Red Wings Addict

Nice.

Well, they don't need anymore players who are top six or bust. They have some skill but can't skate and aren't versatile enough to be significantly effective while on the bottom six. Homer and Huds are the main examples.

Or growth from within.

Rinne will be a lot tougher to solve than Bryz but I have faith the Wings can figure something out for him.

Philly absolutely cannot let the Pens dictate the style like this if they're going to come out of that series as the winner. Seems like they're allowing the style to be more about skill than they're used to and that won't bode well against the insane talent on the Pens.

Not a lot of excitement or hope for the Wings playoff run it seems.

Or what about Uwe Krupp plays two games. Right? Or Jason Williams plays two games. Not a lot of people remember that.

I'd like to have him on the team but man he does some stupid s*** sometimes that really lessens that sentiment.

This thread should have an update that includes Brooks Orpik.

I feel like Torts should say something again, depending on his bank account. I mean, come on, how does Orpik not even get a hearing from the NHL? They saw what happened right?

When I think of this series... Oh man... I feel like that one Halloween episode of The Simpsons where a haunted house turned the whole family against each other. He watched the characters circle each with weapons and chanted, "DIE... DIE... EVERYBODY DIE... MUAHAHAHAHA!"

I wonder if Clowe won't get as much leniency from the officials in the next set of games for San Jose. You know like all of a sudden they call him on a phantom hook or "charging," etc. Wouldn't surprise me. Kind of like how Auger was out to get Alex Burrows that one game.

Or Fish's cross check to the teeth. I'm pretty sure some on here would pick that as their favorite moment. It's a nice choice, hehe.

Will tomorrow be Crosby's last game played?

Did Berube get a fine?

Danny Cleary to miss Red Wings finale, will play Game 1 http://www.freep.com/article/20120406/SPORTS05/120406038/1053/sports05 ... For some reason I'm reminded of a SP episode where the town has to inform the elderly that they shouldn't drive anymore. #rhymeswithfarcasm

Yeah this is kind of like picking your favorite child. I can't choose for the life of me. Though it is worth mentioning again and again that the fable of the story of "Patrick Roy's Statue of Liberty faux pas" is that being a douchbag can in fact lead to rather serious consequences. It doesn't always work that way, unfortunately, but it's very possible.

Jeez.

Yeah... Sucks.

Wow what a thread. Any proud Ericsson critics in da hizouse?

I hope they really beat the crap out of each other.

Yeah. I'm not a huge fan of Kindl's by far but I felt like outside of those huge mistakes he played pretty solid and looked pretty good out there. But those mistakes were quite costly. Maybe he'll learn from them, who knows? I expect he'll be the next dman to sit out a game.

And then dangled it in their faces.

It's a really good question/observation. Tough to knock off the puck but I guess the puck gives him superpowers.

Can't wait for that to happen. I'm pretty sure Havsplat will be #1. And then Miettinen from Game 1? or 2? is top 3 or 4 for sure in my eyes even though it was a little dirty/illegal. I also think the one on Clowe from last year's playoffs should be highly rated and not just because of the context of Clowe saying before the game that he wanted a piece of Kronwall. Just moreso because Clowe is one huge dude and that hit showed people that if Kronwall timed everything right that he can get the big guys too without jumping/leaving his feet.
