Even so they could have still protected this poor lads face and head. Obviously "disrespect" is going to happen and does happen at every level. Making the kids wear full face shield while it won't prevent everything, will minimize a lot more.

That was a nice little two hander Crosby had to start the fight... No penatly i gather? They stopped it out of embarrasment... Crosby fights like a little boy who was told he had to go to his room without being allowed to play WoW

maybe they should mandate that all kiddies (until they can protect themselves) wear full faceshields and keep their helmets tight on their heads... that should be a rule too. The OHL in general is a joke when it comes to protection... they wear 1/2 shields on their helmets but have the helmets so far up on their heads that the shield is more a protector of their Hair line then it is of their eyes... then again 16yr olds going through puberty just descovering girls... maybe they need to protect their hairlines a bit more than adults. i do agree with this.... sometimes you just have to learn the hard way... in a few short years that 16yr old will go from being the top of the pile to low end of much older and "bigger boys" They are in the OHL trying to make it to pros and knowing they are playing against teams with high NHL draft picks on them.... They know the risks. Then again those that can't learn to play in the 15-20yr old bracket... probably WON'T have to worry about the "big kids" in the NHL...

I am excited about the new defensive pairings... they can't be any worse then what we have had with our "regulars" in

Doesn't help that the EMS people...... DROPPED MIKE at the 1:18 mark!!!!! lmao... they should be suspended as well. Maybe they felt he wasn't hurt enough!

I would love to see Kenny call 1-800-hansons and get Jeremy Roenick locked up for a bit of this season

M-59 is fine going east and west the route you are going.... even with all the construction on the weekend. Last sunday we took 59 from pontiac to st.claire shores area around the same time you would be going and coming back from B-dubs and there was no issues.

McCrimmon gets confirmed as a Positive piggy flu specimen and is thus shipped off to the feds for experimental testing... never to be seen again by metro detroiters! in other news... Wings! DON'T SUCK!

He came to westland mall a few times a few years ago... i got a picture signed by him as well as his game uses stick autographed. he doesn't come cheap though... back then it was $40 a 'graph I really just use the winery tours and tastings as my excuse to go there

its almost like having our players who are veterans go down for conditioning stints in the AHL... granted the ages are a bit different, but the OHL does have its fair share of "overage" players as well. Each team is allowed to carry 3 older players... unless they up'd that this season. Moving away from Compuware area I haven't been able to go to any games this season.

Going to see the Pistons tonight.... 3rd time every in my life going to see a basketball game (including watching a full game on tv) So we shall see how that will be. I am wearing my wings jersey because i couldn't stomach spending a dime on anything basketball. Tickets were an Engagement gift from Adriannes boss so we kinda have to go and sort of pay attention. But the seats are 10 rows off the floor behind the pistons bench so it might not be all bad. look for me on TV in a wings jersey in section 116

I know we (whalers) lost James Neal to the Dallas Stars for a bit during his last season.... So it isn't all that uncommon in the later years for their NHL-Pro teams to use them then send them back... seems a bit unfair... but only to those that haven't been good enough to be drafted yet

I thought it was going to talk about the McCrimmon Virus... at least the flu will go away

lol rather safe prediction

some could argue the same with Whiner Gretzky... some people should remove themselves from the game after they retire. Just because you might have been something on the ice, doesn't mean you are something off the ice.

Probably another team from the west.... which looking at the schedule shows Anaheim, LA and SJ coming up this week. Pitts is not the best agains the west... which lucky for them they play in the east.

Ryan Kesler

fact 1) he blew as a player fact 2) the d's troubles started exactly when McClellan left for the Jose's and Bradly came aboard if he wasn't the only reason and he was wrongly off'd then the its still a win win situtation because the world is still less one former s***ty defensemen. s*** breeds s***! might as well end the s*** cycle now rather then later.

He could always tie cement blocks to McCrimmons legs and send him to the bottom of the Detroit River... I knows its a long shot because someone is bound to notice the defense playing much better upon his demise!

i am a big McCollum fan.... watched him tiressly in the "O"

we did go on to win a few cups after the 93-94 season..... so I say SWEET!

I lived through the 80s and the deadthigns... this right here and now is childs play! only the weak can't live through this!

This thread is about the best player in the game......... Ovechkin

Touche Touche people dont seem to get that

actually i hope it is... having to bad feet will render him useless
