Detroit Red wings just pwn like every NHL team but they need some more solid goaltending. anyboyd have any sugestions of who Detroit should try and get in the off-season?
Osgood is amazing, but conklin is almost sad, i think that since they are with out a doubt the deepest in skill positions, they should trade around and try to pull Giguere (probably not going to happen though) or even Simyon Varlamov, he is in his second year right now, but he can be great.
Avs blow, look at them... just seems silly to fight with the bush league AV's nowadays to me. Though I'd LOOOOOOOOVE for this rivalry to actually mean something for us wings fans again.
how about i beat you in front of your home town crowd? "yes, i like that sir" how about i punch you again? "ok, i am a little avalanche player. dont hurt me big red wing guy!!!"

Unfortunately we're not going to see too much of that this year, because our dipsh#! coach Babcock, would rather have other teams push us around all game long while he keeps losers like Kopetsky and Meech, and over-the-hill McCarty out there?. Here's to probably having two or three of our star players on the injured list come playoff time. Babcock, you suck!
Just look at Kopecky recently, he's been coming into his own. Babcock knows a good player when he sees one, but he also knows some just need playing time to come into their own. Kopecky is going to be great.
The braintrust of the Red Wings is perhaps the wisest hockey group ever assembled.
The game has changed for the better and the Red Wings understand what it takes to win.
The Wings have team tuffness. They can bang with anyone in a physical game -- just ask the Ducks. But the league isn't a fighting league any more -- you don't need to waste a spot on those thugs who can't skate.
Laperriere deserved that one. A total BEATDOWN by Downey, I LOVED it! More revenge took place during the playoffs as I fell asleep and when I awoke, the series was over, lol...
Franzen scored as many goals for the entire series as the AVS did...
Only reason AVS have had success in past playoffs is because Lacroix bought the Cup & they had Wah. Avs, u figuring out that without a bloated payroll and no Wah life is tough for ya. You're as good as the Panthers.
Maybe they should just let Mac and Downey go at it, and whoever wins gets the spot. I have to believe Downey would beat the snot out of him. Mac had his days in the spotlight--socred a few memorable goals, kicked Turtle Boy's ass--but he's no longer effecive on the ice, and that's what it comes down to. If I had to choose an enforcer for my team and it came down to Mac or Downey, it's not even close.
As a matter in fact I JUST read the paper, and it had an interview with Mike Babcock. Babcock said he isn't sure about who will fill the enforcer position, either Downey or McCarty. They both have 2 way contracts. He said he isn't sure but also stated Mac if definitely a better skater. How ironic huh?
Yeah, but enforcers aren't on the team to skate; they're there to protect the team's star players. The wings have plenty of guys who can skate. My point is I think Downey's a better fighter, period. Skating has nothing to do with it. It's all about physical presence.
Maybe you aren't intelligent enough to get the point of my last comment. You made that remark against McCartys skating, but yet again you now claim you do not care about the skating.
Downey does bring a good physical presence, but there is no way he is more valuable than Maltby! Are you crazy? Look at the defensive work that Maltby does, and he's a good skater too.
the wings should send down maltby's ass and call downey back up. they will need his physical play and bone crushing hits if they play the sharks, downey and mccarty will get under peoples skin!
I agree the Wings need Downey, but McCarty can go back to whatever crackhouse he crawled out of. Dude's washed-up. They only let him back to boost slumping ticket sales.
couldnt agree with you more, at the time of my comment the wings were still in the middle of the playoffs and i was looking for some physical play out of their big forwards! but shit now that they won the cup and got even better with hossa, mccarty's old ass can go! i dont know why they brought him back, he is the toothless wonder still living off that lemiuex fight from like 10 years ago! he is taking up a roster spot for a younger more athletic physical type player like abdelkader
There must be something about when you play for the Cheap-Shot Avs that you can only pick on people that are smaller than you. Lepuke vs Draper and here Lidstrom against Laperriere. And when someone stands up to them, they turtle. Typical hit from behind cheap shot faggot piece of shit Avs.
lol im more of a detroit fan then an av one, but half of he ime downey gets his ass beat lol. darren mccarty doesn't usually do much better. i liked downey in this one though. clear win for downey here.
Say what you will about Downey, he may get his ass handed to him from time to time, but he takes up for his teammates when he has to. Check out Downey vs Boulerice from a few years back, its hilarious.

It's about time this rivalry gets started up again. I hope the Avs get the 8 slot too, this matchup is nothing like it used to be...but we Avs just got Foote and Forsberg so maybe it's a sign of good shit-talking to come...Fuck the Wings, Go Avs!
Aves suck this year and they are getting their ass kicked in fights, hits, and score. By the way, McCarty is back! HAHAHAH McCarty-Downey combo in the playoffs = amazing. Too bad the Aves suck to bad even make the playoffs.
cant wait to see if mccarty gets some ice time. I love the idea of adding him to a line...maybe bring back the grind line for the playoffs. he's got some fight left in him...adds character to the team...old school hockey player for a old school hockey team. look out av's!
Lidstrom and Sakic are both awesome players, there really is no need to compare them. They are also two of the most respected guy's on/off the ice, along with Brendan Shanahan and Saku Koivu.
Saku Koivu does deserve to get mentioned with those players he sucks and u just said koivo cuz he surrvived cancer what about all the other nhl players with cancer like jason blake, phil kessel
Saku Koivu is a great hockey player, no player in the NHL "sucks", especially one who is captain of one of the most storied franchise's. He is also a member of the IOC, where he represents all hockey players who compete in the Olympics. Also he has, with his own money purchased a machine used for early detection in cancer, and donated it to a Montreal hospital.
You need to remove your Leafs goggles, and look at him as a true hockey fan.
Downey impress more and more on me, maybe they should call in Darryl Bootland to from the minors then the Red Wings will have a good line with Downey, Bootland and maybe Kopecky as a center.
Talk about getting beaten into submission.
