Rask is impossibly impassable.   He appears to be very calm and focused out there.  Love watching him now.  Not so sure about next year.

 

I love Jagr and I'm glad he's still playing.  Somebody said Millbury put him down on the air.  Envy, anyone?  I hope he scores a goal before it's all over.  

Interesting.  I can't even stand looking at him.  He looks like a really ugly, loose-cannonball Mandy Patimkin (sp).  

 

Agreed. He looks like a terrier that was hit in the face by a shovel.

Here's hoping for a historical win tonight for the Griffins!!!!!

I agree with all of this Filpulla talk and it just makes me hate Holland more for not trading Fill for a draft pick when he had the chance!

 

That draft pick able to pass the puck to Nyquist for the overtime winner in game 2 vs Ducks?

 

That draft pick able to score the series winner in game 7 vs Ducks?

 

I'm all for letting Filpulla walk if it comes to that, but I'm glad we had him for this playoff run. The Wings may have fell short, but the experience of being a goal short of the confernece finals trumps the value of an uncertain draft pick IMO.

The East aint going to be looking to hit and beat up our grinders.... They are going to hit the hell out of our scores and play makers which worries me in regards to longevity and injuries.

Every game will seem like a playoff style game and honestly I dont think Bickell is an asset. he wouldnt hurt to have but not a head turner for me.

We need some more nails and mass because the East will be looking to welcome the mighty mighty Wings to the east by christening the ice with their blood.

 

The East might be more physical than the West, but come on.

 

It's not like we're going from Ice Capades to Slapshot.

great news!!!!!!!!!

Babcock also had this to say about Filpulla's injury:

 

"You guys watched the video, you decide," Babcock said. "He's hurt. He'll be ready for camp."

 

So I guess Filpulla's going to re-sign?

 

OR, Babs was just talking, much like the Helm quote.

 

Basically, I woudn't put too much stalk in how the coach phrased his responses. Know what I mean?

Yeah. This is the type of year when all the half-assed hockey fans and morons do well in hockey pools.

Has anyone considered that Filpulla might not actually want to play for Detroit anymore? He has that choice now.

He'd look great in Anaheim centering Selanne and Etem. Temmu loves him, and he already has
Mad chemistry with Etem

You mean if he got the chance to play with and around Lids like everyone else did?  We got Ian White to play with Lids and like I said before, a pilon could be +20 with Lids and get 40 points.  White got low 30's I believe. 

 

Yup. That's what I meant,

Maybe if Smith played a full season here last year like he should have, the ride would be a little less bumpy right now.

 

I feel like he's the one prospect the Wings have mis-managed up to this point. But I also feel like he'll be fine moving forward.

This series will be won based on who wakes up first: Franzen-Filpulla vs Hossa-Sharp.

Both Mule and Flipper need to play with more jam.

Normally I'd say the Pens would hang on to him. However, they'll need to dump salary before next season I believe. Tough call.

As far as the Wings go, Jimmy's a work-horse. Play him as much as you can next year, and hope Monster is healthy and capable of playing a few games. Then bring Mrazek up for 14-15.

Mc"Nail"

He's going through a learning experience. Very valuable. 

He'll be a seasoned veteran by the time the Wings make this year's SCF

Both Boudreau - Ducks

 

"Both"?

 

You must be referring to his chins.
