"I view Rafalski as much more important." "Premier defencemen are harder to find than shooters." Agree with all of this, and that he has a NTC. Hossa goes. esteef

Display those signs proudly!!! esteef

What's weak is you just repeating the same bulls*** over and over. Dress it up however you want, the fact remains that Crosby received an exemption where others did not. Who gives a s*** exactly who dialed the f***in' phone or how it went down? He got the exemption didn't he? And waaah f***in' waaah, look who's got the Crosby man-love now? Poor Crosby was just trying to appease the league? He was trying to play the next game back period. If the regulaur season game penalty wasn't in effect for missing the ASG, NO ONE from Pittsburgh would've been calling Bettman. Poor little angelic Crosby, we're all just ganging up on him! esteef

Haha! I thought there was some new breakthrough in the case! This article has already been posted in another thread. :hippie: :hat: :smokin: esteef

This is the only place I think you have footing, and I agree. The Wings knew early enough that they weren't planning on sending Dats and Lids that they should've provided alternates even if it meant cancelling someone's plans. The decisions on the two injuries with regard to sitting out the ASG probably came in enough time to assign someone. Toad! esteef

Hey, listen up folks, it's the voice of reason! Please tell us more... Why does he need to save face? I thought he was clearly in the right and the Wings are a bunch of dickholes. esteef

Typical, when you're out of ideas, start in with the man crush bs. Holland didn't call, and pay attention this time, because the rule was already set in Feb and everyone already understood it. Why would they call to haggle a rule that's already clear and agreed upon by all the GMs? Lids and Dats were manning up and accepting their punishments for not going, regardless of how stupid the rule is. And that's correct, there is no conspiracy, there's only fact. Lidstrom and Datsyuk are being "suspended" by a rule that was changed at the last minute to allow Crosby the ability to side-step the punishment. That's fact. NOW everyone knows all you have to do is show up to still get to play, but it's a little late to be announcing it now after two of your elite ambassadors of the sport have been dragged through the media mud all weekend. But yes, I'm sure it's all just man love. esteef

Are they hot?

Datsyuk on the 4th line! What a loser! esteef

I've been over it dude. You're the one who continues to rant and won't let it die. For the last time, everyone, including Lids and Dats are fine with sitting out against Columbus. The rule is stupid, but they knew what the outcome would be if they didn't go to the game and were already accepting the consequences. The issue, once again, is the changing of the rule at the last minute that didn't give ample time for all parties involved to reasonably be able to act upon. That's it. If Bettman simply tells Crosby no and makes him sit the next game, regardless if he merely shows up at the ASG or not, there's no issue here whatsoever. Go by what all the GMs agreed on in Feb and don't change it (ammend it whatever) unless all the GMs can take part in the discussion surrounding the new "ammendment". Making side deals for certain players is bulls***. The enforcement of this rule to date at best has made Lids and Dats out to be a couple of prima donnas, and at worst liars. f*** Bettman! esteef

17 pages of this thread begs to differ.

Interesting....

Yeah! That's our best PKers job!

OK. You're not retarded. Please ensure that ONE person understands the suspension was warranted. Thank You.

He's right! I can barely see his pads!

Don't use duck tape! They always catch you by matching the pieces back together! ...at least that's what I heard... esteef

We could do this all day! Here's a couple that aren't overused: Our last fight was my fault: My wife asked me "What's on the TV?" I said, "Dust!" The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are beautiful. Cheers! esteef

Q: Why do women fake orgasms? A: Cause they think we care. esteef

Put these on 'em and put 'em in the game! esteef

What a d-bag! esteef

Are you f***in' retarded? NOBODY IS CONTESTING THE SUSPENSION. How many times does that have to be said? Get a life already! esteef

Happy Birthday!
