    The Best of Samuelsson

    Your right, but to dismiss everything he said isn't right either, his cash per production is worth him on the team alone. Maybe if he cost us defensively for his point production you would have a valid point, but you just don't like Sammy and probably no matter what he does you won't. Granted we all would prefer him on the 3rd line but he is a worthy player to SUB in if an injury occurs and I don't mind him on the team.

    Now, that is smacking someone with logic and fact. Nobody claims he is amazing but he gets the job done and is underpaid if anything. He gets the worst rap for no really good reason.

    After 'hiding from everybody,' Emery tries to right ship

    You know if he comes back humble he will be loved, because everyone will know he go this come upins.

    Pitt interest in Gaborik

    Staal for sure would be involved in that deal, from what I heard he at least wants 5 mill.

    Tomas Holmstrom

    How many hockey players can actually say their smile improved over the years.

    I'm not hostile at all about it and actually I'm indifferent to Sammy. I just think for the money he is worth he does a good job, and no Mark Hartigan would not do as good as Sammy.

    Chelios, Downey, McCarty, and Quincey

    It's time for Cheli to retire and stick around teaching the youngins how to play

    Please tell me his contract compared to the others. I'm not saying he is better but he certainly isn't getting paid as much as few of those names yet has produced just as much. If you just dislike Sammy thats fine but that arguement is weak.

    def. an underrated player. There really is no great reason why people hate him, there just always has to be one. Since he doesn't have Dats moves or fights like Downey then he gets a bad rap.

    Datsyuk interview

    Best line: I have ambitious plans, but I won't talk about. This is going to be a surprise

    Wild waive Mark Parrish

    and yet people still think Minn. will make the playoffs, sorry but the whole NW is overrated a bunch of good teams at the same level, none really will compete for a Cup until maybe a few years.

    Filppula signs 5-Year, $15M contract

    I wasn't mentioning it because of his playoff run, I was more thinking about his cap hit. On top of that maybe giving the old man a long time to get ready would be good.

    Filppula signs 5-Year, $15M contract

    Why doesn't Chelios just sit out for most of the season and sign at the trade deadline? That way his cap. won't hurt but he will still be part of the team.

    Are we really Hockeytown?

    In the words of D-Mac "I'll punch anyone in the face" who thinks we aren't hockeytown USA

    Which nation would have the top 2 forward lines?

    America easily, because before the games we drug every other team.

    Detroit's Three Home and Home Eastern Conf teams

    so we get to play the apparent last year and year before hockeytowns.....

    Pavel vs Pavel

    FINE, looks like I have to be the one to say it our Pavel is the best stickhandler in the league, and he would beat out Bure

    Filppula Elects Salary Arbitration

    ******* A HOLLAND IS THE MAN, seriously he just is the ******* man.

    Filppula Elects Salary Arbitration

    Sorry I maybe the minority but he reminds me to much of Dats to give up on him yet. I know he may never become that level but you can just see both sides of his game yet they haven't connect, but when they DO. WATCH THE f*** OUT.

    Filppula Elects Salary Arbitration

    Am I the only one who's nervous and just want him Z and Franzen all signed for a long long time, throw Hossa in there too

    McCarty offered contract

    Why can't we have both on 2 way contracts?
  23. ben_usmc

    Yesterday was a very bad day....

    Not that we NEED IT, but I really see us having both Downey and Mac if they are willing to go for min. because we will need even more protection now that the ONLY way a team will be able to slow us down is to just cheapshot us. But I do agree the top lines can for the most part take care of themselves.
  24. ben_usmc

    Pressure now to get Filppula signed

    Well could be why we brought Leano in also, by the way the Wings said Flip was a big reason why he came to Detroit so I would say thats a good sign.
