In Kenny We Trust.

Always. The fact people have the audacity to say otherwise on here is just out and out blasphemous.

Though the Malts umbilical has to be cut. (No clue how to spell that, feel like its close and weird enough of a reference)

People love to bring in new faces, big faces at that. Come May though, they'll appreciate the fact that Kenny didn't strap us with some stupid overpaid underachiever, which I assume will happen to many this year. Then it will be the same thing all over again next July.

No way, I cant wait to see Gaborik and Boogaard take the league by storm. Look out Backstrom and Ovie

This might make you feel better:

Holland has talked to the agents for Kirk Maltby, Andreas Lilja and Brett Lebda.

“I told them it’s in their best interest and our best interest if they explore the market,’’ Holland said. “We can have a conversation next week if they’re still out there. That doesn’t mean we’ll sign them.’’

I'll see your Gaborik-Boogey combo and raise you a Richards-Burish point fest.

I am not losing my mind losing a guy like Lils like some on here were for an entire thread, but I wouldn't mind him back for $1 mill either. In retrospect its sure nice that he is speaking with Malts and Lebda's agents but fact of the matter would be that they have absolutely no place on this team anymore. Those are the guys we need to let loose.

And the Wings went from Pres trophy contender to almost out of the playoffs, remember the jump to fifth took one hell of a run at the end!

That wasn't because of the players we lost in the off season (Abdelkader was our 2nd line center for a while). It was because of the injuries we sustained. The latter half of the season when we had an actually healthy lineup we were the best team in the league.

other teams who had significant injuries also s*** the bed

The season before when Mule and Z were out as well as either Lids or Kronwall (can't remember which) Hossa and Pavel carried the team for stretches.

Last season a hot Howard carried the team and a very solid to great Stuart played some great D at stretches.

All I am saying is injuries is not the only reason the Wings slipped in the standings, having no offensive depth hurt as well.


EDM was s*** before the injuries, so being #1 in man games lost did not hurt them.

One injury can derail some teams, while others have depth which allows them to keep pace, CHI put themselves in a situation where this year they have no depth to deal with injuries much like the Wings last year. The difference is the Wings had a full roster.

Nystrom to Minny

Funny how after the olympic break when we had our full lineup healthy we had the highest win % of any team in the league.

Eric Nystrom signs with Minnesota. 3 years at $1.4 million.

Great deal for them

Only 2 on the "wants" list left.

Didn't we go on a 9 game losing streak during that time?

Edit: Nevermind, that was the year before.

What was the reason in late November early december, when Flip and Cleary were still healthy, before the D took a beating?

All I am saying is to say injuries is the only reason is an excuse, imo.

A Jimmy Howard playing out of his head really helped make that run at the end of the season.

This has been almost forgotten by everyone. Stuart was a machine to start the year and then battled through his injuries like he does always.

[Majsheppard]

You would also rather have Prospal then Bertuzzi. You can't always get the impossible.

He signed for less than Bertuzzi did when we signed Bert last time, had better numbers across the board. Just saying.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

Son of a *****!

I have personally quoted you on this topic at least 3 or 4 direct times in the past week, but just in case you are still wondering BABCOCK WILL NOT TAKE PROSPAL ON THIS TEAM.

[Opie]

NO the longest losing streak was 5 that season!

[DatsyukianDeke13]

Stuart never gets the recognition he deserves on this team. He has been incredibly solid since we signed him
