No
With out Hanks beard in the playoffs the team would crumble, plus I hate Ryan Getzlaf's face. The dude's face makes me want to slap it.

NO! NO NO NO!
Please No. we do not need any more over the hill, declining in skill players..

LOL! Thats what will happen too!

Some of the bickering over this topic is flat out dumb. "ZOMG he has potential" ..."nutuh he's 28 you can never have potential after the age of 3"...... "ZOMG yes you can" ...."nutuh no you cant" .
People, we signed a guy with basic offensive talent for DIRT cheap, whats the problem. If he does well AWESOME, if not what are we losing? I for one hope he makes the squad and puts up 40 points. It may or may not happen, but if it does why complain?

In recent news, Yzerman, newly appointed GM of Tampa has asked the Detroit Red Wings if he could approach Mike Ilitch to move him to the Lighting. Gary Bettman approved this transaction without consulting with the Red Wings management. In other new's Gary Bettman and the NHL have become the new proud owners of the Detroit Red Wings, They plan to sell the billion dollar franchise in order to support a new endorsement for Sidney Crosby.

Ok answer this.
Which NHL player are they going to market?
Crosby has over 500 points before he is 23, career 1.3 PPG in the post season, a Stanley Cup, Olympic gold, Hart trophy, Lester etc.
Just on those accomplishments alone he's going to be marketed, not to mention the fact that he portrays himself as mildly as a cucumber to the media.
Stamkos will get his attention soon enough, but there aren't a lot of players that are in the top 3 of scoring perennially like Crosby and Ovechkin have since they've been in the league.
Maybe if Datsyuk, Malkin, Parise etc. followed up their performances 2 years ago they would be included with Ovechkin/Crosby but they didn't. It's clear that Ovechkin/Crosby are far and away are consistently two of the best players year in year out.

Doom and Gloom... People thought when Yzerman left the wings were done, well we were not. I love lids, I'd take him over almost any player in the NHL. But I think he is done. What happens next you might ask? Simple... the Wings continue forward, acquire new talent and bring up kids that have been developing in the minors.
We will never replace Lids, but other teams have won the cup without him.... so can we.

Fail.

Well it's decided then.
Texting Babcock asap. Thanks for your contributions to the Red Wings organization, hopefully we can work out a payment of some sort for your extraordinary hockey insight.

All I read from that was "Wahhh wahhhh, I need a bubba, wahhh, Zomg Red Wings fans cheer too loud, wahh wahhh."
Get over it.

****** bag move. Made me lol but still classless.

Bad PK from the wings tonight. Re-group, Re-focus and we will be fine.

Well sure it does, you are implying that anyone who hates Crosby is asinine ( pathetic ) hence a low tolerance for opinions that may differ from your own.
This is how I perceived the comment, perhaps misunderstood. If that's the case my fault and sorry. But seeing as how I feel my disdain for Crosby is valid and your comment was a broad generalization implying any who may feel a disliking of him is (Pathetic) , I felt the need to defend myself and my opinions. I'll say no more on the subject.

Ha! I can say the same to you, i've been reading these forums or a long while now, just created an account.
Keep on Cindys jock, maybe someday you'll get to smell it.
