    Why does Fedorov wear nr 29...

    I'm watching the Russia vs Czech rep game and I noticed that Feds is wearing the number 29 on his jersey. Why is that? I'm assuming a retired jersey because who on the current Russian national squad would take the number 91 in Fedorov's stead?

    Eastern Conference hockey

    I'm not impressed at all by Pittsburghs play. The only team that played above expectations in the East have been the Flyers and even they aren't really that good. Their PP rocks tho...

    Thanks dude!! And that's a bit of an unfortunate name...

    Red Wings Rest...

    I'm not concerned. This won't be the problem for the Red Wings - if they have any at all...

    Game 4 blowout to lure Brunnstrom?

    Bleh. First Forsberg and now this guy. Whatever happened with the quiet, unassuming Swedes? (They all signed with Detroit)

    Brunnstrom Visits The Wings

    I'd calm down with the insults a little bit. Obviously the guy is already quite good but he also has a lot of development left. Your perception of the guy comes from the media blowing his rep way out of proportion. I'm not surprised he's taking his time making sure that the team he signs for will work out for him. Why not? Sure the guy is selfish, he hasn't been drafted, he isn't tied to any team and therefore he doesn't have any automatic 'loyalty' to anyone. If you think he's going to sign for a team without even a small guarantee of playing with top-line players then bleh on you. He has the potential to play with them as an equal, well sort of, and he's just trying to make sure he gets an honest shot. At the same time I don't think Detroit should really be wasting any time on the guy. I just spoke up because I felt some of the comments were unfair. How much of the guy have you actually seen? And even then a lot of things change once you reach the NHL.

    Out of the three 3-0 series leaders right now...

    Out of the three teams, Pittsburgh is the most likely to finish first. Both Colorado and San Jose can win a game though I find that unlikely. I had great hopes for New York personally but in this last game even Lundqvist seemed to get tired of the team sucking...

    Wings won't let Stuart get away

    Exactly. If he wants more, bye! If he's a 'bad' fit and/or they find someone equivalent who will sign for less, bye! In any case he's not the key.

    Wings won't let Stuart get away

    He isn't way better than Norstrom. And after having watched most of the Dallas games in the playoffs I can tell you that while Norstrom is past his prime he is still very useful. I guess I don't really have much of a point besides the fact that the guy playing with Kronwall on that 2nd pairing is more or less expendable and I don't really see why Stuart is THE guy for that position. Norstrom isn't either but he's certainly an alternative.

    Fedorov back on the wings?

    The guy came alive in Washington it would be a shame if he left. He's on a team where he can really teach and contribute and to be fair, Detroit doesn't actually need him the same way.

    Wings won't let Stuart get away

    I'd rather sign Norström. Edit: Maybe I should give a reason for that too. The fact that he's Swedish doesn't really factor into it. Very responsible defensively. Leadership quality. Not a particularly dirty player. Good partner for a guy like Kronwall who needs someone responsible playing with him. Frees up a spot on the 2nd PP unit for perhaps maybe Ericsson? Meh, I guess he's just an alternative but for some reason I've always liked Norström and he's just one of those guys who got screwed by a big team and got stuck in crap-land.

    Stanley cup finals

    Out of the East it'll likely be Pittsburgh or New York. Don't really see how either Montreal or Philly can beat them. And either of those would make for a fun final vs Detroit.

    Bravo!

    I gotcha. The more links that you have to the players, the easier it is to cheer for them.

    Team Canada Unveils New Jerseys

    Yeah... Time for the other countries' fans to get used to seeing this jersey too... Can't really see anyone beating this team... And nobody will, cuz the Wings are not gonna supply the Swedish team with an entire forward and defensive line... And Ovie isn't going to get a set-up man... NEVER... RED WINGS COME FIRST - ALWAYS!!! btw, I didn't mean for this post to become so emotional, don't really know what got into me... Game starts soon, that must be it...

    Meh... Most of the voters seem to forget that there are other goalies besides Brodeur...

    The only award that seems decently open is the Calder trophy...

    Brodeur won't play for Canada @ Worlds.

    Yeah, the guy needs to calm down a bit and play a couple less game during the season so he's fresh for the playoffs. He didn't look alright in the series vs. the Rangers. And it didn't help with Avery's antics and the continuous nudging by most anyone in the Rangers who came close to Brodeur. Probably not the best idea to go the internationals then...
