second'd

this is a GREAT move, in my opinion. Hopefully he can attract some more fans to the world of hockey

did anyone put Andreas "the pain train" Lilja??

Arite question: I've been considering changing my choice in favor of Minnesota beating Anaheim. I know the season series was tied 2-2 and each game was pretty close, but what are your opinions on this matchup?

Well not just the statue, but they also just named the main entrance Gordy Howe entrance... it seems like they're doing this a bit late (or a bit early if we get a new arena) IMO

Guys youre not going to believe it! Kronwall's going to play in round 1 afterall!! It turns out it was just an elaborate April Fools joke!

its a shame we're getting a new arena in a couple years

excellent

I think Bertuzzi, Calder and Draper and Homer are our best attackers against the trap, so hopefully they're each on their own lines.

who cares when crosby is aired he won't produce in the playoffs

Until the wings get past the first round, I think the entire nhl will consider us the underdogs

damn beat me to it

The Pain Train Commeth

its not finished because I'm not finished. I really have no clue how a Detroit Vancouver third round will turn out. Detroit will have alot of fire under them, especially after beating Nashville (if it turns out how I plan it), but I'm predicting Luongo being the main reason the Canucks get as far as they do. Thats bound to get into the heads of the wings... As for the leadership comment- Sure we don't have Yzerman and Shanahan, but Yzerman was injured last year and couldn't do what he usually does in the post season. Lidstrom is captain now and has a lot to prove to everyone that he can get the team past the first round. Datsyuk has a greater responsibility (espeically after the signing) and Zetterberg is growing into a leader. I guess what I meant to say by more leadership is that our younger "next generation" players are finally getting what it takes.

Arite.... somebody HAS to go down there and make sure Andreas "The Pain Train" Lilja gets on that board. Volunteers?

Yeah seriously if we can get a good crowd going in the first game, people are bound to take the initiative throughout the rest of the season. There just has to be those few "leaders" in the crowd who aren't afraid to paint their torso red and white and scream obnoxiously throughout the entire game. Remember when we used to be Hockeytown?

I really think San Hose is being overestimated. Nashville shouldn't have too much trouble taking them out. Preds in 5

Yeah a lot of us are skeptical we'll make it past the first round. Go take a look in the predictions thread and you'll see a lot of Calgary in 6 or Calgary in 7 replies.

haha @ jwo

it will indeed be close

hahaha

Too bad the next 4 are going to be his worst

This is so up in the air Game 1: Calgary Game 2: Wings Game 3: Wings Game 4: Calgary Game 5: Wings Game 6: Wings
