Yes, sure, that's what I did. I said the reason he is bad is because he is homosexual...which I don't think he is, but either way he is just bad. Not only is Number9 getting so full of himself, he expects an apology for joking about his favorite player. I implore you to re-read the definition of Homophobe. I never said that is the reason I didn't like him. He is bad, and overpaid, never lived up to his contract, that is why. I don't care if he was transgender. Also show me my history of socially insensitive remarks, do you mean your made up anti-swedish ideal? Never was and never will be anti-Swedish. I am just anti-crappy player who is overpaid. He could be Yiddish for all I care. it's time to end this discussion. Do not attempt to keep it going... I will not partake.

I don't apologize for jokes. Jokes are jokes. That's the problem with sensitive snowflakes today, they think everything is offensive. When you joke, that means not serious. I don't care if he pitches or just catches or just swings his bat only in a warm warn in glove. I don't dislike him for that kind of stuff, so it wasn't homophobic. I don't even care if you pitch and catch, doesn't change my opinion of you outside of this forum. Don't mistake an olive branch to not joke like that anymore as an apology to you. It wasn't.

I'm not we really have anything that can be called a rivalry at the moment. But I enjoy beating The Blues, Wild and Leafs. Whenever we are lucky enough to do so.

hit ignore. I don't recommend following me around tearing down everything I post.

it can also be said, our 3rd round pick is a 2nd. We are going to get some quality players this year! Whether or not they can translate their game in to the NHL we'll see, and whether or not Holland screws up the 2nds and 3rds. I'd like to see a gamble with one of those 6th's and draft British Star Liam Kirk. Before I quit Twitter, he and I had a brief exchange regarding being drafted. Of course he would be elated just to be drafted, but he did say it would be extra special to a Red Wing with all the history and Z and Pav are a couple of his favorite players. He may have just been saying nice things to a fan, but hey, at the time it sounded good! That is what I loved about Twitter, once in awhile you can experience an exchange like that! Too bad...

Is this the year that Ovi finally beats Sid? ...lets hope so!

Ironic, I just read an article about Boqvist on how he was at the draft when his brother was drafted and he is looking forward to being drafted himself. I see in this chart that Jesper was 10th ranked European, in the article it said he was chosen 36th overall. Its amazing how players drop sometimes.

Great listen, thanks! Who was the guy he was talking to? "Mark"

I am guessing that they will sign Pope. I thought Sambrook was suppose to be a solid prospect, wonder why they haven't inked him yet... Vahatalo looks like one of those picks that you hoped you hit something, but his stats don't look too impressive, but then again, 12 points in 60 games wouldn't be bad for our team last year!

even in the sad state we are in, IMO we will win a Cup before NY will. JT coming here would just speed that up more!

Can't wait to start hearing the favs in the running for him. Should start up fairly soon.

Nah LeftWinger did not exist on Twitter. It was my real info.

I haven't watched Svechling play or Zadina, but I am damn impressed with Wahlstrom. Wilde looks good and Mat Samuelsson is a monster. Our 1st four picks are going to be exciting! Also Jack Hughes is all he's touted to be. Also impressed with Cole Caufield. Both 2019 available.

Well, if that happened, I'm sure we'd get an asset back as well.

Nah, when you say something about someone's favorite player, or at least the one he is bending over backwards to defend, you can't joke about anything. You can't even have an opposite opinion about it. They get Butt hurt! Howard is Horrible. That is why Mrazek was dealt, he got us a better return and no one wanted Howard, maybe he'll be a bit more wanted come this TDL. But hey, after watching the IIHF U18, we need to get another top 5 next year anyhow!

Kid looks good! I don't speak French, so I don't know what it means, but from now on, when I hear about this kid scoring, I am going to hear "'Beueeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" or whatever it is he is saying! That's great! I love the personalities of some broadcasters!

yikes!

imagine Fedorov in Gretzky's prime (80's) with all the protection on that Oilers team.

it's funny at the time no one in Minny felt they were getting screwed, that is for sure! What is there about 7 more years of their contracts?

ugh...stuff Twitter. The discriminate WAY too much. I do miss some of my followers but I had to quit it. I l know my post in the Humboldt thread got deleted because I made it kind of political, which is fine, but when that lady said what she said about the only reason that people raised so much money, it broke the straw in my back...I was out. But I do agree, it's just that the Wings are bad, super bad right now, it'll pick up after the lottery and the draft. Look at it this way, even when the Wings are bad, the diehard(er) fans still come here!

Well, then count Holland out as a better GM, he only offered one year less, same cap hit, still Suter agreed, but his girl didn't. I would've loved to see Suter here man, even at 12 years $7.whatever million he makes against the cap.

Honestly, if we're talking "best" of the Red Wings, regular season was 1995-96, best Cup winner was 1997. I'd love to see the prime Feds, Kozi, Lidstrom, Shanny, much younger Yzerman play in the same league rules as 2008. Man they'd destroy teams being able to free wheel all over without having an extra hand on their stick or getting hooked. Hell if the 96 team had those rules they may not have lost a game, and they only lost 13! You just cannot compare different eras. It just like putting Gretzky back in the 40's and 50's, heck even the 60's when Gordie was tearing it up, he would've had a very hard time becoming The Great One in that era.

Apology....there was no reason to apologize. He's the one that told me to keep jerkin off to Tippett. I just figured one of us should put an end to it before it got too far, as he always takes it, as you see with his response...but don't confuse what I said with an apology.

and this is your response to an olive branch.
