Bring Back The Bruise Bros

skill+grit=championships take a look at history

o come on man seriously?how did we win in 2008?with skill AND grit.get real

Did he retire?thats what ive been hearing?maybe he went to the KHL

hmmm..how about: Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Filppula-Cleary Bertuzzi-Helm-Eaves Williams-Draper-Leino Holmstrom on the 1st line,otherwise hes not very effective if hes nt w Datsyuk..Leino on the 4th line?lines will b up in the air w all the skill

thanx lol..i mean look at our past championship teams,they all included a balanced combination of skill and grit/toughness 2008-datsyuk,zetterberg,franzen,filppula,lidstrom-skill mccarty,drake,helm-grit 2002-yzerman,fedorov,larionov,lidstrom-skill shanahan,mccarty,draper,maltby-grit 1998-yzerman,fedorov,kozlov,lidstrom,larionov-skill shanahan,mccarty,kocur,lapointe,draper,maltby-grit 1997-yzerman,fedorov,kozlov,larionov-skill shanahan,mccarty,kocur,lapointe,draper,maltby,konstantinov-grit as for 2009/2010,i dont see much balance in our potential lineup

Agreed. i really wouldve liked to see Roy here,but i guess were sticking w the soft european girlscout group we got 4 now

well ik its a little late now w the bertuzzi signing, but some unsigned tough guys include: Scott Parker(the dude above) Andre Roy Mitch Fritz Andrew Peters Darren McCarty Jesse Boulerice Aaron Downey D.J. King

The thing that idiots like penns fans dont realize is Mellon Arena only holds about 17,000..The Joe holds over 20,000..Detroit IS and always will be Hockeytown.enough said

Let him ***** n moan all he wants..he had enough opportunities

yeah thats one thing i nvr could understand..hes a little girlscout and imo bertuzzi,even w his declining production and effectiveness,is still a better player than hudler hands down

agreed. Nick has a couple years left in him. Unfortunately, Holmstrom isnt anywhere near as effective as he once was. and as much as i like Maltby, he will prolly hang em up after this year

Personally, i dnt think hes worth $1.5 m. I wouldve liked to see it 1 year, $1m. but ur rite, he'll still put up some points

i think helm,but i wouldnt be surprised if williams outscores him due to pp time
