Wingsfan72

I saw this mask on the Griffin's site the other day, I looked all over for a better pic. Thanks!

I actually like them. I guess I have a thing for "vintage" looking sweaters. I really wish the wings would bring back those stripped jerseys from the early 90's (I forget the year) as an alternate.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be "that guy", but....are you trolling? Are these actual scenarios that you think should happen? Again, I'm not trying to come off as a jerk, I am genuinely curious because the things you propose are quite....out there. I mean, you lost me at "...the best possible lineup I could come up with" with Sammy was on the 1st line while Brunner is on the third. What is the logic behind this? Brunner has been playing very well on the top 2 line this season, why would "the best you can come up with" have him suddenly get demoted to the third line? As far as the trades go, I agree that Kenny needs to make a move or two- key words move or two. What you are suggesting is shaking up the entire lineup. I hate to break this to you, but these things don't happen in real life. The only situations in which a rebuild of the magnitude that you are proposing are if a team is bottom 5 of the league annually with no glimpse of hope for improvement, and GM mode in NHL13. The Wings needs, IMO, a top pairing Dman and some scoring wingers for the bottom six. It would be nice if Kenny could get a top 6 scorer as well, but I think the other two needs should be addressed first. After that, you're looking at a playoff contending team, I think. I wish Kenny would have signed Steve Sullivan instead of Sammy - the worst signing he made IMO. Honestly, as far as trade-bait goes, I think everyone is expendable except for Dats, Z, and Brunner. Z and Dats for obvious reasons and Brunner because he is a young scoring (possibly cheap) winger. I used to have Kronner on that list, but honestly I don't think he can meet the expectations that have been put on him as our go-to Dman. That being said, I think he should only be moved if a top tier Dman is coming back in return. This is my thinking process, and I have come to the conclusion that it is a good thing that neither of us are the Wings GM lol.

What is this add on you speak of? I am not as internet savvy as I should be

Holy crap, there should be a drinking game where you take a shot every time a commentator says "Lidstrom" during a Wings game. We have established he did a LOT and that we no longer have him, thank you, Pierre McGuire.

http://www.stack.com/2012/10/23/henrik-zetterberg-hockey-workout/ I thought this was really cool. He talks about getting drafted. My favorite part is when he was told Detroit got got him he was like, "cool".

Damn it! I saw this and the FIRST thing that came to my mind was a 21 second SCF too many men no-call! Pretty "strange"

Cleary thinks this lockout could last longer than the last one. And apparently he's not the only player who believes that. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=405999

Ovi, Datsyuk, Nash Lidstrom Haha. In my fist NHL game, Oct 22 2005 Jason Williams scored a hat trick so I guess technically I should list him.

I looked around to see if this had been posted on here already and I couldn't find anything. If it is a repost, I apologize and please delete. I just accidentally came across this and I had to share it. It's kind of sad when you think about it....but DAMN that's a nice house. And someone bought it CASH! http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/inside-nicklas-lidstrom-2-9-million-michigan-home-200236541--nhl.html

Hey, when you gotta go you gotta go.

Too bad Weber didn't buy it. :/ HE could have paid in wheelbarrows of cash , haha!

Good good...Everything is going according to "the plan".

Hands down Marc-Adre Fleury!! I can't stand hearing about how great he is.

Per TSN: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=403199 Wouldn't mind picking him up for a cool mil if Holland ends up moving some players.

Found this on DRW.com today, thought it was really cool. Thought I'd share. http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=638771&navid=DL|DET|home

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=403505 Yeah...bit of an over payment, IMO.

You guys are killing me!!

http://flyers.nhl.co...vid=DL|PHI|home TheFourthPeriod says its for 6 years. Kinda sucks, was hoping to make a shot for him next off-season. Here's the TFP article: http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/phi120820.html

Yeah, this.

I think a lot of Wings fans will change their opinion on Tootoo when he starts doing the s***kicker's Waltz in the Joe next seson. On topic, though, I would say the only Wings player I didn't like was Jason Woolley. I never really liked him as a Wing. The only Wings/ex-Wings players I ever hated was Avery, but that didn't start until his LA days...

NHL Hitz Pro for PS2 was my game back in the day. Lids on the cover, Hasek was my teams leading goal scorer seeing how he apparently had mad hands! That game was ridiculous Ahahaha! I love watching LIds play it, he's like "WTF"? [url=" [/url]Also why is Jimmy an 84? I swear he was an 89 in 12....

This is getting scary...

Agreed. I just figured that if Holland is going to be making a trade it it would be for a Dman, therefore forwards are likely to go the other way and Kovalev could be a cheap filler. Like I said I wouldn't mind seeing him in Detroit if we could get him for something around 1M (a number I HIGHLY doubt he would accept). I would rather see Nyquist and other kids play instead but I know Kenny is not prone to taking that route. Haha. Just realized that I forgot we picked up Sammy this Summer. You're right, pass. Kind of funny now that I think about it. Like my mind made for forget about him haha.

Short answer: Yes Long answer: YYYYESSSSSS
