Cut the guy some slack, he did save that baby after all.

Bertuzzi made the 2011-12 season for me, his shootout goals were among some of the most euphoric hockey moments I ever experienced, especially in the later stages of the home winning streak. I think he still got a few barrels left and he will be firing on all cylinders, provided he can dodge the injuries.

Reading some of the hate and rage targeted towards Alfredsson on the Ottawa board left me wondering. Would we have reacted the same way had Lidstrom pulled something like that?

It's uncanny for me that so many people immediately said Paver Bure. I became interested in and fascinated by the NHL when I was 10 and got hooked on NHL 2000. I chose Detroit as my team purely because I loved their jersey, but Pavel Bure was my favorite player, only because I loved his name and the way he looked. Since then whenever a new NHL game came out, the first thing I did was that I traded him to Detroit and put him on a line with Yzerman and Fedorov. It was always a dream of mine that it would happen in real life. There was no rhyme or reason behind it, maybe just that Russians and the Red Wings went along so nicely. Anyway, it's nice to know I wasn't alone.

Maybe, but I doubt it's that simple. A contract is usually a complicated thingy which has to be respected by both parties. Makes me wonder.

How can Ovi stay in the KHL when he has that monster of a contract? Will Dynamo buy it out?

I think a presentation about the last 20 something years of the Wings would be interesting, mentioning how they managed to recover from the "Dead Wings" era with the leadership of Yzerman, the Stanley Cups, the playoff streak, the Russian Five, the Konstantinov-incident, the rivalry and brawls with the Colorado Avalanche, the back to back finals with the Penguins, lots of interesting stuff to choose from.

Um, they make millions because they generate an even bigger income for their clubs/record labels/film studios. Duh.

The Wings have absolutely the best looking uniform, hands down. That's why I fell in love with them as a kid.

We just lost Lidstrom, I won't be ready to lose Dats in 2 years.

Datsyuk's late goal vs. Nashville was the highlight of the last season for me and the perfect way to set an NHL record.

Selanne. Glad he's back.

Um, the last time Hasek played in Czechoslovakia was in the 80's.

Bertuzzi is worth it for the shootouts alone.
