Last DET-TB matchup Next Game vs.

I don't see the Wings landing Iginla, because Holland is the type of GM to look at the future just as much as the present. He won't pay a whole lot for Iggy knowing he's well into the second half of his career and likely won't provide much for the Wings in the coming seasons. Other teams will easily outbid us wanting to win today, including some that Iginla will want to play for, expecting they have a chance at a Cup. Parise is a guy I can see Holland going all out for. We have the capspace, we have the prospects, we have the picks, and this guy can be a cornerstone for years to come. I don't know that we have a top three forward in our talent pool in Grand Rapids or elsewhere. Parise may be able to buy Holland a couple extra years once Dats and Z get into the end of their careers, which will be all the more reason to pull the trigger on this one.

When you find out, let Doug Wilson know.

Yea for real. Talk about right place right time. I hope he stays because he is definitely solid for his price and I couldn't care less if he fights anymore.

What was so funny about it is that Hank said that he already knew who it was without even looking behind him.

I don't think I've ever had such a dislike for another poster's choice of font. Sorry, but it's true.

Sid, I'm disappoint.

The "C" isn't just about the being the best player on the team, it's also about the most capable to lead and unfortunately for Pasha, the language barrier HAS to factor in there as well for communicating with refs, press events, team meetings, etc... when the unthinkable happens, the new captain will STILL be Z and if it's not, there's a better chance it would be Kronwall than Dats...

Die Lightning!! esteef

Because who wouldn't want Filpulla/Hudler and Ericsson on their team? Those guys are proven champions who played for the Red Wings.

My problem....I'm not willing to talk about Vezina worthiness with a guy who's only played 12 games so far. Not really into discussing it for guys that played 20 games either.

I apologize if I'm kinda behind on this, but what was Boudreau's locker room speech on 24/7? What was so bad/controversial about it? Also, Ovechkin comes off as a little kid that pitches a s*** fit if he doesn't get his every wish. He's got unbelievable skill, but he seems like a little whiny prick. I know the star player always wins these kind of battles, but I don't place the blame completely on Bruce. Sure, you've got to demand respect and earn the respect of your team, but when there are dickheads like Ovechkin and Semin who float around and play hard when they feel like it, its got to be difficult.

Ack - just saw a picture of Hunter with grey hair at the arena and my midlife crisis began...

on the other hand, I feel bad for this guy who became the scapegoat. it's not like you see him stand and do nothing on the ice...

With defensive plays like last night against Nashville, I'd really dislike seeing him leave.

The actual scrum in general isn't all that big of a deal, but it still makes them ridiculous hypocrites.

Two posts, both of which asserting that one of our star players, a player groomed to be the next captain from the start, isn't good enough to be captain. Quite interesting. Only here.

Who's Crosby?

This is a case of HWSNBN writing checks with his elbow that his ass can't cash. Meaning, if you're going to pull a stunt like that, whether it was warranted or unwarranted, you need to be prepared for the same happening to you. You think he is? You think he's going to take an elbow/butt-end to the face and say "Well, I did it to some other guy, so what goes around comes around"?

Butt-end to the face? I don't think so.

Look at that mustache. lolol

Meh, that happens to Holmstrom and Franzen every game when they are in front of the net. Much ado about nothing, but I guess as long as we can bash Crosby we might as well.

Crosby is a hypocrite on this one. Like I said in the other thread, I understand that Foligno had run into Fleury a few times. But there are other ways to respond to that then throwing an elbow and a butt end. You turn around and square up. I'm betting this didn't even get reviewed. As I also said in the other thread, Cherry called out Crosby for this elbow and basically said what goes around comes around. Sid is a super talent, but continues to come off like a spoiled little *****. Here's Crosby's response.

You don't remember the "I have to play better" speech from 1997? That was local legend for a bit after they won it that year.
