"To be successful, we have to take 7 or 8 out of every 10 points. "

-That's going to be a tall order this year.

In your head, does Holland actually say these things? If not, how long does it take before you start to believe they're real?

mostly in my head, because I just take things that he has said a million times before and just put the different names in there....of course he didn't say this, but if he were asked about Stewart, this would be something close to what he would say...something good about the player...how he would be a nice fit...but he likes the team the way it is....it's like a broken record all the time, only the names have changed....wanted dead or alive! sorry...

Hudler had nothing to do with it. We were never going to keep both Franzen and Hossa, seemed to me it was just a matter of who signed first. Also, coming off a career year and a 2nd straight big playoff year certainly didn't hurt Franzen.

Really makes you look forward to Franzen's next contract year.....oh wait...

Wings need some Ryan Pulock in the 1st round, a goal scorer in the 2nd round and rounds 3-7 all guys 6'4 or bigger. Please sign Dekeyser to play with Smith. <--Dekeyser signed, Paired next year. Mark your calendars.

Tootoo needs a partner in crime that plays like him on the other side of Helm. Oh hey, we have Mitchell Callahan. Problem solved.

Cleary.... :pokey:

there's every logic for tanking the season when it's clear that Wings have slim chances for playoffs. which will only be obvious around first week of April I guess.

other than that... why? it's a short season lot of factors come in to play that make playoffs that much more unpredictable. and most certainly nothing can be said

about the situation after just 2 games. chill out.

I mean.. it's not like we're very deep into the season, huh?
