We should sign Manti Te'O

 

No, lets get Lennay Kekua or whatever... she'd probably be better than quincey at this point, and she's not even real.

Mursak hurt. Upper body injury.

 

What a shame for the Griffins.... 

Great job by Jimmy to at least keep us in the damn game.  the defense sucked, the PK sucked, the forecheck sucked, the offense sucked...basically everything by howard sucked out there that period...  we're clearly either not ready to play, or not good enough to play good teams.  I know its early, and im trying not to over react... but that was beyond pathetic.

Jimmy's been hung out to dry tonight twice already...  yet the haters will continue to say he doesnt belong in net..

 

This has been a pathetic effort so far by the Wings.  If this is what's in store for the next 47...  I want the lockout back.

Told ya's...  PK means. goal opposition with this team tonight...

 

Down 2-0. 

 

yikes...

 

Can we go back to the lockout?

Go Wings Go!!!  Lets get this "season" started with a win!

your like a little kid that didnt get his way.... grow up. The wings are not as high and mighty as you and half the people on here think they are. thoes two will have a fine 13 years in minny.

LOL!!   That's too funny.  I couldnt care less we didn't get Suter.  I'm assuming you're a minny fan, so I'm glad they overpaid for him rather than us.  Do we need help, did we need him?  Absolutely.  To be tied to a ridiculous contract though for 13 years, at probably 7.5 million or so a year...  nobody needs that.   It's ridiculous.

It's not about not getting my way...  i dont care.   It's about teams, using 13 year deals, that will never been seen through, simply to pay a guy a massive signing bonus to lure him to the team, and spread it over a stupid long contract, a contract that will never see the end of its term.  As I said, its not right IMO, we've done it in Detroit, and I'm still complaining about it.   So...  your post is worthless.  Thanks.

how the hell did we get outbid by the wild? this is pathetic.

Probably because they are stupid, and more willing to put their franchise into cap hell than we are?

Listen, I wanted Suter here, but...  he's not elite.  The cash he's going to get is far more than he's worth.

13 years?  Give me a break...   The NHL has to do something with these ridiculous deals.  It's obvious it's just circumventing the cap.  Lots of teams have done it, sure.  It's just ridiculous though.  To think anyone is going to play out these 13 year deals is ridiculous.

As for Suter...   congratulations picking yourself a new home where you will never see the Cup.  Apparently thats what he wanted though, stay isolated, away from all the spotlight and attention, collect the big fat paycheck, and never live up to its potential.  If we see Minnesotta paid him more in cash too, then its obvious Suter wasn't focused on winning, but more so on cash.  He's got a far greater chance of winning here, or Pittsburgh, or hell, even Nashville than he does in Minny.

With a deal like that I'm glad he's not here.  Our D is going to suck, no doubt, but 13 years, and what I'd assume is over $100 million... its just stupidity I think.

Even at only 50% he's been playing better than most of our guys who are at 100% healthwise...  ridiculous.

Fil needs to be benched. He's been awful.

lol  and just who do you suggest they replace a guy like Filpulla with?  lol

What a joke.  Its ridiculous how the NHL allows players to get away with cheap shots like this at the end of playoff games because there really are no reprocussions to doing so.  He gets a 2 minute minor at the end of the game which means nothing, and he gets fined $2500 which he probably makes to play 1 minute in the next game.

Nothing like preaching player safety, and protecting the head while allowing someone to deliberately elbow someone in the back of the head, then drive his head face first into the glass afterwards.  

Unreal.  Only in Gary Bettman's NHL.. .

Thank you Jimmy Howard!!! He's pretty damn near the only reason we had a chance to win this game.   Thank you Datsyuk for taking over the game as well.  

Huge win for the wings.  Going back to detroit now, I really feel like we have a chance to send this to 7

Howard standing on his head.

He's been doing that all playoffs IMO.

As I type this, there's another huge save from him.  Wow.

Thornton should be embarassed for that dive from a little tap from franzen.  What a complete joke this sharks team is.
