Hah busted

My mistake. I copied and pasted a partial roster from another website without looking. I probably shouldn't have used the word "prime" either, at it gets taken quite literally, apparently, but I was trying to convey that players like Draper and Maltby were still effective, while players like Fedorov and Hull were still putting up solid numbers, and I didn't want to use more than one word to illustrate that point. Oh well.

It was definitely a tough series, but 2002 Red Wings is synonymous with "team that is so good they should have been banned from playing" in my head. Fedorov Hull Shanahan Yzerman Lidstrom Larionov Holmstrom Draper Maltby Datsyuk Zetterberg Robatille McCarty Chelios Schneider Fisher Hasek Oh my god. And a lot of those players still in their prime. I would honestly pick this team to verse any team in history and be willing to bet money on their victory.

I tried to be as unbiased as possible with my decision, however I don't see the 2009 Pens beating any of the teams I rated higher than them with possible exception to the Devils' teams, and that's a big IF. Both of those teams had unbelievable defense, probably better than ours last year.

1) 2002 Wings 2) 2001 Avs 3) 2008 Wings 4) 2007 Ducks 5) 2000 Devils 6) 2003 Devils 7) 2009 Penguins 8) 2006 Hurricanes 9) 2004 Lightning

Publicity stunt. A guy like McCarty (or any other aging vet that's been relocated) might bring some fans to the seats and improve KHL ratings, thus improving KHL reputation, and hopefully in time for them, bring in real superstars who would rather play for a respected league at home than overseas.

There's no such thing as a comfortable lead when 13 of your last 16 games are against division rivals.

Whatever ends up happening I hope he takes care of himself

Me either, although it would probably be a little weird if he looked like Robert Lang with a monocle and a curled mustache.

I get made fun of because I have difficulty hiding it. The person below me doesn't like that artificial cherry taste.

BBQ! Although I have never personally indirectly cooked or smoked something (its on my to do list), I can't resist the smokey flavor or the experience and technique of cooking something via BBQ or grilling. My mouth is literally salivating at the thought, although I'm sure the charcoal grill for employee appreciation day outside my window might have something to do with it. Grilled steak and potatoes or grilled chicken and corn

People seem to forget that we were a close second for the Presidents' Trophy last year as well one goal away from a repeat Stanley Cup championship. They also seem to forget that last year's regular season was abnormally bad defensively from a Wings standpoint, and the postseason was riddled with untimely injuries. Heaven forbid the Wings don't get a plethora of injuries this year or learn their lesson defensively, or else watching hockey won't even be fun from all the one sided games and predictable sweeps to the Cup Wings fans will have to endure

sure am The person below me doesn't like it when people quote them, and the response has nothing to do with what was quoted.

I'm aware that the safer bet would be with Detroit or San Jose than with Phoenix, and the science behind making such a prediction. Yet I wanted to show that all the factors that give a team success or give a team failure are rather difficult to rely on for predictions (hence why those elaborate buildings in Las Vegas have often caused a lot of people to lose a lot of money). For example, with the extent of our knowledge, Ovechkin has an equal chance of shattering his leg from blocking a shot or rupturing his spleen or something (either hockey related or otherwise) and missing the rest of the season next December as a player like Sammuelson, yet only one of those injuries could decide whether their respective team makes it to the playoffs or not. What if Ovechkin had the flu the day he would've broke his leg, and Bourque was in his place blocking the shot and broke his leg instead? It gets very muddy very quickly, and for the sake of the argument its redundant to continue on with seemingly pointless examples, but the point I'm trying to make is the factors that people rely on to decide whether a team is a good bet or not aren't concrete. That 70% chance of team X making the playoffs isn't 100% accurate (which is an interesting thought in itself). Anyway, the way that mmamalalo worded his response seemed like he was focusing solely on probability (and the misunderstandings that you have addressed), and I was responding more to the possible misunderstanding than anything else.

Honestly I think I prefer Sweden to win the gold over any other nation. I guess I'm more loyal to the Wings than my own country.

Never experienced the latter, so lets go with that Coming or going

Sure do The person below me knows why the alphabet is put on a keyboard the way it is

Fine with me.

Does anybody have the video of his first goal where he celebrates in a falsetto laugh?

There are honestly a number of ways of breaking it down. The statistics that you are bringing up are based heavily off intangibles and are as unreliable as we expect them to be (see: Dallas, Colorado, Penguins 2009). While it's still a legit way of looking at it, its a different field of statistics all together than simple probability, which states that every team currently has an equal chance right now of making the playoffs, as well as winning the Cup.

Why have I not seen Cory Cross's name yet?? Are you guys even Wings' fans?
