Neither am I, but I think if Downey is improved somewhat he would make a perfect 13th forward because there is going to be injuries and 50 games from Downey wouldnt be bad if you ask me.

Makes a lot of sense for the Sharks given their current D-Corps

Well, that sucks.

Oh, this mindset is EXACTLY one of the things that is wrong with the world. Entitlement bull-crap society that we live in where so many think they don't have to work hard. So sick of people rewarding mediocrity and laziness. Even if it was unfair - life is unfair. People want to blame someone for everything, instead of just pointing the finger at themselves OR realizing that sometimes crap happens and deal with it.

I hope the "settlement" is something along the lines of "The boys' coaches next year agree to be more caring and involved, and to provide positive, esteem-enhancing feedback. In return, the boys will enroll in figure skating and will not steal the girls' costumes for their own use, even if the panties are prettier."

One of the great calls in Redwings history

If Holland can somehow land this guy in the Griffins it would be monumental for the development of our prospects down there (not to mention the best "depth" signing all year).

It was a head on hit behind the net where Drake had a lot of steam and just leveled Lebda. I do believe he visited him in the hospital though that night. Just goes to show, Drake is awesome. esteef

How about getting rid of the shootout, and going back to ties and no points for an OT loss? Time to eliminate this Mickey Mouse system altogether. I'm tired of seeing everyone's record being distorted by shootout wins and losses.

Hey, if Satan sold big, no reason why Hymen can't. It's not like the poor kid was named Pansy or ***** or something like that.

I don't think you are going to see him doing any enforcing. One nasty hit, and his career could be over.

Blame Dr. Spock, and his books that everyone followed like it was the holy bible of child rearing. When I played baseball when I was little, my parents would actually watch the games, see what I was doing right and wrong, and then we'd go in the backyard and work on skills. Now everyone thinks their kid is the greatest at everything, and if coach benches a kid the parents yell at coach instead of working on whatever skills their kid needs to improve in order to play. In junior high, I tried out for the basketball team. Quite frankly, I sucked, and didn't get picked. I didn't cry, my parents didn't sue. They always taught me to try hard at everything in life; sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I eventually found a sport I was good at, cross-country and track & field, and I worked hard to get good. The hard work paid off and I got a great sense of satisfaction from it. I can't imagine I'd get the same feeling if I got something without trying. I hate this false sense of entitlement a lot of people younger than me have (and some the same age as me). Its like some parents are so worried about trashing a kid's self esteem that they put them on this false pedestal, and they pay for it later in life because they're not ready for the real world. Very sad.

A great new rule would be to allow coaches to challenge at least 1 call per game. The bulls*** level on some of these calls has reached a ridiculous level, especially after last year.

Nearly all of those seemed like they would make no positive impact on the game. Some of them just seem wacky. The whole OT thing just seems bizarre, and I think our OT is already messed up as it is. How would it benefit anyone to start at a whistle as opposed to a puck drop. As many others have stated, none of this does a lick of good with the officiating being so bad when it matters most.

Oh, Jeez. Now you've done it. HR40 is going to show up now, feeling all entitled and jealous because you used that word on these, her boards. She is, after all, the Goddess of Whores. (seriously. i miss her around here. and some others that are absent. come back, rabs) OT....George Carlin got it right. 2 professional parents scheduling appointments with the daycare (which means that someone else is raising your kids...helllllo) This is not about the kids skill or lack of it. It's about those parents with their panties in a knot because of all that precious scheduled time was wasted on a kid that may not even have wanted to be there. Maybe they didn't suck at hockey. They just think their parents suck?

Uhh no its not. The call is from the Douchnozzle avs broadcast.

I love what Ciccarelli said after that game when Draper got hit from behind. That is one of the quotes I will never ever forget, however that was Dino's last game as a Wing! I really wish he would have been on the 97 team, I always liked him and he was a fan fav!!

He should be paid no less money around the NHL than Lebda is currently set to make.

To those worried about the relationship, This article gives a different impression: http://www.montrealg...8471/story.html I think he was just a little tired of being asked about the hit.

It is impossible to not root for a guy like Stevie. esteef

He has got offers from the KHL as well... can't see how the family could cope with that though.

Downey Maltby and poss lilja ? damn cant wait for the griffs to start

Didn't Drake once send Lebda to the hospital, or was that just a best-case scenario I thought up once? If so, it didn't ruin their chances of winning a Cup together.

Wow, this is a great example of the entitlement society. Because he tried he should be guaranteed a spot. Wow.
