    Exactly. Huge difference between the two. Luongo uses talent to win games. Giguere uses his large frame and even larger pads to win games. That is a huge difference, and if the league ever cracked down on Giguere, or he actually got in shape, he'd be exposed for the mediocre goaltender that he is.

    Congrats Ducks

    Why do you bother even coming here? Honestly, your team won the Cup (I assume you're a Ducks, judging by the way you talk), so just leave us all alone. Or if you are a Rangers fan, going by your username, then I'm ashamed that you actually support the Ducks, with Chris Pronger in toe. My opinion will not change whether you say they should or not. More than half of this board will agree with me about southern market teams, so I really don't give a flying f*** what you say. Yes, the Ducks put together a good team. And a week from now, nobody will remember at all. They'll all go back to watching the Dodgers, or waiting for the Lakers to start training camp. Don't deny it, you know it's true.

    Wow! What a great pickup! Porcella adds in some great pitching depth here. If we can get the others back, this lineup is looking solid once more.

    Thanks for screwing us all, Mr. Bettman

    You're not getting it though. The part we're all frustrated with is the fact that the Ducks "fans" hardly even gave a s*** after winning the Cup last night. The city of Anaheim has pretty much already forgotten about it, as Paris Hilton has made the top headline for the day. It's just frustrating when these teams win the Cup, and yet the fans don't care. I guerentee you that if the Wings had won it this year, it would be on the front page of every newspaper, and the city would be partying it's ass off right now. And it's not just Detroit. A lot of teams like Toronto, Motreal, Boston, New York, Chicago, Minnesota, Buffalo, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa, Philly, and even Long Island, would all be the same way. The fans of these teams appriciate the fact that their team won the Cup. The fans of teams like Anaheim really don't. That is what is so frustrating about it. And yes, Bettman is the one to blame here. He instituted the Salary Cap and the CBA, so teams like Anaheim could build winners, while established teams who actually have fans would fall into a state mediocrity, or be good but still not win the Cup in favor of these no nothing southern market teams. And I know you're from the south, so don't think that I am knocking the south in any way. The fact of the matter is though, is that a lot of these teams in the south have fans really don't care about winning the Cup like the fans of teams who play in the north The fact that these teams all play in northern areas may be mearly quincidentle (sp?), or it may not be. It depends on how you look at it. The reason we all hate Bettman is because he shows more support to teams who, quite frankly, don't have much of a fan base at all. He would rather see teams like Anaheim and Carolina win the Cup over Detroit or Toronto. And while he's never come out and said that in public, you know very well that that's his intentions. It has been from Day 1.

    Wild sign Backstrom to multi-year deal

    How could you not know who Jim Carey the goalie is? I mean, the man won a Vezina trophy. Even though he was just a flash-in-the-pan, it's still good. What a save by the Net Detective!

    New team websites, per NHL

    I know. The Wings official site is awful. It's hardly ever kept up to date, and really, it has nothing on it. It would be nice to see a new, better run site put in it's place. Well said.

    The Official Bettman sucks topic? Oh come on now. This must be the 1,000,000 Bettman rant topic that's been referred to as " The Official one". While I am disappointed with the fact that these low brow area teams keep winning, and the fans continue to not care, there's nothing that can be done about. Credit the team GM's for building these Championship teams. It also comes down to the fact that a lot of these teams all really sucked for a long time, and are now stockpiled with great draft picks. Like Anaheim for example. I would certainly like to see big market teams win the Cup again, no doubt. Teams like Detroit, Toronto, New York, Montreal, Boston, Philly, Minnesota, Buffalo, heck even Chicago would all throw huge celebrations and parades when their teams win the Cup. These teams like Anaheim only have one little parade, then it's back to talking about the offseason in the NFL, the Dodgers, or the Lakers. It's very dishearting that the people down there really don't care about hockey all that much, but what can you do? The GM's for these teams are able to build winners off of the new CBA. Bettman, at the very least, can be blamed for that.

    Congrats Ducks

    The LA Kings would be an exception, since LA is such a huge city. Not to mention the fact that a ton of actors like hockey, and all the northern transplants. Anaheim doesn't do it for me. It just doesn't. The city is nothing more than a suburb of LA to begin with. If the Kings would have won the year (a long shot, I know ) I would still be upset, because I am in no way a Kings fan, but at least something in the way of a big market would have won again. Tampa and Raleigh/Durham are both big cities, but that's about as far from a hockey market as you can get. LA at least has some good history behind, starting with the "Triple Crown Line" and the years that Gretzky was there. I'm just not big on the Ducks winning. If you guys can show me that the fans will care about winning the Cup at least one week after it happened, then maybe I'll re-think my thoughts. As of right now though, I'm not very happy about it.

