    Which active player will have his jersey retired?

    That'd probably be my list.

    Pizza is awesome. I've switched over to a similar routine. I alternate between cardio and wieghtlifting too, switching off every day (keep Sunday as my lazy day). That way I'm able to be thorough with my workout and not feel rushed. Plus the variety helps too. 5AM is EARLY though. Ouch!

    has a referee or linesman ever fought a hockey player during a game?

    sirdrake, ENCORE! ENCORE! C'mon man, today is slow... it's time for the latest completely random off the wall sirdrake thread of greatness.

    Great progress man, well done. I weighed in today at 202lbs (started at 215-216lbs 2 months ago). I bet it would have been 200lbs but my dad was in town and we ate junk all weekend (had pizza three times!)

    Why the heck are the "C" and the "A"s on the wrong

    I hated seeing the A's and C on the right side too... but those pics make me feel warm and fuzzy inside, so no complaints from me. Just will take a little getting used to. I 2nd the notion that at least the Wings aren't putting numbers on the front. Could you imagine that?

    has a referee or linesman ever fought a hockey player during a game?

    He's been out of the game for a little bit, so I'll sirdrake some slack... but he is capable of so much more. I acutally have seen a linesman grab a player, drag him off the ice and literally through him out (the door to the tunnel was already open). It was a college hockey game where just about every player was ejected for fighting. It was pretty sweet.

    Doan requests trade ?

    To me Briere and Hudler is comparing apples to oranges at this point. Yes they are both undersized offensive talents, BUT at the time of the trade Briere was one of the few bright spots on the Coyotes roster scoring 32 goals (60pts) the year prior to the trade and 58 pts the year of the trade. It was obvious to any fan in Phoenix that Briere was a legit scorer. And at the time of the trade he was one of their top scorers. Hudler has potential, but also 29 career points. He certainly isn't threatening to lead the team in scoring at this point. So IMO, trading Briere for Gratton was trading a top player for what I consider a role player. Trading Hudler would be trading a top prospect. So to tie it back to Doan, hell yeah man. Trade Hudler. As far as comparing Briere and Gratton as having nearly identical numbers... Briere went 15pts, 60pts, 58pts... was a young player that was just coming into his own Gratton went 40pts, 39pts, 45pts.. consistent 40 point scorer a couple years older. IMO Gratton showed a lot less potential at the time of the trade. Can you tell I'm still bitter about that trade?

    Doan requests trade ?

    I'm aware of when the trade happened, that it was by a different GM, etc. Believe me, I lived in AZ when that s***ty trade went down. And that trade pissed me off. They traded their best offensive talent for Gratton, who in my opinion back then was no where near as good as Briere.

    Doan requests trade ?

    I think Doan would be an awesome fit for the Wings. I also find it hard to believe this rumor. If Doan wanted out of Phoenix he would have hit the UFA market and ended up with a way better contract. But IF something has changed since then I sure would be happy to see him come to Detroit. Hell as a Coyotes and Wings fan that is the only scenario where the Coyotes trade Doan and I'm not super pissed. I would expect the Yotes to ask a very steep price for him since he's been the only solid player on their roster for the last few years pretty much, and the only real "untouchable" at every trade deadline. But then again, this is the same franchise that traded Briere and a 2nd for Chris Gratton and a 3rd

    Good to see my Coyotes taking care of each other.

    He could slow down, he might speed up

    I know this isn't at all accurate or how things will play out, but IF Hank were to stay on this scoring pace.... On Pace: Games: 82 Goals: 55 Assists: 109 Points: 164 +/-: +68 That would be something.

    He could slow down, he might speed up

    Sadly, I don't think sirdrake is going to be able to keep up the impressive level of production. He came out too strong, too fast. Didn't pace himself. It's only a matter of time til he As far as the topic, awesome to see Hank kicking ass. Hope he keeps it up!

    Finally Downey is playing

    I fully expect Downey to be a punching bag tonight against the Ducks. Better him than Holmers or Z though.

    Boulerice gets 25 games

    This may have already been posted but I hadn't seen it, so... You'll see it about the 35 second mark. Not sure what Boulerice was thinking...

    Do any Red Wing players read this forum?

    I assume they have a lot better things to do than read our bickering on here. haha. But funny you mention it. After all the sirdrake Chelios threads I was thinking to myself, I bet Chelios would get a kick out of those threads more than any of us.

    why do players even bother appealing to the officials?

    That had me laughing out loud. Well done agian sirdrake. Well done.

    Niedermayer and Selanne

    haha that made me laugh. If Niedermayer comes back just for the home stretch/playoffs he better be the last guy allowed to do that before the NHL makes a new rule/deadline for players in his situation. And I'll be damn suprised if he doesn't come back somewhere in Feb-March.

    I never get sick of seeing that. Man was the great. And seeing a pissed off Brett Hull always made me smile too.
