Wings_Fan_In_Exile

nevermind, i can't read.

ah well. I figured it was but I didnt dig through pages. My bad.

Man, if he's defensively responsible, I'd love him on the Wings.

Despite the massive hate I have held against Pronger in the past, he is still a dominant player. In a cap free world I'd say yes in a heartbeat. I do wonder how he is in locker rooms though. I voted Pronger, but would love Carcillo in Detroit. I've liked him since his Phoenix days. I'm surprised more of them aren't in pink.

Darren Pang is my favorite. Bob Cole/Harry Neale are pretty good but I rarely hear him living in Colorado. haha, forgot about him. Me too. And +1 on Boston's announcer. He's too much of a homer for me, although I do appreciate the enthusiasm to a point.

No, he's a solid player as many of said.

He can really be a prick, can't he Pronger on puck stealing

I never expected to read that on a Detroit Red Wings fansite.

It's the weirdest thing, normally I hold grudges like a true hockey fan. But for some reason, maybe it's simply how he embraces his role as a royal prick, but my hatred for him is melting away. It will probably return in the next Philly DET match, but as of now I am actually having fun watching him. He's damn good at what he does. Watch him closely, just about everything he does on the ice seems premeditated. Never thought I'd say this, but I wish we had a Pronger type on the Wings.

I don't know how you can really blame the Wings for Leino's lack of confidence/production when he was here. They gave him every chance and he just didn't deliver. Obviously if there were no cap he'd still be here. I'm actually just happy for him, it's cool to see a guy turn it around, even if it is kind of at our expense.

What kind of year did Tatar have? (I shamefully do not follow the AHL). I'm excited about this kid, but is he close to NHL ready or "over-ripe" as Kenny calls it?

Agreed. I have a hunch Bert re-signs, and does so for at least 2M if not more.

Maybe some crazy Flyer fan will run onto the ice and Tonya Harding Niemi's knees or something. The Flyers can definitely beat a Huet backed team

Very happy he is back and I'm fine with the price tag. I was 50/50 on him retiring or coming back so this is AWESOME news. At least one more year before we have a GIANT void on D.

You said it brother! I feel soooooo dirty rooting for Pronger and the Flyers but that is exactly what I've been doing.

I still think the Hurricanes logo is right up there in ugliness. Back on topic, funny article

Been digging these guys lately. Probably the first new music I've liked in a long while.

Growing up in Arizona doesn't allow for a lot of hockey encounters I suppose, but I did run into Brad May and Roenick when they each played for the Coyotes. Both were really nice dudes.

I'll go ahead and declare the Lightning my Eastern Conference team I suppose.

I see what you're getting at but I always thought it was kinda cool that there is a specific penalty for making the opponent bleed

I'm not sure the human body is meant to bend and flex the way Hasek played all these years and now it's an old man body doing those same moves... I predict his groin muscles retire on Dom.

Pretty much agree with everything posted. Speaking of video review, I'd like them to really address and go after divers. Review tape of plays that may be embellished, and throw out fines and then suspensions for repeat offenders. I think soccer/futbol is a great sport but I can barely watch it due to the diving. I don't want that to infect hockey more than it has.

I want and anticipate an Original 6 SCF even though I only like one O6 team (Detroit).
