First goal in Winnipeg...by Mike Cammalleri. Bad giveaway.

Forsberg had his jersey retired last night. Only fitting the Avalanche were facing Detroit.

They'll be up there. They have an incredible defensive core, one of the best goaltenders in the league, great depth up front...and they're well coached. I still think they'll be in the cup finals against L.A.

Nugent-Hopkins looked great last night, this kids definitely going to be staying with the big team. He's quick, crafty, an amazing passer and its impossible to seperate him from the puck which is very impressive considering he's only 170 pounds at best.

He benched more than Taylor Hall though, so I think the weight isn't an issue.

Ya he's suprisingly strong but he's going to need to add some weight. He's going to take a beating with the way he plays so he needs to add some mass to help him endure that beating.

Fixed and your welcome :lol:

Wings are looking like a good team yet again. Love how were called old, garbage...etc all we do I just win games and look good doing it.

Anybody find those player numbers on the front of players helmets annoying and distracting? To me that is **** stupid! Who wants to see their number on a helmet in big block letters? Put that **** in smaller letters on the side or back

1. I haven't noticed the numbers on front of the helmets.
2. We're three games into the year. Plenty of time for the Grandpa Wings to tucker themselves out.

Not only that but look who the Red Wings have played so far. Ottawa and Colorado. Wow, how tough.

The Flyers have dealt Stefan Legein to the Kings for future considerations. I always liked Legein, hopefully he gets a shot with the Kings.

Yeah I know it's a young season and all but still The Wings will win and continue to win. If we don't win 40-50 games this year I will be disapointed.

Also :lol: at the Grandpa wing cheap shot. We have talent and like 3 old guys. Datsyuk is what 32-33 that isn't that old and he's still a top 5 talent at worst top 10. Trust me The Wings will do just fine

He's always had a bad attitude, so I'm not surprised he's been tossed around from team to team.
