For sure. Helm should not be in the top 6.

Any animosity towards Cleary is misdirected. He didn't have a gun to Kenny's head.

Looking for 2 more managers for my Yahoo hockey league. Anyone interested? http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/8893/invitation

Statistics are meaningless out of context. You can't just look at point totals and draw conclusions based on that. An Art Ross, Hart, and 1st AST trumps everything Hakan Loob and Mats Naslund did combined.

Steen was an above average player for a long time, but I wouldn't consider him to be in the top ten of anything except a best Jets players list.

I disagree. When you disregard play outside the NHL, Henrik Sedin is a more accomplished player than either Hakan Loob or Mats Naslund.

This was my first impression. Sundin and Salming had very similar careers. No Stanley Cups or major awards, and both spent most of their careers toiling away on some pretty mediocre Leafs teams. However, both players were considered top players in the league at their respective positions. Anyways, my list looks like this: Lidstrom Forsberg Salming Sundin Naslund Alfredsson Zetterberg Henrik Sedin Nilsson I can't decide if I want Pelle Lindberg or Mats Naslund in the last spot. I'll let it remain a tie.

Neither player did enough in Detroit to deserve such an honor.

I had a feeling the Wings would go after Salei. We're always grabbing guys just past their prime and/or coming off of injuries. If he stays healthy, he's an upgrade over Lilja, and at a bargain price to boot. I really like our defense this year. Lidstrom-Rafalski, Stuart-Kronwall, Salei-Ericsson. A nice mix of elite offensive and defensive talent with a little grit mixed in. This will be a great group to show Kindl the ropes.

I wouldn't mind going after Ruslan Salei. He'll play with an edge, and he's never won the cup, so he'll be motivated. He made $3.275 last season, but he's 35 and coming off an injury, so I think Kenny could snag him for around $1.

I thought we could use a thread to keep track of all the moves the Lions have made this offseason. Kitna was traded and they let Orlovsky walk. Letting two quarterbacks go leads me to believe that the Lions may draft a quarterback. What does everyone else think?

The ice was tipped toward the American net all night, and Ryan Miller bailed us out. None of the blame should fall on Babcock.

This is a very interesting idea, but I don't think the league is expanding anytime soon. I love the alignment of the divisions and the playoff structure. If the league really wanted to promote rivalries within the division, it would go back to divisional playoffs.

Because Fedorov burned every bridge on the way out of town, and he still shows up every few years to make sure the ashes are still smoldering. The rafters of Joe Louis Arena are reserved for the players with a winged wheel tattooed to their soul.

The Hockey Gods are obviously pissed at us for something, and we need to appease them. Anyone ever see the Wicker Man?

At first, I thought Gillis was getting upset over nothing, but after thinking about it, I tend to side with him. If Bieksa or Burrows heard about this, they may feel undervalued, and that could create problems in the locker room. I'm sure Burke didn't mean any harm, but he should be more careful about what he says.

My thoughts exactly. I'd love to see a Wings-Pens rematch in the finals, but my second choice would be Flyers-Ducks.

This is the correct answer. The six best players in franchise history, and everyone is playing their natural position.

How is Bowman not in the top 3? This list sucks.

I haven't read through this thread, so I don't know what the overall opinion is, but anyone that boos Hossa is a ******* idiot. The guy did us a favor by signing a one year deal below market value when other teams were offering him $10 million/year. Hossa deserves a standing ovation his first game back at the Joe.

I have to work also. Luckily, there's a TV available, and while I won't be able to devote the kind of attention to this game that I would like to, it's better than not watching it at all.

Michel Therrien? Is that you? We lost last night because we didn't play our game until the third period. And to answer the OP's question, there is no way in hell I will miss game 7. These are the moments you live for as a fan.

I don't feel like reading through every page, but has anyone mentioned DRIVE! yet?
