Kenny no longer has the cajones to make a trade. Huds will either be offered an extension or simply dumped in free agency once his contract expires.

I wish he would show players, like Hudler, that are not performing up to standards, that there are places for players like him........else where.

IMO a player deal needs to be made. Even if Flip needs to be included for the right return. We have to make this team better. and not wait for players in the
minors to be ready.

The NHL keeps saying "History will be made"  Lets make it happen!!   Go Wings!!!!

This is pretty neat  it popped up on my FB page...

Local guy by the name Baby G...

I have been staring at a blinking cursor trying to figure out what else I could possibly add to this thread ,
and to be honest, there is not much I can say that has not been said already.

they waited too long to retire his number.... It should of been up there 5 years before his playing days ended.
I remember the 97 cup win and how I wept like a baby when he swung that Cup up over his head and the smile that was on his face.....
Thinking    "FINALLY.......HE FINALLY GOT IT"!   In all my years of watching sports in Detroit, no one deserved it more than Steve.

You state that people have their "Red Wing glasses on". I counter it with you have your "Ref glasses" on. It`s fine to get the other sides (read: referees in this case) viewpoint. Always good to have as much info to process to hopefully get the correct end result. In this case of Franzen, he clearly skates in one direction, then goes sideways into the boards from the push from Doan. I didn`t need a replay to see that much although you apparently did. Disregarding everything else, the minimum you need to look at is Franzen`s face going smash into the boards from Doan`s push. There is no way you can miss it and it fulfills the boarding decription in said rule. THAT is more important to me. What you quote is the release of responsibility of missing the call that should have been made but could be used for the high sticking incident which was not as clear except from certain angles.

When you watch it .....did you watch Franzen as HE was skating?  He clearly ruts his skate and gets bumped.  it is not controllable where he goes from that point.
you cannot call a infraction based on a falling player getting bumped.  the correct call was made in that  respect....

the Helm call..... UGH!!!!!  I think the Ref needed glasses on that one!





I guess Babcock had his "Hockey glasses" on.... saw it for what it was!

Even Babcock said it should not of been a penalty.   He himself said "He toepicked and Doan hit him....No Penalty"

Just my little contribution....

I posted this in the "Creative " area of the forums..
I just wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to see it
(If they wanted to) I know not everybody looks in the Creative area of the forums on a
regular basis (Mods/Admins- I am sorry)

Enjoy!  A look back and a good luck to our Red Wings!

A look back at the season that was in 2011...
