    Ladies equivalent to playoff beard

    Yeah, the beard thing isn't going to work for me this year so I'm jumping on this idea!! It's gonna be fun and I can't wait for the playoffs to begin!

    OTT-MTL game blowout; MTL winning 7-1 after 2

    It's unfortunate that they didn't deal with the Emery-situation better than they did. And the only guy I feel sorry for on the Ottawa team is Alfy. Come back to Frölunda now - we need you!!

    The best of the best!

    Well I assume it's either a mechanical fault and he meant to write something else, or it's a case of copy + paste because he was, as you say, incapable of typing that combination of words.

    NHL's disappointing players

    Pretty cool topic although the Crosby-discussion is ruining it a tad.I'm reluctant to bring my own opinion into it but Crosby can't really be compared with guys like Daigle or Brendl (although Brendl is having a half-decent thing going for him in Sweden). Although I hate Crosby - can't tell you why though, I'd love to say it's because he's a Penguin or Canadian or is this or that. I can't explain it - something about him rubs me the wrong way. But I'd never call him a bust. And now I've gone and done and made things worse. I should just shut up about Crosby. Please ignore the crossed over text.

    Yashin Misses The NHL.

    Sorta seems like a 'boo-hoo' reaction...

    Next season's Red Wings

    You know what, I was actually going to try and argue with you. But you called me an idiot and that made me sad.

    Brain Rolston and Fabian Brunnstrom

    Rolston will likely be a lot more affordable than other players that would fit Detroit's needs so I'm all for signing the guy. Remains to be seen if he'll go with the hometown discount and a solid chance at a Cup or if he'll go looking for a big final pay-check. Brunnstrom will likely only sign with the Wings if he's guaranteed a spot on the roster. It's extremely doubtful he'll agree to any significant time in the AHL.

    Next season's Red Wings

    Well I dunno, if having "players like Hudler" means having Lidström, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Rafalski, Cleary, Holmström, etc then why not. Note that I don't actually have any major complaint with what you're wanting. Having some guys like Shanny, McCarty (in their prime) would no doubt make the team more versatile. But I think the major worry, esp for the coming seasons, is the goalie. Getting a top-6 physical forward wouldn't hurt either...

    Next season's Red Wings

    I believe they'll change the symbol from a winged wheel to a winged skull and start wearing eye-patches. That's the teams new LOOK. ARGH THEY BE PIRATES. FAIL

    Note to League: We are Just Better

    Haha, very true. So Howe is the Emperor right? It explains their ability to play as long as they do doesn't it? (Howe to Ovechkin): 'Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side'.

    Valtteri Filppula

    $1.33 million per year is much more reasonable than $4 million but I think it's likely he'll get a bit more than that. Not as much at Z mind but still a bit more than $1.33 million.

    So who is Luke on our team? Cuz Chelios must be Obi Wan, or is Lids Obi and Cheli Yoda?

    Pronger at it again

    Well not really surprising that there isn't any suspension coming - who ACTUALLY thought there'd be one?

    ovechkin goal celebration

    I like the fact that he's so raw and emotional. Doesn't automatically mean that he doesn't have class. The only reason I can understand why it's "wrong" for him to celebrate the way he does is that he sort of ignores his teammates, but usually he just jumps into the boards and then he's suddenly surrounded by the other guys. I can't say I've seen him shove people off that many times. In any case I hope he continues with his heart-on-his-sleeve kind of play for as long as possible. And the Yzerman comments are unfair, Ovie has barely started his career and I don't doubt Washington will surprise a lot of people next year with Ovie obviously playing a big part.

    I want McCarty!

    ASAP - I know it's more of a nostalgic thing but damn I can't wait. I'm man enough to admit I'll prolly get a bit teary .

    Video to spark the return of the Mac

    Damn I'd love to see that kind of passion and determination again. Unlikely to happen tho but one can hope!!

    Cleary Re-Signed: 5-Years, $14 M

    Larsson goalie of the year in Swedish Elite League

    It's extremely doubtful that he'll play for the Wings next year but hopefully they'll get him signed anyway so that he doesn't runaway. If the guy builds on his success with another good year next year and some good international performances, well, happy days.

    Would this sum up the "old time hockey"

    did the guy say "the goalies with their cumbersome equipment"?

    is there any respect amongst players these days?

    Yeah, whatever happened with the duels from the good old gentlemanly days?
