Comrie looked great last night. I guess him an Hilary Duff must have had a disagreement and he was just taking it out on Mottau. As for Brashear, I've never really liked him, but I'm beginning to think more and more that he should be considered for top 10 all-time status. I know he hugs a lot and he's boring as s***, but he's been dominant for a very long time, and that's hard to do as an enforcer.
-
That s***bag you allude to is now the Blues announcer, and I've had to listen to that retard during several Blues-Wings broadcasts this year.
-
I'm glad he's hurt, because I doubt divealanche fans felt sorry when Stevie was hurt all those times at the end of his career. I will say that he's one of the few guys I don't hate on that team, but if we play them in the playoffs, he'll still be the player I'm most worried about, so I hope he doesn't come back.
-
There's a lot of teams that are sorry because they put too much stock into those exact attributes you mention. If a guy has no heart, those other things don't matter.
-
He's never been anything more than a guy who was great at handling the puck and could score from time to time. The problem was that his work ethic and self-motivation were non-existent. He'll probably wind up playing back in Russia.
-
Lilja's the right man for the job. He fights for his teammates, he scores game winning goals, and he's by far the best looking player on the team, which is important for media purposes and marketability.
-
Well, they needed some excuse for their pathetic season.
-
Yeah, but Lilja's a great defensive fighter, unlike Franzen who just had no clue what to do to protect himself. I've never seen Lilja get beat down like that. Once again, the Gauthier fight from last year doesn't count, since that was before he became the "PAIN TRAIN".
-
Amen to that. I miss the days where 15 guys every year would ht 300 PIM's and over 30 fighting majors. Now no one does it once.
-
Getting rid of the instigator rule is number 1 for me. As far as unrealistic wishes, it would be that goalies would become a lot worse, and not play the butterfly style anymore.
-
That picture of Pronger holding the Cup makes me realize just how f***ed up this world can be.
-
It's not common knowledge, but he did kill a woman with his car while driving drunk, which is why he served the jail sentence. One year is too light a punishment if you ask me though.
-
And they always assume that Phoenix would be stupid enough to trade him for Sammy of all people. In fact, Sammy has been traded here on LGW in about 10 million different acquisitions.
-
How's your boy Jackman doing on the IR? You're right, karma is a *****, which is exactly why jackass is injured now.
-
What I wouldn't give to have a guy that can do that against the Blues.

I just love this article - How the Mighty Wings Have Fallen

True, but we should still have more than 3 cups. The last 3 seasons this team had the most points in the league each year, and made the finals zero times. This year, the cup is a must with the way this team is rolling. -
Based on your reasoning, we should have won the cup every year since 02, because we had the best team in the league each year going into the playoffs. Also, don't forget that some other top team could sign a big player, which might give the Wings incentive to sign one of their own.
-
Did anyone catch the hugfest between Brashear and Laraque last night? I think their fight earlier this year was some kind of out of body experience for both of them. Easily the 2 most boring fighters ever, though I'd still love to have either on my team.

Another biased Canadian who hates the Red Wings. I wonder if he remembers that article right about now. -
Why the sudden love affair with Ryder? This guy's confidence level right now reminds me of Woody Allen. I know players play better once we sign them, but I'd rather have a guy who's playing well right now, then make a deal for some 4th line bench jockey who might or might not break out of his funk. Ryder has sunk this year faster than the Titanic.
-
There's one thing you have to remember with divealanche announcers and fans. They're total ******* idiots. They know nothing about hockey except the "red wings suck" chants. I'd rather go to a leper colony than ever sit in that bulding to watch a hockey game. As for Roy, I thought he beat Osgood, but Vernon busted him up, so I can't see how anyone thinks Roy won that fight. Then again, as I mentioned earlier, it's divealanche fans, so anything is possible.

You're forgetting "PAIN TRAIN"
-
I'm surprised Barry has Lidstrom in his top 10 since he's not Canadian. Also, what the hell is Niedermayer doing there? He only won 1 Norris trophy. I wouldn't have even put him in my top 10. I'd put Bourque 4th and Potvin 5th, while keeping the top 3 in the same order.
-
Yeah, I was disappointed too. I wouldn't be surprised if Babcock put the leash on him up 5-0, especially if he was afraid of some brawl breaking out. Also, since Franzen is a non-fighter, I would love to have seen Downey go after some puss on their team, like maybe Tkachuk or Ryan Johnson who's always running our goalies.

Hopefully Ottawa would play the same way they did against Anaheim last year in the finals.
