I could say it is....but they sound pretty convinced that he's playing.....but that just doesn't make any sense. -
WQF Game 5 GDT: Red Wings 2, Predators 1 (OT)
ZigZagYourTorso replied to aflac9262's topic in General
My friends are at the game and I just got a text saying that Downey is playing tonight!!!! I really hope they're not as dumb as I think they might be though.....I have a feeling they think this just because he's skating during warmups. -
Hey everyone! I'm in a band and we are currently on tour and I'm in Charlotte, North Carolina. So that means I have no way of watching the game today. And I haven't missed a playoff game in years. So does anyone know of a way to watch the game online for free? If you can help that would be amazing!!!! Thanks a lot everyone!

Zetterburg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Cleary-Franzen or Filpula-Rolston Maltby-Draper-McCarty or Downey or Kopecky Hudler-Filpula or Franzen-Samuelson (and if my dreams came true we could have Brunnstrom there instead of Samuelson) Depth-Whoever doesn't work out on that 3rd line! Lidstrom-Rafalski Kronwall-Stuart Ericsson-Meech or Chelios or Lebda (I think Chelios get's that spot no matter what if he doesn't retire, and I would personally rather have Meech there then Lebda) Osgood-Howard PP Filpula-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Lidstrom-Rolston PP2 Cleary-Zetterburg-Franzen Rafalski-Stuart To be honest it's pretty hard to piece those lines together simply because, recently Franzen has been amazing and looks like he could be our other Homer for the 2nd line. But I don't like having Filpula on the 4th line.....So I can't honestly give a good decision, it would have to be made up with chemistry. But I think those powerplay lines look pretty unstoppable. And I would love to have Hossa on our team but realistically I just don't see that happening, Rolston on the other hand seems like a perfect fit and I think it's going to happen this offseason ;-) And as far as the following year after that one the changes off the top of my head I would like to see would be... Miller/Howard (even though I love Ozzie and still have more confidence in him over Hasek for some reason) and I would love to see Kindl up by then as well! But I don't want to even try to think that far ahead right now.
-
I know right now his stats aren't amazing. But he is definitely getting progresively better. I think I'm starting to see the potential that everyone was talking about. Im starting to actually become a believer that he could be a top 4 defenseman that puts points up. Im going to predict that if he doesn't get injured this year he'll finish up with 40-50 pts. I know it might be slightly farfetch'd but I don't know...I just have a good feeling.......plus he does lay the best hits on our team....so you can't complain about that. ps.....why does everyone spell it KronVall on almost every single NHL related website? pss....I know that a Kronwall thread gets posted almost every week....but I felt the urge to do so.
-
Had to bring this one back up......because as of right now.....he is on pace for 40 pts............and none of you believed me...........I know it's not the end of the season yet........but he has been looking pretty damn good as of late.
-
Just look on the bright side. We might have lost some people but our only competition in our division basically got raped of there talent (Nashville) so you know were going to make it into the playoffs no problem. Which means if we dont pick up any more big signings we'll still have at least 5.5mil to spend on the deadline. Heatley and Hossa are both free agents next year along with a bunch of other great players. And when I say great I mean amazing compared to whats left in the UFA market. Just imagine how happy we'd all be if we just wait it out and pick up either Heatley or Hossa!!!! But im still rooting for Kenny to pick up Vishnevski!!!! That is if we don't get Markov back.
-
Wings still looking for a depth Defensemen
ZigZagYourTorso replied to Johnny Diamonds's topic in General
Zubrus and Vishnevski!!!!!!! Top 6 forward who can score and has size and a very underrated physical Defenseman. I really hope Kenny gets at least one of these 2. If anyone had Comcast On Demand 2 years ago when they had the weekly top 10 hits, Vishnevski was on there almost every week. -
Haha alright my mind might have just been playing tricks on me but I went to the movies last night (28 Weeks Later at the Emagine Theatre in Canton to be exact) and I could have sworn that Zetterberg with a woman sat 2 rows in front of me.....But he had tattoos on his upperarms and Im not sure if Hank has any tattoos....So does anyone know if he does? And if anyone can just prove that I was seeing things Haha. And if it was him it would have been my 2nd random encounter with him....I served him, Homer, and Lidstom at McDonalds back when I was like 15 =)
-
Haha I knew if anyone on here would pull through for me it would be you! Im just a little curious as of how you know he has no tattoos though!?
-
I'd love if our defense looked like this next year! Lidstrom - Vishnevski Kronwall - Kindl Chelios - Lebda Lilja Or Quincey Im pretty sure Vishnevski is cheaper then Markov and hes more physical....I could be wrong though.... But if we get rid of Schneider we let our youth get a chance and they still get the experience with Lidstrom and Chelios. And if we get rid Schneider we have more money to spend on a 2nd line center ( that is if we dont resign Lang)
-
I dont know about everyone else but I think Bertuzzi looks like one of the top 5 people out there today. The only thing that I noticed is when he turned back when he could have drove to the net that first time. But the second time he drove to the net and had a good scoring chance. I say resign him. He'll be a beast next year.
-
Ovechkin - Datsyuk - Kovalchuk Havlat - Zetterburg - Hossa Heatley - Crosby - Bertuzzi St Louis - Thornton - Malkin Lidstrom - Phaneuf Chara - Pronger Niedermayer - Souray Luongo Kiprusoff
-
Well my high hopes and dreams would be... Lidstrom - Souray/Timmonen FISCHER - Kronwall Lebda - Kindl Chelios I also wouldn't mind resigning Markov or Schneider.....But I definitly would sacrifice Scheider to sign either of those 2, who happen to be free agents.....But wouldn't it just being great to see Fish back out there?
-
Lets see.....Ive met Kozlov and Ted Lindsay at the Gilbralter Trade Center.....I don't think Kozlov knew too much english at the time.....not to mention I had to be like 10 when I met him....but Ted Lindsay was one of the coolest professional athletes I've ever met. The only other time I've met any Wings was when I was 16 working at McDonalds and Lidstrom, Homer, and Hank all came in and I took there order. They each got 2 big macs each with extra mac sauce and super sized it. Haha I just remember I was star struck and didn't beleive it was them until I saw Hanks money clip which had Henrik engraved on it. The had to be thee only good thing that ever came out of working there.
-
You can't hate the guy for what he did. McCarty did the same thing to Lemeieux. Just the ending results weren't the same. I mean it wasn't a sucker punch to the back of the head. But it was an unexpected punch to the face. But hey....I still love watching that coward turtle up over and over again =)
-
http://spectorshockey.tripod.com/default.html According to this he will be traded if he's not resigned by Tuesday. And we all know that we need some grit and a scoring winger...well I think he'd be both in one. What do you guys think? Im not to sure what we would have to give up to get him? Im assuming it wouldn't be too much more then it would be for Guerin. Plus Zubrus is pretty young so maybe we could even resign him.
