    Wings sign (G) Adam Berkhoel, (D) Brad Ference

    Uh, Brad Ference? To take Markov's place? Haha. That's a joke. Err, wasn't it? *waiting for a couple of wingers, Dom's signing and maybe a true reserve defenseman*

    Smyth Signs with Colorado

    He could've landed more money elsewhere. Talk to your GM about the insulting offer and letting Smyth walk over about 150K. Your anger is misplaced.

    Habs sign Roman Hamrlik

    Great skater, shot, physical and makes players pay for going to the net. Not needed in Detroit.

    Rivalry Between Ducks and Wings

    Having Schneider has nothing to do with anything. Yeh, there's a few idiots in here who are glad he's gone, but not everyone feels that way. He was a good defenseman for us, and it's funny some have short memories. Imagine he doesn't get hurt and we win the Cup. How many would say bring him back for another shot at a repeat? As for the Ducks - if indeed Scott Niedermayer retires, the outlook is much worse. With him IN the lineup they would've been hardpressed to get back to the Finals. Rivalries aren't made up. When the Ducks win a few more Cups or at LEAST a few more playoff rounds, then we'll see. Right now the Ducks are just another in a line of lucky teams who caught some breaks to win a Cup. It's likely they barely make the playoffs next year. They're just one of those types of teams.

    Rafalski a Red Wing: 5-years, $30-million

    It is strange. A deal could not get done with Mathieu. Why? Now unless he says he wanted out of Detroit ... So let me see, 11 million over 2 years makes no sense, but 30 million over 5 years does? Wow, i'd love a link to some Holland-speak to figure this one out. What a joke. To hear you tell it - it's great we got rid of such a s***ty, useless player. Big whoop! Schneider never showed "his age" out there. He was as sound a defensemen as they come. But hey, he's gone - so do the normal LGW thing and let the bashing begin. When you play on a team like Detroit, the puck possession game allows the "older than dirt" players, as was implied in the article, hide their age, so it's irrelevant. Refresh our memories - when did Schneider's age become a problem?

    Ryan Smyth to Colorado

    He's worth 6 million. We might've had him. Oh well. Now if Kenny thinks we're OK if he adds [overpays] Bertuzzi - damn ... wtf?

    Smyth Signs with Colorado

    Hey Holland, just how much of a pay cut did he take to sign with Colorado and be with his buddy Joe Sakic? Just wondering ...

    Schneider signs with Ducks

    Wow, im on the fence right now. I missed everything done today, just got THIS news. Damn. But Mathieu, the f*n Ducks? Not ONE other team wanted you, are ya kidding??

    Why Is Everyone Comiing Down So Hard On The Leafs?

    Well it's cool if your friends are Leaf fans but nothing like the type we've mentioned in this thread. But for me, i've never met many Leaf fans who could talk hockey, when it has nothing to do with, let's say, who John Ferguson just overpayed for. That's all. When I was old enough to pronounce the words 'Steve Yzerman', I was a Red Wings fan. And somewhere right after that, my dislike of the Leafs began. Through 3 Cups, numerous awards and such lofty heights our Red Wings have taken me [while the Leafs have gone NOWEHERE, yet I hear their fans talk smack], my dislike became the hatred it is today. But just like there are probably a few good Republicans "somewhere" in the world, I guess I can agree that there's probably a few alright Leaf fans somewhere in the world too - somewhere.

    Why Is Everyone Comiing Down So Hard On The Leafs?

    Actually the Leafs/their fans aren't hated because they support their team. Reason #1 - their arrogance - hilarious considering they haven't won anything in 40 years counting and barely came close once against LA. Aww let's see, Gilmour's cut by Gretzky, it should've been a penalty, which in turn the Leafs would've made LA pay for on the PP, then they would've went on to win that series, then moved on to the Finals, to then SWEEP Montreal and win the Cup. Remind them of anything, let's say, "hey, what about Patrick Roy's amazing OT win streak those playoffs?" and all you'll hear is, "no way, against us, the Habs would've been smoked!". #2 - their lack of hockey knowledge. You ever try talking hockey with a Leaf fan? Try talking the merits of players on their own team. Trades. Rules. The AHL. Hockey. You ever hear Leaf fans try and justify paying McCabe that truckload of cash? They'll tell you he's a Top 5 defensemen.

    Hank, you speak sooooooooo much truth! There are simply NO OTHER FANS around, IN ANY SPORT, that makes me sick like Leaf fans do.

    Why Is Everyone Comiing Down So Hard On The Leafs?

    If you're a Red Wings fan, you simply cannot, at any time in your life, ever, also support the Maple Leafs. EVER!! It just does not happen.

    Your Top 5 Worst-Run NHL clubs

    When you think "worst-run" you think of: 1A. NY Isles 1B. Toronto 3. Phoenix 4. Chicago 5. Boston I'd also love to know how to get a job in one of these organizations. A hockey resume sure as hell doesn't matter.

    Why Is Everyone Comiing Down So Hard On The Leafs?

    QFT. -Their fans know nothing about hockey. They ain't hockey fans - only Leafs fans. -They hype certain players up who would'nt make the 4th line on most other teams. -The Leafs do their annual missing out on the playoffs/losing in the 1st round thing and their big mouth fans are not heard from again until September [which is nice], when they start up the bulls*** machine again and say "everyone is wrong, we ain't as bad as we look on paper". -Part of the Orginal 6, they are one of the worst run organizations in all of hockey. They run it like a pee wee team. And give jobs to people who otherwise wouldn't even work in the AHL. -They treat their past stars like s***. To be sure, there are many more reasons why everyone loves to laugh at them.

    Khan - Is there enough cap sapce for Smyth?

    Bertuzzi is = a Ryan Smyth? I'd love to hear THAT argument.

    Wings Want to Re-sign Bert Before Free Agency

    Paying Bertuzzi that kind of money is insane. Almost 4 million on mayber a 3 or 4 year deal? Only a dumbass GM ala John Ferguson Jr. would shell out that kind of dough to a guy who is nowhere near the player he was and never will be again. Exactly what are you going on here? Hope? Good luck with that.

    Holland: Hard desicions must be made.

    Bertuzzi shouldn't suprise anyone. Unless he takes 1 year at a small salary - LET. HIM. GO!! As for Hasek, i'd like a link to where he spoke of wanting at least 3 million. ??

    Holland: Prices for Bertuzzi, Schneider & Markov high

    Yes, and I meant to correct that. Regardless, you're way off on what Schneider adds to our blueline.
