Why couldn't doc give whatever he's got to Eddie as well.

He did.....Eddie will be out with a sore butt for Saturday's deciding game.

Oh sure, it's all fun and games until the fans drop dead of heart attacks.

Lol Ken and Mickey pointing out that Flip has 3 points in 16 games now

I wish I had the FSD feed.

Datsyuk scored an NHL 13 goal !

F the haters... I still believe in Ken Holland

I tend to agree with what Holland is saying.  There are no top 6 forwards or top 4 dmen out there, so what's the point?  Adding another aging 3rd or 4th liner isn't what this team needs.  With the reduction in the salary cap next year and the buyouts that can take place this summer, I'd rather stand pat than make some desperate move that guarantees us nothing.  So what will everyone be saying if Pitt doesn't win the Cup?  Or Boston?  Or Chicago?  Or Vancouver?  They're all favorites, but only one team is going to take it, and it's possible none of them will. 

If Abby is 220 I must be 405

 

he just doesn't play like it anymore but he's always been solid.

 

Zanon who's been out there running everyone is 5'11" and 200 lbs.  I would've thought he was bigger based on how he was hitting.

Dont fix it yet. Those are some deals.  Just give me enough time so I can find my credit card and social security number.

I stil say we hold the trump card in Filppula when it comes to acquiring Ryan... I still think Howson is an idiot, but I guess he doesn't want Franzine either...do you blame him?

BTW, to Holland this off season, for attemtpting everthing we've been complaining about him NOT doing the last 4-5 years... He is trying...

Columbus wants 2 NHL ready forwards for Nash....Franzine I think would qualify as more than NHL "ready."  Mursak and Tatar are BOTH NHL ready...add the 1st round to sweetin the pot because we are within the Central....

That's all assuming that Howson would accept that offer.  I think Franzen is the only piece of that trade that CBJ would want from the Wings.  One (arguably) bad contract for another.  The rest is well... surely one of those 5 other teams can and will do better than Tatar and Mursak.  Plus, Holland can't keep giving up these 1st round picks.  I've never seen anything from Nash to make me believe that he's more than a one-dimensional, somewhat selfish forward.

It will completely tilt me if he signs a 1 year deal..the reason we were shying away from him is because he apparently wanted a multi year deal..I would take him on a 1 year deal for sure.

Carle isn't the kind of guy that can be the franchise d-man... Suter was.  I don't see the Wings going after him as hard as they did with Suter. I think it's more likely they look at the trade market if they're still looking for a #1 D-man

I don't think SMith would have to be included....I'd say goodbye to Filppula, Mursak, Quincey, 2nd...for Ryan and Schultz... be sad to see Filppula go, but this is Bobby Ryan...

You seem to have unrealistic expectations. It's a bit delusional to think Holland can trade one decent player and a bunch of scraps for potential stars.

It's going to take Filppula + Smith (and possibly) Nyquist to get those two guys. Especially considering what Pens got for Staal, Holland will need to mortgage the future.

I'm glad he didn't do anything hasty tonight like you were eagerly proposing. Red Wings are better off...

Don't let the door hit you on the ass Stuart. I don't feel bad for anyone who makes multiple million dollars a year in a occupation that is not family friendly and then complains about not getting to see their family. If he really wanted to see them more he'd just retire.
