#2320562 Flyers sign Weber to offer sheet: 14y/$110m ($56m 1st 4yrs)

Posted by WingsAlways on 19 July 2012 - 09:37 PM

Save your cap geek garbage for somebody else.  Your wrong on every level here.  Poile will match and he will be a pred for a very long time.  Deal with it


You being a Preds fan, what is going on that we don't know about that is making these high quality players want to leave? I mean Nashville just came off the best playoff run had in franchise history and Rinne is solid in net.

I don't get it, the fanbase there seems solid. Poile must be a real *******.


#2319937 Red Wings re-sign Quincey: 2-years, $7.55m total, $3.775/yr

Quincey isn't a choice, he's a lack of options...


#2319704 Red Wings make "helluva" offer for Nash, no response

Posted by WingsAlways on 18 July 2012 - 09:20 AM

It is clear Columbus has no intention of trading the face of its franchise to the team it considers to be its top rival, a Detroit club that has dominated the Blue Jackets since they entered the NHL in 2000-01.


It's funny we keep hearing this, like Detroit is the ONLY team that has dominated Columbus... And that is WITH Rick Nash.

It's like Howson is saying "I'm not trading Nash to Detroit, then they might beat us" ;)

#2319202 Six teams on Nash's trade "list", none Canadian

Posted by WingsAlways on 14 July 2012 - 09:46 PM

i still think holland is going to land him. for some reason i really believe it.


Man I hope so, I have nothing but respect for Nash.

Where I live, usually the only guaranteed time I can watch the Wings play is on Fox Sports Ohio when they play the Blue Jackets. So needless to say I've watched Rick Nash play quite a bit, and anytime the Wings lose to the Jackets he is responsible.


#2319153 2012 Lockout Watch

Posted by WingsAlways on 14 July 2012 - 03:51 PM

Dear Lord,

Please allow the millionaires on both sides to get what they want so I can attend the 3 games this year I can afford.


And I can watch the three Red Wing games that are televised where I live. Granted no basketball, baseball, or football games are playing that night.

Crosby took a lot less then he's worth  because he's a team player and leader.


I have to disagree, he's hardly a leader. I do not doubt his talent but he lets too much go to his head and is an attention *****. He was given the captaincy too early for the wrong reason, because the flashy face of the franchise (say that three times fast) would sell more T-shirts with the "C" on his sleeve.

Penguins sure are fragile little animals, aren't they?


#2318734 Who is worse A. Semin or A. Kostitsin

Semin and Kostitsin = The Russian 1 1/4


#2318576 Holland Content with Current Roster

Posted by WingsAlways on 12 July 2012 - 10:45 AM

Well, it is tough to face the fact that we are not a contender.... I took it for granted for 19 years that I followed the Red Wings. Any advices?


I remember when we weren't a contender, when we didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of making the playoffs let alone winning the cup. I stood by my Wings then and I'll continue to do so.

As a Wings fan you can't help but notice all the animosity, even hate for our beloved franchise. That's because even where our roster stands Detroit is still a force to be reckoned with and that team you do not want to play.


#2317598 How bad are we if our roster is now finalized?

Posted by WingsAlways on 10 July 2012 - 03:39 AM

Yes, you're correct. If all of Minnesota's prospects and top players have their legs and arms cut off in 3 years, then it will start all over again. Otherwise, I fail to see how a team with a strong core, top prospects and plenty of future cap space will be rebuilding in 3 years. :eh:


A strong core? You keep telling yourself that buddy. You can put the most expensive roof on a house but without a solid foundation, it's just going to crumble...

And how about your Jack Adams award winning coach and ALL his years of experience coaching at the NHL level? Oh wait...

Plenty of future cap space? Does anyone have a spare clue to give this guy???

Hold on now!

Everyone Hold On!

I admit, I want Holland to trade some of the yoots to get Ryan or Nash or Yandle...but just a minute centcougar.  Some of us have said, the yoot movement will not work, they are too green, but there are some who say, they a really good and should be given a chance to prove themselves...ok, nobody knows which side will be correct in the end, but I'll be damned if another teams fan is going to come in here saying Detroit has noone to replace Lidstrom or Stuart and Brunner is the biggest signing so Wings are gonna suck because of their unproven talent....HUH!?!? All this from a guy who touts the Wild's awesome future based on what? Unproven talent! Sure Mikail Granule of Salt is a very VERY good prospect, but so is Nyquist, so is Tatar, so is Mursak... You come in here and say Detroit needs to replace all these guys in order to be good, yet you tout the Wild as perennial Stanley Cup Champs because of unproven NHL talent... Your kid Granook or whatever the hell name it is, has yet to prove anything in the NHL, he could flop or he could excel! NOBODY knows! So don't come in here saying you KNOW that Nyquist or Smith or Brunner are going to flop and the team is gonna suck if Holland doesn't make some moves to get established guys...How dare you!  Like I said, your Wild has a 3 year window and its over....you'll say goodbye to Heatley, The Gooch, Clutterbuck soon, you may not even keep your goalie...Your yoots may flop out because they cannot handle the NHL, NOBODY knows what a player is going to bring until they bring it...let's talk next July after we see who is good and who isn't!

and for your Young Guns analogy, I wouldn't give a drop of sweat off the guys ******* that made that bucket that I am going to piss in for YOUR future...

and before you go quoting me saying trade Mursak, trade Tatar, etc...I never said they weren't NHL ready...I said we have plenty of talent to replace them if they were needed to acquire Nash or Ryan...

It's funny how you come here and say one team is gonna suck because of unproven, yet highly touted talent and in the same s*** soiled breath you say another will be Champs with unproven, yet highly touted talent!  I pity whoever marries you and if you have children, what's next you voted for the war, now you are against it? Let me quote another movie "Do us a favor, make like a tree and get out of here!"


This made me feel all warm and fuzzy...


#2317119 Red Wings Sign Jordin Tootoo to 3-yr deal, $1.9M/yr

Posted by WingsAlways on 08 July 2012 - 07:48 PM

I was caught off guard by this move and had my initial mixed feelings just like everyone else but I think he'll do just fine. Besides he'll have Babcock as a coach now...
