How Is This For A Sunday Morning

It is very unusual for any Wings news to filter in on a Sunday morning, but these are desperate times.
The Wings are talking to Larry Murphy. Not just talking but trying to get him to say yes to a comeback. The Wings plan is to have Murphy become a power play specialist and only a power play specialist.
With the latest injury to Kronwall, the Wings feel they need some help on the blueline and to save some dman minutes for 5-on-5 and PK situations, they believe Murphy could run the right point on the power play.
Hmmm, a Hall of Famer on the point! Will it work, who the heck knows.
Of course, he would have to clear waivers, at least I think he would.

Murphy is 46 and Chris Chelios is about 10 months younger, that would kill him being the oldest player playing. lol I would love to see Murphy again on the Blue Line, but I am not holding my breath.

Haha. Oh, did you hear about the NHL hiring Mickey Redmond as the new director of officiating? I’m sure he’s got a lot of ideas for improvement…

He had me going for a moment. KK’s is often my first stop right after I get my first coffee of the morning. I hadn’t figured out it was April 1st yet… that would take two cups of coffee methinks. So I’m trying to remember when Murph retired… that’s how much fog there was in my head (to fit the scene outside here in Michigan…). Fortunately someone reminded me of the date! Couldn’t you just see the grin on Paul’s face as he posted this one?

*yawn*
As if I didn’t pioneer this (and much better, I might add) several years back with the “Wings talking to Tikkanen” rumor.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I suppose.
