Wow, give it up guys. It's pretty immature.

The mods need sleep too. Well that or they are too busy celebrating the Yankees victory (JEDI I'm looking at you).

This is the best and most accurate posts in this thread!! Two thumbs UP!!!!! With Crosby being the great ambassador of the game that he is, he needs to step forward and promote the rest of the talent that the NHL has to offer. After all, he is the GOD of the NHL now, he should take it upon himself to make sure other players are recognized for their talent. I'm sorry; is that too much to ask from the great sidney crosby? Yes, I'm sorry but there was no excuse for that. And if you try to blame a damn interview then maybe you shouldn't be doing interviews??RIGHT?? I mean Crosby being the "great leader" of the "model franchise" of the "NHL" not shaking hands as is the tradition in the NHL is beyond a joke. He should have been stripped the "Captaincy" for that. That is just something that is not excusable and something I don't think any of us have ever seen a "Captain" do before in the NHL. Great for Crosby, he can have another record to his name. Total *******. Too good to shake Nick Lidstrom's hand after he won his first Cup. Defiantly something I would hate to be known for. Yes. Of course you are right. It's the Journalist fault that Crosby did not partake in the National Hockey League Tradition of shaking your opponents hand after a series. Or wait, maybe it was the Red Wings fault. Maybe they were leaving the ice too early? Well this kind of thing happens all the time, right? OH NO, it's the first. But yeah, I see what you're saying. Crosby gets a "special pass" since he was "doing an interview." He totally had no control over the situation. wow.

So now you want Jimmy to be fired? Please, your comments are asinine and completely out of control! And it's obvious that Jimmy is talking about winning the West. So what if he thinks it would be a near impossible to win the West this year. Most fans would agree if they didn't have their blinders on.

Yeah, don't even get me going on this.

I wonder if the fact that before Wirtz passed on, the Hawks weren't even on TV in Chicago! I mean, how are they supposed to generate fan interest when they don't even play the games on TV? That was pretty pathetic that folks had to actually go to the game to watch it. Hell, if my team wouldn't even play their games on TV I'm not sure how much I'd be willing to support them $$ wise by buying tickets to the games. Just something to factor in when you all are knocking the Hawks for their poor attendance records.

Thanks! I wonder how many people didn't get that message?

To be fair, the Pistons always said they were sold out even if they weren't in the past.

Babcock on postgame.... EDIT: Link now up on Mlive.

OH poor baby Boudreau go cry to your momma. Sorry to hear somebody hurt your feelings. How sad! I need to read better. I thought this was about martain broudeur the goalie

Well they are the model franchise, right bettman? I hate them. And if they repeat as Cup Champs which everybody in hockey wants, us Wings fans will never hear the end of it.

If they give up on Howard I am going to be pissed. He's only 25 and most goalies get real good later in life. I say hang on to him as a backup at least for this year.

Suprised this isn't pinned.

Cool man! I'll take you at your word! So I bet we could really take on some salary if we wanted to. Thanks for clearing this up for me and anyone else reading this!

I'm totally lost. I just don't get it. At first I thought that what you are saying is true, but then a whole debate took place in the Franzen thread and it was decided that the way I am seeing it now is the way it actually works. Isn't that what we decided Drake???

Right, but only until those guys come off the LTIR. Then you have to be cap compliment again, and you can't do that by added more salary (the new player) when the Wings would already be at the Cap Limit as we were when we started the season. ??

The more I think about it the more sense it makes to keep the ZDH line together. They need to get back their chemistry they had 2 years ago. Especially now w/ all the injuries. We need that line to be killer and help us win games. And by killer, I mean one of the best lines in the entire NHL.

IDK, but pretty sure that is how the cap works and we'd be over the cap if we added more payroll once Frazen and Flip is back. It'd work for the time until Frazen came back. At least that's what I gathered from the Franzen thread. Drake......isn't that right??

Swap those two and keep our 4th line together that played tonight. Bertuzzi is more proven than Leino.

ROFLMAO!!! Yep, and he's gonna be pissed you already posted this thread! Keep that 4th line together though!!

Now that you've brought this up, watch the Pens sign Shanny.

Thing is, even if the we were to make a trade that player would not be allowed to be on the rostor once Franzen returned. Then what?

I'm with you guys. This is a huge blow. He's been playing great this year. Look for Dats and Z to get split up..

Isn't the cap confusing enough? These might be good ideas, but I am too confused to tell. No offense EUZ
