this is going to be a long hour and a half...

Oh puhleeeze on the fiancee thing. According to one source he hadn't talked to her recently so I'm thinking she's not exactly his #1 priority. No, it ain't always the woman's fault.

Boy I hope this is it. I can't take any more

***this just in***

Former Red Wing Kirk Maltby has just shot down a corporate jet over Lake Michigan registered out of the greater Pittsburg area with a Russian military-spec shoulder fired rocket launcher. Ecklund reports that he's not sure what surprises him more; the incident or the fact that Maltby actually hit his target.

I'm not surprised that Malts would hit his target. He was a 50 goal scorer in juniors after all...

IMO, Suter wants to play for the Red Wings and Parise elsewhere (see Pens) but the 2 of them would like to play together...

Suter is our 1st priority and Wings are doing everything in their power to sign him.

Who lives close the the airport. Drive over there and wait for the plane to land with some binoculars and tell us who gets off the plane. You will make a lot of LGW.com people extremely happy.

Yeah, unless it's just Illitch and Chelios, then everyone on this forum will lose their damn minds, haha.

Flight is on its way back now: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N559LC

If I were a betting man I'd say Suter's not on that plane whether or not we signed him... They'd announce the signing, but the presser wouldn't be until Thursday at the earliest. No rush on anything (presser-wise, anyway.)

[Crashnburnluder 385]

Your probably right but for crying out loud, give us some news. Did they go up there just to say hi, get a final no so they could move on, so they could ink the deal.... WTH haha

A report says the plane registered to Mike Ilitch's Olympia Aviation LLC did not leave with Ryan Suter. Read into that what you will.

A purported picture of the Wings' brass boarding the plane in Madison and heading back to Detroit. No Suter according to that -- but that's not surprising. Don't need him in Detroit to sign a document if it gets to that point, and a potential presser would wait until after the holiday.

Agreed. They don't need to physically take him back to Detroit. Especially right before the 4th of July.

Hmm, the plot thickens...

Was Tootoo carrying a 6'1" 198# burlap sack?

Frick! Just make the announcement already! My wife is getting very annoyed with me on this computer and twitter updates all day!

[Matt 1,048]

Nice detective work from Chris Hollis (@chollis) of The Production Line with this Flickr find:

The photo at that link shows a plane with the right tail# and matching paint scheme from the photo taken in Madison within the last hour.

Helene St. James: #RedWings initial offer to Ryan Suter was $80 M, 13 years, now up to $90 M. Team wants to keep cap # reasonable - preferably under $7 M

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

This is killing meeeeeee! Announce something already!

Oh, yeah. That's why she's annoyed with you. Sure.

These guys deserve as much time as they need to make their decisions. It just sucks that there are so many other deals that hinge on their decision.

[mtuhockey7 23]

Not sure if it's been reported yet but the Wings initial offer was 13 years, 80 million. Now up to $90 million to keep the cap hit under $7 million.

[pvilleguru 65]

So did we go up there to say here's an extra $10 mil, final offer?

No problems there....she likes watching Katie's show on HBO too!

More St. James: #Redwings made 2 year offer to D Sami Salo Sunday but lost him to Tampa Bay. Wanted to add both Suter & Salo.
