Red Wings

[Malto Marko]

......so I was thinking.

The players now are bigger, stronger and faster just like the leap in the NFL.

When Keith Premieu came to the Wings, he was supposed to be the next Superman in the league.

He never got beyond the soup part of the tag.

Where is he and what is he doing? (If anyone knows)

According to Wikipedia:

He is currently the Special Assistant to the General Manager and Director of Player Development of the Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL, Assistant Hockey Coach at Bishop Eustace Preparatory School, and the owner of a franchise of Bain's Deli in Philadelphia, PA.

He had more success with Philly than us.

Yep. The Wings should've drafted Jagr. We had Yzerman and Fedorov, we didn't need another 1st round center. We did need wingers.

Can you imagine if we had drafted Jagr?

Thanks, Frank.

I suspect he is more successful in the Deli franchise than he will be a paid advisor in hockey.

He came through a time when helmet choice was optional and they absolutely refused to wear any type of protection on their face. The players have learned protective equipment can extend their career.

This sport is way behind all the other when it comes to protecting the players and even worse, the players do not want to wear protective equipment to protect them.

Nope. I can't imagine that at all. Fedorov left because he wanted to be "the man" on the team. If they drafted Jagr.......he would have left under more contentious issues.

Federovs best numbers came with playing with the Wings. When he left, he was not longer the player he was.

Jagr as a young player would have had problems with ice time.

Jagr would've probably played on Fedorov's line. Primeau was a center, the same position as Fedorov. There wouldn't have been an ice-time issue with Jagr because they played different positions.

The wings were a little shy of Czechs after Petr Klima too

Re: Red Wings

1-1 now.

[Panoptes]

Why do I hate the NBC announcers blather so?

[chemiclord]

Well, so how about that Smith guy?

MUCH better showing through 40 minutes of Game 2.

[Panoptes]

Score DET

[chemiclord]

It's not just score.

In Game 1, Chicago pretty much played keep away. They controlled the action from whistle to whistle, dominated the play from start to finish.

So far, it's been much more even in time of possession and pushing the action.

Now, the question is however, will they keep this up in the 3rd, which has been their heel all season long.
