there hasn't been a good all-star jersey since '04.

Just admit you're anti-enforcer already, and then everyone will drop the subject. About as big a secret as Elton John being ***.

Well its funny, theres 2 of us in this thread that think you would say something like that. Hmm maybe you dont realize how you come across when you post or something? And yeah I know thats clever, way better then your gold star schtick eh

Youve said plenty that makes you come across that way. I didn't start posting here yesterday, dont try to pull the old "I have never said that in this thread, show me my post" crap. You've always posted things that imply you think like that, even if you haven't came right out and said it. You win a grammy for this performance youre trying to put on right here, and thats better then my gold star

Which is a ridiculous price. I can't afford $250 for a jersey, does that mean I'm not entitled to wear the winged wheel? I don't. If you can afford it, be my guest. You'll never hear me complain until someone thinks they are better than me because they can afford 'authentic' gear. Huh? Of course the price matters. Why wouldn't it? Ya, so is smoking pot and driving over the posted speed limit. What should be illegal is charging $250 for a $5 article of clothing. Or spending that much on said article of clothing. Just because something is illegal doesn't make it...ahh f*** it.

and acts like a dick!

You know, Eva, your flagrant bias has become even more bizarre this season. Apparently you're ignoring the fact that Howard is currently 22-7 and leads the NHL in wins. We know you love Osgood. We know you love Hudler. Unfortunately, we also know that you often lose touch with reality when it comes to discussing them.

But he looks like a penis.

I like the idea of going scaled back, but think they could have gone even a little further. I don't need the crap under the arms and on the sides. I always have liked the old ones best. Will they all have numbers on the chest?

I honestly half-expected to see the Pittsburgh logo on there, or at least the colors. Meh, not the best jerseys, pretty generic.

Pierre knows his hockey. I think he could make a good GM (srs).

The funny thing is these people are pro-enforcer slappies who seem to carry the idea that either you are with the idea of having an enforcer or you are against enforcers (also I am so shocked you didn't address the post on page one that shows I didn't even make any type of assertion close to what you are accusing me of). Not my fault you guys can't read.

Nice to know the league honors something about the Red Wings. I think it's mainly OK for Z not to be there, so Crosby won't have any competition for the limelight, but that's just me. I am glad he's not going, nor Datsyuk. I wish Nick wasn't, either.

Zetterberg was 3 points behind Datsyuk at the end of the night the last game Datsyuk played. 12-24-36 in 33 games for Z against 12-27-39 for Dats. Since Dats went down, Z has scored 4-9-13 in 10 games, which projects to 13-30-43 over 33 games. Z has been making great offensive plays all season, no matter who he's with, no matter the situation. People were saying his scoring would drop without Datsyuk; instead it's increased by 20%. Z is Datsyuk's equal offensively, and better defensively. It's like the Yzerman/Fedorov situation. If the Wings never drafted Fedorov, Yzerman would have kept on scoring 100 points, even with an improved defensive game. Why? Because it would have been necessary for him to drive the offensive engine. In the 90s, the offense was shifted to Fedorov as the primary force. Yzerman was the secondary offensive force, and was used as a skilled matchup center in much the same fashion that Z is used by the Wings when the twins are split, or how Flip has been used this season. It took away from his offensive performance but his top-end skill, experience, and clutch play led to more wins for the team. Realistically the best two-way player is Lidstrom, but this thread is really about forwards, so he doesn't really apply.

I really don't, and since you aren't going to prove it anyway, you might as well stop here with the accusations that won't go anywhere. In fact, the only post I had in this thread before the one you originally responded to was on page one or two. Go ahead and have a read. How clever.

Do you watch Leaf games? Im not trying to be insulting but seriously, Phaneuf is far from the player he was when he first burst into the NHL. He constantly gets beat to the net in his defensive zone, he struggles to move the puck up the ice at times, he can't hit the net to save his life, and he struggles to make decisisions with and without the puck throughout the game. Plus, at $6.5M/yr for another 3 seasons after this season he is grossly overpaid. Take a look at his stat line this season: 2010-2011 Toronto Maple Leafs NHL GP 25 G 1 A 6 P 7 PMS 38

Pretty much sums it all up. (3 times I have used this pic now, all in great context, promise)

In a perfect world, no Red Wings would go, because they'd all decline. The All-Star Game is a joke, has been for years, and I'd rather the guys on my team spend those few days resting and healing up and getting their s*** together for the 2nd half of the season, than playing in some stupid, meaningless game. Besides, if I want to watch the league's best players play hockey, I'll turn on a Red Wings game.

So little kids wouldn't see their poster boy get shut down all game! esteef

They've seen his wife and put themselves in his shoes.

I can honestly only think of one player better in the NHL and he also wears the Winged Wheel...

I've never stated anything close to that. Here is your gold star.

Can't forget: "SavemadeREBOUND"

This thread needs more Larry Murphy.

Bwaaaaaaahahaha! I read that "in voice" in my head.. I'm still laughing. Keating's gotta be a booze hound but really ... the entire FSD team blows and Daniels is the WORST of the worst.
