They were cheap shots when he played for Montreal and Chicago. With Detroit it's just old time hockey. As for La Phew, that's old history. Mac took care of the hit on Draper. Untill he fugs up again he's got a clean slate. Now that doesn't mean I wouldn't keep an eye on him.

Yeah, like that's ever happened before......nevermind

Success breeds success. 30 years ago the only way to get guys to play here was to overpay them. It's nice the pendulum has swung the other way.

I never compared him to Sanders. I compared Sanders to Owens. Obviously your a guy who enjoys excessive celebration so go HOLD your breath at a Caps game. By the way, I held my breath every time Barry got the ball so I guess the way they acted after the fact has no bearing on breathing habits.

I'm with ya pal. I watched the game and both goalies scared the s*** outta me. I'm not sure how many 1-0 games we would come out on top of in the playoffs.

This basically boils down to your either a Barry Sanders kinda guy or a Terrell Owens kinda guy. I lean more towards Barry but to each their own. There's something special to me about a guy who knows he's good w/o all the nonsense. Oh and before it gets started I'm not comparing Ovie to Owens, the football analogy seemed to apply to me.

Holy s***, cant believe that one didnt get in

Howard has made a few good saves tonight

ok, that's one back. Nice one Kopec.

The way they look tonight an evening at Starbucks doesn't seem so bad :blink:

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=3920515 Mac's goal in the SCFs against Philly gets some love. Funny, Ovie's "goal of the year" doesn't make the list. Let the debate begin. Are these your top goals?

Unless they move Pronger at the deadline I'd just as soon not play the Ducks. I hate Pronger. I hate his ass face and I'm going to go and bite my pillow now.

a little salt for that gaping wound Duckies

Zetts makes em pay

nicely done boys

I saw this a couple days ago and was going to post but got sidetracked and forgot. I'm glad someone put it up. This guy is great. If I weren't already a hockey fan this guy could get me to watch. Props to the guy who dug up all the clips to go with this guys one liners. All I gotta say is: POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME!!

I guess someone is going to have to break a hand or gets rammed into the boards again like Draper before the "fighting isn't worth points" crowd sees what it about. Why is this so difficult to grasp. It's not about fighting for fighting's sake. It's about Hossa breaking a hand or getting a concussion falling on the ice during a fight.

I seem to recall winning a Cup with Joey Kocur on the team. What I wouldn't give to have him on the bench again or a reasonable facsimile. Hossa dropping the gloves last night was nice to see in the sense that he is willing to defend himself. If he ever has to do it again I'll be pissed. The facts are that other teams see us as soft, and WILL rough us up. As long as fighting is part of hockey every team needs someone on the bench to take care of bizz. It's not about boxing, it's about teams running our players with no fear of consequences. If people can't see that they are indeed shortsighted.

This list is my greatest Detroit sports moments/memories. 1. Jim Northrop's triple in game 7 of the 68 series against Bob Gibson. 2. U of M, Anthony Carter's catch on the final play to beat Indiana. I'll never forget Ufer's call. To this day I don't think Lee Corso has gotten over it 3. Stevie's 2OT goal against ST. Louis. 4. The Bad Boy's finally getting over the hump in 88/89. 5. The Wings ending the drought in 97 and on home ice.

Born and raised in Michigan and I wish my English skills were so good. To the point I'm not to sure needing to prove something is not so bad a thing to need.

Either the writer or the veterans need to STFU and go sit in the truck.

Congrats Mr. Helm on your first reg. season pt.

Okay, we gots 2 chances at that free arby sammie, lets go boys.

unf***ing believable

If we win it there is no gap.
