Love, love, love Ovechkin and its more than just who scores more ..blah blah blah. The type of goals impress me just as much. Ovies goal are often mind-blowing highlight reel goals that entertain and amaze! He is so fun to watch and so good for the game.

Evander Kane just broke into my top 3 favorite players now. Great stuff! :edit ok no one can point to my reputation and say I'm a troll when I have posts like this marked down haha. Thanks for the attention though

I think we can all add Evander Kane to our lists

I'm just not a fan of giving the Hart to a goalie unless he just has close to a record year. Miller deserves the Vezina, but I don't think he's been dominate enough to win a Hart like Hasek was.

Evander Kane just moved to the top of my Xmas card list. Anyone have his address?

Huge!

Which is likely why that ***** Cooke dropped the gloves in the first place. Make it even funnier.

The irony is that his dad is a boxer, and named him Evander after Holyfield. I like this kid even more now, not only for standing up to that spot-picking cheapshot artist, but also for giving him a taste of the Marc Savard went through. You can run, but you can't hide from karma.

Evander "Holyfield" Kane. Love it.

f*** yeah!!! f*** that piece of s*** up! Way to go Evander Kane. He just went up a bunch of notches in my book.

Beautiful! f*** you Cooke.

Canuck fan here. I want to commend the posters in this thread for not lowering themselves as to dis our city in retaliation. Alex Burrows is quite often an embarassment to Canuck fans and this is one of those times. We just wish he would STFU and do what he is good at. With his work ethic he should be an admired player in the NHL. Instead he acts like a little tool diving and whining all over the place. If he concentrated on just the game he would be better for it as a player and a person. I won't bother apologizing for him but I will tell you that any Canuck fan that says they are happy with getting the Wings in the 1st round are lying or heavily medicated. I'ld much rather meet you in the final or better yet not at all. If Luongo doesn't get his s*** together I think we're done in 5 or 6. If he miraculously finds his game, I like our chances. So here's to a great series and better yet here's to you guys getting 5th.

Its not even physical punishment that he needs. He shouldn't be allowed to skate on NHL ice, hes dirty, cheap and has no respect for other players. Scum.

Now I'm not trying to start an argument or anything but I would like to see what posters on here who are praising Kane for this were saying in the "should fighting be banned" threads. This is a fight just like the ones where a guy got KO'ed and posters were saying fighting should be banned. I wonder if those same people are in here praising Kane now hmmm..

That was amazing. Get this kid in a wings jersey kenny

2nd best KO i have seen, mainly because it was cooke

THE REAL DEAL

Okay everyone listen up. We've iced from GREAT teams over the years and have since about 1999 been projected to "fall off". Too old, too soft, too slow they said. Shanahan left, Fedorov left, we lost guys like Konstantinov, and Captain Steve Yzerman. Yet somehow we've managed to not only stay competitive, but WIN too. How have we done this? Because the cold hard fact is that Niklas Lidstrom has been Detroit's MVP, above ALL the other guys, including Steve Yzerman. Lidstrom's game makes every player from the goalie behind him, to his defensive partner, to all 3 forwards better and easier. Now we were good enough a number of years to win the cups we did. Would we have won 4 in 10 seasons? Nope. Not without Nik. Bobby Orr Niklas Lidstrom Doug Harvery IMO.

Green plays on an all offense, run and gun style team. I would rather have a defenseman that puts up points like Lids and Rafalski. Not rushing all the time, just make good paasses move as a unit into the offensive zone. Green is a 4th forward not a defenseman. He's always rushing and getting caught. How often have you seen a 30 goal scoring defenseman get cut from an olympic team? He's got serious defensive problems. I wouldn't complain if we had a guy like that, but a Rafalski type point getter would be much better. I like the physical Rafalski comparison but I see him being better defensively since he's like 6'2 or something and won't get out muscled nearly as much.

You see 15-3-2 I see loss against edmonton, blowout loss to nucks 6-3, couldn't defend a 4goal lead against edmonton, buzzbeaters (yeah that's luck too), kicking motion goal, highstick goal, sloppy game against nashville, sloppy 3-2 win against columbus (players admitted themselves) The record could have been much worse and for this team to go far in the playoffs they just gotta be better... can't wait until wedenesday/thursday and see if they are up for the task to tighten up on defense and EXECUTE on offense.

THANK YOU! I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees this.

No, and now they get back Samuelsson from injury.. they are a scary good team.
