$2.875M to be exact.... This just gives me a reason to not like Carhartt. They're overrated, just like Hudler... I'd trade Hudler for a Russian Prostitute...
-
FINALLY !!!! Someone who understands! I am tired of the games in Dec-Feb being played at a cruise control level or players not being able to play because of a broken pinky! Great fans pay HUGE amounts of money to go watch players who make multi-millions play like they make $40,000... I went to watch the High School Hockey States between Wyandotte and Farminton last night, now those are players playing for pride! (and it only cost $5!) and it was 1000 times more enjoyable than watching the Wings blow another league and play with no heart when I got home! I actually turned off Underworld: Rise of the Lycan to watch that crappy game!
-
that is the script a typical Wings fan follows.... "Guys it's only Decemeber..." "...Wait until we're healthy...(with the same guys every year being hurt (seems like it)" "...our powerplay is our enforcer..." "...just wait until the playoffs..." Some years they're right, but if the Wings cannot stop having third period collapses and start playing defense and STOP giving up 4 goals a game, Stanley Cup Champ chances are slim to none and slim has one foot out the door... I only hope that if they fail again, McCrimmon is not back for another season. Remember the old days when the D was so good that "your gramma" could play goalie and win? Those days are gone, Howard can only do so much, he is doing great but gets left out to dry on a nightly basis! Could you imagine Howard on the 1990's and early 2000's squads? He'd be, well he'd be Chris Osgood!
-
Franzen score? Ya....ok..... I think Hudler will score before he does.... YES! Mike's moving up! Hudler's moving down!
-
I'm I wrong or did I NOT see an elbow hit him? I saw the fist to the face from his left arm and the right arm hit his shoulder. Sure still a penalty and a asinine play, but I didn't see an elbow...
-
Just saw the highlights of the game..... What the heck kind of call was that in OT? Barely a penalty and to call the shot too? Ref blew it!
-
Yes, prayers to him and his family. He is one of the three guys I wished was around for that 1997 Cup win. Burr, Probert & Ciccarelli.

Didn't get off topic, a user said what he/she read the pens fans thought of Letang (which IS THE TOPIC, or can't you read) I simply responded to the ON TOPIC post by another user. You can roll your eyes into the back of your head for all I care, just because users don't share your same view of the pens, doesn't mean squat on this forum. replying to your post, I agree, he is not Norris worthy, I also agree with the OP, most of the pens were riding the coattails of Crosby, especially Letang, numbers don't lie, so I've been told...
-
When we trade Howard for Nabokov in the off season, and Osgood resign's for $500,000 then our goalie cap hit will only be slightly over $1M! (I joke, I joke)
-
did you expect any less from a pens fan? I guess they forgot about a couple of defenders name Coffey and Murphy that won two Cups with the pens, they weren't too shabby in their days in Crapsburgh. Oh wait, we ARE talking about fans that don't even know what hockey is until the Steelers are done playing...PA.THE.TIC....
-
His rebounds have always been his problem, this was evident even when he was making spot appearances a few years ago. He has gotten better and hopefully he continues to improve. Besides, if it doesn't work out, it wouldn't be the first time Holland wasted $2M plus on someone that turned out to be a piece o' s***.....
-
Not a bad deal, considering what is out there.. ..this just in, Holland made a deal on trade deadline day, he is quoted as saying "Jimmy Howard re-signing is our deadline acquisition...."
-
if the right deal comes up, Holland will make it. I just don't see them doing any better this year in the playoffs over last. The defense sucks (still.) Oh well, hold on tight and hope for something good!
-
just in case you missed it, Franzen is no Fedorov. Actually he blows, but he sure is worth the contract he signed! He scores in bunches and is FAR from consistent. Anything else that needs to be repeated? This team needs a shake up, and I certainly hope Holland actually does something this monday and shows the fans that he cares about them.
-
Team is falling apart. Wings need a Big Time Goalie, a mean Defensman and a ligit Sniper... Too bad they cannot afford any of them...
-
...and to think, after his 5 goal game, some folks were comparing him to Fedorov...
-
Two things we have learned recently. Wings need a MAJOR shake-up AND as much as most folks here tried to convince us in an earlier thread, Franzen isn't even a fungi on Fedorov's toenail.
-
So nobody can have a different spelled name?
-
BINGO! We have a winner! I will never like the scrub. He could score 80 goals and be a Hart Trophy winner and I still wouldn't like him. Sorry, just because he is a Red Wing, doesn't mean I have to like him. So, in my opinion, ANYBODY is better than Hudler. Doesn't mean I am right, just will never like him.
-
yet it's acceptable for a $2.8M cap hit for someone who only has 10 more points and has played in 9 more games?
-
This is a great cause! on the humorous side, the Pittsburgh fans should be used to bringing diapers to the arena, but how are they going to separate the ones for the moms and the ones for Crosby?
-
Must dump enough salary to acquire Vokoun.... Osgood LTIR gets rid of some, who do we trade?
-
Hudler Haters - Don't let facts get in the way...
LeftWinger replied to stevkrause's topic in General
I am glad. Maybe next year (if he isn't traded) he will actually earn his money. Of course then he'll probably want even more to re-sign. I hope he finishes strong and has huge trade potential in the off season... Not hating, just saying... -
Modano feeling good, aiming for late-February return
LeftWinger replied to DatsyukianDekes's topic in General
Which means, if he comes back and plays strong, and the Wings go deep, he WILL be back for another year. He has to feel like he barely played this year....oh wait -
Very Cool! I like! +1,000,000 for you!
