Could you imagine how hard Jimmy would have to work with Nabby right behind his back? This is a good move on so many levels.

Should've met Gordie at a signing, but my Dad thought it was important for me to go to class. He went and said Gordie was a class act, which we already knew. MR. HOCKEY IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN 3RD GRADE!

NO, NABBY NO!!! Detroit is where good goalies come to die.

I can't speak to the 70s, but as for the 80s, no there wasn't. I'm sorry, but there just wasn't. I've been watching hockey pretty seriously since the early to mid 80s on. Games would get chippy, there would be full line brawls, there were plenty of elbows and fights, but that is not the same thing as what happens now. If a player threw a clean hit, the entire team on the ice did not immediately go jump the guy in the middle of the play. Once in a great while, maybe. But now it's become accepted practice. And if it was a star player that got hit, one of the enforcers on the team would go after him either during that shift or later in the game. Or that team would often start taking runs at the other teams star players. But that's not the same thing. They would intimidate you from hitting guys because of the enforcers, not because the entire team would cheapshot you at once. I understand protecting a star player, that's why Yzerman had Probert and Gallant on his wing, but it's gotten f-ing ridiculous. It's bad for the game, and it should be heavily penalized. I love hockey because it's a fast, athletic, tough sport. But jumping guys after clean hits makes it like hockey players are china dolls. Like a player is such a puss that he can't handle being hit, so his whole team has to protect him. People ***** and moan about the new NHL and how they're trying to take hitting out of the game, but jumping guys after clean hits is doing the exact same thing. Imagine in football after someone got crushed catching a pass, if every player on the offense started trying to fight the defensive back who made the hit. It's idiotic.

I feel like theres some plan in place, why would Holland waste his time if he was just going to get picked up?

Forced retirement If he's going to be good for the team then I'm all for it, I just hate that they'd be forcing Osgood out sort of like they did back in 2001.

Hopefully Howard can have a strong game and the Wings make it out of St Louis with some points.

Just win kthx

"Touchdown Rangers! It's 7-0 for New York" Getting embarrasing, Bostons gonna get a nice prospect this summer.

Hopefully he gets his s*** together. He has been letting in soft goals on a regular basis.

God damn, you guys all whine like Sidney Crosbys... We saw Pittsburgh in the finals 2 years in a row. They're officially on our s*** list. We're going to discuss, debate, and ***** about their star player. If you don't want to read it, don't click on the thread. People act like every thread around here gets taken up by "Crosby sucks" comments, and that's not true. I think its very relevant to discuss this potential Crosby snubbing the ASG thing, because our guys got dinged for doing just that. As for that being rumors and hearsay, so is about 99% of what we post here. This is coming from a semi credible news source as well, its not like someone just picked up the info on a random blog.

Article just posted to Detroit Red Wings.com ... just the rumor report. But why would Detroit post that rumor if there wasn't more to it?

It's hard to step up in the playoffs when you are asked to play damn near every regular season game.

JHO is back I feel a 4-1 Wings Victory GO WINGS!!

Oshie returns for St. Louis. Let's hope we can play .500 hockey until Datsyuk and company get healthy.

I want to see a beard-off between Zetterberg and Kirk Gibson...

Family member is ill and wants to spend time with her before she passes, do not see any real problem with this...

He's talking about Howard's play since Christmas. Earlier in the season Howie had better GAA numbers. And well, that's just how averages work.

Lebrun, Dreger and a slew of others have already squashed that idea. They said he's angry that he won't be involved because of his concussion, but also noted that last time he was hurt and couldn't play - he still showed up. Don't get me wrong, I am by no means a Crosby fan - but this seems like a stretch. He does enough douchey stuff already without having to make up new things.

Exactly. They asked the NHL to let him skip the game. The NHL could have said no. The league had the final word in whether he went or not and they made the final roster.

A friend of mine posted some Leafs jokes on my facebook, I'll share them here.. What's a common theme with the Toronto Raptors, Blue Jays, Argonauts, and Maple Leafs, aside from all being from Toronto?... None of them know how to play hockey. What do you call 22 millionaires watching the playoffs?... The Maple Leafs. Why doesn't Hamilton have and NHL team?... Then Toronto would want one too. It's a sad fact that most people who witnessed the Leafs win their last cup were in diapers... It's a fun fact that the next time they win, those same people will be in diapers again. Man goes into a bar with his dog to watch the Leafs game. Bartender says it's ok, so long as the dog doesn't cause any trouble... When the Leafs score their first goal, the dog leaps off the bar stool, does a backflip and dances around on its hind legs. The bartender says to the man, "Hey that's pretty sweet! What happens when they win a game?"... The man replies, "I dunno. I've had him for 3 years and we're yet to see it happen!" What do the Leafs and the Titanic have in common?... The both look good until they hit the ice.
