Wingseroo

Vlady should be in that list of defensmen for the Wings... Tragedy aside he would have been one of the all-time best defensmen, and people sometimes forget he was the stopper on that first cup team not Lidstrom...

Losers on Friday still have a Bronze Medal game...

"?" USA isn't one of the top 2 favorites to win a gold, heck not even top 5 before the Olympics started... Canada was and in their house... How can the USA team choke? They have already surpassed all pre-tourney predictions by taking the #1 out of their bracket... Team Canada on the other hand...

That was the greatest empty netter I have ever seen...

Why are people so surprised that most of us USA born Red Wings fans are pulling for USA?

USA!!!

Canada playing undisciplined hockey... Looks like USA has taken control of the tempo...

Didn't Crosby throw his teammates under the bus his rookie year in the press?

Shouldn't giving up good scoring chance rebounds actually hurt his SV% by giving higher percentage opps to the opponents? He is what he is a great rookie Goalie on a team trying to find its identity....

I have never seen Ovechkin accused of not playing with emotion... Oh wait, you were calling the guy that is the 2nd best player on his team the best player in the league... I get it...

You realize that Rafalski is American right? In fact from Michigan? Why would he sing the Canadian National Anthem?

I think it was more like comparing himself to Flip... I like Flip... Teams need guys like Flip... Truth is I think Hudler is a better offensive player then Flip is a 2 way guy... You need both types... Lets revisit this in 10 years and see what happens... I think Huds comes back to the NHL at some point just because it is the NHL... I then think he will probably be a solid 60-80 pts a year guy for some team for a few years... I think Flip has more longevity the type of player he is, but I think 28-34 years old Hudler might shine more...

Do not compare Zetts deal with this one... The difference in pay at the back end of this one is a lot different... I said when he got signed by Chicago looked like a 6 or so year deal with a buyout or retirement... Zetts will play out his contract or have money added depending on the market in a few years... These deals are nothing alike...

In the real world a black player with skills like Ovechkin would probably create a small wave of black interest in Hockey if they played in a USA urban center... Iginla was that good if he had started and produced young in Philly or NY... He didnt though... Grier is not going to be the Hockey Tiger Woods playing in Detroit if he did...

Anyone that doesnt have Kipper rated as one of the better goalies in the league is still sore from a playoff loss 5 years back... I mean honestly when you try knocking a guy down by saying "Well he is no Brodeur", I mean you are comparing him against the best goalie of the last 30 years... Roy wasnt as good as Brodeur... And Ed Belfour was a choke artist... Funny how a Turco would follow him in net at Dallas... I have 2.04 GAA average, and yet cant beat Detroit... They must be related... Ok so Kipper is not Brodeur (but then who is?), but it can be argued he is in company with pretty much the rest of the NHL's top goalies...
