Just saw this posted on the Red Wings website. Vyacheslav Fetisov, Igor Larionov, Sergei Fedorov, and Vladimir Konstantinov have all signed on to participate in the alumni game at the Winter Classic.

Hmm, apparently the Red Wings are in talks with Calgary about Jay Bouwmeester:
http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index....calgary_f.htmlA team source confirmed the Red Wings are talking with the Calgary Flames about making a deal for veteran defenseman Jay Bouwmeester, who has been the subject of trade rumors for more than a month.
Also a couple more notes...Jarnkrok is returning to the SEL and Pulkkinen is going to the Finnish League.
I don't know how many of you have already seen this on twitter, but I thought I'd post this for anybody who hasn't. I love it...

@LAKings awwww so cute. Like a little puppy yapping for attention. Let us know if you need someone to show you how to hang that banner.
About time the other teams start using their Twitter feeds like the Kings have been doing for a while I love it when a little bit of personality is allowed to be shown in hockey. I miss Roenick and Hull.
GO WINGS!
Thinking about the potential lockout?
Just sit back and enjoy some Pavel Datsyuk highlights to take your mind off it.

We need more. Here's 14 minutes of Datsyuk's poetry in motion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwxrBnIr0bg

After Strickland tweeted that, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press tweeted that the Wings are still just talking to him. Nothing is set in stone yet. She also posted this.

How do you guys think Colaiacovo's singing affects Brendan Smith's production this year?

I think he acts more like a safety valve for Smith. If Smith doesn't produce early then I think CC will be given some more PP time until the former can 'work things out'. I still really wouldn't be worried because compared to who they were going after.....Carlo isn't much of a threat.
