And that is supposed to make a difference? I hate Sidney Crosby and think he's a piece of s***, but if someone on this team broke his neck, I sure as hell wouldn't be happy about it. Some things are beyond the pall.

Classy. I'm sure if fans of some other team said that Pavel Datsyuk deserved the "Steve Moore treatment", you'd fall into a coma. Anywho, it was great to see the Wings pull this off. Beating the Pens is always satisfying, no matter when the game is played.

Who said I was talking about a doctor? I don't recall using that word anywhere in my post. If I know you're suicidal and I give you the means to commit suicide, either by shooting yourself, hanging yourself, OD'ing.....I absolutely can be taken to court by your family and I'd say 9 times out of 10, the jury will hand down a punishment of some kind to me, either criminal, civil or both. BTW, if my post was apparently "nonsense", you shouldn't have wasted my time and yours by responding.

If I hand you a loaded gun and say "see that guy over there? He tried to rape your sister" and then you go shoot the guy.....I'm going to jail just as much as you are. I'm an accessory to the crime. The same as if I know you're suffering from deep depression or some other kind of mental illness and I hand you a loaded gun or a knife or a bottle of pills and you kill yourself.....I'm partially to blame. I gave you the instruments which caused your death. Your family could sue me in civil court. And probably win. Culpability, be it civil or criminal, doesn't stop at the person who physically committed the act. "I was just following orders" is not a winning defense. If Crawford told Bertuzzi to do it, that's pre-meditation at the least. Everyone involved with this whole debacle are a bunch of sleazebags, save Moore.

So it's Babcock's fault now? Hoo boy.

Can't disagree with that choice. Basically any honor he could be given at this point, he more than deserves.

No they weren't but it wasn't intentionally set up that way just to screw us over. Bettman is stupid, douchey and full of crap but to pull something like this off requires a level of intelligence he doesn't have.

Take off your tin foil, the league wasn't conspiring to keep Detroit from winning. Stuff like this actually does our team a great disservice rather than backing them up. Stop it. It's embarrassing. We lost because Pittsburgh wanted it more, played harder and generally out-skated us. It happens. There's no shame in admitting it happened to us. Don't hide behind this utter bullcrap that Gary Bettman wanted Crosby/Malkin to win so bad, he effed us over since it wouldn't have happened any other way. I swear to God, it's like some people just can't accept we got outplayed and have to make excuses rather than saying the truth.

For God's sake, it's September 23rd. Time to move on already. It sucked. However it sucked then, and it's not then anymore. This isn't the first time we've lost in the Cup Finals and it probably won't be the last. That doesn't mean we still need to dwell on it and be upset about it and hang on to it like a death in the family. It's okay to say you're over it and you're ready for the new season to start. Really.

I doubt they do as well, that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen. Rapists and women who falsely accuse men of rape are just lower than sewer sludge.

If the rape allegations are true, and he really committed this heinous act, he should be summarily castrated. Nothing else will do for such scum. If the allegations are false and the woman made up the claims for whatever reason, she should be sterilized. That kind of cruelty, stupidity and lack of human empathy should not be passed on to future generations.

Washington. Datsyuk/Zetterberg vs. Ovechkin would be hella fun to watch and I don't hate the guy so if Washington were to win, it wouldn't suck nearly as bad as if we had to play the damn Penguins AGAIN.

Wings win, Pavs with the hat trick, you know the drill. Had to substitute Pavs' name in there for Hank's since he's not playing tonight.

It's a shame I can't watch any of these games, but I'm still glad to see we won. Wings victories are always wonderful.

More like 12.

Those seriously look like broke-down, Dollar Store photos. Those backgrounds are worse than the ones I had to choose from for school pictures when I was in grammar school. The dude in the middle looks like Mike Modano, but whoever he is, he looks like a predator climbing through someone's open window. In the first picture, Kane looks like he took a few downers and got propped in front of the camera in the 3rd picture, he looks like he's tweaking. Who the hell greenlighted that nonsense and why haven't they been fired yet?

Lay off the poor horse, would you? It's already dead.

I like Boston's design. It looks more "retro" than what Philadelphia is using, and therefore I think best exemplifies the idea of using retro jerseys. The black nameplates on the back of the Philly jerseys look horrid.

You don't know what the word "rebuilding" means, do you? See, in order to go through a rebuilding phase, you had to have phenomenal successes followed by phenomenal failures on your way to phenomenal successes again. Basically the valley of the "peaks and valleys" analogy. I don't see how that applies here. We are still essentially the same team as last year. If we were truly in a "rebuilding" phase, we'd have about 3 players from last season and a bunch of call-ups and rookies. Since that's not what's going on here.....you're more than a little off-base.

Boy, I can't wait for the season to start.

Instead of using a prior design, couldn't they have come up with a new one once they realized that hey......the uniforms haven't changed much? There has to be at least one person in Philadelphia who could have made a real snappy, interesting design for the WC jerseys.

WTH? Detroit's Winter Classic jersey looked nothing like the jersey they wear for all their other games. That looks 99% accurate to what the Flyers wear anyway. Lame, stupid, lazy. Someone fell asleep at the creative wheel on that one.

Haha, with what money? BTW, you want to pay for the drugs it'll take to get me on an airplane? Not to mention my passport since I don't have one.

Bring it, you fat tub of goo.
