    Question: Why do Wings fans hate the Canucks?

    He is still one of the best goalies in the league and he clearly has sort of psychological issue in the playoffs. Also, what do you mean his comments and attitude? He seems to be one of the nicer guys in the league and I think he has always had a good and positive attitude from what I see. Was what he said about Thomas really that bad? He should be getting 10/year

    Who needs a catching glove to play goal anyway

    No, No, NO! Jagr interested in Detroit.

    Would love to see Jagr on the Wings

    Latest Rumor: NHL Team Expected to Announce Rebranding in 2012

    Seems just like a rumor to me

    I do feel sorry for Luongo though

    Changes in the offseason

    If we could somehow land Bieksa I would consider this offseason a huge success

    Filppula & The Selke

    Alright, I still disagree with your main conclusion that he is even in the top 5 without Dats or Z (and I'm sorry but lol at taking 2 of the very best defensive forwards in the league out of the discussion). I think why I reacted the way I did in my post was because your title and mentioned the Selke and the fact that he isn't even top 3 on his team has a lot of relevance to your OP and main point. Just to give you a hyperbole.... I think that Zetterberg and Datsyuk could win the Art Ross or be top 3 if Crosby, Ovechkin or the Sedin twins weren't in the league. Seems kinda funny that you would say he has a chance at the Selke but you have to make exclusions to winning the trophy. Aside from the Red Wings I think guys like J. Staal, M. Richards, J. Toews, R. Kesler, and the list goes on are better than Flip. Is he a good defensive forward? Absolutely, however, I think we tend to exercise a lot of bias when we compare Red Wings to other players in the league especially in a category like this because let's face it, shut down forwards don't get a lot of hype.

    Question: Why do Wings fans hate the Canucks?

    I was actually cheering for the Canucks every series but here's some pretty simple reasons why I would dislike the team: Mouth piece Lapierre Piece of s*** Burrows (Do Canucks fans even like Burrows?) Sedins just taking punches and the rest of team just allowing the opposition to take advantage of their best players The team that dives the most (including teams that compete in the sport of diving) The way some of them handle the media and call out their own players (Kesler) No one really on the team that stands out as "super likeable" But I still don't hate them and like them more than Boston but the above should give you a start

    Hudler's Future

    I would like to see him get another chance since he is already signed and he has shown a lot of promise in the past.

    No, No, NO! Jagr interested in Detroit.

    Jagr is one of the most skilled players in NHL history. Yes, he is way past his prime but there are certainly situations where he can still be effective, I am all for signing him if he's able to swallow his pride and take a pretty low paying 1 year contract.

    Wings unlikely to sign Osgood/Draper

    Hope to see both of these guys gone by next year. Love them both but they do not contribute like they need to be on a nightly basis and there are players ready to take both of their roles.

    Weber and Parise headed to arbitration

    Ya, I think the possibility of landing Weber is a pipe dream but it is a nice dream

    Morons at large

    This is totally disgusting the videos and pictures that are seen of Vancouver. Hopefully, next year's losers will show a little more respect for their own city than Vancouver did

    Does anybody want to touch a goaltender that's played in Philly in the past decade?

    Watching the Bruins championship parade, kinda wish this was happening in Detroit

    James Wisniewski

    Either Bieksa or Wisniewski would be alright options with me

    Weber and Parise headed to arbitration

    Thinking Weber gets re-signed. Parise is a very interesting case with how last year shaked out for him and the Devils. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up on the Dallas Stars if Richards ends up leaving town.

    Red Wings Name New Assistant Coaches

    Hitchcock would be awesome but he seems like he should be in the market for a head coaching job

    Ya, highly doubt Bryzgalov would sign for 1 million a year for 5 years, definitely 5 million over 1 year
  21. Never_Retire_Steve

    Jagr back in NHL ?

    Jagr is awesome and still has tons of skill, would be an awesome guy to have on the 2nd PP

    Wow, Philly's situation is a mess, wonder how their season shakes up next year with their cap troubles

    The person below me game...

    God yes, I work out over an hour 6 days a week and play 4 sports in the summer/fall and 2 others in winter/spring so I need it. The person below me is in a slow pitch league

    Congrats to Timmy Thomas

    The only guy that I liked on Boston so I'm happy for him.... the rest of the team... meh
