Larry Murphy was a Penguin. Luc Robitaille was a Penguin. Should we hate those guys too?

I'll take Ethan Moreau on this team, I don't tihnk he has a cup(?), very physical, warrior type player and could be the perfect Dallas Drake for next season.

I think you getting bored is definitely the first thing Kenny thinks before drafting a player.

Hate the guy, but he would easily be one of my favorites if he played for the Wings.

What happened to Cheechoo? Thornton made him about 40 goals better than he really was...

Just further proof how insecure the Hawks "fans" are about their team...still. Pretty pathetic when your team just won their first Cup since the 60's and all you seem to care about is how Wings fans feel about it.

What do you think about making a pitch for Afinogenov? I don't think he will command to much money. I think he'd be a solid pick up for the Redwings 3rd line. Maybe see some 2nd line minutes if he proves he can play and step his game up (after recent slumps with Buffalo and Atlanta). A one-two year deal wouldn't be so mad in my opinion. What do you guys and gals all think about this? Link: http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/atl100614.html

I dont think that by rejecting the Thrashers offer that it necessarily means he wants a lot of money. He simply wants the hell out of Atlanta (see Kovalchuk for example)

HAHA ok Pronger may be one of the most hated players ever but he is so damn entertaining and he has some actual wit. The minors comment is great. Although Burrish will probably find a place somewhere.

I guess it depends on your definition of shake up. I believe Ken is the kind of GM who would never move one of his players once he has identified them as part of his core. Cleary doesn't fall into that group, but Flip and Kronwall certainly do. Even if he ever does decide to make some moves, I doubt it would happen next year. Lidstrom will most likely retire, and whoever he brings in as his replacement will be all the shaking we will see for a while. Speaking of which, Weber, Doughty, Seabrook, Johnson, Schenn and Yandle will all be RFAs next year, and Markov and Chara will be UFAs. If Kenny were to pull off one of those promising RFAs with an offer sheet, I think that would be one of the most impressive things he has accomplished in his time as GM.

I don't know how ppl can say this is a bad move. The leafs have been captainless ever since Sundin left and it seems like there is absolutely noone taking leadership in that room. Phaneuf is a young guy who has a norris nomination to his name, will lay his body on the line to win, sticks up for his teammates, and has the potential to be one of the better defenseman of his era. He might be overhyped, but he is still a good player, people on this site refuse to acknowledge that for some reason because they don't like him. Noone knows how he is in the room so maybe he is a leader in the room as well. Good choice by the leafs to finally name a captain.

Cheechoo fell apart after he didnt have Thornton feeding him passes.

Heck, with Huds back in the lineup, we could get rid of Datsyuk and Franzen and still be overwhelming favorites to win the Cup. What's he good for these days, 300 points? 350 if he plays a full 82, I bet.

Hossa had never owned anyone's ass. That's why he was with 4 clubs in just over 2 years. I don't need to search for reasons to dislike him - he's provided enough. Moving from team to team to cherry pick a Stanley Cup. I'm a Red Wings fan and he was a big part of costing us one - Red Wings trump any positive feelings i ever had for Hossa. Enough anyways. He's gone thankfully and Chicago will be looking for a way to trade him in a few years...

1. He scored 3 goals in the first three series of the postseason (before spraining his MCL). 2. He scored 24 goals in 57 games for the Hawks after his surgery. Lingering effects my ass. Call a spade a spade, guys.

Regardless of anything, Im glad we didnt spend 5million on an injury prone role player in the playoffs.

The sound is terrible!

I want to break every vuvuzela ever made.

Talk about excuse making. 1. He scored 3 goals in the first three series of the postseason (before spraining his MCL). 2. He scored 24 goals in 57 games for the Hawks after his surgery. Lingering effects my ass.

DISCUSSION board.

Not to be argumentative but I don't think that Pronger has much higher education under his belt. Either way the guy is better on his toes with media responses than Burish is apparently... http://watch.tsn.ca/nhl/clip312491#clip312491 I like Pronger a teensy bit more after those quips.

Detroit Stanley Cups : 11 Chicago Stanley Cups : 4 Detroit Conference Championships: 6 Chicago Conference Championships: 2 Detroit Division Championships: 18 Chicago Division Championships: 14 They can sing all-their-life long! When Detroit wins (often) we sing Go Detroit Go When Chicago wins (rarely) they sing Sucks Detroit Sucks...where is the difference? We are HOCKEY FANS They are FRUSTRATED people.... We are HOCKEYTOWN,the rest are NOTHING!

Let me get this straight... 1) I say the factual statement that Burish is a scrub compared to Pronger, and would most probably lose in a fight against him, despite Burris's bravado. 2) You call me out and accuse me of hypocrisy through means of sarcasm 3) I respond that if we can't critique players, there is no point to this forum, as we are doing exactly what you previously chastised. That's how I see it, if I'm somehow missing something please take the time to elaborate, instead of making another account as a sockpuppet to argue this fact. There is a reason why you have a resounding -6 on your post, without me even negging it.

Q: Say, Adam Burish, I see your team has just won the Stanley Cup. Where are you going next? A: Some other team next season!

You killed him... Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?
