#18 the _Hoss_

According to the Detroit Free Press Mike Modano WILL be signing with the wings! This gives us unparalleled depth for our first three lines and I just can't wait to see him score in red and white on Turco in a Blackhawks uniform!

To me, the 2009 Red Wings, 2009 Penguins, and even the 8 seeded 2009 Ducks were all better than the 2010 Blackhawks.
Dont get me wrong, the Preds and Canucks are nice teams but they arent elite by any means.. The Sharks series was impressive, but come on, they are perennial chokers. The Sharks were outscored in a series against a Wings team decimated by the salary cap. Lastly, the Flyers made a cinderella run in a very weak conference.
Maybe Im underestimating them, however I just dont think they had to beat any elite teams this playoff,and I still think the Wings of last year would have beat them pretty easily.
I think this was the easiest road to the cup in the last 10-15 years? What do you guys think?

Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. So because chicago won the cup they get an extra 2 million to pay out for possible more talented people in the free market, giving them a lot better chance at winning the cup again the next year. It also means teams like florida, toronto, islanders who are getting good draft picks won't be able to make the finals due to a lower salary. Time for this topic gets thrown in the trash.

Are we still on for tonight big boy?

Screw you for being a playoff choker.

i read and i hate all of you

You are acting like he is a scrub in comparison to Pronger, which is ironic because you are a scrub in comparison to Burish.
So he called Pronger an idiot? Boo hoo. He said he would punch him? Boo hoo. He said he played terrible? Well I didn't see Pronger as much of a gamebreaker out there except for that wonderful high sticking penalty that caused the first Chicago goal.
Big ******* deal.

What NHL team do you play for again?

Luc Robitaille says hello.

You sure? 12 goals 14 assists in 08 isn't really a "no-show". And no Crosby didn't inflate his point total because, believe it or not, he's not the godsend everyone thinks he is. In 09 he was hurt(though most refuse to acknowledge it) and in 10 he put up some points in the Fianl. And even if he wasn't, as others have said before, he was making plays and providing a strong forecheck and backcheck.

LOL at a Hawks fan visiting a Red Wings forum the day after his team wins the Cup. Even when they win the Cup, they're more concerned with the Red Wings.
Hawks fans are such a joke.

LOL. You guys have been talking about the Hawks all playoffs long. This is basically like another source of Hawks information for me. hypocrite

i loled

Did you lol when he raised the Cup too?

congrats Hoss! thanks for the memories and good luck drinking with your mates in Stara Lubovna!
gratulácie!

Hate him or love him, good for him. Never would have happened on the Atlanta Thrashers. Gotta have respect, nothing like the Cup.

I wish Hossa had won the Cup as a Wing but good for him. Finally.
Moving on now... healthy Wings in 2011 = Cup.

I'm still extremely disappointed that he s*** the bed here when it mattered most.

Yay for you hoseass! You finally leeched your way to a cup on your third try!
Go go s***town on your long ass contract for a underperformer, better you than us!

YEah, they won it because of hossa. Yeah, OK. Good one, you really burned me with that gem.
