Wow how incredibly wise you must be to say "nobody". What's so hard to remember? Do people forget Carmen slobbing on Crosby's knob in every one of his posts? I'm just saying how funny it is that you always post stuff that is against even talking about how ridiculous other teams fans are, or that people shouldn't get worked up about it (usually in a pretty annoying way) and here you are starting this topic. You also don't need to break it down for yourself, I'm just laughing at you.

Cleary you've never been to a game at the United Center vs the Wings. Especially since you're so surprised that Chelios was booed.

A lot of them are loser bandwagoners, or just really s***ty fans. What more can I add? I've been preaching this years before they even won the cup. The only thing more annoying is SWF starting this thread after all the times he's argued with me and other people here on this subject. It's funny.

20-0 Red Wings Lidstrom continues with a second hattrick, Holmstrom scores 17 goals all on the power play. 5 more get waived off for breathing on the goalie.

I get what you mean, but is the All Star Game really that big of deal? The game isn't exactly a physical toll and the skills competition looks like a lot of sitting around. Seems to me it would be fun to hang out with other league superstars for the weekend. Unless our guys are injured I don't think it's really a big deal.

This was one of the funniest things I've ever read on LGW, I was coughing up a lung laughing so hard. Good stuff man.

Hahaha this Hawks fan is hilarious. That's great man, I have to thank you because I really needed a laugh and a new sig. I've been going to Hawks games here and there since I was a kid, and let me tell you, this is a spot on description of most Hawk fans. Hey just some advice, don't forget to cut the tags off your jersey. It might arouse suspicion.

Earth to Red Wings.....

I just think it's funny the Ducks have the balls to complain after all the stuff they've pulled.

Listen dude, relax and take a deep breath. I was half joking and didn't say the things you psychotically listed to make like I was saying what he did was right. I did however post that video to show how much things have changed and to also call out the idiots these days who immediately go, "SUE THEM!" Got it, you condescending ******?

God... so many losers on this board it's hilarious. What happened to the good old days when you could beat someone's ass who deserved it and go about your business?

The Ducks suck, kettle black, blah blah blah.. Can someone actually explain to me intelligently how that is not a really late hit? I hate the Ducks but seriously Doan is a moron on that play.

Hmmmmm. He did that a little too well.

Is this game on FSN or FSN plus?

Oh yeah, and I forgot to add because Datsyuk and Lidstrom are injured before the All-Star game they didn't hold to their "obligations to the fans, and the rights holders." According to the NHL.

The only only thing worse than the rabid Bettman haters is someone who goes out of their way to praise him. I'll stick with the former, thank you. Here's some reasons I hate him and blame him for since 75% of you are sucking his balls right now. -A labor strike that reduced the season to 48 games, and the other a lockout that lost an entire season. -I'm a hockey fan and I can't watch many games without shelling out money for those channels. -$600 million with ESPN in 1998 to $72.5 with Versus in 2008 -Bulls*** scheduling in the 2009 playoffs. -Terrible, terrible reffing every year. Hey! remember the 2008, 2009, 2010 playoffs?!? -Putting teams in cities where I don't believe hockey will ever be successful(well, maybe because of teams like the Red Wings and revenue sharing) -The dilution of talent because of over expansion. -Hockey isn't yet popular in the U.S. so lets start playing in Europe! -Handling of the Phoenix situation. -Did I mention terrible AND s***ty reffing? -Say what you want about his wonderful economic growth that you make it out to be but the NFL, MLB, NBA and even NASCAR spank the NHL every year. -And the most recent for me wasthe NHL's reaction to this fiasco. A prime example of, "Shut the hell up, we're in charge." Are all of these his fault? Probably not.Let me hold onto those delusions. BUT there is a reason he get's booed so many places he goes. He gets booed at the NHL DRAFT for christ sake. You talk about him eliminating the clutch and grab play like it was such a genius move too, no just a goddamn OBVIOUS one. /end of rant

Yahoo article Former hockey player Justin Bourne has a really good article on steroid use in hockey. What do you guys think? Is testing adequate? Does it bother you that some players might cheat? It might not be a huge problem but I think makes a good point that there is a fine line between a NHL contract which means 10 times as much money - from the AHL minimum $35,000 to the NHL minimum of $500,000 and some players are willing to take the risk. My favorite: "Gary Bettman thinks that having only one positive steroid test under the NHL's current system is a testament to how "effective and meaningful" the program has been." He really can't help but pat himself on the back whenever possible.

Fine, but who gets to punish the NHL for being completely mismanaged?

Definitely a charging call at least, look at the amount of strides before the hit.

Igor Larionov playing for the Sharks before he was a Red Wing. Todd Bertuzzi's first team was the Islanders. Kariya and Selanne in Colorado was supposed to guarantee them the cup that year, and I'm pretty sure both players had career lows. John Vanbiesbrouck played for the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Islanders & New Jersey Devils but I can only picture him on the Panthers and Rangers (also, didn't know the guy grew up in Detroit). Joey Kocur played about 7 games for the Vancouver Canucks before he came to the Wings. Claude Lemieux was on the China Sharks

Crosby isn't allowed to stay in Detroit, he get's dropped into Joe Louis at game time and then his ass is launched via catapult to Pittsburgh.

Last game of the season was a great one.

They would.

Girlfriend? Wife? I'm 22 and in college, I don't usually stick around to see if their a fan.
