The Eagle may take (Red) Wing

I know Manny's career as a Red Wing is over, but oh, dear God. Not this.
Eddie Belfour in Detroit? What the H-E-double hockey sticks is going on?!
I understand the Wings are looking to put someone between the pipes until Jimmy Howard is ready to be the next starter, but Belfour is 41 years old and is coming off a back surgery.
Eddie would be an average goalie at best and likely will get more penalty minutes than Chris Chelios. Not to mention the fact his penchant for off-ice antics will make for a public-relations nightmare.
The Wings have signed Chris Osgood for two more years, but will he and Belfour battle for the starting job? Talk about the lesser of two evils.
The good news is the Red Wings don't appear to be interested in Dominick Hasek, even though his people are lobbying hard in Detroit for a deal.
I may have to start cheering for the New York (Shutter... Gulp...) Rangers.
