I too can appreciate the effort. However, it's one thing to appreciate the effort while thinking the content is sub-par. I appreciate the effort that goes into making a movie but Boondock Saints 2 (All Saints Day) was still the biggest piece of crap I have seen. Sure, it took a lot of effort to make but I'll still rip it any chance I get.

It's funny reading blogs that are written by fans who try to act so knowledgable about a team but then make ridiculous statements. I especially like how he penciled in Jiri Hudler - Johan Franzen - Daniel Cleary as the second line.

The irony of the whole Cooke/Savard and Crosby + Lemieux outrage does not escape me, either.

The St. Louis Blues will win the division, the Wings will get a bunch of injuries, the Wings will lose to the Blues in Game 7... Sounds like this Deen person isn't a hockey analyst, just a Blues fan who hasn't stopped believing

Hi everyone, I am a psychologist at the University of Glamorgan in the UK doing some research on the addictive nature of being a sports fan and how it impacts on peoples lives. My research team and I have created a survey looking at some of these ideas and now we need some proper fans to have a go at it!! It takes about 5-10 minutes to complete and will hopefully make you think about how big a fan you actually are! If you follow the link below it will take you to the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7GLB5YY I'd be really grateful if you could have a go! Cheers!!

2012-13's Blues' marketing slogan: I Will Survive.

wouldnt be surprised 2 see bettman giive him a job with the league that he has no experiance for, without havingto work his way up... he could always be an ice girl???

Bias? Where's the bias? The statement is "fact." I suppose it depends on what you are reading into it. I don't think the writer was trying to say that Steckel went out and drilled him with a vicious hit, otherwise, the writer would have gone on to say more about. I know there are some out there that think the contact was on purpose, but the vast majority think it was accidentaal contact...but either way, he was "drilled by a blindside hit." If you step back and think about things now though, you have to really question the Pens medical staff, reasons as follows: - When I was watching the game on TV, after seeing that hit, I was thinking concussion immediately, surely the medical staff must have had concerns as well. Regardless of what Crosby may have said to them, why on earth wouldn't they keep him out of the rest of the game? One period of a regular season game...keep him out just for precaution. Perhaps he continued to play just because of the nature of that game. - I've read that he did experience some symptoms before the TB game, which was somehow explained away, but again, combining the fact he took that headshot, had some sort of headaches/illness afterwards, surely you think you'd hold him out of hte next game for precautionary reasons. - Then, in the TB he takes the hit from behind into the glass. If you watch that play, he doesn't look well at all after the hit. Again, I'm pretty sure he finished the rest of the game....what? How is that possible. Anyway, my line of thought is to take a lot of caution when you see something that could be potentials for concussion. Knowing everything we know now and don't know, why wouldn't you be as cautious as possible. There is a lot of people out there that think he would have been back playing last year if they had just kept him out after the Steckel hit. Not playing the next game, but definately not out this long.

Yust a city boy... Losing games to South Detrooiiit.

Summer of 2012 - Wings welcome newest team members Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. Thousands of Wings fans change their pants.

Hockey was actually safer when it was more violent in the 80's and nineties. Line clearing brawls may look worse than a blindside hit 2 the head, but there not, ide rather see stuff like that as retribution for a team or individuals action then a dirty blindside, or from behind hits to the head. the problem now is players dont have to pay the price ON THE ICE, if they make a dirty play. Oh a fine and sitting a couple games and a fine will teach them! right? Not really, these guys have deep pockets and its a long season. on the other hand if the guy gets his ass beat everytime he steps on the ice, cuz he is dirty (matt cooke) hes not gunna last long in the league. And im not talking about a north south hits 2 the head, thats the player with the pucks fault should have had his head up. If they dis allow those hits to the head, a guy can just skate around the ice with his head down in order to protect himself from being touched. yes i know it was a bit off topic,

I know that there are many delicate sensibilities at the top of this board who are EASILY offended, and, oh dear, upsetting words makes the baby Jesus cry, but when it comes to the prospect of Cindy never playing again: "sympathy" lies somewhere between "s***" and "syphillis" in the dictionary.

I'd love nothing more than to see Sidney Crosby never play another hockey game for the rest of his professional career. However, not for this reason. I don't wish that on anyone, even someone I despise as much as him.

sad news. I really hope his head aches go away and hes able to continue his career. as per Josh Rimer of XM, @joshrimerhockey

Ahhh...and there it is. I knew there had to be some organized douchebaggery or "movement" for Bertuzzi to be ahead of Kronwall in the polls. Real Wings fans voted for the obvious choice in the poll, Kronwall.
