We had an enforcer in our line-up that game.

Please copy and paste the relevant text. I refuse to click on the link and give that page any hits if it has to do with Eklund.

Watch Zetters and Dats at 1:11 When I first saw this I thought the glass was reflecting oddly or something.

There is nothing tough about sitting in a box for 5 minutes, sorry. I'd rather have someone out there hitting.

OK that's it - I thought that your previous post was "poor" but this one is just WOW...

Downey really did a good job of preventing Brook Orpik from taking liberties that night, didn't he?

You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. The trade looks as good today as it did the day it happened. You should have used the time that Kenny has given you to come to grips with the painfully obvious fact that we weren't going to be able to keep everyone. But, then again, he may clear waivers. How about we not judge Modano after only a handful of preseason shifts. He's not here to be dominant. He's not here to be a leader. He's not expected to be the face of the franchise. He's just here to play third line center. Seriously, enjoy the luxury of having so much depth that we can afford to part with a decent prospect.

Good we don't need a useless plug on the 4th line. There is no room for a one dimensional enforcer in today's game, especially on the Red Wings. Our powerplay is our enforcer.

Downey is a class act, what a great guy. hard worker, tough as nails, always willing to help teammates. Good luck Downey wish you the best!

Detroit 4th?

FYI, I work in tech support for Gamecenter Live, feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Here is a link to the Gamecenter Live FAQs for those interested, new features for this season are home and away video, the ability to stream directly to your PS3, Roku, or Boxee. NHL Vault (archives and classic games, included with GCL subscription) will be available on Sony Bravia Blu-Ray players and the iPad. Also, for those making mention of hockeystreams.net, don't be surprised if that site gets shut down if it hasn't already been, the NHL is severly cracking down on unauthorized streaming sites charging money for hockey, (don't worry, I haven't told them about Drumnj, he doesn't charge)

/facepalm Whatever dude. unmetered bandwidth server packages start at $150 - $395 per month. Hockeystreams is somewhere in the middle. Do you tell a mechanic how to fix your vehicle when you take it into the shop for repairs? Online business is my career, and I am proud to say that I do it legally. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

And how many of those teams that won 4 stanley cups had an enforcer on them? I'll give you a hint, it starts with f and ends with our

Playoff games are on Versus and NBC. Neither Center Ice or gamecenter will have it.

The zetterberg shoulder injury would not have happend if the wings had a respectable physical player that could fight. Öhlund wouldn't have hit him that hard in that vunerable position if he knew he would get his ass kicked afterwards. And Laraque wouldn't have stretched his leg out for the obvious dangerous play either, he knew he would get away with it.. he got a minor suspension that's all.

I sense some sarcasm here...

Yeah and Konstantinov wasn't a motivation in 98 either, they just wanted to win the cup to begin with A 39 year old throwing his body on the line and doing anything to win his first cup would be a pretty big motivation I'm sure, do you think before you type?

Welcome to another year of cheapshots on Franzen, Datsyuk, and Zetterberg. The Brooks Orpik hit is only the beginning of what we're gonna see.

What a pisser.

Eh, I can't say I like it. Miller is as good as he will ever be, which, really isn't THAT good. We already have a ton of players who do exactly what he deos; Eaves, Helm, Abby, Draper. I'll be honest, I have never seen much of Ritola, but my understanding is that his upside and potential is way higher than Miller's ever will be. I also thought that he was have a strong, hard working preseason. Oh well.

O.K. I have to ask this. Are you Patrick Sharp by any chance?

I bet you cried the day that they took the negative option away from the ratings. Such posts as yours cry for that sort of attention, and now we find ourselves with little recourse other than to either ignore you or actually waste bandwidth in responding. I'll throw the bone today because I'm bored. Lilja will be missed. I'm not saying Salei won't do a good job; I'm sure he will. But rest assured, Lilja will be missed by many. Thanks for reminding us that you're still with us.

The whole idea of a cap is ridiculous in the first place. A luxury tax would be better than what we currently have, but it's not a solution. Basically, teams should be able to spend what ever they want. Big market teams should not be penalized because hockey is a big deal in their cities. If a team has a rabid fan base, and can dish out tens of millions more than their competition then they should be able to do so.

learn capitalism: tax can not improve anything. luxury tax promotes socialism, taxes take money from the ones who earned them and give them to the ones who didn't.
