I stopped posting here awhile back, probably a couple years ago or so. Just wanted to stop in and let anyone who wanted to trade Filppula a couple years ago know how stupid they are. I can't even describe how many topics/posts on hating Filppula there was and how many intense arguments I engaged in regarding him. That kid has always shown such great potential but was just one little step off from making alot of great plays we would have remembered for along time. He use to never get the power play time or chance to play with the skill players he needed to complete him. Now look at him.. Who knows how good this kid could be for us for years to come. Yeah I'm sure Joe average all you guys wanted to dump him for would have paid off real good today hey?

I also wanted to chip in on some other garbage I noticed in my 5 minutes of browsing the forums.. You guys are seriously dogging Franzen? Do you guys even watch other games besides the Wings? You do know unless you sacrifice all your depth, defense, goal-tending you just can't have four 80 point players now days? Look how good that has worked out for teams. Franzen is our 3rd/4th forward, and he is a very good one. Bottom line, enough said, that's a fact. Look it up. What do you expect Crosby and Ovechkin to fill out 3rd and 4th forward position? Get real you none appreciative clowns.

Oh our team this year isn't Stanly Cup caliber?? How so? Because we lost a few games past couple weeks? You do realize we are one of the top teams in the league and have been all season right? We don't have as much talent you say?? Hmm weird, we have pretty much the same players as we had last Stanley cup final appearance.. Except for all of our depth is even better today than it was then. All of our bottom forwards, Kronwall is playing like a top defensemen in the entire league. Get real guys and appreciate this great team we have. Not good enough for ya I'm sure ya can go find a better franchise than Detroit to follow. Wait, there isn't one.

Yeah because dumping players and making trades is how we became the most consistent and respected franchise in the league for over two decades. That's definitely our style. Making risky trades parting with proven system molded players. We'll just up and ship him and his family away because hes playing good and is worth every bit of his contract, doing exactly what we want him to do. Good logic buddy!!!

With a mind set like that you could go be a GM for Colorado

Because they were to stupid to see his potential and allow him to develop. Jeff if your way of viewing this is so smart, why didn't Holland go ahead and trade him like almost all of LGW wished? Because they seen what the very few of us on this board are capable of seeing. You know, the very few who actually played hockey and know things about hockey?

It just pisses me off how much people around here try to preach when they don't know s***. If you don't know s***, allow yourself to learn from the people who do by keeping your mouth shut and listening for once.

Sorry I made a spelling error. I wasn't informed that I was participating in an online spelling b. I guess if I was you and had no comeback I would probably have to make a pathetic attack. I'm sure you triumph my bachelors degree and probably make 7 figures too hey? Let's keep this about discussing hockey alright? I have to be professional all day at work, I don't need that s*** here. <----- God, I am really going to contradict myself in this thread...... Oh well, I'm the f***ing man

Well, it'd be a pretty boring forum if all we did was slap each other on the back and toast every move made by Holland and Babcock.

But anyways... You're awesome! Cheers!!

Thank you for that last part, I completely agree.

I see your point; although, s*** gets pretty stupid around here. Like to the point that most guys with much of a brain eventually just leave. It would be nice to discuss legit hockey, not spend 10 hours filtering through the endless retardedness that fills the forums on a daily basis. You can pretty much create an argument for any angle you approach things. But I keep it real and only attack from the correct angle, which is why I am so great.

Also, I mean if you want to see it the way you mentioned. Than this is the topic your looking for right? Because I am spicing things up around here and will be talking alot of s*** for the course of this thread. Well, for atleast tomorrow then I'll probably throw in the towel on this war.

Goodnight guys. I'll be back tomorrow to fully consume your pathetic responses and destroy you through a computer screen. It's all good fun though

My only hope is another few years before the next post of yours.

Now is the time to trade him while his value is good.I'd trade him even up for Chris Neil or Parros and it would be the easiest decision I'd make all year.

Get ready for OT guys!

Wings need a TO as the Sharks are about to tie this game up!

Thank god!  7.8 mil until 2018 is too much to be committed to long term with Zetterberg and Franzen tied up to infinite contracts.

Why? Franzen will be retired by 2016, and his cap hit is actually pretty reasonable for a good top-six forward.


Although I agree that Nash's contract is ridiculous. Case in point, this year's stats:


Nash: 57 GP, 18-21-39
Hudler: 57 GP, 18-17-35


Now let's compare their ES numbers as Hudler plays the point on the PP and isn't really given any kind of comparable situation to score.


Nash: 57 GP, 14-11-25
Hudler: 57 GP, 17-12-29


Ice time at even strength?


Nash: 880:57, or 15:27 per game.
Hudler: 731:26, or 12:49 per game.


Hudler is better defensively than Nash, plays all three forward positions and can play the point on the PP. Nash plays one wing. Yet fans here want to trade high-end prospects AND top picks for Nash's $7.8m lifetime deal, but think bringing Hudler back in the $2.5-$3.5m range would be overpayment? Yes... let's agree to believe that.

i wouldn't worry about the rangers.  the wings will have a hard enough time staying ahead of vancouver.  they'll end up 2nd in the west at best.

Oh, dear.  We all know how this goes:

Wings: 3
(1)Ericsson, (2)Miller, (3)Helm
Wings called back: 2
(1)Homer for goaltender interference despite that fact that he was near the blue line when he shot it, (2)one that went in after Patty Sunshine in the press box heard a good joke and smiled, melting the ice between the puck and goal causing the puck to slide the path of least resistance.

BJ's: 3 Lebda, Lebda, Lebda

Game decided in a shoot-out.  BJ's win on a shot by Lebda.

Obviously we should win this game, but let's hope the Wings don't have that same mindset. And please Babcock, Mursak over Emmerton.

We tied it? Good. I had to turn the game off. I have trouble watching grown men made into other men's *******. It makes me think of what it might be like in prison.
Red Wings=That skinny, young, scared pretty boy first-timer, who was a good kid that just got involved with the wrong crowd. Every other NHL team, except for maybe Buffalo and Montreal=that 6-foot-4, 350lb bald dude, that they call "Bubba".

LGW!

My chemo is now a bit more bearable  

Let's get a win for my birthday!!!!
