Vanek.

What would you give in return, that could be in the realm of possibility, of course. Edited October 3, 2013 by jimmyemeryhunter

[Jusek 437]

We have so many guys who can kill penalties. That's a very good thing.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

Vanek.

I highly doubt we get him.

Count the Wild in for him though sad but true.

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

How is it that you guys make a 5-3 PK look like 5-5? No panic,no scramble.....just wow.

Because we Turned Up the Awesome, apparently...

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

Bob Duff on Twitter just made me actually LOL:

Man, it's depressing the hell out of me to see the Joe half empty on opening night.

[MotorCityMadness 388]

Did we just have a Leino sighting? Totally forgot that guy was still around

[Dabura 12,206]

DARRYL BOOTLAND REFERENCE?!?!?!?!

[Y19 2,482]

Wrigley arena?

[Dabura 12,206]

This Datsyuk guy is pretty good.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Without Pavel Datsyuk, our team is totally and utterly boned.

[Dabura 12,206]

Franzen has been sorta invisible.

[brett 1,029]

dekeyser has great vision. he does remind me a bit of you know who.

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

Talk about getting a lead and coasting..yikes

I know. Kind of hard to lord heaven and earth over all the lesser teams if people with tickets don't go. Hell I'm going to the Flyers game next Saturday there, I better see a full house ready to rock and roll.

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

Andersson has been brutal tonight

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

Smith hasn't Pissed me off yet... So good things are good

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Samuelsson has played 6 minutes tonight. He really is a $3 million fourth liner.

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

I know who lebda

The bank didn't

[Dabura 12,206]

We look bored.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

I'm amazed Olczyk hasn't commented on the Wings subtle interference on the Datsyuk goal, because it actually kind of was by Ericsson.

[Dabura 12,206]

Have I mentioned I want Ott on this team?

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

You know your team doesn't have great leadership when Steve Ott is wearing the C.

As much as some of the management decisions have pissed me off in recent days, the team is not getting the level of respect they deserve from it's fans. We made the biggest splash in the off season within the last 6 or 7 years AND we moved to the east.......yet still that isn't enough to have a full house on opening night? Absolutely pathetic.

Honestly, it's embarrassing to have such an amazing francise yet not have the fans to support them, especially when bottom tier teams like Edmonton sell out game after game despite their location in the standings.

And yes, I get the economy is s*** and Detroit is in the toilet, but so is New Jersey and yet even when they were tanking last season, their arena looked full night after night...

If this keeps up, I'm fine with new owner Chris Illitch moving the team to an area that can show the team the respect it deserves.
