My best freind's grandapa is a dog sled racer and is the reason Uwe got in deep s*** with the organization for racing sled dogs instead of playing. She has pics and everything. UWE..... What a douchebag!

Now don't get me wrong I love lidstrom but Crosby is arguably the Best player in the league. He is a one man army! LOL

Love em! Best new jerseys yet!

Dave lewis was soft. What would motivate a player more?: Lewis(in a soft voice) Um guys I don't mean to sound mean but you need to get to the front of the net. Your not playing hard enough. But if we lose pat yourselves on the back Babs: YOU STUIPID LAZY BASTARDS! GET THE F*CK OFF UR LAZY ASSES AND HIT SOMETHING! HIT EVERTHING THAT MOVES! GET TO THE FRONT OF THE NET OR I AM BENCHING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU LAZY PEICES OF s***! Now I know that was a bit of an exaggeration but The point is, Mike babcock gets in ppl's faces. ANd in the world of hockey soft spoken coaches can't motivate their team the way scotty could or even babcock. I know it always motivated my team when our coach would scream at us. plus the soft aproach never worked.

Yes I love the new pittsburg jeserys!

I love em. but then again I have liked most of the new jerseys!

Umm new to the league? Where have you been. He's been playing sense 1999-00 season. So no he is not "NEW" the the league! Rookie Mistakes? Like what? And it wasn't a fluke

No one special? Are u crazy? Hmm let me ;ist a few goaltenders that take control of the game: Broduer, Truco, MILLER!!!, Luongo, Kipursoff, Gigure, Emery, Lundqvist, Nabok and Toskala(not quite proven himself but will !) Raycroft And MAYBE Cam Ward and I am sure there are quite a few backups in the league that should get honarable mention. So to prove my point most of the starters don't suck. because if they did they probably wouldn't start.(Yes I know there are exceptions, I.E. Dan cloutier in VAN a few years back) "Luongo may be said goalie that I'm looking for in a couple years, but as of now I'm not especially impressed." : Not impressed? he played for a s*** team(FLA and now VAN) and still remained one of the top goalies the league as far as stats wise. And if I recall a few year we played florida and luongo faced like 60 + shots and stopped like at least 59! so how is it that your not impressed "(Brodeur is a goalie from the last generation (Hasek is also). In addition to that Broduer is on the decline. Yes hes still a good goalie, but hes not going to be here for 5 more years (hes not on the Wings, am I right *nudge nudge*). Turco's win percentage is hovering around .500 somewhere, and has been a constant disappointment in the playoffs until last year, and even still they couldn't get past the first round)": Are u completley crazy? "Also I'm not going to give Giguere or Roloson credit for beating us in the playoffs. We beat ourselves by shooting 95% of all our shots directly into their pads and leaving our goalies out to hang in some crucial moments": But they still stopped us!!!!!"

Not another forsberg thread.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

IMO the standings should be decided by division/conference wins. If the top two teams are tied for points at the end of the season, it should be decided by who has the better record. Exapmle: Say Detroit & Nashville are tied for the top spot in the west. And the season series went 6 games to 2 in favor of Detroit, detroit would get the 1st seed because they won more games

I actually meant to add the florida teams but forgot. They should be relocated to canada even if Tampa does have a cup.

This sounds kinda funny but I would love to see the original 6 a division! But considering the time zone issues that would never happen. What I would like to see happen: Move L.A., San Jose, Anaheim, Nashville, all to canadian cities.(It is a canadian sport after all!!!!!) I would also put detroit in the eastern conference or put toronto in the west(I prefer det. to the east so we could play the other 4 origianls 6 teams) I would scrap the WHL because of the simple fact it folded. To be a bit off subject: As far as our schedule goes I would like to see the inner division games lowered to 6 a year instead of eight. Those eight remaining would be scheduled for original six teams. So to clear the confusion up: 6 games played against each team in our division and 2 games apeice against N.Y.R, TOR, BOS and MTL

Ok I understand people still being bitter about fedorov leaving detroit. But my question is, why are people using term "WASHED UP" or HAS-BIN. Players like Lindros, Yashin, Curtis Joseph, Leclair, Nolan. Those guys are Washed up. Lindros because of injuries(Considering early in his career he was labled the next big thing.) I know the last few years fed's production has dropped greatly but here are a few reasons, 2005-06 season-Injuries- He was injured(only 62 games played) 06-07 season- he played half of the season on the blueline. IMO he is still one of the best two players in the game. And for people to say you couldn't compare him to abel or lindsey is very laughable. The year he went to anaheim, he notched 30+ goals that year. So he had a couple of off years. It happens. He is only HUMAN!!!!!! He is one of the few players in the league(Crosby, sakic, Forsberg...........) that can take a game over by HIMSELF. If he is so "WASHED UP", Why is it everytime we play against the jackets,(or any other team plays them) the top defense pairing always trys to contain him?..... Because he is still one of the most dangerous players in the leauge. He'd be the last person I would want rushing in on a break-away towards dom. And still has one of the most lethal slapshot in the league? Now I am not trying to piss people off but I just don't understand how people are labeling him Washed up. No he is not the same player he used to be, but is still an elite forward

Geez I didn't mean to cause such an uproar. And actually I ment this to be a response to the Forsberg vs Fedorov thread but goofed. Sorry

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Well considering they also have one of the worst bluelines in the league doesn't mean he is washed up

And when did I say he was? I was just saying I didn't see why people are labeling him Washed up

I know, I just had to get it off my chest. Feds is STILL one of my favorite players of all time!

Can anyone say crosby and malkin? But I do see your point. Because Ryan smith is not the caliber player that Crosby is, and not that this is a debate on the two, I was just saying that two players can turn a whole franchise around. But Homer IMO is a better player

Well considering he only averaged like 5 mins a game adn scored 15 goals, says alot. I think he is ready to take the next step and become a 1st-2nd line forward

Yeah know last night I think...No I know we got out played and pretty much didn't deserve the win. Except I will say that We did out play them in the later stages of the 3rd and in OT. But it pisses me off because we were trying to be to pretty with all the b.s. passes and what not. And all those b.s. shots on net. No follow up, nobody crashing the net, nobody chasing the puck after itt is dumped in. WHat gives?
