Why don't they just hang #6 on the rafters? People don't even know about him half the time. I believe the same goes for #16 as well. If they're officially retired by the team since 1939 (for Aurie) they might as well just toss up a banner, or allow new players to use it.

I wonder if one day, people will have to start using 3 digit jersey numbers?

This is what should be done, hang somewhere in the Joe and even the next arena (Delta Centre) a couple of jersey banners recognizing numbers out of circulation. #6, #16 and hopefully #24. They don't have to be retired, but maybe somewhere in the concourse have giant photos of the players and have their jerseys hanging next to them and OFFICIALLY take them out of circulation....

I am still not sure about this. I know offense will be great but we still don't have anything solid for last d pairing and coupled with the fact our goal tending is soft, I don't see progress. I get there is no way we could get a solid dman for a steal like Modano too. Welcome mike. Kenny needs to get rolling on the back end sometime soon.

And that talk bout trading meech for a six pack was hilarious!

Can we drop the puck now? Please?

EDIT: Also, I would like to apologize to Mrs. Willa Mandy Ford-Modano for any false accusations I made against her in regards to Mikey coming to Detroit.

I'm stupid. You're smart. I was wrong. You were right. You're the best. I'm the worst. You're very good-looking. I'm not attractive.

Haha, well neither did I but Aurie and I think Red Kelly are big topics of negative press for the Ilitches and are often debated on here. Or at least I think it was on this Wings board.

"I think it was more so on my wife’s radar than anything,'' Modano said. "She wanted me to go play, and especially in Detroit to kind of shove it up everybody’s ... you know."

I'd like to shove it up Mandy Modano's... you know. :D

Just stay out of my way. Or you'll pay. Listen to what I say.

+1 to the first who completes the comeback.

Modo seemed really fired up about being in Motown. The presser was short but you could tell he's really ready to get the season under way.

Cupie, Cupie, Cupie... :)

You have to love Ilitch (Ilić)...

Solid move - he will end up playing on the 2nd line with Franzen and Hudler - cause those 3 guys will have HUGE season.

Latest news - great news, is that Mitchell is considering Detroit offer http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2010/08/the_sporting_news_willie_mitch.html

If Holland can sign Willie = WOW
