I hope he burns in hockey hell.

My inner psychic, I'll name it Marie, tells me that the Wings may have a future third line of Tatar-V. Filppula-Nyquist. Even though these crystal ball lines that include today's prospects probably change every week in Marie's prophecies, on paper that looks exciting if Tatar and Nyquist can do what they do at the NHL level.

He already has a contract. Does that mean they want him in GR next season or can he play another year in the CHL and not have it count towards his contract? And hey Aussie, or Filppula (HF, ), I updated the Stephen Johnston thread and I was sure you would have something to say about that. Nope?

He actually agrees with you in that manner. His main contention, at least for Hudler's case, seems to be against that very philosophy of defining a scoring line center's responsibilities as having at the bare minimum decent size, speed, never a question about their work ethic, overall hockey sense and above average defensive aptitude. Some teams don't require that much. The real question is which of those teams are competing for the top of their division and or conference? (And how do we force Eva and his notorious purposelessness to those team's boards so we don't have to put up with his bulls***?) There doesn't seem to be many, if any at all. If you look at most of the teams who are in position for a playoff spot and if their 1st or 2nd line center doesn't have size, he can at least skate. And in today's game that's extremely important. Hudler has ONE thing going for him that might be able to compete with the other 1st and 2nd line centers among playoff teams and that's hockey sense in the offensive zone. If hockey was only a turn-based game of power plays then I'm sure Eva could send out the pokeball containing Hudler and he could play center just fine. Unfortunately we also have to deal with something called reality every now and again so there goes that. Here comes a list of names and statistics and a bunch more nonsense...

Toskala is at least Finnish. Shoutout to all the Finnish fans and fans of Finnish players on here, wooo!

I'm not exactly sure if he's the goalie I'd select to start a franchise but for some reason I thought of Bryz right away before I even looked at that list.

I have a lot of friends from Pittsburgh and it didn't take long to learn just how crazy they are about their sports teams. My goodness. It's like a whole new personality. Sometimes it seems as if it doesn't matter how much of a scumbag a certain athlete is. If they even feel the slightest bit of threat then a good majority of them exhibit a symptom that is a cross between Johnnie Cochran and John McEnroe. Denial with animation. They actually might be the most "loyal" fans in America but it's pretty extreme.

I actually thought people on here were going to chew me out for that comment for being too harsh or whatever. Oh well. There's still time.

I wouldn't be against making it illegal for him to play hockey at all. But that's me.

Just cuz...

Not sure right now but he's probably from Finland.

Latest news I've heard is that he got an MRI on his knee while the team practiced. Getting a little antsy here in regards to the topic. EDIT: Below. Should anyone change the title/2nd title of the thread?

That looks familiar.

Muhahahaha...

+1 Like I said I think a month ago... Some Wings fans simply can't help but hate on him.

Maybe he realized that he didn't want to be part of the reality show circus that guys like Pierre and Milbury create out there. One calls the other a soccer Mom and all of sudden they just start screaming muff cabbage.

Really? Maybe it depends on the topic. Plus I don't think you can be a regular poster on LGW and NOT be pessimistic every now and again. +1. It's a decent song for a ringtone. Better than any pop song that's out these days. You're probably being sarcastic but in all seriousness we usually hear something by now.

Where the hell do you get that impression?

No word yet huh? Starting to get worried that it's a really serious injury.

You guys are overreacting. Cooke is just a good ol North American boy whose aggression is misunderstood.

It's gonna take a lot to take me away from youuu / There's nothing that a hundred men or more could eva dooo / I bless the rains down in Africaaa / Gonna take some time to do the things we never have...

Yeah I don't know where that came from. Is there a source? I mean, I watched his media scrum on the Red Wings TV website and I can't recall anything like that.

It's part of having a humble mind.
