Doggy

I saw this a few months ago. Didn't find the hockey stuff funny. A little stupid too considering Ovechkin will get paid much more than 95% of NFL players. But the last quote is indeed, gold.

Yeah but he could've at least come up with ONE game-winner. I mean, is that too much to ask? I don't think so. Sometimes 50-something saves in a 1-0 OT game isn't enough. Cublow sucks!!

You had him at #22? Okay. You have too much time. Regardless, you shouldn't try to make people eat crow for not predicting the future. While I agree Z was top 10 after last season, the season he has just had cannot be used as an argument for that. I can't say Jiri Hudler is currently the Wings top forward because I predict he will get 100 points next season. And even if it does happen, I'd still be wrong. So get off your high horse. Nobody likes a self-promoting wanker. This argument was over 8 months ago. You made your arguments and people disagreed with you, just let it go. Hank winning TSN's player of the year doesn't make you any more correct.

Well it works both ways, kiddo. You gonna eat crow for not putting Datsyuk in your top 20?

You mean cross your T's and dot your I's! Get it right man!!! Jokes bro.

I knew there was a reason I hearted you VIB. Don't tell ELN though.

YoungGuns post made me think that Ray Shero has to sell his hockey team as well. Let me tell you - they are a very bloody watchable club. Regardless of whether or not they win Cups, if they do well each year with guys like Crosby, Malkin and Hossa - they'll sell out every game. The fact is, 6-4 wins sell more tickets than 2-0 wins. However, those 2-0 wins are what get you a Cup. Case in point - Pittsburgh ain't Hockeytown. They do still need reasons to watch the Pens while the Steelers are winning. I'm not saying anyone is wrong, I'm just suggesting this other viewpoint that I believe is worth taking into account.

But what else is Shero supposed to do? Sign Lidstrom and Pronger? His team still has the ability to be a Cup contender this coming season and he has to do all he can to capitalise on that. So why not sign the best players he can? Plus, their D is not that bad and they have an awesome goalie with some pretty good experience now.

You can't just make up memories man.

Yep. Heaps. It's just really easy to use his name in an insulting way. But still, he's of no use to us. I doubt he'd be of use to any NHL club.

You stated that it had very little to do with the individual player. I was just pointing out that that is obviously untrue.

Clutching at straws Eva. Although you never do back down, so I expected some stupid answer like that. Not what I was getting at. I never said anything about ZDH not having the best +/-

Why do we want Curtis Blowsieve? Because he's old? To me it doesn't make sense. But that's just me, Dog.

I don't know about that. Datsyuk +41 Zetterberg +30 Holmstrom +9 If I understand what you're trying to say correctly, those stats contradict it.

I hate he Lakers. C's all the way.

I guess that makes a little more sense. But not great though.

He won't play much. I don't mind.

That's the worst list I've ever seen in my entire life and no-one should ever look at it because it will make them stupider in an instant. If you want to see some good hockey players in order you're more likely to see them in a shopping list.

Well, I think you'd be the only person to put Maltby above Draper that season but I agree that Hank is the no. 1 defensive forward on this team. Either way, I'm happy.

Does this really need another thread?

Who did that? He was definitely top 10. You shouldn't have been laughed at for saying top 5.

I think it speaks volumes about the defensive aspect of this team when the 3rd forward we go to on a 5 on 3 PK wins the Selke award. This team is one of a kind. I'm very proud of both Zetterberg and Datsyuk as well as everyone else.

He actually had 23 assists but those aren't exactly impressive numbers. The Frontenacs were pretty bad this year though.

Yeah, seems like he's got spider fingers. Never noticed that. Maybe that's one of the reasons why he's so ridiclulous with the stick handling.

Mine came today. Fits great.
