Wow.... I finally get it now. You ARE Gary Bettman, aren't you? Constant trolling on Wings forums, an indescribably unnatural passionate love for Sidney Crosby... can't help but to give yourself props and praise for doing a "great job", despite every shred of evidence pointing to you doing a TERRIBLE job. Stop trolling us, Bettman. And as far as you leaving the NHL? :banana: :banana: :banana:

Ozzie get's his 400 win and retires after this year, question, is he going to the Hall of Fame? With 3 Cup rings and 400 wins, I say yes. The thing that bothers me most about losing to the Pens in 2009 is that Ozzie was robbed of a Conn Smythe.

where is that god damn minus button??? are you serious???

I personally think all of the major sports should just do away with the All-Star "game" and do a weekend full of skills competitions, with the best in each category... the games themselves suck now anyway...

Haha... Carmen as a member who knows what he's talking about... That's funny. You basically think a member who's need to be unique is so desperate that he takes pride in being a resident ****** on LGW is a credible source. Great judge of character you are, haha.

Babcock needs to do whatever is necessary to see that Ozzie gets his 400th, and he's got plenty of time to get it done. Whoever the coach would have been at this point in time, it's now a mandate. This team owes him that.

No cap works in soccer in europe

Brendan Shanahan for Commissioner: -free pony rides for all -ice girls are mandatory for every NHL team -drinking beer is encouraged between periods -shootout? what shootout? -all women in attendance must shave their underarms

Get Bettman out, put the NHL back on ESPN and all will be right in the world.

WOW, please discuss this!! Curious on everyones insight and thoughts. http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/nhl101109.html

We should sign McGrattan. I'd be willing to babysit his children for free in order for him to move to Detroit.

Holland will make them an offer sheet they can't refuse.

wingfanatic and carmen are the only two people on this board who know what they are talking about. What has Bettman really done wrong? Again, nobody cares about your opinions on rule changes and how he rolls over and doesn't stand up to owners. Not only are those thoughts incorrect, but you sound like a moron. Bettman brought hockey back --- Or don't any of you remember where it was headed before he took it oveR in 93? You guys are telling me you liked that clutch and grab bulls*** style of hockey? Anyway --- you guys are idiots

It's different and I don't hate it, but I still think it should go back to the days where every team sends 1 representative chosen by the coach and the following 10 roster spots per conference get voted in by the fans... then the fans can vote again out of the selected participants for starting 6... that's what I would like...

Isn't Dryden up for re-election to Parliment in 2012? I'm still holding onto the slim hope that he'll step out of the public sector and back into the NHL and what a better position for him, than commissioner!!! Sorry to say it, and I hate to admit it... but all professional sports leagues need a cap... they just need to fix the cap...

Like a G6.

do you like zetterberg

Hahaha this Hawks fan is hilarious. That's great man, I have to thank you because I really needed a laugh and a new sig. I've been going to Hawks games here and there since I was a kid, and let me tell you, this is a spot on description of most Hawk fans. Hey just some advice, don't forget to cut the tags off your jersey. It might arouse suspicion.

If you wish to enjoy your stay here I would stick with the former part of your post rather than the latter. Trying to dog a franchise that has won more cups in the past 10 years than yours has in its entire history is silly.

Who is we? Do you play for Chicago? Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "we took you to the WCF". Detroit and Chicago met in the series, the Hawks didn't take Detroit anywhere.

So let me get this straight... you took time out of your busy life to register at a Red Wings forum to tell us we shouldn't talk about the Chicago Blackhawks' meltdown and we are jealous? Being under .500 win percentage (8-9) is really nothing to be jealous about.

I think the better question is : Is there really anybody who doesn't want Lidstrom back next season?

Well, he's already ran Lebda out of town by staying another year, so what the hell.

I really don't want him to struggle just because of his age. But then again, he's never struggled, so he can play for as long as he wants.

If it is indeed Ozzie's last season, I bet nobody wears #30 in Detroit again for a long time, if ever.
