Rivalred

Sharks are playing very good hockey and have a great team... On a side note about splitting points, the Wings are only doing other teams favors by going into OT.

I missed the rest of the game... phht... Another come from behind win in OT? wow Glad they won though

Doan is really playing well out there.

It is like watching a sweater with a loose thread unravel.

*crosses fingers for Z and Mule to have a bad season so they get less money *

Out of beer, but have some Hard Liquor Drinks... I will drink 1 per goal the Wings score.

The way Lilja is playing, we could sit Ozzie and Ty, and put him in net.

Remember guys, Pavel has a sore ankle and Hossa's groin is tender. Hoping Z, H, and F rule out there tonight.

People are disrespectful, it is a part of life. Getting upset over it will not change anything. I am still thinking a hit where a player goes through the glass is harder and more effective than a player who gets right back up and the play continues.

He may be aware of it, but the fact that if he see's another goalie playing when he should, maybe he will work harder in the areas that he needs improvements. I am not just saying it is Osgood, the entire team has played with partial ambition. The other players may become more aware of the entire situation and step up their game also which needs to be done. There is no way Babcock will sit both goalies, so he sits Ozzie and Ty is allowed to play, but he will know if he starts slipping more he will be riding the pine too. But Osgood also came out and said he has not played well. Maybe be is being TOO hard on himself and it is effecting his play. Maybe Babcock is giving him some time off to relax and get his head back into sync. The man is pretty hard on himself at times.

Is there anyone in the league that has put down some very clean and hard hits where the opposing player was injured and did not return to the game?

The title of the thread says the "Stuart is the best hitter in this league" so what is considered the best hitter? Now you are debating the hardest hit?

They are not smart ass comments, they are politically correct. And as for this year, Milan Lucic has had some great hits, far better than any Red Wing.

You are the one who is derailing your own thread. Anyone who watches hockey know's Stuart is not the best hitter in the league and when I commented on Vladdy being the last Wing to be considered the best hitter in the league, you totally ignored it. If your definition of "contribute positively" means that ever poster has to agree with you, then you need to face a hard reality, this is the internet where billions of people can read it and give their own opinion. If you can not handle constructive criticism, you may want to learn how to grow and mature as the professional world is full of it.

My sexual orientation has nothing to do with this thread and to be honest, if you can not back up your threads with solid facts and or constructive educated posts, please stop refrain yourself from doing so. Retarded is someone who is mentally challenged, an example would be Trisomy 21. You do realize that some members here may have a mentally challenged child and would not appreciate the use of that word.

Those 2 word contraindicate each other in so many different ways. 1st off a male homosexual would have nothing to do with the female ******. Second, homosexual female is only interested in another female ******, and in those relationships there is still a husband and wife role. And you find a thread with nothing but females in it, man I have been hanging around on the wrong site. Stuart lays down some good hits, but he is not the best on the team nor the best in the league. Only Red Wing in the last 15 years to even be considered the best hitter in the league was Vladimir Konstantinov. Now, if you are going to start comparing Stuart to Vladdy to homosexuals and ******'s, then it's all you buddy.

There is no way Stuart is the best hitter in the league. Must be another farce thread.

He does and he even called himself out on it. Same goes for the rest of the team. I stated this many weeks ago, Babcock needed to start doing this if the team was not on the level. I do not go around posting the sky is falling, we need Hasek back, or goalie threads like many others. So your telling me, when Lebda was sat for a few games, Babcock was not trying to send a message to him and the rest of the team? Please.

It is being done to send a message to Osgood and to the rest of the team.

Quick: What is his BUN/Creatinine and ABG's?

Any extra money that was available is all tied up in that guy they call Hossa. Osgood just needs to pay attention a little more, get across the crease faster, and stay tight against the post on angled shots.

Trifecta of Power!

Hope things go better for him.

That is not considering the games where the Wings scored an empty net goal where the total was inflated.

I fell asleep before the game started, woke up when Calgary scored the their 3rd, and watched the comeback. Phht... I should miss the 1st 47 minutes of the game more often.
