Such as?

Georges Laraque is no softy either. I don't get it.

You've just been used to the looser fitting ones. Go back in history and you'll see that the ones they used to wear were a lot tighter than these new jerseys.

Dino not being in the Hall has nothing to do with him not winning a Cup. The guy is a jackass and no one wants to vote for him, simple as that. In my opinion, he probably needs to be there solely because he has scored 600+ goals, but you take that away, what argument do you really have? He's not even a point per game player and he's never won a single individual award in his career.

The Fan 590 is a Toronto radio station.

But consider where he stood on the teams he played for. Ignoring his rookie year, he lead his team in scoring in all but 1 of the next 9 years (year he didn't, he was 2nd to Hawerchuk...not a bad player). After that, he only played one more full season in his career and he was the leading scorer for his team that year. He was the 2nd leading scorer for a few years before he really started to decline by only playing in 50-60 games or so.

Another glaring error in the article:

I know, but I assumed that we all have known what his height and weight are and have known for awhile. I was thinking that the person knew that and then thought that he is bigger than expected after looking at the pictures.

What do you mean? Are you looking at the picture and thinking he is bigger than you expected? If so, not sure how you can put his size in perspective without seeing him around other players.

I don't even know what I wore yesterday, why so much interest in what someone else was wearing?

Not that I care one way or another, but AO himself would probably be the one person that would most want to deny that this happened, so him saying it didn't happen doesn't really mean anything.

Not so sure about that. The Wings have been a defense first team for awhile now. Last year's stats (I THINK....): Goals for - 10th Goals against - 1st

Okay, how about a woman who loses her engagement ring?

Yeah, that's a good anology. Does the ball actually belong to Bonds? Does it have his name inscribed on it? Can't believe the number of people saying "finders keepers", hope none of you ever lose anything important to you, like your wallet, car keys, etc.

Richard? Potentially. Art Ross? Not likely.

Hence the nickname "Habs"

One of the biggest reasons why the Wings are not on HNIC more is the schedule since they do not play agains the Canadian teams very often. The CBC is a crown corporation, therefore, they are going to have almost all Canadian content, but even if it was a private corporation, they would still likely show almost exclusively Canadian teams, since that is what would sell. While some viewers in the US receive CBC programming, almost all of the CBC audience is Canadian and the majority would prefer watching a Canadian team play. With respect to Toronto and having to watch them 13 weeks in a row or whatever the number is, it actually depends on your geographic region. If you are in central Canada and most of Ontario, yes, it will always be Toronto games, but if you are in Eastern Ontario you'll get Ottawa games, if you are in Quebec and Eastern Canada, you'll get Montreal games. I grew up in Nova Scotia and it was very rare that I would see a Toronto game on HNIC. If you are in Western Canada you get Western teams, but for the most part, the games are at different times so you normally get Toronto and the local team.

To be honest, I thought EVERY Wings fan would remember that goal. I didn't watch the video, but I'm assuming it's the goal he scored in the SCF.

I'm guessing the number is on the right side on the picture with the hangers simply so you could see it. If it was on the left side, it would be half-covered.

Well, Hasek is 8 years older and he is still around, don't see much of an issue in playing for 5 more years at his age.

Whenever I think of Savard I think of the goal he scored against the Oilers. I still see that as one of the best, if not "the best" goals of all time.

I think it is just due to a crease in the jersey. If you lay them flat out on a table, I'm sure the logo would actually look the same as the old.

Fisher will be an UFA after next season (July 1, 2008).

You can't simply assume that Penner is going to even produce the same as he did last year, that's where the risk is.

Roy's contract was not the result of an arbitration hearing. I can absolutely guarantee you that had he gone to arbitration, he wouldn't have been awarded $4 million.
