I heard the Wings will only play 41 games this season, that's why they have so much time between games. Apparently this is a new idea by commissioner Gary Bettman to try and create more "parity" throughout the league.

The Devils are playing like hell. Haha, I made a funny

after the wings and sharks playoff series nothing suprises me anymore. The Officiating is so bad in the nhl its not even funny

Maybe they were a lenient on them since the decisions are made in Toronto haha.

I'm not an old-timer, I'm 28. Being born in the Reagan administration doesn't qualify one as being an "old-timer"....unless you're someone who hasn't hit puberty yet.

Very true. Factors involved: a) Failure to consume first morning coffee before posting. b) Natural infuriating reaction to seeing the name 'Richard' causing mental lapses.

He's absolutely correct. The obvious difference between today's game and Richard's generation is the extra safety equipment. Players these days feel they can throw the elbow because the other guy has a helmet on or get their stick up high because the other guy is wearing a shield. The extra equipment gives today's players the feeling that they can go out and just plain wreck the other guy. As far as the hits from behind, it needs harsher enforcement of the rules. Some players think they are just finishing their check but that's just a poor excuse.

i can't wait til some wings hockey tomorrow night

If that were to happen, that'd be a positive thing. Someone who gives up that easily is not required for a Stanley Cup run. Passion, commitment and sacrifice are required and a prima donna who quits that easy has none of that.

I are hate Wings. Obnoxious Detroit buys Modano when him cleerly wanted to stay at other home Dallas. Detroit buys Cup's (sic) to be arrogant. They only ever winned 11 cup's despite their best friend Gary Beetman giving them four while not promoting true NHL Stars like Sidney Crosby and Mark Fistric. Gary Beetman holds back the others great teams by giving the Dead Wings all the calls. I hate Detroit fans because they are mean winners. They should be quiet and let real fans like in Dallas be heard. "I tried to capture the spirit of the thing." --Dickie Dunn

If anyone ever wants to see Homer laugh and cry at the same time, try showing him a video of that Orr "goal".

...The...f***?

You act like you are reading his mind when he set up these lines. It looks to me like he just put the 6 best players in the top 6. It's up to Hudler/Cleary/Modano to produce, they aren't going to get a promotion for being awful...

How much noise can 100 people make?

I want Homer to skate up to Bryzgalov tomorrow night, look like he's about to knock him over just like Orr, and then gently tap Bryz on the shoulder. The resulting goalie interference penalty will give us all the proof we need. Muah ha ha.

Yeah, because I hate all tough players. I simply hate Chris Pronger because he is a cheapshotting *******. In all honesty the only reason I seem to be so negative towards "tough guys" is because I have to point out the delusion posters like you have that having a "tough game" automatically makes you better than another guy. Colby Armstrong does not become good simply because you misconstrued his undisciplined play for "sandpaper aggressiveness that this team needs."

I don't know whats worse - Chicago repeating or Kane being in your kitchen. Did he mug you for a cookie or something?

If you go to the Freeps website, they've got 3 sets of extracts there. http://www.freep.com/article/20101024/SPORTS05/10240598/1355/Bob-Probert-I-always-seemed-to-take-it-to-the-next-level-you-know-what-I-mean? Quite frankly, I'm disapointed with what I've read. Very similar to the autobiography of another high-profile sporting legend that I read (George Best ). Full of excuses and self-justification for his destructive, selfish behaviour. I know thats going to be very unpopular and I'm going to be flamed to hell and back for it because he's such a hero to many on here, and a tragically dead hero at that, but there it is. He comes across as totally unapologetic for his off-ice behaviour, and clearly bore chips on his shoulder right to the end towards Demers & the players who despaired at his lack of proffesionalism. I mean, how dare his team-mates get upset that he was out drinking & clubbing during the '89 conference finals.... OK folks, flame away.

Pronger and his drama filled, atomic elbowing, contract can stay the hell away from this team.

Case by case basis. WAY too many variables to actually make a descision either way. I don't care who you are, unless you have played both sports in a pro setting, your anecdotal evidence is useless and biased. Football has a lot of weak wrap up hits, but not every hockey hit, is a Kronwall meets Havlat, and us as wing's fans should know that better than anyone. I'm sorry, but you either flat out just made that up or are at the very least misconstruing the point made by generalizing them as "13 year old players" vs "college football players", thus missing the whole point. Something like that may have been studied, but without seeing the size of the said "13 year olds" and the type of collision the "college football players" are throwing, what you posted is essentially useless fan talk. I'm sure a good tripple a 13 year old player can board a guy harder than a defensive linemen can wrap up a quarterback, but there is absoloutly no way that the hardest hits the average 13 year old throws is equal to that of a safetey smoking an unsuspecting reciever. Of saftey's and corner's maybe. Of the 6'1 250 sub-10% bodyfat of Ray Lewis no ******* way. Considering it was either completely fabricated or grossly misconstrued, I can see why. 30 MPH? Really? For an average hit?