    Was Pronger really the missing piece?

    Pronger wasn't the missing piece. If he was, Edmonton, St. Louis, and Hartford all would have won a Cup with him on the team.

    Balsillie wants a Cup run IN NASHVILLE!

    Good on you guys then. I hope the fans do start showing up. The Preds are a good team, so there is no reason why they shouldn't sell out every game. Heck, the ticket prices are so cheap, it really makes me wonder! But still though, I hope for the teams sake the fans become a little more interested.

    Wild sign Backstrom to multi-year deal

    Well, looks like he's not coming here now. Just all the more reason for Hasek to come back. Oh yeah, by the way, Manny Fernandez sucks ass. There is a reason why he has never been able to obtain a starting goaltenders job in all his years in Minnesota. Bringing in Fernandez would be about as smart as signing Alexei Yashin. No thank you.

    Heatley for Hossa

    Hossa and Heatley are about the same in natural ability. As far as the playoffs go, Hossa has been far worse than Heatley has during these SCF. Heatley was ripping other teams apart until the SCF came around, then he just went to sleep. He was still better this year than Hossa ever was in Ottawa though.

    who is the gritty forward you want?

    Hudler and Kopecky. Hudler can be traded, and Kopecky can be the 13th forward. We need someone who will stand up and defend his teammates, and Hudler and Kopecky are not the guys who will do it. Wiemer and Asham are, and they can both provide just as much offense as Kopecky.

    SCF Game 5 (6/6): Anaheim 6, Senators 2

    Brad May was pretty cool with his family out there. Though sometimes he is a dick, it was cool seeing him out there and share it with his family.

    Sick to my stomach

    I agree. I've watched 2 and a half games this year. Games 1 and 2 I didn't watch, mainly out of disinterest. Game 3 and 4 I did watch. Game 5 I watched in small intervals. I was flipping back and fourth through other channels, mainly because the game was just boring. I wanted Ottawa to win, which is mainly why I watched it. Now that they didn't, I've turned the TV off, and trying to forget this happened. I have to say though, like the past 4 fricken' seasons, this has, once again, been an ass boring SCF. When are we going to see a team with a real rivalry in it again? Give me Detroit/Toronto or Chicago/NY Rangers, or something. Stop with this bulls*** of two teams that play in cities that couldn't be further away from each other, and have no rivalry what-so-ever.

    SCF Game 5 (6/6): Anaheim 6, Senators 2

    I have a lot of respect for Neidermeyer and Selanne. It was even nice to see Travis Moen win it. It makes it all a little better. But then Pronger and Corey Perry actually touched the Cup. It was awful. What a disgusting feeling watching them lift it. Ugh.

    Congrats Ducks

    No tradition left in hockey. What, are the ******* Florida Panthers going to win it next year? Or Phoenix? I'm getting so tired of these bulls*** southern markets winning the Cup. A week from now, everyone will have already forgotten about it. If Detroit, NY Rangers, Toronto, or a real hockey market wins it, they savor the moment. When these little bulls*** markets win it, nobody cares after the first week. I'm tired of this. Thank you for the laugh. I needed that.

    SCF Game 5 (6/6): Anaheim 6, Senators 2

    f***in' bulls***. God damn it. Three southern market teams in a row. In a row. God damn it. No tradition left in hockey anymore. Watching Pronger actually touch the Cup was even worse. My heart began to burn when that happened. He doesn't deserve it. Stupid rat bastard f***. Oh well. It's time to look ahead. The draft is coming up, as is free agency. Should make the summer just a little better anyways.

    Why did Perry have to score? WHY WHY WHY? God damn it. Can't it least be someone like Moen who I actually like? God ******* damn it, I hate Corey Perry. Him and his cocky ass mouth. I hope someone beats the s*** out of him next season. Just wait...

    NHL needs to improve marketing

    Oh for the love of... Jeez. It must have taken a brain surgeon to figure this out. The NHL sucking at marketing? That's new news to me! Damn, how could I never have realized?
