Doc Holliday

You know what, if Hall didn't like the hit, let him go for Doughty. You don't need to fight everyone's battles.

Can't say there was really a soft one for him. Didn't see the BJ's fourth so I cant say he didn't let in a softie. Pretty solid.

This statement needs to be repeated. Never seen Franner so excited.

It's irrelevant. Jimmy needs to get his mental issues back on track, because it is costing Detroit games now.

I am just fine in that department, thank you very much.

No, we are fans. Sorry we don't live up to your standards of fandom.

I think you spend more time talking about other posters than about hockey.

HUDLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Well played.

Zetterberg: Check. Hudler:....Svede.

Jeezsus Franzen those are the breaks.

Mac with a great pokecheck.

McCrimmon.

NOW HOWARD IS HURT! COOL!

Howard you have to have that one.

Wings will kill it. Maybe not. Was that tipped?

I really don't think it has. You have your opinion, and I have mine. Don't tell me I'm a pessimist because mine differs from yours on one player. On subject: Lidstrom is too good with the stick check. Doesn't over commit on the play but is able to put his stick right where it needs to be.

Rafalski has always been a bad defensive player. I don't need your approval when I post who I don't think is doing well.

Another minus for Lidstrom with him making a good play in front of Howard. Rafalski is useless on the backend.

"Western Conference Finals Hangover" Being satisfied with finally making the Western Conference finals, they spent the rest of the summer partying and celebrating and ended up becoming complacent with their recent success.

I have always been curious as to the need to have one. If one was in the lineup I wouldn't consider it a vast improvement but wouldn't attack Holland for it. That has always been my position. Then don't peg me as something you don't have s*** to back it up with. Argue the post, not the poster. Depends on what you mean by open. I tend to argue against the idea that "we gotta get this guy now!" that a lot of enforcer threads are based on. That in and of itself doesn't magically make me hate enforcers. GMR: it should take you no time at all considering I am "the biggest anti-fighting poster" here according to some people. If you want my philosiphy on the need for an enforcer, check my first post in this thread. We have players that grind and bump and provide energy. We don't NEED one guy who will fight.

Well good luck with finding a post that says I hate the idea of having an enforcer. Bring them up, detective. If everyone "knows" then it wouldn't be too hard to find something that proves it. Or maybe the majority of the "pro-enforcer" crowd seems to misinterpret most people's opinions that do not agree with theirs as "anti-fighter". No, can't be that.

If you find a quote of mine that contradicts that statement I will eat my hat and post it on youtube.

I like the broadcast. The flavor of the different personalities (uncomfortable as they may be) gives me some enjoyment out of them. Too many commercials, though.

The difference is Wings fans don't use Lidstrom's +/- by itself to rave about his defensive play.
