    The Worlds

    Thanks for that. I don't really get how the Russian team can under-perform like they've been doing in this tournament. And now they're gooning it up yo!

    The Worlds

    Just started watching the game - is the 0-2 score a fair representation of the game?
  3. I thought this had been settled already but well: From this Aftonbladet article.

    4th line options

    Go Eric Nystrom - Swedish connection, hell yeah!

    Jimmy Howard has championship skills

    I'll settle for him having been Detroit's Messiah this season.

    Daniel Larsson going to Sweden

    Unfortunate, but not surprising.

    Jonathan Ericsson Watch Thread

    Yeah. He hasn't been bad at all. One of the Swedish commentators just said: "I wonder if he might not be one of the 3 best opening passers in the world." I'm thinking he meant the World Championships but you never know :S.

    Eklund's top40 UFA's and possible teams

    I don't know about the rumoured teams but the list is still pretty useful.

    Backstrom re-signs with the Capitals

    Exactly how I find myself comparing the two deals.

    Backstrom re-signs with the Capitals

    Not bad at all.

    Backstrom re-signs with the Capitals

    7-10 years isn't that bad though for this guy. Doesn't seem to get injured much, doesn't play a reckless style, has pretty good play-off point-totals and he's only going to be 23 this year. At the oldest, he'll be 33 at the end of the contract. And like you say - keeping the Ovie-Backs pairing going for a while is not a bad idea.

    Backstrom re-signs with the Capitals

    Aftonbladet pretty much reports the rumours from the Washington Post which in turn is pretty much what you guys have been talking about: 7-10 years @ $6M+ per year.

    2010 IIHF World Championship

    This is going to be a really strange World Championship. Oh, and uninteresting. If Sweden makes the semis I might watch... maybe.
  14. I'd love to have the guy back, always been one of my favourites in Detroit. Off topic: anyone react to the "special friends" thing. Funny in a "I haven't slept for 36 hours" kind of way.

    Be the Blackhawks GM

    Pretty sure Bettman went WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO until everybody else shut up.

    Gustav Nyquist-- Hockey's Future Prospect of the Month

    Interesting way to go with the college-route. Gonna be fun to follow his development.

    leino scores in first game as a flyer

    ...You no get the poor attempt at making the funny?

    leino scores in first game as a flyer

    With the Flyer's no. But if he gets traded to Pittsburgh or Vancouver and gets to play with Crosby or the Sedins then he'll explode. Just goes to show that any decision made by Detroit management is completely stupid.

    2010 Draft

    Seems like someone Detroit would pick.
  20. SweWings

    Well that feels a little better

    Yay. Red. Still a bit uncomfortable but I can get over that.

    GM's recommendation on hitting

    I'd love to go to Boca Raton. That's as much as I want to contribute to the conversation.

    Chris Chelios Called up,

    Gotta love this guy! Keep it up!!

    3/9 GDT: Flames 4 at Red Wings 2

    Agreed. I'm nervous enough as it is.

    3/9 GDT: Flames 4 at Red Wings 2
