Doc Holliday

Wow calm down there tiger. I misread the loyalty portion, but it still stands. Holland was able to have his cake and eat it too. He got rid of cap space but was able to get Hudler when the cap space opened up. Your notion is still unfounded.

No. The standings right now are used to determine a team's success relative to their conference. The only way this would work is if conferences were abolished and teams played against each other almost equally (other than division rivals).

It screams "I have my own needs as well" and Holland understood that since HE SIGNED HIM TO A CONTRACT WITH THE ARBITRATION. If Holland thought Hudler would be screwing us he wouldn't have bothered with it. You can't f*** yourself over simply because the team is in a tight jam. It isn't Hudler's fault the Wings were in a tough cap situation. That is on Holland and for him to figure out. People are making such a big deal out of something that was agreed upon by the two parties involved. Holland WANTS him back.

Idiota signore buono mio.

How is Hudler going to Moscow for one or two years then coming back with an already planned out contract to play for the Wings a lack of loyalty? He went for a couple years of tax-free salary (something the vast majority of players can't even get after taxes in the NHL) and agreed to be a Detroit Red Wing when he returned. Lack of loyalty would be bolting to the highest bidder in the NHL and never playing in a Wings sweater again.

Here's a hint: If you want to look objective, don't sign up on these forums with a username like that. You aren't doing yourself any favors. Of course this is probably a hit and run post anyway, so I doubt we will be seeing your dumb ass again.

A "Bigger fish" isn't going to sign for less than 3 mil. Hudler is going to have a much better season than Dan Cleary, who is being paid the same.

Fiddler has no reason to bash the refs after his piss poor performance. What a ******* moron.

I can tell.

Odds are Crosby is going to score in this game. Then LGW will explode.

Come on guys. The goal will stand if the net is still on the pegs but lifted. If the net comes OFF before the puck goes in then it is a no goal. Makes sense because the referee is supposed to blow the whistle for the net coming off, and since it was the first thing to happen the play stops there. Easy call, surprised it took so long.

BAAHH!!!

Crosby going to the dressing room. CBC is saying it may be a broken nail.

Varlamakov? Wow Don, at least try.

Man what a save.

Senators are playing possessed right now.

Man after looking at that again Fleury just gave up on the play.

1-0 Sens. Great pass.

Tada!

Nashville doesn't have Phoenix's passion and forecheck. They play more of a trap system than Tippett does. I think if the roles were switched I think both teams would matchup better. Chicago has much better top to bottom talent and can easily exploit the Yote's forecheck (something that kills the Wings most of the time) and the Wings have made it a habit to beat the Predators.

Who cares what the media says? This is the same media that votes in a guy like Mike Green for top 3 in the Norris. The same media that called Chris Osgood the worst goaltender to win a cup. The same media that predicted the Wings would be done without Yzerman, Shanahan, Fedorov, etc. Howard only needs to prove himself to the Detroit ******* Red Wings. He is doing it right now, regardless of the team in front of him.

Oh hey! Where were you the last couple times the Wings beat Chicago in the regular season? Do you only come here to gloat after a win because your team is unstoppable? It amazes me you aren't banned.

Lol Preds give Hossa his first goal of the playoffs.

I'm half expecting for Hossa to get a breakaway off the penalty and score here.

Wow Legwand the logo destroyer.
