Too soon.

Would have been more classy to stay on with the Wings. People forget. We're not just losing Holland (who would've a great asset to the team) but he's taking other staff with him as well. He not just leaving, he's basically poaching too.

Jamie Baker is more likely in a game 7.

Actually, Dabura is probably the most level headed person on here. For him to spout off to anyone requires a pretty hardcore troll post.

True. There's a lot of that going around these days tho. No. Media is always right.

Zadina didnt actually drop. Just before the draft, everyone knew Dahlin and Svechnikov were going 1-2. Montreal was taking Kotkaniemi at 3. Again, everyone knew. The only deviation was that everyone expected Ottawa and Arizona to take Zadina and Tkachuk with their picks, because that was the consensus top 5 players in the draft. Noone expected AZ to take Hayton (including Holland). That's why Zadina was there at 6. Arizona went off the reservation (pun intended) drafting for need with a guy noone had in the top 10. You can't say Zadina "dropped like a stone" in that context. You can't fault him in anyway for AZ making a bad decision (IMO). Every analyst had him going top 5 ( to my knowledge). He went 6th. I don't get the criticism.

Yup. Hoping for a Western team this year. Neither have won it all. Both Eastern teams have. BTW who wins in a series between 2 teams who habitually underachieve and fall flat in the playoffs?

I would have thought that Krebs means Crabs. Not sure that I would want Crabs on the team either.

I didnt know that falling 3 spots in the draft was considered free falling. Remember that Aaron Rodgers guy? Dan Marino? They both fell all the way to end of the first round. I'd say they turned out ok.

Because, like beer and whiskey, the Canadians make inferior drinks.

Tougher gun laws would have stopped this.

Gotta disagree. This team has 2 30 goal scorers in Larkin and AA, and potentially 2 more in Mantha and Zadina. We have 0 top pair defensemen. I trade AA for a top pair D all day long. Why cant Tyler Perry be the Tyler Perry of white people.

He hasnt said anything I havent read here before. At least he's not claiming to be a fan.

Suffocating BJs

He would offer Helm for Bouchard.

Jonas Mahonas I would do it tho

Holland

That would just give u e coli poisoning. Drinking Holland Haterade makes u blind.

A bacteria resistant sinus infection would be a very good thing. I think u mean antibiotic resistant sinus infection. Lol. That's called being an employee.

I hate Holland by proxy.

Momentum

BJ's dried up. BJ's went limp. BJ's drained. BJ's finish with a not so happy ending. Pick ur headline.

In terms of it being the "national sport"...I agree. In terms of the fanaticism...I agree. But if only 20% of the US population becomes serious hockey fans, thats almost double the population of the entire country of Canada. I dont think it's out of the question that US hockey fans will outnumber Canadian ones.

Yes I do. I supported the change before it happened. I also said that people are going to be disappointed if they expect Yzerman to be drastically different from Holland. There was some disagreement on that opinion. The signing of Veleno, and now Kaski, are Yzermans first 2 moves as GM, and arent any different than what Holland would have done. I was having some fun with that.
