I read that at one time. Smoking wasn't his thing, it got in the way of drinking.

Bobby Hull

Terry Sawchuk was a light smoker.

Kyle Quincey celebrating like a pimp!

Guy Lafleur was a chain smoker.

Not sure how your having words being put in your mouth, but okay. And secondly, Sean Avery's purpose on the ice, is not identical of a Daniel Carcillo. Avery is a proven moron, who has somehow found a place in the game. And is actually good at what he does. Carcillo goes around looking for a fight, like a bully. Gifted player or not, Carcillo is not equipped to carry Gretzky's luggage. And to take a quote from Gretzky like you did, and use it as a valid arguing point is laughable. What coach, while being interviewed, at one point doesn't say something nice about one of his players? And in response to the Carcillo goal video you needed to further your baseless argument, I can't sit here and say it wasn't a good goal. But I can say that you probably didn't have to search long for that. Why don't you do some research and hit the stats page one of these days.

You honestly believe he is out there for any other reason? Open your eyes. A minus 16 in his career and 782 pim. Gifted fighter maybe.

Carcillo is a piece of crap. Limited hockey skills like big George. This is where the fight skeptics come out, and say 'enough of the fighting'. These ****** bags take it to a whole new level, that doesn't need to be reached.

Laraque done

I happened to be with a couple of friends at a bar/club in Orange County, back in 2007. We were pretty intoxicated, when Pronger, Getzlaf, and a couple of others walked in. I told them congrats, I was a Wings fan, and the Anaheim still sucked. It was loud, Pronger barely made out what I was saying, and had a strange look on his face, as I touched the Cup and walked away. I told Getzlaf, "enjoy it while you got it, cause it's your last"! I believe he heard me, but not quite sure. Good drunk times!

Although it has been nice to have our team to be a lone arena of not carrying a corporate partner in it's name. It's almost mandatory in this time to carry a partner, and chip in. If I am correct MSG is the only other arena to not be partnered up. But that is NY city. NY can survive, not so sure about Detroit in the long run.

Gotta love Hollands take on the goal. Though no words, maybe just an action. From Kuklas Korner

It's got to be pricey. But cheaper then the 10 million dollar fix in an arena that they don't want to be in.

I always thought that was a little strange and useles to do. The person below me has seen the Plymouth Whalers play in person.

Midnight Special - CCR

He caught an errant puck while he was on the bench during a game. It ended up breaking his cheek bone. Now this. Sounds like this season in Detroit.

This is the one I was thinking of a well. I hate Granato.

This ^^^^^^ well put Harold

It would be crazy not to welcome Huds back at his salary and ability. He knows the Red Wings system, which is known as being a completely different system, as well as a complex one. Bertuzzi said that was one of the reasons he struggled his first go a round with the Wings.

I can't think of a recent trade that was horrible in the past decade. But the Red Wings traded Adam Oates and Paul MacLean to the St. Louis Blues for Bernie Federko and Tony McKegney back in 1989. So basically they shipped off a 36 goal scorer, line mate of Steve Yzerman, for an out of shape washed up winger, who in turn played 14 games, and was a complete locker room cancer. He wanted the leadership role on the team, but Steve was already the man here. Frustrated , Federko retired after that season. Oates went on to set up Hull and Neely with a great career. The Flyers also traded Forsberg, Duschene, Hextall a first rounder, plus a couple other players including Chris Simon to Quebec for Lindros. No Cup in Philly, but the Nords moved to Colorado and won the Cup within two years. This deal also set up the Roy to Colorado deal. Because that first rounder that was involved with the Lindros trade, was Thibault. Thibault with two others were traded to Montreal for Roy and Mike Keane. And if you remember Roy had a falling out with Tremblay, Montreal's coach at the time for him leaving Roy in the game when your Detroit Red Wings smoked him and the Habs 11-1 that night in Montreal. So I guess you can say these trades are all just one big circle jerk if you will. Sorry I went on so long here, I just wrote a blog the other day on this topic.

These Kings are almost unreal right now. They are doing everything right. Anyone watching this game? San Jose looks stunned. They don't look like a team that has won 8 straight.

Kings get out shot 47 to 20, but still win 6-2.
