Why? Why? Look what you did.

Feds should have his number retired. Hart trophy, Stanley Cups, Hall of Fame. The guy honored his contracts. Never forced a trade. The whole "how he left" thing is stupid. He was an UFA. #raise91

No. Mine says "Free Mammograms" on the side.

If Hronek was Swedish, played the forward position, and got mostly in-the-crease, garbage goals on the PP, then yeah, exactly the same as Homer.

Remember when Anna left the tennis circuit and the tennis people needed a new hot Russian girl, so they threw out Maria Sharapova? Who was like a "5", and they literally tried to act like she was hot, when no one saw it. It was like no one wanted to be the first one to come out and say it, so she was the new Kournikova for a while. Until people finally realized she wasn't and she disappeared into obscurity.

Answer: Both

I think you and I need to have a special talk.

For those of you keeping score, on this page alone, we've had: 11 uses of the word g-a-y 7 uses of the word butt, butted, or butt-hurt I fear what kind of ads and pop ups I am going to be getting now.

But Anna...

Why? Why? Look what you did.

You and Burke are too focused on the "days off" comment, which was obviously said in jest. Here is the full comment: https://canoe.com/sports/hockey/nhl/red-wings-dylan-larkin-doesnt-want-fans-all-star-votes Larkin was saying that there were more deserving players, which is why he didn't want to be voted in. Nothing wrong with that. As for Bertuzzi, totally different scenario. He was the best player on his team, and every team gets one player on the ASG roster (which I don't agree with BTW). So by that metric, he deserved to be there. I'm not living in a bubble. But I will stick up for a player who is a victim of having words taken out of context and then being unfairly criticized for it, when in reality, he doesnt want a reward he doesnt feel he deserves.

Really? I mean, trading Larkin is a rumor. Firing Blashill is a rumor. But accusing Larkin of being a coke head...you don't think that might be a little unfair?

He left at a time when most of the team was made up of veterans who I doubt would have suffered from any negative influence. Also the kids like Datsyuk (and later Z) would have a locker room full of leaders to mentor them, so I doubt Feds would have rubbed off on them either. Ironically, the Wings were probably the best fit for Feds at the time.

To be fair, accusing, or even suggesting, a player is involved in an illegal/immoral activity without any real proof is out of bounds. Saying that YOU don't care if they are is irrelevant. And doesn't negate the fact that you might unfairly sully someone's reputation in the eye's of others who might find that act deplorable.

Yes, but the All Star game is still about being the best in the game too. I mean, guys like Crosby and McDavid probably have more haters than actual fans. Yet they still get in because they deserve to be there. If Larkin got in, it would be because he won a popularity contest, not because his play on the ice warrants it. It would be an empty "honor". I wouldn't accept it either. I would thank the fans for their support, but would decline the invitation. I don't think anyone should hold it against him either.

I mean if its for a 1C, then yeah? I see our future 1D in Seider. Our 3D in Hronek. If McIsaac pans out, I think we're set with the top 4. Mantha, Bert, Zadina, AA, Stutzle/Lafrenchie more than fills ur 4 winger spots in the top 6. The need that concerns me the most is 1C/2C. Larkin is not elite, but if you trade him, the team is really screwed even if Veleno becomes a 2C.

Oh, ok. Missed the sarcasm.

1. The fan vote is a popularity contest. How else do you think someone like John Scott got in? It literally has nothing to do with skill, ability, achievement, etc. 2. If someone offers you an honor, reward, trophy, award, etc that is not deserved...or is more deserved by another (which would be the case with Larkin), then he shouldn't accept if he doesn't believe he's earned it.

Context?

Literally haven't followed the WOKE League all season. Didnt know the Pats were out. You just made my day. ZE BEKAM "KRON VALLED"

I dont think I would trade any of the young core. Constantly recycling players just prolongs a rebuild. Rather see SY fill roster needs thru the draft an free agency. Making a new hole to fill another doesnt make much sense to me.

A real man does not accept an honor he doesn't deserve. I don't care what Burke says.

We already gave them Trouba. Found the nerd.

Looks like someone put the special ed kids in the honors classes.

Like the gunners on the ship? I hope so. I am enjoying the crow meal I've been eating since we drafted him. I was disappointed thinking he was a reach...by a lot. I actually wanted Podholzin at the time. But SY made a really good pick in hindsight. And I'm glad to be wrong.
