8 hours 16 min ago	.	Yes. Griffins to Red Wings = Mud Hens to Tigers.
8 hours 31 min ago	.	I gotcha
8 hours 37 min ago	.	I WIN
14 hours 52 min ago	.	Crosby, Malkin, Tavares, Ovechkin, Giroux, Stamkos, St. Louis, etc. I don't really think the east lacks in skill.
18 hours 34 min ago	.	Very likely that only Brunner is resigned from that group. Fil wants too much, Cleary might get crowded out from the young guys coming in, and White had his bags packed a while ago.
19 hours 14 min ago	.	In case of confusion, this is a 3-year EXTENSION, meaning it's added on to the one season he has left on his current contract. Pavel is going to be a wing for four more years.
2 days 20 hours ago	.	yeah
2 days 21 hours ago	.	I, for one, enjoyed the temporary suspense. Thank you.
5 days 13 hours ago	so wut ur sayin	.
5 days 16 hours ago	There are a few others in	There are a few others in there, champ.
5 days 17 hours ago	.	Yeah your missing alot of them. I realize you would of put them down if you remembered, but the ones you got really bother me, to.
5 days 17 hours ago	.	So what you're saying is, it's U of M or OSU.
5 days 18 hours ago	Weird	When I saw this on my iPhone it shows up as times new Roman. I thought you were totally serious.
1 week 12 hours ago	.	I've learned to never take it seriously when a prospect says academics are a top preference. They all say that.
1 week 3 days ago	.	Geez talk about first world problems. "The thread title is causing a slight inconvenience for me for five seconds. You suck."
1 week 3 days ago	.	but Hoke is neither Simba nor made out of a pineapple... no no this doesn't add up at all.
1 week 5 days ago	.	Gonna be weird seeing Filppula wear that next year (maybz).
1 week 5 days ago	Yeah	They remind me of the Cedar Rapids Roughriders.
2 weeks 2 days ago	.	The fourth guy probably thinks "gullible" is written on the ceiling too.
2 weeks 4 days ago	Agree	At least as long as Holland is GM, they will not sign an RFA from another team. Holland himself has said he sees it as a waste of time and has never even made an offer sheet to an RFA.
2 weeks 4 days ago	.	I wouldn't be harsh on him for picking Franzen over Hossa. Hossa wanted a crapload of money and Franzen was coming off a career year.
2 weeks 4 days ago	.	Mursak signed a 2 year deal with a Russian team a few weeks ago (http://www.mlive.com/griffins/index.ssf/2013/05/jan_mursak_to_end_stay_with_de.html) which I thought was kind of a bummer because I loved his speed. Other than that, here's how I hope their lines look next season (although this almost certainly won't happen): Tatar/Free Agent scorer-Datsyuk-Filppula Brunner-Zetterberg-Nyquist Abdelkader-Helm-Cleary Andersson-Miller/Emmerton-Eaves/Tootoo I know  a lot of people think Abby should stay on one of the top 2 lines and that Andersson should have a bigger role, but this is what I think. Find a way to get rid of Franzen (unlikely with that contract), Sammy, and Bert.
2 weeks 4 days ago	.	Regarding the signings this past offseason, Brunner: Good pick-up. Likes it in Detroit and he'll almost certainly be re-signed Colaiacovo: After striking out with Suter, they had to get SOMEONE Tootoo: Added what was missing from the previous playoffs (grit/agitation). No clue why he sat in the stands for pretty much the entire playoffs Samuelsson: Makes no sense to me. Even if he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't add anything for the team that Hudler couldn't do This off-season, Filppula: Love the kid. His skill is on par with Zetterberg, but his problem is his mentality. He seems too comfortable letting Z and Pav be the stars of the team, when he truly has the skill/potential to join them. If he's still wanting $5 mil a year, forget about it. He should get no more than $3.5 until he produces the way he has the ability to. Brunner: Re-sign him. Cleary: Nothing but heart. But doesn't seem to make a big difference until playoff time. Wouldn't be mad if they sign him, wouldn't be mad if he's gone. Miller: Meh White: He gone
2 weeks 5 days ago	.	pshh racist.
2 weeks 5 days ago	.	Well then call Wayne Gretzky and discuss it with him.
2 weeks 6 days ago	.	Yep, well put. I don't not agree with you completely.
2 weeks 6 days ago	.	Word is Datsyuk is going to play in Detroit next year (last year of his contract) then go back to Russia to finish his playing career at home.
2 weeks 6 days ago	.	He has no talent? You don't watch much hockey, obviously.
2 weeks 6 days ago	.	Stated facts? "Absolutely awful play." Yah great analysis.Smith pissed me off as much as anyone this series, but you don't dump someone with his potential for one bad playoff as a rookie.
2 weeks 6 days ago	.	Yes let's dump the rookie Smith for struggling in his first ever playoff. Stop saying stupid things.
