    Wings & Yandle twitter-rumors? Believable?

    http://www.prosportsblogging.com/2012/07/31/regarding-the-filppula-for-yandle-rumor/ Looks like a bunch of bull...

    Who is your favorite player from a team besides the Wings?

    Ovi, Rick Nash, Versteeg, Pavelski...It goes on, but I'd say those are my top 4. I like Steve Ott a lot too.

    Fabian Brunnström moves back to Sweden.

    Still not sure why he didn't get more of a chance in the big league. Far and away better than Conner, in my opinion. Maybe he was just really bad the one game I saw him in (my first and only Grifs game), I have seen a lot of people praise him on this forum. He just wasn't impressive at all, Brunnstrom and Nyquist stole the show. Oh well, too bad. Good luck in Sweden Fabian.

    Doan staying in PHX 4 yrs $21.2 mill

    lol Doan is equal to or equal to Bert? Does anyone know what other teams he plans on meeting with yet? I know he said he is going to meet with more GMs, but has it been said that Detroit is for sure one of them, or is it just assumed? I know I read Kenny wants to meet with him.

    Doan staying in PHX 4 yrs $21.2 mill

    Well that's one way to see if he's gonna go for the money or a chance at a cup....yikes! No way a contender is offering that...unless it's Philly, I guess.

    Holland Content with Current Roster

    http://youtu.be/FM-ouCaE4bg I'm pretty sure if we're in a lot of trouble Holland will make the necessary trade. At this point it's like what others have said, after Suter and Parise there were not very many (if any) other impact players available. I'm disappointed that there wasn't a big move made either, but I think that just comes standard with being a Wings fan in the off season. Why don't we give it a couple of months into the season before we jump ship, eh? On a positive note, doesn't this mean that Kenny can pick up Weber next year? Which is what we all wanted before the whole Suter ordeal. Edit: sp...have not slept

    Predictions on where players will land

    I just feel like Huds is gonna end up in LA... don't ask why, just a feeling.

    Alex Semin officially going to free agency

    Hello Blue Jackets!

    will the wings re-sign modano?

    It really bothers me the way some of you talk about Modano. I thought this forum had enough class to show a little respect to a future hall-of-famer....I mean the guy had an amazing career and was/is an inspiration to US born hockey players of this generation. The guy got mistreated in Dallas (IMO), and he came to his hometown to give hockey another try. He got injured right when he was starting to flow with his linemates and fit into the wings way of doing things, plus he's had a bunch of good chances, just bad luck...so its understandable that he is pretty much back to step one. What did you expect a 20+ goal season? I think having him for the price he's at is a steal. on another note: I really wish Babcock would stop playing Moe with Homer...besides the Pens game last night they really havent clicked IMO.

    Biggest looking hit of the new year

    Well you are failing horribly at it.... Its just a title, dont get your panties in a bunch. Plus he explained more than once its one of the biggest LOOKING hits, not THE biggest. Damn, choose your battles.

    "Why I hate this obnoxious hockey team"

    She grew up in California, what do you expect?
  17. Wingsfan72

    Players you've always wanted on the Wings

    My top choice would be Chara for obvious reasons. I wanted Mike Ribeiro since his Montreal days, it upset me deeply that the Stars got him for pretty much nothing (some picks I think?). It would have been awesome if that Luongo deal would have come through I think he woould have liked it here. besides that: Rick Nash Marion Gaborik Ryan Miller Iginla JR (back in the day) also I think Boogaard would have been sweet Holy crap Bure would have been AMAZING theo too
  18. Listen, I love my wings just like the rest of you and I have complete faith in our boys, but PLEASE stop saying they ARE going to win the cup next year!! I see things like that all the time on this board. I sincerely swear that I don't mean to be negative and I do have complete faith in our boys but it is just bad karma to say things like that. I mean you could say its probable or even very likely they will win and that's not bad. I only say this because its true. If you count your chickens before they hatch and get too cocky (no pun intended) you're just asking for trouble. I said this same thing the year cindy won the cup bc alnost everyone on here was saying the wings were no doubt gonna win bc they were on home ice....needless to say "chickens" were counted a little prematurely. Anyhow, I'm done with that rant. On this topic, I would love to see chara here for a couple years. I believe he has a lot to offer this team.

    Red Wings Making Play for Modano

    Now this makes me sad....I thought Moe said he would play in Detroit or retire.

    DET-PIT Post-Game Discussion

    I hate him. I hate him so much. I have respect for his skill because only a naive fool could deny he is a good hockey player, but that is where it ends. He is an arrogant ass and I look forward to the day someone punches him in his ***** mouth. "well not everybody has Lidstrom and Rafalski behind them, but he plays hard" shut the f*** up! Its times like these I really wish we has Probert back...when are they gonna bring Brad May back up?

    Life after Lids

    This. They literally said the year that Lids was named captain that when he retires Zetterberg will succeed him as team captain.
