I'm sorry but its posts like these that make me think Filppula is majorly overrated on these boards. Considering that at Filppula's age, Hossa was comparable on defense and already a consistent point per game producer who was notching 30 + goals, I really doubt Filppula will accelerate into a top 20 forward in the league, and even in the astronomically low percentage chance that it does happen, it would be anything but easy. I understand obvious nationalistic bias, but for one would be shocked if Filppula ever consistently broke 70 points for more than a 3 year span, though his recent good play has made me have faith in his ability to be a great 2nd line defensive center capable of 65+ points. Kinda like a Saku Koivu/Brendan Morrison in their primes.

I'd say the potential thing is correct - although that assumes he keeps improving. Whether he will be better than Hossa in a few years is hard to say since Hossa is a damn good player. This year Hossa would probably do the Wings more good since they have been lacking mightily in scoring, and Fil still has not developed a great scoring touch.

How 'bout we make the playoffs first. After that I don't care.

The problem is that the same people who come in to these threads are the same people who ***** about seeing to much Crosby in the media. It may be just about equipment but people use threads like these to come in and bash a guy who they don`t like because he gets to much attention. How ironic is that? People can feel free to bash him but to bash him about getting to much attention while you give him even more attention is just funny to me. Pat on the back to all the hypocrites. You sure keep me laughing. Just to get the record straight I'm not talking about everybody who posts in these threads or everybody who dislikes Crosby. As a matter of fact, every time I wander in to these threads and see a post by Edi it gives me a chuckle because they are funny no matter how much he dislikes the guy. There are some people however who just beat the Crosby attention issue to death.

Can Holland finally get some praise for giving Howard a chance rather than keeping Conklin?

Big E may be struggling, but he doesn't take any s*** from douches around our net, and there will probably be a lot of that against the Flames. esteef

Well, they are now

The NHL would suspend Ovechkin AGAIN before suspending Cooke.

This is a really tough call... any of the big three we might meet (SJ, Chicago or Vancouver) is capable of knocking the Wings out, but all are inexperienced at winning in the playoffs. I don't want to pick my poison but SJ is as likely to fail as anyone else (based on their previous play).

Also I'm not sure what to think about the new "Reputation" feature. It will point out anytime when a clear majority of people disagree with something but just because an opinion isn't popular doesn't mean it's wrong. I guess I look forward to seeing users abuse that stat in the near future. "My reputation points speak for themselves and bla bla bla..."

Is it really necessary to dig through posts that were made when we were playing awful just to call out people?

<----Lefty as well, Southpaw's kick a**! And I am actually watching game 7 of the ALCS right now, the only time of year that I will watch baseball in-depth. The person below me likes to spin around in a circle really fast and get dizzy.
