Is anyone else amused that this topic was started by "FireCaptain?"

You could include Karlsson on the list. Great season for a promising young player, but Norris worthy??

Pavelski and Setoguchi are notorious divers also.

It got its name from this fight (starting at 10 seconds after the Probert fight). So I guess we're done here?

We've already beat to death the fact that the Thunder Buddies wives said they were going to Minnesota. The issue needs to die already just like their careers and cup dreams will there.

Speaking of divers, put Joe Thornton on the list. He is very overrated....and has bad hair

For monster yeah. But, could you see ozzie wearing anything else? It just wouldn't be right.

better than osgoods

'Twas more of a joke than anything, my friend.

Meanwhile, I have to figure out if I need to cancel my automatic subscription to NHL Center Ice this year while these assholes figure out who's going to be the biggest millionaires. f*** the lot of them! esteef

I noticed it right off....as Ironic as it was being "firecaptian" it could have been appropriate for anyone, the way the thread gets worded.... "Fire on the roof at Hockeytown Cafe started by centcougar....news at 11!" I do smell a jealous fan though....trying to destroy a bit of our history! Or just some employees on break smoking on the roof and tossed the butts...

Hmm didn't even notice that the first time I was in on this topic

Perhaps you mean, "If NHL 13 becomes reality" then we could have that team. Sheesh.

The sad part is that if we told him he was going for a "hat trick" of lockouts he would wonder what on earth lockouts had to do with hats that do tricks.

Easily (will contain strong words 1. Parity crap: He is using money from the leagues backbones (original 6 + some tank to win teams), in order to protect his failed and flawed ideas. Yes I am talking about the sunbelt expansion. 2. 2 lockouts in a row and he is going for the hat-trick What else needs to be said? He is the only commissioner in all of sports with such a "track-record", thats disgusting and should get him fired before the season - whenever that may be - is starting. 3. No respect for integrity of the game He will do everything to protect failed franchises but had no problem relocating the Jets, Whalers and Nordiques. There are already options outthere for the NHL to make more money by relocating some teams but no he is a stubborn idiot and prefers to keep them, letting tax payers and well run franchises - such as ours - pay for them. 4. Atrocious person Yes, I get it he is working for the owners and his job is to make them money, blablablabla but he also has to represent the NHL and he is doing an extremely poor job in doing so. There is a reason why this guy gets boo'ed everywhere, save for his cock-sucker tank to stanleycup teams. Everytime he opens his mouth you know immediately he will have to say something stupid and sound like a complete moron, who doesn't even understand one bit of hockey but yet is making more than 88 % of the players. 5. No love for the original 6 Under him the NHL will shoot for the moon to promote some of their failures but when was the last time original 6 matchups got the PR attention they deserve? I really can't remember anything despite the lazy effort such as "two original six teams are playing each other" oh well for how much money we are giving back to this joke of a league under him we should get way more out of it. 6. Changed the game for the worse Daily and him did an absolute horrible by changing the NHL into something it will and should never be, a mainstream sport instead of focusing on already existing real hockeyfans. Agitators having a freepass nowadays because they know exactly they won't have to answer for their crap. Gone are the days when guys like McCarty, Probert (RIP big man) or Koccur would beat the crap out of you if you've done something real dirty, read that carefully Shea Weber! I could go on and on but I'm not risking a ban or warning so I leave it at that, this guy is an atrocious person and an agitator himself ***** him and his suits parity crap.

Just get something done so we can start the season on time.

I just want the season to start on time! In the end, the Wings are going to make the playoffs...and then anything can happen if all are healthy...of course there is always trade deadline help too...I kind of like going into the season not being favored to win the Cup, or even the Central. I got a feeling Smith and Nyquist will challenge for the Calder and as long as he stays healthy, Jimmy will again be in Vezina conversations... We may not have landed the top UFA's ( yes, I wanted them too) but the guys we got do make our team harder to play against... I am excited to get it going!

Considering the Wings signed one of the biggest divers in the league this offseason and Kesler is still in the league, I think Brown is safely out of the top spot. Brown unfortunately is prone to Maltby like antics, embellishing crosschecks and willing to take a punch to the face to draw a penalty, but I wouldn't even put him in the top five for diving in the league. It's just annoying he does it at all because unlike the 4th liners who do it, Brown has a lot of great qualities to his game.

Hands down Marc-Adre Fleury!! I can't stand hearing about how great he is.

No one is stating the obvious?? I guess he who shall not be named is a given, so taking that into consideration, I'll have to go with Luongo, and the Sedin sisters. Of course, most anyone wearing a Vancouver jersey could fall under that description.

MAF.

Alex Semin. What Carolina paid him is insane. I also think Brad RIchards and Mike Green make my list.

I have believed Roberto Luongo to be the most overrated goalie for the past 5 or 6 years, but I think the media is starting to catch up.

All of the names listed are great, and I agree on them all... With that said, I'm going to go left field on this and take one that people don't think about very often and one that was the worst scape goat in RW history... Curtis Joseph Had he been given his fair shake and was here through his prime, it would have been epic

Darren Helm with a Fedorov hands transplant!
