After what they did to Joey Mac. I hope the Karma gods are all over the Wings this year..

Do not (frank) with the Karma gods.. That's for you Kenny..

May a thousand nasty, bloated and sick crows; take a giant crap on your Wife's Benz. Every day till the seasons end..

The guy quietly and politely asked to be traded somewhere we he will be used, and Kenny looks like he's going to do his best to accommodate that request. Even if he gets absolutely nothing in return (which he won't, because honestly there is no trade market for Joey MacDonald).

You might think Joey deserved a shot at the backup spot, and you might well be right. Actually, I think you are right, despite MacDonald's back issues, considering I am not high on Gustavsson. But I think your characterization of this as a "back stabbing" is a little ... overly dramatic, and I daresay you may not be being entirely objective here.

I wasn't all that happy when Osgood was sent packing the first time. He had done nothing to deserve getting fired and had always been a loyal soldier. But hey, acquiring Hasek improved the team. That's how these things work.

Somehow, I don't think even Joey himself is taking this nearly as hard as you are.

BOTH headed to Minny. Wow. I honestly didn't think Minny was a real threat. Proved me wrong. Well, we're pretty much all in with the "Matt Carle Sweeps". We are screwed unless Holland can pull off a massive trade for a top end D man. Bet we end up with Semin and Carle.

They pulled a LeBraun, I don't like the players having that much control..Tail wagging the dog.

And, do you really want Semin,, Really?

I'm fine with wine, but my palette is not discriminating enough to tell the good stuff from the $7 stuff.

No, I don't. That's not what I was saying. Was saying that's what I THINK will happen.

I want Semin. Because he's a good player who wouldn't generate even 1/10 the hate he does now if he were Canadian. And because the Red Wings will need to stock up on good forwards if they want to trade for help on defense.

Talented and Good are two totally different things, when it comes to Semin. If you can't bring your A game on a nightly basis, you will not be a Wing for long. Smein could not carry Nic's gear bag. He does not belong anywhere near this fabled team.
And I am not even a Wings fan..
