And you know for a FACT that Hossa is going to perform poorly in the playoffs?

Better credentials than Datsyuk

That has nothing to do with what happens this year.

Or people have finally realized that Hossa on this team would be just sick (just sick refering to Rod Allen, I'm going to start sprinking in some Rod sayings seeing as the ball season is nearing).

I wouldn't watch sportscenter or anything with highlights because you would be seeing his name a lot if he were on the Wings.

16 is beyond off limit. Vladdy embodies the Red Wings just as much as Yzerman does imo.

Hossa would be able to do anything he wants out there on the Wings.

The Offspring - Come out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)

Was referring to this ""We'll make a big move if it fits what we are trying to do in the short term and the long term," Holland explained."

I was about to say as long as he is *something*. But I caught myself at the last second before I was about to say it, no way I jinx that.

I wish I had two jobs, both involve being able to be completely wrong and getting away with it. Weatherman and Eklunds job.

Not if Sheed plays like he can and did in the 4th quarter against the Bucks the other night. That was a disappointing and entertaining game to watch all at the same time. My own opinion, but, Sheed is the best player in the NBA when he wants to be, and that is both offensively and defensively. Post him up, let him slide outside and knock down the 3, fadeaway, it doesn't matter when he is on. And Duncan has stated that nobody guards him better than Sheed. I haven't watched the Stones religiously like I did before but the games I see and the effort the starting 5 and the new and improved bench puts out (Maxiell is a MONSTER) it's hard to argue that they have a legit chance at it. Best part? Thanks to Boston they are under the radar big time despite some analysts picking them to win it all.

With a 100% healthy team, yes. Add Hossa and yes turns into hell yea.

Awesome. Can't wait.

That has Hossa written all over it. Doooooo it Kenny.

I see him doing this just to do something at the trade deadline (sorta like the 11 player trade in the NBA). Though there is someone else you can get involving Flip.

What, is he just going to pick a big scorer from mid-air? You don't get any bigger than Hossa with all the people out there right now.

I never said that I didn't understand that. I have a question: Why do they call it upsets if all teams are equal?

LMAO, you don't watch football do you? *edit* I will give you all the money I have when the Lions beat New England or any team of that caliber in the playoffs.

So if the Lions were to somehow make the playoffs do they have the same chance as let's say New England? The answer is no.

If we got Bear Grylls I would challenge Pronger to mess with Bear while someone holds him [bear] down to the ground and see how he would fair. Obviously he would get his ass kicked. Bear would somehow shimmy out of their grasp doing some crazy special ops british move, make a hockey stick out of bamboo (which he could use as part of a shelter or perhaps a raft later on during the game, you NEVER know when the elements are going to strike), a helmet out of bark, and gloves out of twigs and grass. Bear would then check Pronger to the ground, drop his makeshift helmet, stick and gloves and promptly beat Pronger into submission. Bear, physically drained from all of this, proclaims that "in the wild you have to be able to think on your toes, and use every little bit of your surroundings, you never know when the deadly puuuma (his silly english accent) is going to strike." Someone would then throw an octopus on the ice. This excites Bear as "the battle has left him physically and emotionally drained and octopus means protein and instant energy he needs to continue on."

Ahhh, (doing my best Bear Grylls voice) but in the wild you can't count on sheer size, speed, agility, dominance and a wicked snap shot. Sometimes you have to think about what keeps you going. And for me that's my wife and kid. I don't care if you stayed in a hotel Bear, you still eat raw goat ********, drink your own urine and jump into bogs with dead deer bits.

I call Bear Grylls

I was so mad at facebook, I tried to get it up asap (without telling anyone...I also just realized how that sounded, my mind is in the gutter) but the bastards would not send me a confirmation e-mail. Oh well. Put some filler in that Cali and you can write a thesis on this thread.

If that is the case I'm all for Mr. Illitch giving Holland the boot and bringing in Mr. Dombrowski, at least we know Mr. Dombrowski has the cojones to make big moves.
