Holy hot bat s***! Anyone here ever play a round of golf in years past or attend the dinner? Looks great!

- Phillies = $98,269,881. That figure puts them 13th in the MLB in total payroll. Salary's don't always equal titles. - "Parity"

What the title says: Marian Hossa comes to Detroit to win the Stanley Cup What the title does NOT say: Marian Hossa comes to Detroit to win the Stanley Cup the very first year, guaranteed.

- Losing the banner raising/season opener at home to the Laughs. - Attending my first two Wings games at the Joe. - Ozzie's huge post-season turnaround - Lilja's concussion - Pav's great season/terribly timed playoff injury - Nik's "lower body injury" in the playoffs - Crosby's s*** talk of Pav and Nik at the All-Star Game - Cleary's goal against the Ducks - Helm's goal against the Hawks - HAVSPLAT! - Having to read all the classless posts on Facebook/MySpace/LGW from Pens fans who forget what winning with dignity is like and behaving like it's the last time this trophy will be awarded.

Get off your ass and provide it yourself. Sifting through your hundreds of bulls*** posts isn't his responsibility. Defend what you post.

You said your case was rested ass-hat.

You're resting your case one article written by one person who works for Sports Illustrated? Classic.

This person already knew this, but simply chose to leave it out of this bait post.

Yes I saw the play. I also saw the result...nothing. The difference with me is that i don't post useless, baiting, s*** posts about nothing plays. If we're talking about Dats now, where's your "top post" regarding his flawless sacuer pass to Cleary in the third?

- I'm not your "pardner". f*** off. - My point, which you have ignored, is that he's already had more success in Detroit. If you don't know the difference between 1 win away and 10 wins away, why don't you ask the other 14 teams in this years playoffs.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Foolish? Last year he was 2 wins away from a Cup, this year he is 1 win away. It's been a better result already. Also, if you're going to quote someones reply, reference at least ONE point they make in your arguement.

Please, save yourself the trouble and don't bother using reason with this poster regarding Marian Hossa.

If it wasn't for the refs having a whistle party we would have won. And did anyone forget about Z's post?

Marian Hossa

hahahahaahha. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! How original. You're here talking about calls and Hossa.

In my mind, there are several reasons to be optimistic that we'll keep the Cup at home on Friday: - Crosby and Malkin have been held pointless since Datsyuk's return. - Our PK has improved over the last few games. - Osgood has been nothing short of mind-blastingly awesome. - We're playing Game 7 at HOME. The biggest point I want to make is that this is a Stanley Cup Final Game 7 and not simply a series elimination game. In all respect to the Pens team, I just don't think they have the "put down" capabilities to overcome this team in a game of this magnitude and even the guys they brought in to give their team some experience (Guerin, Kunitz) haven't even been factors. Both teams are obviously going to have some nerves going into this game, but I firmly believe that the Wings will not only win, but they'll once again demonstrate why they are the champs. GO WINGS GO!!!

...and he acted accordingly.

Who are you and what have you done with mindfly?

This doesn't make it 100% but here's what TSN is reporting: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=280978

Youth you say? Didn't our AHL team put us up 2-0 in the first place?
