Player(s)Everyone Should Love
Pavel Datsyuk- a class act player who has won the Lady Byng 4 times. His broken English does not stop his great sense of humor. He also loves James Brown.
Henrik Zetterberg- The Hair. Other than his greatest asset, he's also lovable because he's not afraid to take fashion risks and can dish it out with Cabbie while looking fine in jeans.
Valterri Filpula- Though motorcity "Fil" has a knack for highlights and tanning, he's great for making amazing goals when needed.
Darren Helm- He's a BEAST on the ice.
Chris Osgood- he really needs more love and respect. He's a great goalie, can poke fun of himself, doesn't seem to age and likes to give interviews shirtless.
Players We Don?t Love
Thomas Holstrom- I'll admit, he's an annoyance to goalies and gets away with a lot.
Brad Stuart- Both of Talbot's goals in Game 7 can be linked to a mistake by Stuart. Everyone is allowed to have a bad game, just don't make it game 7 of the SCF.
Who They Got
No contracts have been signed but Mike Babcock's "Black Aces" Ericsson, Helm, and Abdelkader should be making more impact this year in the NHL. The first two draft picks, Landon Ferraro and Tomás Tatar, will probably be heading to Grand Rapids for the year.
Who They Lost
Hossa+Kopecky, Samuelsson, Hudler, Conklin, and Chelios.
Located At
Joe Louis Arena in Detroit- hopefully not for long!

Hotness Level (on a scale from 1 to 10)
6. Lets face it, we aren?t the freaking Blackhawks. But if you look past the tired 'old ginger Swedish clones' stereotype, there are some lookers! (I promise)

Gah. I suck at html.
Sorry that none of the links work correctly. If you click on the them then delete the hockey junkies part you can get to the,
Sorry about the random ?'s too :\
Sorry, but Brad Stuart will forever be my favorite Red Wing for his stellar play in Game 7! ;)
I feel like a bad blog-master for not checking the links, sorry! Thanks for letting us know.
As a Preds fan, I hate everything Wings... except they signed Patrick Eaves, he's the exception to the rule. B-)
thanks for fixing the links :)
Carol- I knew that I would find a couple of Stuart fans here because of that game!
I'm not a fan of the Red Wings, but I do admire Datsuk and Lidstrom. And, I suppose (a little bit), Zetterberg, but am I the only one who doesn't think his hair is "all that"?
cat, i didn't think zetterberg's hair was all that, but when he cut it... its sooo much better i like it a lot!
