But wouldn't you really want the Wings to stoke those regional rivalries with four games each against Vancouver and Phoenix?

[Drake_Marcus 890]

They were 10th in the league or the east or something last year

This year's team is completely different on the back end-- they have, what, 4 new D?

Yeah back to back, preseason Friday 9-25 in Detroit, Saturday 9-26 in Toronto

Regular season just once in Toronto. For a HNIC, Saturday November 7

And the Joe home opener when they ruined our banner raising ceremony by showing us that the days of tight defensive Wings hockey were apparently over.

I am no a big Leaf fan, or Canadian team fan for that matter. Every time I go to Canada I can not wait to get home.

I thought It was funny when my sister told me her team of 10 skaters, and 2 goalies spanked the Canadians and won the Womens 18+ tournament in Brampton.

wow thanks for that tidbit of information...

funny thing though, i live like 5 minutes away from Brampton and i actually spanked your sister that same night after her game after she spanked the Canadian women (who aren't butch by the way, probably why they lost to her)

Well, everybody knows you can't win unless you have a bunch of tough guys with little talent.

Their D core is good, but they have virtually no offense and goaltending. Won't even make playoffs.

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

I cheer for two teams:

1) Detroit

2) Any team that plays Toronto.

Wow, esteef, you never told us that you were so handsome and a Leafs fan to boot.

The preseason game on the 26th is also on HNIC.

I always like to see teams that have been struggling turn their stuff around. I had alot of hope for Philly when they signed Briere....and now they have done me dirty by trading for the biggest piece of crap in hockey.

If it weren't for the Wings, I'd be a Leafs fan.

Many people are surprised to learn that they were actually in the top-third of the league in goals-for last year. It's offense by committee, but it worked last year.

Who knows if it will work this year. I'm guessing that guys like Tlusty, Kulemin, Bozak & Stalberg will all get a chance to show what they can do at one point or another.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

Does anyone know if any pre-season games will be on the NHL Network, or NHL Center Ice?

As far as i know,NHL Center Ice does that whole free preview deal at the beginning of preseason play

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

From what I recall - NHL Center Ice will give a free preview (here in the States though) of the 1st week of the regular season...I don't think they've ever shown any pre-season games here in the States; maybe the NHL Network will air some?

I'd like to see the bloodbath pre-season games against the Leafs.

lol bloodbath.....Valttteri Filppula vs. Colton Orr,Ville Leino vs. Mike Komisarek

[MacK_Attack 108]

One of the Leafs/Wings pre-season games is on CBC.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

Their biggest problem over the years has been developing young talent, so we'll see how that goes in the long run.

The signing of gritty players and fighters was not much of a suprise since Burke took over.

A Lineup that includes:

Colton Orr

Jamal Mayers

Andre Deveaux

Ben Ondrus

Wayne Primeau

Mike Komisarek

That just might b a lineup put together by Mr.Burke imo,hes done a good job

I would say at least three of those guys (mainly Deveaux, Ondrus & perhaps Mayers) will all start with the Marlies.

I noticed you left out Schenn, Exelby & Beauchemin. Are they not crappy enough for your list?

Ondrus and Mayers will definitely not be in the minors,this is a Brian Burke team,remember?and tough goons like Schenn and Bauchemin were left off the list due to the girlscout factor(visor)
