Would've hated for you to spend that kind of dough and have it be wrong.

Does anybody have link to MLIVE stating that he's officially #81. What proof is there?

Great Video. Thanks very much for posting it. Tune at end was sweet! The kid in the hospital has some sack!!!! LOL. Hope he gets better, no matter who he roots for.

Yup, you are correct. I must've gotten him cornfused with a different Lowe that I saw wearing a Wings jersey. My bad. I'll do more research before I post again. Either way, he didn't say anything really bad about the Wings. It's a compliment and a bit of a response to comments some Toronto guys were saying about the "real" reason why Hossa chose Detroit over Edmonton. At least that's the way I see it. My apologies for thinking Lowe played for the Wings.

Lowe used to play for the Red Wigns, before he got traded to Edmonton in the 80's. If anyone knows about Detroit and winning organization it's him. Lowe is too much of a class act to slam any city. Burke on the other hand is a petty sniveling moron.

Maybe he'll keep it in the teens and go with #15. either way WOW

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!

We all want a good "head job"! (sry couldn't resist)

Ya, I'm fired up too. I hope we get someone good that'll help. It would be really fun to land a big name guy. GO WINGS!!!!

Like an a**hole, just like every other Ducks player.

Yep. The Tigers tried to fix something that wasn't broken, see how that's going. We have our new generation of core players right now. No need to bring in a guy who needs to be the lead gun when we don't need one. JMHO.

Please Kenny, just say NO to Sundin. He's a over-arrogant ****** that has never really been a leader in the playoffs, what little the Leafs got there. I'd rather spend the money for him towards getting Zetterberg tied up long term and tweaking the line-up for next season. No more re-treads, Swedish or not.

Don Cherry dumping on the Wings is nothing new. He's been on their case since Lidstrom, Fedorov & Konstantinov were rookies. It all has to do with foreign players taking NHL spots from North American players. Years ago a local radio station asked him if he really thought the Detroit players were less superior. He said something along the lines off.....I know hockey and I know hockey players, especially very good players. Those guys are very good players, but you have to realize who I work for. The show is called "Hockey Night in Canada" with and emphasis on Canada. No matter what I say on the show, that doesn't change the talent of the player. Not exactly mind you, but that was the jist of it. I heard it myself. Basically his job is to be controversial and colorful, nothing more, raising arguments and adding viewership. If he just sat there and said, yes their good it would be validating the arguments against Canadian players getting a chance because they got replaced by better foreigners. Is there an anti-foreigner sentinment in Canadian hockey? Yes. It's funny, when the Russians were beating up on the Canadian national team, they were the most evil ones around. Now that the Swede's are doing it internationally, they're the most evils one around. Another thing to keep in mind. If you take this entire Wings team and put them in Maple Leafs jersey's then they would be the Gods of hockey. Don't let Cherry take the pride away from you. He did do his job to perfection again though, he created interest through controversy. Otherwise there wouldn't be a 3-page thread on this.
