Nah, yours was as well with the anti-enforcer B.S. Your act with the anti-enforcer statement is old. It is not an all or nothing deal like you think it is, and I'm not going down this road of explaining why as it has been beaten to the ground about 6000 times in here.

Best of luck Andrew!

And it never ceases to amaze me either how so many people go so far off the deep end with the Crosby disliking obsession, like you just did. I get talking hockey, I get talking about Crosby, but the quantity of times he is talked about on here when he's not a Red Wing or we aren't playing him/his team, as well as the quantity of how he is talked about with the vitol and hate thrown his way, is getting more disturbing and more insane in here as the days go by. One time I got a response regarding this that because I don't live in a hockey market, I don't get exposed to Crosby much. While I may not live in a hockey market, I still see a commercial here and there on ESPN or NBC or NHL Network or whatever regarding Crosby, I sometimes see him as the main story on sports sites in the NHL sections. Hell, I was in Pensacola, a small beach town in NW Florida on vacation in July and saw a replica jersey of his jersey on a display at a sports bar one night, and NW Florida is definitely not a hockey mecca. And I certainly get exposure to a fair share of the disliking obsession towards him in here, much more than necessary. Right now, it is just as bad, if not worse, than whenever stuff in here gets nuts about goaltending or toughness or enforcer talk. I certainly get my fair share of Crosby exposure good or bad when it comes to him just like plenty of other hockey fans. The exposure he gets doesn't bother me whatsoever and Crosby himself doesn't really bug me, but the infatuation regarding him by a fair amount of people in here is really, really disturbing. I certainly don't lose sleep over it, and it might have been fun to rip on him to start to me, but after seeing and reading it about 600 times a week now, it's pretty stale now and much more disturbing like I've state a few times. The only reason why I wouldn't mind not seeing/hearing Sidney Crosby's name again is so people on here can end their obsession on him. Not because of the general attention he gets by media and sports sites and such, just because people are so tripped up on him on this site. That is the only reason why I wouldn't mind not hearing/seeing his name, and that's sad. And it is also sad that I have to justify myself multiple times by saying that I neither like/dislike Crosby just to sound like I am not a Crosby worshipper or think he is a "hero" when I think people get carried away with this stuff. Now, am I getting a little carried away with this myself or being unfair some? Maybe, please tell me if I am. However I wouldn't be stating something about how silly I think this gets sometimes if I didn't think people were getting carried away on the other end. Fair enough, and if a Wing player did what Crosby did in this specific instance, and only in this specific instance we are referring to, it wouldn't make it any better. But in the heat of the moment right when it happens, I still stand by what I say that you'll see some Wings fans here/there that would've been happy that somebody dropped the gloves to some degree, even if it is like that and this same situation. GS&T already explains this in much greater detail. Like Crosby? You sound like you are implying that Crosby is the only person in professional sports that ever complains or whines or cheap shots. I've seen plenty of players throw a tirade and go nutty chirping and complaining. I remember seeing Steve Yzerman, The Captain, our beloved captain, storm out of the penalty box and just yap and compalin and rant away in a game at Nashville once on TV. Plenty of people bicker and complain on the ice or playing surface when they get frustrated or things don't go there way, not just Crosby alone.

Wonderful, this b.s. again. As for the blog itself, I liked it very much.

I predict that there will be some that will potentially make the forum implode by ranting and raving that Holland did little/nothing without considering the situations/scenarios for the Red Wings logically, like the past few seasons. I don't like it when people want a trade to happen just for the sake of it happening.

Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney

Yep, damn cooties get me every time. They got me a lot when I was a kid, they still get me now! Damn women! The person below me can't help but laugh at this even though this is an unfortunate result.

Quoted for truth on the bold part.

How so? Explain yourself instead of just calling me a retard and running away. Homer bias. Every team has it, and it wasn't hard for Penguins fans getting jacked up for what Crosby did because Crosby plays for the Penguins. If a Wings player did the same thing, you mean to tell me that no Wings soul on this single earth would be happy for what happened, especially considering the Wings don't fight that much.

I think it is a safe bet that if a Wings player did the same kinda thing Crosby did there, some people here would be doing cartwheels and backflips in happiness given how much fighting is hyped in here. Now for that specific fight in itself, what Crosby did was a little gutless, you don't jump people for no absolute reason, wait to make sure both players want to square off. As for the Crosby is the Poltergist's son attitude, I'll pass on that since it has never been my cup of tea to do that from minute one and it has been yelled at in people's ears in about 1000 different threads on here, and reading about the obsession of disliking Sidney Crosby on here has made me not care if I ever hear his name again.

Yes. The person below me has too much sugar on a daily basis.

I'm trying out a Michelob Honey Lager. I don't ever remember having Michelob Ultra ever, and not that this drink is bad, but it doesn't taste much different than Miller Lite to me. I don't see much of a difference.

Kronwall and Stuart haven't been extraordinary, nor terrible. They're fine. If they are healthy and able to play in the playoffs like normal and don't play physical like they are known for here, then I'll say that something is up in a not-so-good way.

I didn't vote at all, and I still have no life. At least I have a job.

Don't own one, indifferent on any future in owning one, and I bet some in here are too chicken to admit they might want one. The person below has accidentally lit themself on fire before.

Osgood was fine tonight.

Hell no! I hate them! They made me look stupid all the time as it took me at least an hour to put them in properly the few times I wore them. Besides, I actually like how I look with glasses on. The person below me gets easily amused by honking the horn in their car over and over again and hearing the horn noise. *shrugs*

I certainly like the concepts of All-Star games in any professional sport, I'm definitely not against having them. While I certainly don't mind seeing Wings guys play in them either, we all witnessed or read how fradulent the process was for selecting the All-Stars this year, with ridiculous multiple votes. Limit the "popularity contest" aspect of it to a good degree and I am 100% right there with you on your thoughts.

Certainly didn't sound like a joke. The Wings have until March or April to "wait" for Osgood to get his game together. Unless the Wings oversleep everyday, they are making the playoffs. Osgood and Conklin have plenty of time to try to round into top form then.

One Wings game that I went to, parked at JLA garage. Great cause it is right by the arena obviously, but there are lack of entries/exits. Went to a playoff game last year and parked in a parking lot behind Greektown restaurants for a respectable $10, wasn't too bad compared to $15 at the JLA garage. I'd suggest parking around Greetown/Greektown garage and taking the People Mover.

Does leg chopped off count as well as the rest of those? If so, I win. The person below me was afraid of the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man as a kid, and still is today.
