timothy1997 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Article Nice to see him think so highly for Filppula. I have to agree with his prediction on him. If he can just get some more experience and ice time to grow into becoming an NHL player, he will be a good player. Would be nice to have the wings built around the forward trio of Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Filppula. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 How wise is Selanne? Sometimes I wish good old Teemu would win the Cup one day,but not when he's playing with Pronger and not before the Wings win it few more times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Teemu should know, it's nice of him to mention how great Flip is. I am a big fan of Selanne's, just happy to see him shut down everytime he plays vs. the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only way I will let Teemu win the cup is if they bring back Winnipeg and then he can lead them again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

datsyukfan2000 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Kudo's to Selanne for the kind words, I think we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg of Flip's talent. His comments remind me of what Lidstrom and Sundin said about Hank when he was a rookie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockey13Playa 240 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Good article, and glad to see he thinks highly of Flip. I hope he stays with Detroit for a long time, I as well think he will bring good things for Detroit in the future!

Mila 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 It's nice to read something like that about Flipper - ironically a player who is not far from being benched during the play-offs in favor for some other less useful players on the Red Wings roster - by this I don't want to re-open the already discussed thread "who's the 13th forward ..."
