    Franzen on IR

    Duschesne plays a different position. That year our D was stiffling, he was most definitely more important to the team D than Hossa was. So in that sense, Ducshesne was more important. But I see what you are tried to do. and to address my use of "better" Red Wings than Hossa. All those guys were willing to take much less money than market value to help keep this team in contention. Again, I, as many were, was mad when he left for more money. I don't know what the hell I brought Primeau up for, that could've been my anger about the whole situation...maybe. I will give you that one, I must have been not thinking straight! Although, Primeau did get us Shanny, so he was better than Hossa at bringing us a return! Oh well...

    I still wanted Hossa. Did I support having both Franzen and Hossa? After both of their 2009 campaign's, absolutely I did. I did say when they signed Franzen that it pretty much screws us for Hossa unless he took a huge discount (in which he said he was willing to do) but then after Holland dinked around with keeping money for Hudler, Hossa split and I was angry, especially where he went. It is a bad thing to be upset with the player you wanted to stay when he bolts to a rivalry! For God's sake half of you guys still boo Fedorov. Nice work digging stuff up, but nowhere in any of that mess shows me supporting Franzen INSTEAD of Hossa. It shows me supporting both and dumping Hudler, Filppula and Samuelsson. But it also shows that I would've rather kept Hossa over Franzen when it came down to the choice. All this points in the same direction as I have always pointed when it came down to a choice, I wanted Hossa over Franzen. If you were around back then, you will also know my distain for Hudler. I wanted to trade Sammy and Flip as well. Sammy took a dump (although I was a bit hopeful for him when he returned the second time) Hudler was hot garbage and perhaps the only other Red Wing I hated more than Franzen. Filppula never panned out once he re-signed. He was helpful in 08, but he again, was a guy who got a nice raise and took it and ran and never really lived up to it for us. Was in support of him being traded when he had the value he had in 09. Trading Flip and Hudler at that time would've have been more valuable than keeping them (which was my opinion) and it played out to be true. Plus it limited our cash to keep Hossa after giving Franzen too much money. Again, nice try, but nowhere does it say I choose Franzen over Hossa. Franzen AND Hossa over keeping Flip and Hudler? At the time? Absolutely. But almost immediately after we lost Hossa, I was way OFF the Franzen wagon. And again, I was pissed that Hossa didn't take less to stay and that he left for Chicago. Doesn't mean I didn't wish Holland kept him over Franzen. Dickie, other than money, no way Franzen was a better deal than Hossa. Hossa to this day is a constant threat on this ice. Franzen is a threat TO the ice....melting it. And I have been hating him since he signed, and he has been more and more useless every year since...pretty soon Holland will be paying him to change his (Franzen's) depends when he can't hold his bowels anymore.

    I just love Skinny-Arms Rob Lowe! Deadpool or Deathstroke is basically a metaphor for Marvel vs. DC Comics. Deathstroke, AKA, "Slade" Wilson is an assassin in the DC Universe, he is extremely skilled in hand to hand combat, fire arms and other form of weaponry. He has healing factors and superhuman reflexes. Deadpool, AKA, "Wade" Wilson is an assassin in the Marvel Universe. He is extremely skilled in hand to hand combat, fire arms and other forms of weaponry. He has healing factors and superhuman reflexes. Deadpool or Deathstroke, like I said, is pretty much the poster children for Marvel vs. DC and which one you think is better. It would be like choosing Team Jacob or Team Edward to show your support of Wolf or Vampire. Me being a diehard Marvel fan, I choose Deadpool everytime. Although, Deathstroke is the older character and was created first, and it is obvious that Deadpool is a blatent parody of DC's more serious character. Hope that helps! Corey or Chum?

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    You may be right since we cannot check capgeek, but I could have swore that the last time I was able to check capgeek, it said he was expempt throught the 2014-15 season. Maybe I was looking at someone else.

    Franzen on IR

    Ya, something like that... There is no other way to explain his rapid decline. He needs to be bought out or retire. He's done, mush, there are 22 other players on this team better than he is and at least 10 in GR.

    Franzen on IR

    In all honesty, I know I kick him and kick him, and beat him like a dead horse, but I wonder if he still has head issues from the cuncussion(s) he had starting in 08? I know he came back and had an awesome 09, but then all of a sudden he sucked. I hate to beat the dead horse of he got his "serious contract" and decided to pansey around, I'd hate to think that, but something happened, because no way Holland chooses what he got from Francine over Hossa if he knew something was wrong with him...

    This has to be sarcasm, right? The only playoff beast mode Francine gets into anymore (since 2009) is the beast of dump he takes on the ice when "plays." Can we not get rid of this albatross already? I got a new sig idea "Johan Franzen, prooving Leftwinger right since Summer 2009..." I know Hossa is really outscoring Francine this season, but man what a dumb ass choice that was! That goes down in history with the Ferderko and McKegney acquistions!

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    wE SHOULD try to resuce Suter out of the rotting cesspool in Minny...oh, I didn't mean his in-laws. Also, I mentioned before that there is going to have to be trades made from our D and prospect D within the next two season's. Even if Kindl is traded this year. Q walks after next year, we still have 4 "kids" out of exemptions, 1 in 2015, 3 in 2016. With no room for them all after re-signing Smith and Dekeyser. So Kindl and another roster D man has to go, or trade one of the three valued RD'd kids in GR. Marchenko, Jensen and Sproul. Jensen is out of exemptions this summer, the other 3 next summer, but Oullet is here to stay now.

    The person below me game...

    I want to, I love roller coasters, but they don't make them big enough for me anymore...either that or I need to lose some weight. The person below me lives in a town with less than 3000 people.
  23. I believe there is a plan for a New World Order. The Illuminati exists. GMO's were made to help control population. "No Child Left Behind" is actually hurting our kids, not helping them. 9/11 WAS an inside job. I work with 757's everyday, there were no parts of a 757 laying anywhere at the pentagon. Michelle Obama is a man. Disney does purposely put sexual and satanic references in their cartoons. We did NOT land on the moon. JFK was an inside job. TWA 800 was shot down. There is a God, and he is tired of forgiving, he is pissed.

    I am finding it harder and harder to deal with women. Why, after so many years of the same person, does it seem like every little thing you do, doesn't even begin to make them happy? You would think after 20+ years, things would just flow and nobody would stress either one out! Would love to know what true happiness feels like!
