Title: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: captain_nintendo on July 05, 2006, 10:00:42 AM Yzerman retires (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=AgvFBxYqaF5HvWp.qFNSszh7vLYF?slug=ap-redwings-yzerman&prov=ap&type=lgns)
Who will be the next captain? Edit: Shanahan leaves (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=Auyc82UgNB9qqaQB0lzMDDh7vLYF?slug=ap-rangers-shanahan&prov=ap&type=lgns) Title: Re: Yzerman retires Post by: Sauza12 on July 05, 2006, 10:59:45 AM It's probably between Lidstrom and Chelios, but I would guess it's going to be Lidstrom. After that I wouldn't be suprised if they named Henrik Zetterberg the captain.

Chelios needs to retire. Hell after watching 10 minutes of one of their playoff games it looked like half teh team needs to retire. Title: Re: Yzerman retires Post by: Sauza12 on July 07, 2006, 09:11:11 AM On top of that, it look slike the Wings are going to sign Ed Belfour. Nice move. ::)

Title: Re: Yzerman retires Post by: phoenix1967 on July 07, 2006, 12:50:03 PM It's true. Belfour was in for a physical. He's not signed, but I'd like to know what Ken Holland's been smoking by even considering a 41 y/o goalie...
I think that Lidstrom or Draper would be the best candidates for captain. Chelios' name has also been talked about on sportsradio here as an option; but that would suck if he got it. Title: Re: Yzerman retires Post by: Tynstar on July 07, 2006, 01:30:22 PM Chelios needs to go. Toooooo sloooooooowowwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
And Belfour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The team needs to get younger not older. WTF. Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: captain_nintendo on July 10, 2006, 08:28:21 AM Bump* Shanahan leaves.
And Belfour did have a pretty good season last year. Of course he was injured alot at the end :hmm: Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: Tynstar on July 10, 2006, 10:24:25 AM I thought Shanahan had a good season? Oh well they need to get younger and faster.
Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: phoenix1967 on July 10, 2006, 02:58:27 PM Agreed. I just hope that they don't sign Belfour or Hasek as rumored. They should give the young goaltenders a try.
Shanahan did have a strong season, but with his age, he's not worth $4M to the Red Wings. Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: den68 on July 10, 2006, 04:00:01 PM I almost choked wheb I heard Hasek's name mentioned today. PLEASE NO! Belfour is too old too but the Wings are looking for an experienced stop gap till Jimmie Howard is ready.
I was not surprised to see Shanny go though I thought it might be to the Bruins to play for Dave Lewis again. Lidstrom will be the next Captain. I knew the day would come but it won't be the Wings without Stevie Y. The Captain has been the heart of the team for as long as I can remember. I was a sophomore in high school his rookie year. I don't recall much pre Yzerman Red Wing hockey. damn I'll miss him. Yzerman was a hockey god!

You said " Yzerman was a hockey god!" that wrong. It should of read Yzerman IS a hockey God. Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: den68 on July 11, 2006, 03:46:18 PM Wings fans were definately spoiled to be able to have him his entire career, and such a long one at that. The way players move from team to team it's unusual to see a player stay with a team so long.
hell even Gretzky as great as he was played for 4 teams. and the other guy synonymous with Detroit hockey, Gordie Howe ended his career as a Hartford Whaler. Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: shaggy on July 25, 2006, 06:12:57 AM :speechless: Surprise, surprise!
Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: Sauza12 on August 04, 2006, 09:03:20 AM And August bump
So we have Hasek again...... OK. I guess it was decided that would be better than giving Jimmy Howard a shot. Fucking brain surgeons. Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: captain_nintendo on August 04, 2006, 09:40:38 AM Hopefully Osgood is the starter.
Of course before Hasek's injuries last year he was doing pretty good IMO. Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: Tynstar on August 04, 2006, 10:20:49 AM Fuck the Wings
Title: Re: Yzerman retires / Shanahan leaves Post by: den68 on August 05, 2006, 06:10:22 AM I'm baffled by the Hasek signing. Mr. Groin Pull is back to collect more money for little work.
