Sparty13 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Crazy... Ok. So me and my friend got tickets 1st row for the Kid Rock concert tonight at the Joe. We're standing there before the show and security guards come with Sergei from back stage and he has seats right next to us. Anyways, after many beers I built up enough courage to ask him to take a picture with me. He ended up hanging out with us for the whole show and we had a great time. He is a very nice dude with an amazing personality. I made sure to tell him that we love him here in Detroit and I wish he would come back for the last few years of his career. He said he loved his time here and never said he wouldn't come back I will upload pictures tomorrow. Its late and i still have to transfer them from my iphone... anyways... it was crazy and I thought I would share with you guys!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Fedorov and Foote.... please. He was my favorite player, but he gets booed every time he touches the puck here. I just can't see him coming back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just can't see him coming back. I'm not so sure that if he did come back to the Wings at the deadline that the fans would welcome him with open arms. The booing could be from jealousy in many cases and seeing him in that number 91 jersey could reverse that kind of feedback IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yzermaniac192005 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 If he came back - he'd get a standing O. there wouldnt be any booing. 4 years ago, yeah. but now, people seem to boo for the hell of it, they've forgotten why they started in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) I don't know. There was booing his first game back after the Carolina hold-out. And some booing after that during the traditional home opener intros. I think there would be booing, not from REAL Wings fans, but from the casual fan. And, officially, I would welcome him back with open arms and a happy tear. Fedorov >>> Sammy on the point and in general for that matter.

Fedorovfan 25 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Hello all, newbie here. I live in Columbus, Ohio and Fed's is my favorite Wing. Yes, I know he plays for the Blue Jackets. I also know he lives in the condo's right next to the Church we attend. He's a fan favorite here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 1,085 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 That's awesome - and good job on telling him how we want him back in Detroit I'm pretty sure if he came back the fans would forgive him. In fact, I think there would be an almost Karmic quality to it. $6m >>>>>>>>>> $1.3m. That's why we don't have Fedorov, and the difference in abilities is reflected in their respective salaries And he is in the last year of his contract, and we have a ton of room under the cap this year. I'm pretty sure his next contract for whoever won't be much more than $1M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Incredible. A couple people I know are headed there for tonight's show. Maybe another former Red Wing of equal importance or sentimental value will be there, but I doubt it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 $6m >>>>>>>>>> $1.3m. That's why we don't have Fedorov, and the difference in abilities is reflected in their respective salaries. ...you know as soon as he puts that Red & White back on, everyone will cheer him... ...we are not going to have to pay his entire $6m salary. Very little of it as a matter of fact, and everyone knows he will not re-sign for that much. I can see him coming here and signing for $2.5m - $3.5m and finishing his career here... ...I haver been beating the Fedorov/Foote drum for a long time here, nice to see that other folks are with me on that trade! It wouldn't cost too much and it surely gives us hude amounts of depth in the playoffs! ...Come home Sergei and bring the Yeti with you! The #91 will skate again...and then hang from the rafters where it belongs!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fedorovfan 25 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Ill tell ya what. He's played a ton of defense for the Jackets. He'a actually turned into a solid d-player. He gets alot of turn overs and isn't afraid to check. He could help the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sergeiwasmyfav 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Your story is awesome. I'm very jealous of you right now. I would love to see Sergei back here. I get goosebumps just thinking about it! He belongs in the Winged Wheel, I don't care what anyone says! Please, Kenny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fedorovfan 25 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 When the Jackets first asked him to play defense he wasn't sure and really didn't think it would work. But, I'll tell ya what it has. Not only that but he's played defense and wing in games and rotates also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
