Ahhh the good old account @Jonas Mahonas how did this account get banned again?

They are polar opposites:

According to this guy's list. Hockey not in the top 10 but guess who number 12 is: Awwwyeaaaaa https://www.foxsports.com/buzzer/gallery/best-uniforms-sports-history-greatest-50-chargers-yankees-cowboys-050217

No because we Americans live in a bubble and most people probably don't even know what Cricket is and some still think Soccer isn't that popular. Even though those two are the two most popular sports in the world. Speaking of Cricket. They keep their ads simple as well:

Which must mean they are good. All I'm saying is; if the NHL does go the advertisement route, I like the soccer style aka keep it simple with the ad. If you see the European NHL jerseys they are filled with s*** all over; NASCAR being even worse. The La Liga soccer one's have one major ad in the front. That's about it. Like wtf is this s***: Just staring at this pic makes me suffocate and s*** in my underwear to relieve the suffocation. Like, I would rather get turned into a cookie and eaten by Fat Buu. Know what I mean?

I like how La Liga (soccer league equivalent to NHL) in Europe has it. There's one big ad but it's simple and clean and classy. If there's any other ads it's usually tiny and in a corner. In this case it's "Adidas". The left side is just the logo of the actual team. The back is clear of ads and just has player name and number like NHL does. Another example: Nike on top right, team logo on top left. Major sponsor in the middle. It's subtle and effective advertising and keeps the jersey mostly clean at the same time.

Or next year

His beard alone was better than Drew Miller.

Yo f*** that guy.

Holmstrom - Datsyuk - Zetterberg Fedorov - Yzerman - Shanahan Hull - Robataille - Zadina McCarty - Draper - Maltby White - Witkowski Dekeyser - Ericsson Smith - Marchenko (Lashoff) MacDonald Lamothe

Yeah that fight against Fat Buu really f***ed you up huh?

I'm sure there are some elements where he's thinking "well is it worth it to f*** my back up some more and make only $3 million? It's not impossible that he's thought that. I just think 40 points to 1000 is a thing and I'm sure he would have loved to hit it. I strongly believe his back was getting worse. These things rarely get better as you get older. Now whether it's bad enough to not play in the NHL for another season; we won't know until they release details. They released details about Franzen's situation like 3 years after the fact? Not sure if someone should be criticized for "retiring" with a persistent health issue. Lidstrom's reason for retiring was basically "I don't really feel like going through summer training again". Sounds a lot less interesting than "hey my back has been missing my disc for 4 years and I played through it, I think I might want a break now" Regardless, the fact that he still played after that surgery is incredible and the org definitely owes him whatever he needs. They didn't just remove a piece of his bone to relieve the pressure. The straight up removed part of his disk. That's a major surgery. He probably went to some hyped up hospital on West of East coast to do it.

The only part of your "spin" is that; lets pretend like he actually can continue to play but is choosing not to because of whatever reason, He's 40 points away from 1000 points just chooses to walk away now? 1000 points club ain't a joke. I'm sure any player would move an arm and leg to be in that range especially when you're that close. The probability of him (or any player) wanting the 1000 points is probably higher than him (or any player) not wanting it. Besides; his quote last year was that they designed the contract to cheat the system and he probably wasn't going to play the last 2 years; not the last 3 years.

Wonder how Datsyuk’s hockey career is going. Pretty good looks like. Wonder if Zetterberg can actually lift his kid up and play with him. Guess we’ll find out eventually. In the mean time he’s back in Detroit, putting his health on the line still trying to make it back on the roster. All for a team that has absolutely zero chance of winning the cup and hasn’t had a chance since his back surgery 4 years sgo. Could have quit 2-3 years ago when we sucked. Instead continued playing and the “best prognosis” for him is spinal fusion surgery when he’s around 50 years old. What great prospects knowing you have about 10 more years before they operate on you again and make you less mobile. Zetterberg = True Red Wing and Detroiter. Dedicated and loyal till the end. Not to mention he’s done more charity work for the community than anyone in recent years. I’ll be sure to be at the game where they lift his jersey up in the rafters.

More Zetterberg quotes: "I don’t want to think I have played my last game. To me, it’s still early to say that” “I will need more answers from doctors before I say I have played my last game,” Zetterberg said. “In my mind, I am hoping it can get solved.“ Zetterberg says he will keep trying to play until a medical professional tells him he cannot play another game. “I need someone to tell me I can’t play hockey anymore.”

They're going to give him a big time celebration. Did you see that 1000th game ceremony? The guy is going to get an even bigger celebration for his retirement. Most players with the Red Wings didn't have some crazy last game where everyone applauded. Yzerman's last game was in Edmonton when we got embarrassed as 1st seed. Lidstrom's last game was a playoff elimination against Preds where he recorded 0 points in the entire playoff series. Datsyuk's with a loss to Tampa where he recorded 0 points in the entire playoff series. At least Z's last game was a goal and assist at home. The LTIRment plan was coming for a long time and Z and the franchise knew it. Looks like he was never going to play till 2021, and because of that I'm pretty sure they knew his last game would be something no one else would "know" about. It would be nice to have a Sedin type send off for any player I'm sure, but it's just too rare.

Bruh he didn't fade away. Recorded 68 points year before and finished 2nd on points last year and statistically was the best player on ice aka the team was better when he was on ice vs off ice. Played 82 games three years in a row. Also surpassed Fedorov, Ted Lindsay and a few others in points or assists or goals last year. Also played his 1000th game at the very last game at the Joe and scored that amazing goal. Won King Clancy a couple years ago. I mean honestly he couldn't have had a better end post back surgery. Should have been written off in 2014 but dude make a comeback and set records and reached some incredible milestones on an otherwise s***ty team. Did it all on borrowed time. That's the ending I'd want if people wrote me off because my back was "bad" and I looked "slow" on ice. Proved lots of folks wrong honestly. Slow ass mfer that outproduced most young players in their primes the last few years.

LTIRment and all this limbo is bulls***. Can't even hold a retirement party yet.

Plan - No Zetterberg in 2018/19. Finish terrible in the season Get one of the top 3 draft players in 2019 draft. 2019/20 season Kronwall, Howard etc off the books. Larkin + Ras, Zadina, Veleno have taken big steps in the NHL and the latter players are full time on roster. Zetterberg returns to start the 2019 season; we make playoffs and win SC. Zetterberg retires with 1007 points. --- BTW if he's in Detroit doing rehab (and not just chillen in Sweden), doesn't sound like a guy that's thrown in the towel yet.

I like this one better:

Agreed brother

That one time Datsyuk served Zetterberg coffee. Their "Era" that was lingering after Dats left officially coming to a complete end. Who will be the next set of twins? Maybe Abdelkader and Glendening. Sign em till they 40.

Zetterberg will be back in the 2019/20 season.

But then Zetterberg's impact would be proven to be wrong. NO.
