    The new face of Avalanche hockey

    I actually miss hating the divealanche as much as I used to. I hope they bring Floppa back to rekindle my hatred some more.

    Why no Enforcer in Motown?

    Pronger averages about one fight a year, which is embarassing for a guy his size that so often plays a dirty style of hockey. He's an overgrown backstreet boy and one of the biggest spotpickers in recent memory.

    Anyone wanna see some REAL hockey?

    There's nothing like playing hockey while there's girls sunbathing around the rink in bikinis.

    Rafalski is #28

    I hope the Patriots sign an enforcer or dirty player real soon.

    Has Pronger ever fought anybody that didn't have a European name plastered on the back of their jersey?

    It looks like you have a lot of free time on your hands. Just for kicks, which Patriot was Robert Lang?

    Zetterberg, Datsyuk on separate lines?

    Oh great. So when Lilja turns the puck over, Chelios will have to cover for him with his speed.

    The REAL Sharks logo, not the "leaked" prototype

    Will we ever see a team change their jerseys into something better than what they had before. The Sharks best jerseys were the first jerseys they had before they added grey to their colors. Now they add Orange, and change the logo around also. Well, I guess it's not as bad as what the Ducks and Sabres did last year.

    The "Sports Leader" killing hockey?

    Hockey, just like soccer wasn't invented or popularized in the U.S. and for that reason it will always be less popular than football, basketball, or baseball. Even if baseball is the most boring game ever invented, it will still be ranked higher than hockey in America, because people can't smell their own s***. I don't think that I would want to see the NHL on a network that has a bunch of sportswriters constantly making jokes about the league's troubles. And for those of you that are excusing ESPN because they're only pursuing what's economically viable is horsecrap. They're a sports network, so they should cover sports and not poker, dominoes, eating contests. If ratings are all that matter then why don't they show bikini contests all day on ESPN. Hell that would draw more than any baseball games they show, but it'd still have nothing to do with sports. ESPN can go straight to hell.

    Hasek: A Man With Unfinished Business

    His numbers in the playoffs were pretty good, but in the end he got outplayed by Giguere, which is why we lost. He also made too many mistakes at playing the puck, and I can't get that final game out of my mind with him doing snow angels 5 feet away from the net. With the current roster that we have, he'll have to play much better than last year in order for us to make any sort of playoff run.

    Words between Bowman and crawford

    I like their description of Maltby. Complainer, diver, whiner, wears a shield, and never drops the gloves. Sounds just like a certain Swedish douchebag that used to play for the divealanche.

    Good read

    Thanks for the info.

    Lidstrom's Future

    What do you guys think on how long Nick will stick around. Do you think that he'll play into his 40's like so many other great defensemen have done, or will he call it quits when his contract is up, which I believe is next year? Personally, I think that he has many years left where he can still put up huge numbers, but I don't see him as the type of guy that will be willing to stick around into his 40's, so I think this could be Lidstrom's final year.

    If Lilja sits, then who will be our feared enforcer?

    Lidstrom's Future

    I'm sure that will make Babcock sweat a little as far as his job security goes. Stevie as GM and Lidstrom as coach, not a bad idea.

    Zetterberg, Datsyuk on separate lines?

    I don't know what that comment about Drake mentoring Kopecky meant. Why can't Maltby mentor Kopecky? Maybe Drake speaks fluent Slovak. As far as those lineups, I'd like to see another right handed forward, especially one that can take faceoffs now that Lang is gone.

    Blues aquire Hannu Toivonen from Bruins

    It's amazing how many lousy goalies they've had since Grant Fuhr left. Turek, Johnson, Lalime. And Chris Osgood didn't exactly turn out to be their savior either. Anyway, as a Wings fan, I hope that this signing doesn't work out well for them.

    Good read

    I hope he never takes the same things that Romanowski took to be in the great shape that he was. In all seriousness, though, does anyone know how old Gordie Howe was when he left hockey before he came back for that one season at age 52? He probably had to be around Chelios's current age.

    Kelly Kisio vs. Sersei Fedorov

    You might be on to something. Bringing back Fedorov not only solves our tougness problem, but it also satisfies the many nostalgic fans on this board that want Feds back.

    Jimmy Howard

    That's what I mean. Ozzie was a rookie about 10 million years ago. Every other team has been willing to draft young goalies and develop young goalies to the point where even their backups would be solid prospects. We've gone out and brought in older goalies like Cujo and Hasek, and so when Hasek calls it quits, hopefully Howard will be that young goalie that we've waited for so long.

    Jimmy Howard

    I hope so. It seems like for the longest time we've done a worse job in developing young goalies than any other team in hockey.

    Brad Norton

    At least he's willing to drop the gloves and defend his teammates. It's important to let other teams know that if they want to push us around, they'll have to back it up. Also, the Wings losing early in the season had nothing to do with his presence in the lineup, unless you think that the Ellis, Hussey, Langfeld line was more productive.

    Why no Enforcer in Motown?

    San Jose didn't carry an enforcer for most of the year and in the Nashville series they paid for it with cheapshots on several of their players. They lost to us because guys like Marleau, Guerin, and their entire defense didn't contribute anything offensively. We don't have to mold our entire roster into a big physical one like the Sharks have, but some balance is needed, and we have none right now. As hard as it is to believe, once again we have a softer, smaller team than we did the year before. At this trend, we'll have midgets playing on our roster in five years, because every year we get smaller and smaller.

    New preds Jersey

    What Predator fans? I thought that their existance was just a myth. But lets suppose that these fans do exist, then they should hate us more than we hate them considering that we win the division every year.

    Favourite Moment of the 06/07 Regular Season?

    I wasn't laughing that night. Just ask my furniture.
