I sure hope your right, because this is the first year I remember myself thinking that these guys are not going far...Flip the switch please.

Amen brother...

Not trying to put words into your mouth but are you implying we are just as well off with a Howard/Osgood tandem as a Howard/Rask, Howard/Reimer, Howard/Dubnyk ? Because I feel that's crazy, I love Ozzy but with all the talent coming up in the league we should really be looking onward...I love you Oz but when its time its time...

This thread makes me feel sad. If Vancouver had a new tradition I'd say it would be annoying me.

This is what I remember of Hossa and always will. This topic of discussion is ridiculous, Franzen signed here for 1,320,455 per annual caphit UNDER Hossa. Better not see you guys around here cheering when Franzen scores 1.5 average (at least) again this year...

Have the day off and cant wait to see this game! LGW I hope Joey Mac stands on his brain and Z scores the double hatty

Please, please, please do not lose to the maple leafs...please. LGW

I couldn't agree more, no way could Osgood come in after playing 11 games and lead us to victory....but I still believe Jimmy can. LGW

So I guess we wont see you around these boards again any time soon as you clearly stepped over that line

Or maybe you have to move out of Candada and head to LA

First of all I am sorry to hear about your grandmother, thats never easy. I didnt try to imply you didnt watch the games, you have always have impressed me with your knowledge of the game. I was however implying you were not watching the right parts of the game and focusing on Howards occasional brain fart is a waste of time. The team has not been playing focused (the whole team) some guys show up some nights and some dont, Howard shows up during the game and he drops the ball at times so to speak. The one good thing we should all be able to agree on is when he lets in a s***ty goal he tends to make some pretty incredible stops shortly there after and not getting rattled in the nhl is huge plus. Thus allowing the team in front of him to get back into the game, sometimes they do and sometimes they dont. The Wings will get back on track and Howie will not let them down.

Maybe they would rather have Blake or Kessel for 5 mil.....

Well unfortunatley Im not sure anyone has a concrete answer on how to get players to respect one another more. Is it by suspensions? Enforcers doing there jobs more? or does it start with there parents and upbringing? But the funny thing about people complaining about respecting each other on this thread is 50% of people said yes this is a bad idea for a poll........ perhaps the respect starts with us.

Are you serious? If so I feel sorry for you, I just saw the game and Im might be bias as I ******* have straight up man love for Howard but he made a half a dozen insane stops last nite. The Goalie situation should be one the last problems on your mind right now if you actually watched the game.

Thats what I was just thinking, I know four different guys from my small little town who are currently getting Orr jerseys made up. Hes a great guy and I hope comes back as strong as ever.

Holy smokes, that was intense! History aside with Chara that hit looked like he knew what he was doing for sure, that is by far the worse "headshot" I have ever seen I think. Is Pacioretty ok?

For a while now I have been wondering if Nick does retire this year who gets the C for real? Z has always been the one they have hinted towards, and people across this board often say Z as well. However when it comes down to it, Dats is a better choice in my mind. He is arguably the best player in the game right now, playmaker, dangler, sniper, PK & PP specialist and defends his team mates (I dont want to see him actually drop the gloves again for a while but that was awesome). The thing people have often said is the language barrier, but I think that is really an issue anymore. So I expect to my Datsyuk Jersey I order in the near future to come with a C on it

That's who I was thinking of when people brought up the language barrier lol

Im cool with that as well. I knew we would find common ground

I can just tell... your a dick arnt you?

That was perfect. I also agree Hank will get it, I guess I was silly to think it was an interesting topic to discuss...

Wouldnt attack avatars if I was you...Its a discussion not a Lidstrom bash, that doesnt even make sense.

After seeing myself I thought no doubt about it. Then it showed Stolls reaction to the same replay and I almost fell off the couch at the sight of him pounding on the glass, what the hell did he see??lol
