Commodore had 2 fights in 20 games with a team he didnt even wanna be on last year, that works out to 8 over a full season, and thats on a team that already has Boll and Dorsett doing alot of that dirty work. With the wings Commie will be the go to guy when it comes to fighting and I expect he will have around 10 next year. He knows the wings want him to be mean, they said it in the interview about the signing. To hold down a spot he'll be fighting. Knowing that a 6'5 mean Canadian has his back will probably let Abby go a little loose too and Ericcson will play with more balls knowing he isnt the only big guy on D who can scrap, trying to earn his paycheque. I think it will be surprising what kind of effect a guy like Commie will have on some of these guys

Whoa... There is no room for comments like that here, son. You either grap a pitchfork and torch and blindly join the lynch mob, or you GTFO!!! PS- What is verbal violence? Is that where you yell so loud that the soundwaves burst the other persons pancreas or something?

Man that seems like a harsh punishment for beating up his own garage door...ive beat the crap out of some of my own household appliances and never had to do community service! Feel bad for the guy, from what ive read he was just trying to get some of his stuff out of his own house which he paid for that his ex-wife was still living in...i just dont get what he was being punished for, and for being just his first offense, this seems like alot of service hours. Either they are keeping their mouths shut about stuff that went down, or the court system is doing what it does best when it comes to divorces and completely screwing the men like they always do.

Well considering Mayers was on the team that has beat the wings out 2 years in a row now, Carcillo and O'Donnel have been to the cup finals more recently than any redwings and Montador is a very solid player who is tough and can put up 30 points from the backend. I mean sure you might be one of those guys that has no clue and thinks physicality and meanness have no effect in the playoffs, but I'm not. Was Dallas Drake a washed up has been? Yup, but look what he did come playoff time.

commodore averages like 4 fights a year only, that wont come near satisfying the fight-jizz factor for most.

Size always matters.

Still better than Lebda!

There are 2 types of players. Guys that want more than anything to win the Cup and guys that want to make as much money as possible. Since Wiz signed a big contract with Columbus, he obviously is in the later category. He will enjoy golf in April with his big bucks. His loss, not ours.

Aw, the juvenile "No, I won the argument!" comeback. Every player on my fabulously concocted list played on NHL teams last year, so I don't know where you're getting minor leaguers from, maybe its for the sake of "Winning" the "argument"? I'm quite positive this thread is about the Hawks, is It not? Sound the title out, I have faith in ya.

How did I "lose" the argument? This isn't a competition, it's a discussion. Quite juvenile, young chap.

Wish I could take all the credit but that was very much a group post.

Good career, always wanted to see him on the Wings.

My first thought as well. Not to mention Hudler is the complete opposite of what Burke likes, because he's not North American and he surely isnt big.

I not only like the fact they admit a change is needed with the current set up, I also (very surprisingly) like what they choose...Creepy.

Fantastic, just fantastic. Congrats Nick!

This is the right move for the Wings. I thought Salei would move closer to home but I wasnt sure about Joey Mac, he had a good year of hockey this season. I remember some huge stops he made for us and hope some one takes a shot on him (pun intended) as a full time back up. Thanks for the season guys and good luck.

It's a good day, thank's Nick

Thank God! Such huge news given the unexpected Rafalski retirement! Great news for Wings fans everywhere.

Big part's of me feel that Jagr just has had such a bad attitude, like with the Rangers he publicly gave up before actually being defeated. I hate that. Then there is the other side that thinks with Pavs or Hank he could be huge....but I still hope we get a little younger scoring help opposed to older...

Thats Hilarious!...Just throwing this out there New Orleans is my next destination for sure, Ive never been there and I'm a cook by trade and have come to LOVE the eats there sooo much!! Off topic but thats ok....Go Wings!

Ahmen.

I cant believe it! Such great news for the game of hockey. This gives me hope that they will create a new, fantastic re-alignmen. One where ALL teams play each other the same number of games...fingers crossed!

Please, for the love of god not Kaberle.

I dont think its just Wings fans that hate the Canuks...

thats for sure! and to lock him up would be sick, get r done Kenny.
