The league says no...so the smart money is probably on them moving...

Don't blink folks.
2-0 Wings with 17:19 left to play in the first...

1. Note the "Shop.Canada.NHL.com" ad on the boards in Jobing.com Arena. Is that supposed to be some kind of hint? :think:

2. Who the hell do the Coyotes think they are taking runs at Lidstrom? That man is a saint! Not a single fight in his 19 year career.

Actually, hockeyfights.com is wrong. I looked into it awhile back. It was someone else in that fight, and they mistook it for Lidstrom. I would go figure it out again, but I'm lazy. You'll just have to trust me on this.

Edit: The part that I found unbelievable was that he instigated it. That's why I looked into it.

Edit Part 2: Someone on hockeyfights.com wrote that it was actually Marc Potvin in the comments section.

Hockeyfights was wrong there, but I know I saw Lidstrom fight before.

He may have never received a major penalty in his career, but he has been in at least one fight.

Meh, I don't really count scrums. That's just self defense. I wouldn't count that for a Gordie Howe hat trick either. It's got to be one on one with punches being thrown.

Love Lidstrom. They just named a street after him in Novi where he and his family reside.

I hope he comes back to play another season.

milarso

Sweep. These late games are killing me...
And it's also pretty nice to think that the Red Wings just swept Phoenix while playing without one of their best players.
Once Zetterberg is back, the Wings will be even better for Round 2.
Go WIngs.

It's been reported that Rafalski will be announcing his retirement soon. He's been playing through pain for a while now. He had major knee and back issues. Brian had a hell of a career with the Devils and Wings, and he was a huge part of Team USA's silver medal in Vancouver. I'll miss him.

Not a great year to be looking for defensemen...from what I understand the best 2 available will be Bieksa and Erhoff in Vancouver, however, I have heard rumour that Vancouver will likely be able to resign them...unless 1 or both test the market to see if a team over pays...Salo is also available, but often injured.

smarchee

Bieksa's value is going up due to his performance in the play-offs

I like Weizenski from Montreal as a possible FA signing

Chris Osgood has retired. So the question is, do they retire Ozzie's number???

Only six banners hang (not including Vlad) in The Joe, so standards have been set very high.

He is one of only six goalies in NHL history to have over 400 career wins. I think the biggest drawback against him is that 80 of those wins were earned on another team.

Goalies

---

Wins--Cups
Martin Brodeur--625----3
Patrick Roy

---

551----4
Terry Sawchuk--447----4
Jacques Plante--437----6
Grant Fuhr

---

403----4
Chris Osgood----401----3

How say you?

MFCarissa

Absolutely not. The standard is set far too high. Ozzie is no Sawchuk. If Shanahan and Fedorov can't get their numbers retired, Ozzie should not. I think only Lidstrom will.

Lidstrom is a shoe-in.

Hank and Pavel should make it to if they keep production up over their careers.

If they ever put a statue of Pavel inside the Joe, they need to figure a way out to have the status deke itself out of your photo at the last second if you get your picture taken in front of it.

i don't know....

GAA is virtually equal and Osgood has a better win %. i don't have Terry's save numbers.

lukin2006

I say no to retiring his number and no to the hall of fame...but he'll probably get in the hall and nhl hall of fame is joke.
