BigTex 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 I heard the announcers saying that everyone who either played in the finals or at least 40 games automatically gets on there. That leaves the following players that were on the expanded playoffs roster that are a question mark: Kyle Quincey - 6 regular season games Jimmy Howard - 4 regular season starts Jakub Kindl - 0 regular season games Jonathan Ericsson - 8 regular season games Justin Abdelkader - 2 regular season games Cory Emmerton - 0 regular season games Mattias Ritola - 2 regular season games Mark Hartigan - played 4 games in earlier rounds, 23 regular season games Do the Wings usually petition for all the guys on the expanded roster to get on or just a few? If I was going to add anyone that wasn't automatically on it would be Mark Hartigan. He's really had a long career, bounced btw AHL and NHL, hard working guy, and did contribute a fairly significant amount during the regular season. Everyone else on there is young and can win it when they're regulars. I'd let the young guys wait and petition for MH. Your thoughts? Who would you put on there?

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 TBH, I wouldn't put any of those you listed on the Cup. Hartigan is the only one that I believe deserves any type of consideration, especially since he took Filppula's spot in all the practices due to Val's injury. For me, there's gotta be more than just playing a couple games during the season to warrant getting your name on the Cup IMO. Not to sound like an ass, but I hold that trophy in the highest regard. Sidenote: I believe you need to have played 41 games in the regular season or one game in the Finals to get your name on the Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't mind the Wings petitioning to get his name on the Cup as well. Probably just as deserving as Hartigan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 J-Ho won't but when considering his numbers it is not starts, it is games on the roster, which I think still only gets him to 15 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) is downey excluded? and did Kopey play 40 games? Both are included and will get their names on the Cup. Kopecky: 77 Games Downey: 56 Games Edited June 5, 2008 by Never Forget Mac #25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTex 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks for the correction. Good thing for Hasek he played in 41 regular season games on the nose or he'd need a petition too. I'm pretty sure that all teams put their backup goalie on there no matter how many they play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevieY9802 6 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 yeah I don't think any of those guys mentioned will be on there. Hartigan should be on for reasons mentioned and they can petition like someone said to get a name or names but on like Vladdy in 98 among others. Meech should be put on so I hope he gets it on. He missed it by a whole 8 games and was here all year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSM 114 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks for the correction. Good thing for Hasek he played in 41 regular season games on the nose or he'd need a petition too. I'm pretty sure that all teams put their backup goalie on there no matter how many they play. They would anyway, because they "dressed" for just about every game even if it was just to ride the pine. It would be a different story say if the Red Wings still had MacDonald as the no.3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had Mac not played in Games 1 & 4 of the Finals, the team would've had to petition to get his name on the Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicada 4 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 i gotta think they'll petition for Meech, since he was on the roster ALL year... maybe Hartigan but i doubt he'll be sucessful... no one else has a chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,914 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 ...I am glad Downey will get on. He was SO important to this team early on, must have killed him not to play in ONE playoff game. I am sure he is glad that he gets his name on the cup and actually was instrumental in getting the Wings to where they got before the playoffs. I hope they re-sign him, I don't know why he would want to go anywhere else considering that this team has to be a favorite to repeat or at least compete for the next few years. Take a league minimum and hang around and possibly win a couple more Cups... ...or, jet off to Anaheim and don't. LOL! Schneids and Bertuzzi have to be kicking themselves in the ass!! HAHAHA!

Vladiator 116 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 I believe it's 41 regular season games or 1 game in the SCF meaning DMac will get his name on the Cup because he played in that game the Homer was out. Stevie will get his name on the Cup because he is part of the Wings management Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tidysteve 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) No, 41 is correct because that is half the regular season. As I originally posted, its 41...which is half the regular season. no ... 40 ... from the wings 2002 championship ... "Manny Legace's name was misspelled MANNY LEGECE with an "E" instead of an "A". An "A" was stamped over the second "E" twice to correct this mistake. Detroit wanted to include 30 Non Players on the cup including the 7 Ilitch children, 7 scouts, and office staff (Paul MacDonald and Nancy Beard). Maxium Kuznetsov who played 39 games (1 short of required 40 games played to guarantee his name on the Stanley Cup), Sean Avery played 36 games for Detroit (36 in the minors). Both players did not play in the playoffs. Uwe Krupp also played 8 regular season games and 2 playoff games, after missing over 60 games due to a back injury. These 3 players, along with 2 trainers, were left off the cup. It is tradition that Ass't Equipment Manager Tim Abbott(on cup in 1997, 1998), and Masseur Sergei Tchekmarevare are included on the Stanley Cup. Since only a maximum 52 names can be engraved the cup each year, Detroit chose these 5 members to be left off. Each team is required to dress 20 out of a 23 players roster each game. However, Detroit only engraved 22 players on the Stanley Cup in 2003." from nhl.com "To earn the status of getting your name engraved on the Stanley Cup, players must play at least 40 games through the regular season or one in the Cup final." but since y'all refuse to believe anyone else ... read it Get to know Stanley and his History ...
