I am sure they are like all replica jerseys you can get Avs suck on the back if you want. But then again you already knew that and are trying to get into an Yzerman debate on every thread!
-
Probably going to grab a Forsberg or Fedorov. Just Kidding!!!!! I think I am going to have to grab a #5 jersey

They constantly make jokes about hockey, for example: During PTI, Wilbon will say something like, or on around the horn when Tim Calishaw (sp) talks about hockey the host and the other reporters all s*** on him for talking about hockey. Sportcenter never craps on hockey that blatantly but they do it by barely ever showing Hockey highlights.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=216878&hubname=nhl Alright so it is not the death of the team but this hurts them badly.
-
Yeah you don't need a crystal ball for that one!
-
Of Course one was a great hockey player for the Wings and the other is an all world talent. Of Course, that is like saying You still take Jordan instead of Sam Bowie!! Not that bad I was exaggerating but the point is Shanny is not Jagr.

Correct me if I am wrong, because I may be, but I didn't think any of Stevie's injuries were really caused by others. Wasn't crashing the net and then once he caught an edge. So therefore I am not sure your point applies, in this situation. The only time I remember some one trying to really hurt him was Pronger and he got the worse end of that deal. Again I could be wrong but I thought Stevie's injuries were accidental as opposed to say Samuelson taking out Cam.

To me Erickson (to get Chelios) > Bertuzzi Notice not Erickson > Bert Obviously on draft day they have no idea how that would work out, just saying in hindsight. Sorry that sounds like I was arguing with you, I am not, I am just thinking through my keyboard.

First off welcome to the boards. Now this quote I found in that post almost had me spitting coke out of my nose and on to the keyboard not only is it funny, but it is a true as they come.

The fact that Lids logs nearly 30 minutes a game and has for a long time is another feature that I think people forget when doing a comparison like this. 27:29 last year of ATOI for lids and 20:46 for Sid the Kid. Again they play different positions so it is not a natural comparison like rw to rw. I guess it is like the MVP trophy the V is what gets you every time, what makes Sid more valuable to his team is offense and what makes Lids more valuable is his all around game and having him be able to skate in the waining minutes of a game instead of a #6 d-man. Apples meet Oranges.

I would make the argument that Thornton is better than Sid, what was Cheecho before Joe Thornton. Sid is great and will be the best in the league shortly and will hold that title for a long time, but Joe is great leader and a tremendous talent. Crosby will one day be a great captain/leader as well as a statistical machine. For my money Thornton Crosby Lids And like many have said before me, it is all debatable. You have criteria that makes so and so better and I have mine. This list is all about preferences and if it was compiled by Defenseman it would look different than if compiled by forwards or Goalies and even more different if done by owners or coaches or reporters.

That was sort of the point F.

Holy s*** I remember those two! How friggin funny. Man some of the trolls that have patrolled these boards.

55fan, he is so good that they are taking the number down from the rafters. It hasn't been announced yet because they have to consult with the legal department and the family.

Basketball would have been a better reference in that argument GMRwings. I know you were exaggerating but the only time in baseball anyone person competes against another is pitcher and batter. Plus in basketball last year Steve Nash (a canadian no wonder he took it so well) took a wicked check from Robert Horry although the fights in Baseball are a little more like hockey fights, in basketball it is a bunch of guys looking to sucker punch and run. I agree with NN, having a fighter to have a fighter is bad business practice. This is why Sean Avery got what he got for money and why many of you think he deserves more. He has shown offensive talent (with more than just his mouth) and he will agitiate, however he fights about as often as Maltby.

100% I think it is drw02!!! He may not be but his is a spitting image of him!!
-
So you can hate soccer for whatever reason you deem appropriate, however he cannot think that the habs logo sucks. Hmm interesting.
-
Much like it had nothing to do with the wings losing the series to Anaheim, fighting has nothing to do with those empty seats. Sure maybe a few people would say that if there were more fights they would go more. But those seats were empty due to: economic distress Corporations owning a lot of the lower bowl. Fighting is not the reason for every short coming the wings may have experienced in the past 10 years.
-
Man the gambling influence made it from NJ to PHO, and even though Tocchet wasn't throwing games he still got sucked into it. From a pretty large distance at that.
-
5 votes for the wings, well for right now, I am sure I will throw a few more in throughout the day.
-
Ummm Liv was a goaltender, are you suggesting the wings cut a player who at the time was the supposed future of the wings in the net, to get a fighter on the ice. Wow if that is true you should send some of your insults your own way. Edit: Also does Dallas Drake not address toughness in any way shape or form. He can throw down, because he hasn't done it a ton lately doesn't mean he can't or won't. Also he has shown an edgy side to his play with hits in the recent past. As a Celtic's fan I have heard many times McHale, Bird, and Parish aren't walking through the gym to save the team, so to you I say Kocur and Probert aren't walking through the door and no one like them is available as a free agent.
-
Right you are eva, and I am assuming that the toughness related to fighting is related to what I said about standing up for each other. I never said they were tough I said they have each others back, that is all. If you were not talking about that than ignore this post!!!

In order for an expansion team to go to vegas wouldn't the league need atleast 2 if not 4 more teams. That would thin the league way too much!!!! Move a team like Pheonix, it would still be some what local and not completely change the set up. Expansion is a bad idea.

OsGod sarcasm, no way!!!

I think the hope was that Calder would be like Cleary, it didn't seem to rejuvenate him (the trade) so babs sat him down. Which is fine with me, he, babs, knew when to cut back lang's minutes, I have faith in him. I am not saying he is my favorite coach of all time but he is better than Dave Lewis and at least half of the other coaches in the league. I am just hoping Hudler does something to show him he deserves more minutes. If he puts up the same points with increased minutes, then put him back down in the depth chart, but I think he earned a chance to show what he has to offer.
