These recurring "Hitler" videos are incredibly distasteful.

This the the season that Ozzie scores two.

Oh, really? Thanks for the informative update. In the future, if you're going to "drop names", please make it "names" that actually have a clue ... just for the rest of us poor peasants, ok?

Some posters don't like Russians.

You've got your list of 10 centers better than Messier. Will you follow through on your promise?

You realize that to "Newfy" that translates as 'f*** Canada', right?

No one should have to deal with that attitude to begin with. I'd name ten, you'd tell me I'm wrong ... what's the point of the exercise?

Jean Beliveau, Howie Morenz, Bryan Trottier, Phil Esposito, Newsy Lalonde, Marcel Dionne. The knock on Messier is that, arguably, at no point was he ever the League's best player ...

Great, you love Canada and think Canadian players are great. That about it? Canada has more players in the NHL than any other country. Got it. Canada is the Olympic favorite. Got it. You think Canada has more depth than any other country, got it. If I post a list of the 30 best NHL players, and 15 aren't from Canada, you'll respond with "OK 30 of the best 60 NHL players are from Canada". Got it. At some point you'll be right. But you've already made YOUR point, ad nauseam, ok? EDIT: spelling

Believe me, you can't hurt my feelings. I'm Canadian, you picked that up already, right. In my mind Pavel Datsyuk is the best all round player in the NHL. Ovechkin is the most dangerous player, in many ways. Malkin and Zetterberg are very good as well. None are Canadian. Revisionist history is boring.

That's only 5. I guess math is not a Canadian strongpoint.

So once? Is "once" a big enough sample set? What was he, 19 then? Come on.

Are you trying to pimp Kopecky as a decent 4th-liner, that McCormick replaces, because it's pretty unanimous around here that Kopecky blows. And, he scored more points that McCormick, and no, it's not all about the points. But, you need to be able to play a little to make the Red Wings lineup, right. I'm all for a fighter, but he must be able to play some hockey as well, right?

It's great to be Patriotic. It's dumb to suggest, even remotely, that Ovechkin won't be a force. I'm still trying to wrap my head around who all these great "shutdown" defenders are though. I'm Canadian. This won't be easy by any stretch. There are going to be some very good teams. Don't let your Patriotism cloud that fact.

I didn't even say anything about this "12 points" that you keep going on about. He and Ozzie have scored the same amount of goals in 1 season. Ozzie did it in less games. You're correct though, he is UFA.

Great post! Oh, what the hell are you replying to, precisely. I didn't post any of the things you're apparently taking umbrage to. He's a RFA. Are you suggesting Holland give him an offer sheet?

Enough said. Pretty difficult to get past 1 goal in 55 games ... as a center. Osgood has scored that many goals in a season.

The game sometime in June when Lidstrom lifts the Stanley Cup again. That's the game I most want to see.

Why would a team, any team give up something of any value for the right to pay Hudler $4 million, even though he'd rather be in Russia? That's rather nonsensical. It's a nice idea in thought, but in reality, it'd be hard to find anyone to take him off your hands for THAT money, with THAT baggage attached to him.

This was put up on that site 2 days ago. There's plenty of discussion on it already. Look around.

Starting a thread with you're first post is dumb. Asking a redundant question is equally dumb. I think you'll fit right in.

Well, another "home opener" thread.

No link, no names ... no news.
