Originally posted by baycouples That's true. It was sad to watch. It's our first loss in about a dozen of games though and we're number one in NHL for the past week and a half.
enjoy it well it lasts, the days when you guys can just buy players whenever you need them are coming to an end...hopefully a level playing feild next year or whenever....glad your a hockey fan though

Sure they bought a few players though trades/signings but they do have a nice young core of players. They have two up comming super stars in Zeterberg and Datsuk, not to mention 2 more promising stars in Hudler and Grigorenko
Our team had 10 people out of the line up late last year and we had to play a lot of rookies and new lines. We have 5 major players out right now too and this is the first game we lost in a long time.
My most favorite player is Legace who was a back up of a back up in the beginning of the season and now he's considered to be a starting goalie.
So, as you can see we can play a good game with veterans and rookies.
I'm going to the Sharks vs Wings game on the 23rd and this time we better win ( last two times we lost ). I hate being one of the few Wings fans and getting booed by Sharks fans when leaving.
how good where the wings back in the day before teams could buy players?? not saying they will be bad but they wont be on top or close every year like they are now...wings do have the highest payroll in the league and the proposed 38 mil salary cap they will have to cut half the budget...again I'm glad you guys are hockey fans

When were they not allowed to buy players?
But I still think they'll do well, with or without this so called salary cap. (38mill seems kinda low <- rumors)
sorry you guys are kinda like yankees fans to us fans of small market teams...hope you understand and I know the Wings dont want to play Calgary in the first round, they said so themselves
How can you like Avs and Wings at the same time? That doesn't make any sense. We don't like Avs - they are a nasty team. They should move their "show" to WWF.

could be worse - you could live in Philly
rooting for another team in Philly is life threatening
I am a Red Wings fan! I live in Toronto and I am also a huge leaf fan, but I grew up watching and following detroit and Steve Yzerman is my favorite player by far! He is the man!
I grew up in Warren (a 'burb of Detroit) - I have an almost frightening love for the Red Wings (or any other Detroit team, yes - even the Tigers).
And for all you cry-babies whining about us buying stars - don't hate! They have to retire sometime, just deal with getting your asses handed to you for another 2-3 years and then we can get to that level playing you've dreamt about.
Finally, Nicky - how in gods name can you possibly even put the Av's as #2? Are you possibly a schizophrenic? Look into it.
Ok, my two cents have been placed on the table.
Have a profitable day!
[and yes, I've played hockey since I was 6 - so I do know a thing or two about what I'm talking about - fookers! ;) ]

I have said the same thing over each of the last 7 or 8 years. If Yzerman and the Goalie are 100% healthy (in this case CuJo), then we will be ther playing in June.
The injury bug is hurting us right now.
Does anybody have news on the Hatcher shoulder injury?

Wow. I guess you also like Ferrari #1, and all the other top teams?
I just find this pathetic to like top teams simply because they are the current top teams. Especially when you have a team in your City.

Cujo Chokes every year in the playoffs! Why would this year be any diffrent?
Cujo is the only guy I don't like on the team. He will probably be the start goalie if he doesn't fuck up during the rest of the season. But as soon as he makes anybody nervous - Legace will take over. Legace is the man for us to win the cup!
