We don't have any PK issues...he just re-signed with Montreal!

Ya, Holland refused to give up Franzen....

Things that are better than the Wings Special Teams: "We kicked the tires and decided that the right deal wasn't out there." "We need to get bigger and tougher and gritty" "<insert name> is our deadline acquistion" Others: The 40 year old Belle Tire girl that used to be hot when she was the 20 year old Belle Tire Girl... Closing the bar and looking at the only girl left, ordering one more shot and saying "f*** it!" Ringing up $400 in gorceries only to have your debit card declined....with 6 other people looking at you.... Traveling to Thailand and meeting a nice girl, taking her back to your hotel, getting hot with her, receiving a great mouth hug, removing her clothes and....WTF!?!?! OMG!!!! Then you hear the song in your head "I know all there is to know about the crying game...."

How have you proven they were the 2 best defensive clubs? The only thing you've done is mention OUR defense and Howard. St. Louis was the best defensive club. #1 in fewest goals against and #1 in fewest shots allowed. Besides Doughty, Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk are more valuable than anyone in LA's or NJD's defense core

Basketball or am I going too far here?

I'm wondering how the OHL compares to U.S. college hockey in terms of quality of play. For that matter, how does the AHL compare?

star wars night (darth kader etc.) throwback night - refer to all players by the allstar wings player that wore their number (e.g. lebda for jokes)

i think the cover of "final countdown" takes the cake. that was righteously better than the special teams. barely*

Agreed.. St. Louis last season with the Halak Elliot combo along with the D was vicious. Especially during the second half of the season.

I skimmed considering the source, and as soon as I saw "Datsyuk" and "Trade Bait" together in the same sentence I loled in displeasure and decided to stop reading. This, as many posted a lot lately, I put under the category of "NHL 13 Scenario" because something this dramatic occurring in the real NHL is an impossibility. And let's cut the "Buyout Franzen" nonsense that's not happening either.

You have it backwards...if you play in a major junior game then your eligibility is done for that year and any subsequent game played in after that is another year gone (i.e. 2 games = 2 years of lost eligibility for the NCAA). If you play on an NCAA team and are still of age, you have the option to leave to go play major junior and that can include an overage year. Hope that makes sense

Is this thread your personal blog? Before the ranting continues you might wanna check out the fact that we already have a top 10 ranked prospect pool http://www.hockeysfuture.com/team-rankings/

He's an 18 year old kid that's already a fan favorite in a city with a lot of up and coming stars...how do you not get excited? It wasn't a series clinching goal like Stevie Y's against the Blues (one of the best goals ever), but hey...AT LEAST HE DIDN'T DANCE AROUND HIS STICK!!! OMG, my stick is like so on fire. I loved the old Fleury celebration. I think celebrations can be funny and entertaining for the fans. What if Datsyuk dangled all over someone, scored a nasty goal and on the follow though on the shot ended up riding his stick? I'd lol. None too different from every 2nd player going down and swinging their arm up from the ice or jumping into the glass, just those ones are more creative and funny.

He was awesome against you guys in the Olympics. Kept us in the game until the very end.

Nazi Germany, your opinion is always wrong in Nazi Germany

Don Cherrys suits. As a grown up supporter of Werder Bremen this makes my nuts hurt even more.

Yeah I have a feeling we'll hear tosh say "and we be right back with the kroll show" sometime in the next season of tosh.0.... I debated putting it or not.. I'd say mark the kroll show under "things that are just as bad as the wings special teams" I can sit through it if I have to but it's tough and I'd rather not.. To put it nicely ha

expired milk... after a huge swig the first Star Trek movie (this from a Trek fan) and... the Kardashian sisters moving to your town and becoming Jehovah's Witnesses (No offense intended to Jehovah's Witnesses. It's the Kardashians going door-to-door that would be annoying.)

I'm going to go with: 3. Redundant threads.

I think I know what the correct list of things are after a Wings win and loss. Wings lose 1. Blame Franzen 2. Blame Howard 3. Blame Emmerton 4. Blame Ericsson 5. Blame the Power Play 6. Blame the coaching staff and management 7. Whine on the forums until the next game. Wings win 1. No one gets credit 2. Blame all players except Dats and Z for sucking. 3. Whine on the forums until the next game. Course, I should know how this goes after being on these forums for so long.

0 points in 5 playoff games last year. He'll be back to normal when it's time to dance.

Your response didn't address or refute anything i said in my post. Tying the game with 5 seconds left is not considered a key goal? And no, Datsyuk as an individual doesn't bore me, I said if everyone in the league acted like that, it would be boring. The NHL needs guys like Ovechkin, Selanne, and Yak. Variety is good, and people are getting poopy about this for no legit. reason. As for Don Cherry's response to the goal. Its Don Cherry for gods sake. Here is Theo Fleury's tweet after he heard what Grapes said. Theo Fleury ‏@TheoFleury14 I do remember Don shaking my hand after scoring that goal in Edm and him congratulating me. Did an interview with Ron right after the goal.

From everything I've seen, the Habs offered a 2 year deal in the $2.5-2.75m a year range. So basically, he's asking for twice what the Habs offered & also wants the deal to be 5 or 6 years instead of 2.

Thanks for your input really appreciated. It is nice to see the EPL cracking down on the amount of foreigners and providing more space for Englishmen. as for Man U versus Real Madrid Well to be honest I wanted that matchup as the final game, they both hate each other and are absolutely loaded upfront. Man City to me is a club I wish nothing but the worst possible outcome, I hate them I want them gone this club has sold itself out, they have no identity, nothing to be proud of just a damn sheik trying to be the second Abramovic (spelling?). I think Man U will win at home and get a draw in Estadio Bernabeo. Real always has the biggest stars but hardly a real team and their coach is an absolute joke,you don't bench a guy like Casilas after having one or two bad games since forever.
