Is it weird that I love Datsyuk even more for still being so terrible at English after so long?

I vote Boston because: 1. I hate Chicago and their "fans" who think their team is a legit dynasty even though most of them can't name who was captain before Toews. 2. I hate Pittsburgh, their fans, Crosby, Malkin, Iginla, and the homerism of NBC. 3. I don't want another team to win back-to-back Cups unless it's the Wings. And the city of Boston could use some good feelings.

I'm not really a fan of these. Although I freely admit to still being extremely butt hurt and overly sensitive, so your mileage may vary lol. Normally I love a good roast but I'm not past the "curl up in a ball phase" that is the beginning of the postseason for me. What can I say, this one is still stinging uuuuuggggggghhhhhhh wwwwhhhhhhyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!??

Started out great, but became tremendously unfunny by about the 38th time he used the "how many Cups" line. Probably used it so much because he's a bit insecure about the precisely zero Cups his hometown team has (despite what they want you to believe at Bridgestone Arena), or the fact that Detroit alone has more than all the "Conference III" teams combined. But I'm sure he'd just lump me in with everyone he thinks he's talking about, so what's the point?

OK, I cried... God, I love these guys. I can't wait for October! Thank YOU, my Wings, for a valiant heart-felt effort, in spite of the obstacles and injuries. I couldn't love you any more. I applaud all the local fans who went to games and cheered your hearts out for the Wings. See? They know you're there! I was sure that they did, and they appreciate it. Go, Wings, next year is our year!!

Another shutout for Mrazek

It happens all the time...if a team really wants a player they will make the deal and then offer him the money...Anaheim was just a suggestion. Someone who is in dire need for a 2nd line center would be willing to do so just so they get the exclusive bargaining rights to him before July 5th. It has happened before and will continue to happen. Of course someone with a top 15 pick may not offer their 1st, but someone in the bottom 20 just might... Tootoo did everything that was asked of him and since next season won't be a sprint to the playoffs, he will get even more playing time and have a bigger role on this team.... I too am perplexed why everyone wants to ditch him. I guess they think that every F/A power forward tough guy is going to come flocking to the Wings this July... Tootoo is more valuable to this team than Franzen... HatetheDrake, I don't like getting my hopes up either and that is the most reason why I don't like to drop names too much. When I do suggest names, I usually just say them because they are the type of player I want to see on this team. If we replaced Fil and Franzen with Ryder and Dupuis, I think this team becomes better. But I am not getting my hopes up for those exact two guys. I also like Burrows & Cole, but they would have to be traded for...

Any HIMYM fans on here? "Dangle worms"... Some silly jokes exist in that one.

I love how Chara very deliberately bends over to talk to Crosby.

Crosby was whining and crying after the game and took a shot at Rask as he was skating to the bench. Remember when Crosby lost and threw a tantrum on Zetterberg and Howard had to make a glove save on whiner Crosby's face? Crosby is one hell of a sore loser!

Sadly it is not just someone but Garys bff boy and team, so nothing will happen. If the league wants save face Cooke needs to be shown the door. Since that will not happen, Cryuins will continue their antics.

NHL, I'm looking at you!

Hawks and Pens deal with being dominated much the same way!!

Surprise surprise. The Pens get shutdown by a team that knows how to play defense, they lose and act like a bunch of spoiled brats. This kind of behavior is really old now. I'm not sure how Pens fans can stick by their team watching their best players and leaders act like this. That whole exchange between Crosby and Rask and then Crosby and Chara its an embarrassment to Pens fans, the franchise and the NHL. THIS is your poster boy?

I highly doubt, Crysby would pull that stuff without the refs being in the way. It was so hilarious, he tried to shove Chara and he just stood there laughing Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2

So the question(s) for Game 2 are: 1. Can the Bruins shut down Pittsburgh's offense again? 2. Will the Pens defense improve? I personally think if the Pens can't get their offense going it is going to continue to pressure their defense to play better. If Boston plays hard I am certain the Pens defense will have its lapses and you will see Bruins generate great scoring chances. Also, I like that the Bruins played physical but didn't make it their priority to hit everyone as much as possible. They played a smart game by focusing on stick work than just trying to blast guys into the 3rd row. They didn't seem to really flinch when Pittsburgh got very physical/gooned it up, so good on them for keeping their composure.

Ask the 30 GMs who would die for Filppula to play on their team for the right price. Great skater, great puck control, great battler, hustles his ass off every shift, great two-way play, great at faceoffs and big offensive potential. We've all seen what Filppula can do and how much he can score. If we can see the 60-70 point Filppula again, isn't it worth giving him a short contract to try and prove himself again? I feel like that is reasonable. Someone tell me if I'm wrong. Helm should center the third line (hoping that he returns, I think he will) and Brunner should get a top 6 spot.

I don't really care what their numbers were this year Stalberg isn't really anything impressive and Bickell is a prick. Clarkson is a different story maybe. And I highly doubt we add both Clarkson and Bickell.

Most of us like Miller. But some bodies have to leave, even ones who contribute. I'd like him to stay, personally, if there is room. The 'youth movement' is done. So many kids will be up full time next year there will be few call ups. Interesting that Holland wants more supporting players. We have enough already. Gritty ones, fast ones, defensive ones, offensive ones. We need big guns, Holland!

I d hire Brett Hull to coach/consult Brunner at finding open ice for the the one timer snipe And that is the best part of Brunners game. He just needs to adjust it for the NHL. Add to that some defensive training and he could be a pretty decent player.

Dats doesn't sound much like a guy that's spent the last 10+ years in North America

Horton or Clarkson. f*** Bickell.

Would people quit acting like they know Pavel Datsyuk personally and "know" what he would do or wouldn't do? He may want a ton of money. None of us here knows that. Ken Holland has been around the block a few times with star players. I think he knows what he's doing.

I was hoping the Sharks beat LA in case the Wings ended up losing to Chicago. Then I would've cheered for Sharks since they haven't won a cup yet and LA wouldn't win back to back cups, I want Wings to hold that honor. I don't want any of the remaining teams to win the cup since they all have won it all recently and dammit the Wings are the dynasty team. I lose interest once the Wings are knocked out. Pittsburg Vs. Chicago final....might as well ask me which brother I like better, Lyle or Erik Menendez.
