It's like chosing Doink the Clown over Hulk Hogan, or Pauly Shore over Robert DeNiro... Lovable, but just shouldn't cut it as "favourites" in any walk of life.

I applaud you for acknowledging some skillful hard nosed players as opposed to talentless GOONS.

This is the toughest list I ever had to make... 1. Toews 2. Ovechkin 3. Exelby 4. Getzlaf 5. Crosby Honourable mentions: Fedorov, Malkin, Phaneuf, Weber

The Ducks of 07/08 resemble the Avs of 03/04... Sakic, Tanguay, Hejduk, Forsberg, Blake, Selanne, Kariya, Foote... What did they do? NOTHING. Ladies and gentlemen, chemistry wins cups, not lousy fantasy teams on paper. Being the only dominant team in the regular season is not a fluke, and this season is our best chance to win the cup since 01/02, regardless of not signing Forsberg, Sundin, Hossa, whoever... Bottom line, we are an amazing team, with the team we have. No significant changes need to be made... AT ALL.

To LA - Sammy, Detroit's 1st picks in '08 and '09 To DET - Blake, LA's 1st pick in '08 A stab at Stamkos or Doughty. :):) Come on, LA would do it, right... Right?

Might have a bit to do with it, yeah. Not to mention defensemen seemed easier to get around. I think it would just be safer to say that Mike Bossy was the best pure goal scorer of any era.

Names not mentioned yet... Mike Fisher Michael Peca John Madden Jay Pandolfo Sammy Pahlsson Jere Lehtinen Craig Conroy

It's not THAT much of a stretch to consider Bure at least one of the best. If you really want to heat up the discussion, try to consider how good the goalies were in Bure's era, as opposed to Bossy's era.

They say Alfredsson and Zetterberg are amongst the least clutch players... I'm not down.

Damn I forgot to add Ted Nolan as one of my favourites.. He should be one of the most respected coaches in the league, and I'd be damned to see him on anyone's most hated list.

Five favourites actually, are... 1. Babcock 2. Savard 3. Carbonneau 4. Ruff 5. KEENAN

1. Paul Maurice 2. Marc Crawford 3. John Tortorella 4. Craig MacTavish 5. Wayne Gretzky

Great addition, and it helps that he grew up a huge Wings fan too... Creates more desire.

Nobody ever rated Lemieux as a hitter, but he has been in a few fights. People label him as the guy who could protect himself, unlike Gretzky.

- Lidstrom is the reason our team gets 15-20 shots against per game. - Lidstrom is the reason that Rafalski is having his best season yet. - Lidstrom is on pace for the best +/- total in over 10 years. So many factors come into play here. I think his only downfall is lack of goal scoring, but if he nets over 10 goals this year, it shouldn't be an issue. I am not a biased person, but from a hockey fan's perspective, he should take it. The team is dynamite, and when it all comes down to it, he's a good reason.

...'Cause he started singing... Bye, bye Ms. American Pie, drove his chevy to the levee but the levee was dry...

I don't see Naslund on anyone else's list... Am I actually the only one who can't stand him. Dude never smiles and always seems depressed in interviews. Also one of the most overrated players in the game today.

Jack in Speed, Neo in The Matrix trilogy, and most importantly TED THEODORE LOGAN in the Bill & Ted Series... Maybe his other roles were mediocre at best, but those 3 characters cause me to believe he's great.

I don't think looking like a good Canadian actor or playing for certain teams should justify hating a player, PLAYA HATA!

I am very happy I searched up "Red Wings forums" in a search engine, and got this site. I dearly thank my boredom for this forum, and ever since I think I have added a good presence here. Ahh, I love tootin' my own horn . Best Wing fans on the planet come here!

A lot of Kariya hate... Can anybody explain this? He's a good, harmless soul the way I see it.

1. Pronger 2. McCabe 3. Perry 4. Tucker 5. Naslund All Time... 1. Pronger 2. C. Lemieux 3. Roy 4. Yashin (Can't include him as active, right?) 5. Primeau

If the NCAA and the CHL played against each other in an all star game right now, I think the CHL would kill them.

The worst trade for us had to be the Federko trade. If we would have kept Oates, and MacLean for that matter, we would have had an even more successful 90's, and in Oates' benefit, we would have got him a cup.

I find everything good, except when they always play "Paralized" by Finger Eleven. That song sucks.
