I would love to have Getz on the Wings, but not at the expense of Zetterberg.

Getz is one of those players I hate, but would love if he was a Wing.

Kenny would get a lot of flaf for making that sort of a trade.  It would be a huge mistake for the team, and the fans would rightfully go nuts.

That said, if the cap magically disappears and we can get Getz for Ritola, I say we spring for the extra cash that it would take to buy enough Crack for Quack to getterdone.

Good God no. Why is he a fit? He's old. He's soft. Not what we need. At all.

Why is he a fit? He's old. He's soft.

True, he's not what we need, but if what we need is young and tough, then he does fit in with what we have since if we had what we lacked we wouldn't be needing it.

I need a Motrin now. +

Maybe he'll go to Vancouver- just to prove that Swedes can be cuter than Sammy and the Twins.

The problem that I'm having isn't the keeping of Maltby over Lilja.  They aren't in competition for position.  Where I'm not happy is the keeping of Meech over Lilja.  Granted Meech can play forward, which is useful, but Ericsson started as a forward too.  He could do it in a pinch.

I don't really worry about either.  I visit reputable places.  Having had jobs where I'm required to clean rest rooms, I'll say that they worry me more.

Orange or strawberry soda?

i would just like to note that the draft jersey he is wearing Delvecchio's retired #10. I know that all the teams draft jerseys have the number of the draft year, but i wonder if Kenny, babs and the gang who went up on stage had something to say to bettman about it. If anything it was a rare opportunity to see a #10 wings jersey. i hope its a good omen of how this draft class will turn out for the wings

We'll get to see it in a couple of years again.

What year did they start doing that anyway?  Was it with Cheli back in LXII?

This Sheahan kid sounds good, and I do have to admit that the name reminded me of Shanny.

The whole city? Wow. That ought to cause some problems...

No.  Abner Detroit.  He has a shoe-shine stand in Milwaukee.  He's making the trip down to see the banner raised.  Look for the guy in the cheesehead with really shiny shoes.


As far as the opener goes:  Why not Analheim?  Might as well start with them.  At least it should be better than the last couple of years.  St. Louis (if you count Sweden as "home") and Toronto.  Talk about embarassing.  At least for the Ducks we bring our A game.

And as much as I hate them, I do love the Stache and I would do obscene things to get Getzlaf in a Wings jersey.

He would bring some veteran leadership.

And maybe he and Z could get their women to do Red Wings calendars so they guys could have ones like we gals do.

Maybe he could join the Leafs at the trade deadline next year.  Then he'd only have to play for a about a month.

I don't have the same hate for him now as I had for Avs from that era at that time, but he's not Gentleman Joe enough to rise above the Avs uniform for me.  Whatever.  I wish him no ill, it's just fun to poke fun at him.

WAIT! YOUf****** SERIOUS?

no s***... I fail to see what a Chicago police officer has to do with the Hawks winning the cup besides the fact that they let her out of the kitchen for their parade

and as we all know, ******* need to stay in the kitchen

Not true.  They need to leave the kitchen to make beer runs and bring out said beers.

This just in:  NHL officials hired to study whether or not enforcers would improve the efficacy of the Chicago police force, or whether they would tarnish the city's government's reputation, which, historically speaking, is right up there with the trustworthiness of NHL officials.  Crosby named most valuable consultant.    LGW discusses.

Amen to that. In 15 years Burish's by then ex-wife won't even remember he played in the NHL, yet fans will still remember Pronger.

Wings fans will remember that he touched an octo on a commercial and lost to us in the WCF of that year.  The Octopus doesn't forget.

This is a unique approach; from Toronto Star :


I don't think it would work but it is different.

Would it count against the Cap?

Yawn, another MacK_Attack Maple Leafs update. I hear enough Leafs stuff on the radio and TV, I come to LGW to get away from all that!

Just kidding MacK

I think there's a thread about the Hawks if you're looking for a change of pace.

Dion as Captain.

Once again the Leafs are making it harder and harder for me to pull for them as my fave team in the East.  

I might have to jump on the Lightzerman bandwagon.
