    Will Filppula hit 40 points?

    I think Flip will get 40+ lol at the if you take this player and gave him attributes from this player, the other player be an even better player. Really? Just because someone spends alot of time around something doesnt necessarily make you have a higher acumen for the subeject in question. And how do you know that if you gave Huds Hossa body size and skating ability it wouldnt have changed Huds work ethic and personality. Hudler may have raw talent but b/c he is small and a bad skater he would have to work harder then say a Hossa who can skate and has the body size. And your assessment isnt that hard to make so until you find a cure for lets say cancer, then get over yourself. Well if you gave Chara, Lidstrom's hockey smarts well then Chara would be so uber theyd have to make a new league just for him

    DET-PIT Post-Game Discussion

    This is why some people call you a troll You say Jimmy lost his composure but then you say that you like seeing Crosby get into a scrum, really that was a scrum? Ive seen 10 yr olds in a roller league with more manhood then Sid. Sid could "Pronger" somebody and Carman would defend him to the end. And NBC (not the company the poster ) its posters like you that give guys like Carman a reason to argue and validity in those arguments, for the sake of the other posters hold you tongue, actually more like sit on your hands. Also im proud Jimmy got in his face somebody has to put that punk in his place

    idk if he is a FA or if the wings could get him but id like to see Sharp in red and he could even play the point just like babs likes

    Wings Transactions You Loved Which Unfortunately Failed

    Hatcher and Hossa both times a friend texted me we had signed them and i was like "Hell yes!" Id like to add that at certain times during the playoffs even though he wasnt scoring Hossa was one of the most noticable Wings it was just the combination of him and Dats mostly not scoring and the injuries

    Ovie Suspended

    idk why people are still saying Cooke needs to be punished. Why what rule did he break, even though it was a malicious hit and knowing Cookes history he probably did have intent to injure, you cant punish him. It would be like you getting a speeding ticket on a road/highway with no speed limit. Like the Chewbaca defense it just doesnt make sense

    Ovie ejected

    I agree that the Richards and Cooke hit were dirtier but at the time the wasnt a rule against those kind of hits. Its like going 100 mph down a speed limitless road is it smart? no safe? no illegal? no Ovies hit there is a rule that says you cant do this so thats why people are making a big deal about it

    Ovie ejected

    I think Stamkos would work or maybe even Tavares as a side note you see Stamkos hit on Cooke

    Ovie ejected

    i see alot off people saying that Ovie should be the face of the league not Sid. here is the question who do you want to rep the NHL if your the boss you've got Ovie: Great player arugably the best but he tends to have lapses in judgement and he doesnt always show concern for other players. Some ppl even say he is borderline dirty Sid: another great player but he is a bit of a whiner and he doesnt always show respect for other players and youve got to remember you have to attract new fans so i really dont think at this point in both their careers neither is the optimal choice to market So i say Bettman should market Lebda. Lebda action figures FTW

    2010 NHL Trade Deadline Thread - March 3rd, 3:00 PM ET

    Brian Burke- as much as people hate him this guy has won a cup and made a pretyy damn good in in Ana Mike Gillis - really what has he done beside signing Loungo and the Sedins George McPhee - he drafted Ovi he must be a good GM Ray Shero- you give any team the picks they got (Sid, Geno, Fleury and Staal) and they be pretty competitive Brian Murray - done a good job so far but lets see how he does when he goes through a big transition phase Darcy Regier- Good GM does a lot with a little but in a what have you done for me lately society still hasnt done anything lately Dave Poile- Same a Regier Lou Lamorello - The only guy id even consider putting above Holland Sutter- Really again a guy has a bunch a talent but doesnt have anything thing else to his name. You can say he was part of finding Kipper and yea he signed Robyn cheap but has he won a cup? Now our boy Holland- Wins without any major draft picks, Won a cup in 2002 three seasons before the Cap. Won in 2008 three years after the cap pretty good considering Detroit was usually a big spender when it came to free agency. Ok so maybe Ken did over look guys like Nabby and Kipper but guys like Sutter overlooked guys like Pavs, Hank and Fanzen

    USA Sets Winter Olympic Medal Record

    i think US is gonna be a bigger player in Winter Oly because we can actual compete in the Nordic events now which we use to be the laughing stock in. Congos to both countries for all the medals they won

    Fighting and Olympic Hockey

    the reason the games are more exciting is because of the talent not the lack of fighting. When you have 4 lines of top talent or near top talent guys. You see more action then when you have two NHL 4th lines just bogging down and slowing the pace of the game down

    Theme Songs

    Never seen this done so why not lets give players theme songs according to their play style, personality or how we feel about them Brett Lebda - American Idiot Jiri Hudler - Bye Bye Bye Tomas Kopecky - Paparazzi (the chorus makes me lol "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you til you love me") Sidney Crosby - Holy Diver Bettman - I Hope You Die Theo Fleury - Institutionalized Brad May - Boom Boom Pow
