I would feel bad giving up more than 2 firsts for any player. I dont like moving draft picks one bit.

During the Olympics Rafalski was the best defenseman in the world. He was an animal in the 08 playoffs. This is a very unselfish move by the Michigan man. Hell, I might consider buying a Rafaski USA jersey. I do not think his performance at the Olympics will ever be forgotten.

Kaberle needs to stay the f*** away from this team.

Amen!

With Raffi gone I think Lids will be back. I also hope that Ericsson does not get signed. I wouldnt mind if Salei returned. I was not happy our defense this season, this is an opportunity for Kenny to help out the team.

LETS GO WINGS!
Time to make history and end this series!

I haven't done the forum thing before during the playoffs, but seriously...

Is this the normal idiocy that goes on?  Like if another player was in the same boat it'd be:

"Oh, Datsyuk took a couple penalties and hasn't scored yet this round!  GrrRRRRRr!!!!  He totally f***in sucks!!ONE1!!!   Kick him off the team IMMEDIATELY!!! Hes a BUM!!!1!!11"


Ridiculous.

Like I said before, get a grip guys...


I guess someones always gotta be the scapegoat though....such is life.

The thing is Abdelkader is not half as good as Datsyuk. In all honesty Abdelkader is hurting us more than helping us right now.

The Detroit Red Wings fear nobody.

Everyone knew it was only a matter of time until that ****** canoe was out of there. Gretzky has more coaching ability than that idiot.

Saw him play a game here(Sudbury) during the first round of the OHL playoffs in which the Wolves swept him and the 67's. Can't say he looked all that great that game, and heard he was nothing spectacular all series. Did'nt know he was a highly touted prospect in the Wings system. lol Guy musta been off his game a tad eh?

You must have seen his bad game, a poster on HF said he saw all the games and in the others Mrazek was nothing short of spectacular. I would paste his entire post on here but that thread got deleted yesterday.

Its true that goalies are the most unpredictable players to project potential for, but Mrazek is supposed to be one of the most competitive goalies in the CHL, and he has awesome athleticism. His competitiveness alone makes me feel that much better about him.

I am pretty relieved, it doesn't really sound too bad. If anything Z gets to rest up a few days for the playoffs.  

If anybody thinks that we are going to come out flat and get our asses handed to us they haven't been watching the Red Wings for very long.  This is a "bounce back" game.  The Wings will give 100% effort on this one.  The only thing that stands in their way is Rhinne.  It may be a close game but I guarantee we will see maximum effort from the Wings.

The magic number is 2.  Any combination of Wings wins and Preds losses means that the Preds can't win the division.  A win tomorrow will wrap this up.  If Chicago wins tonight against Columbus which is likely, the magic number for them is 2 1/2 (5 points).




So even though this is a "bounce back" game you are going to be pessimistic and predict another embarrassment?  Ok then...

Chill out dude, im pretty sure it was a joke.

Helm - Captain
Eaves - Alternate Captain
Miller - Alternate Captain

BOOM!

A few. The main attraction I saw was a 6 man brawl with people falling down the isle still fighting. That was gold.

I really wish I could go choke that stupid ******* above the stanley steamer bus right now.

This team has been absolutely freaking pathetic. Its always something with these guys, they let in 5 goals a game or dont score any. Dats and Z have zero chemistry out there, I think its time to split them up. After the showing against the Yotes Babs seemed pretty pissed but it doesn't seem like he did much. Its not like they played horrible tonight, but I dont care how hot the goalie is this team only scored 1 goal. The Wings performing like they have the last 3 months is just frustrating as hell. You know they arent giving it their all every game, and they play with zero momentum.
