Could it be he hasn't skated in months or doesn't like buses. RELAX. Edited September 19, 2008 by lfd250 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stormboy 47 Report post Posted September 19, 2008 Alright ***, maybe have in mind that some of the forum users ain't from america and doesn't have english as their native language, so show some respect would you. yeah, challenge him to post on a swedish hockey forum. i'll never criticize someone's use of english until i can speak their language as well as i expect them to use mine. re: the topic. i really don't think it'll be a big deal. and even if it is, whatever, i guess we'll have to win the cup with the same roster we did last year. *shrug* as long as he's healthy for the playoffs, we'll still be in even better shape than we were last year. z of course is always a worry, but say hossa's injured for the start of the season. "wings start without star forwards hossa," would be the headline, i guess, but that same headline could just as well read, "wings are as good as they were last season." which, to me, is a positive headline rather than a negative one. i do have to disagree with the OP on describing it as an "investment," though, only because it's a one-year signing that affects nothing of our future. if we'd signed him for three years at the same price and he was out for 2/3 of each season, but prevented us from re-signing zetterberg and/or franzen, then to me, that's a bad investment. i have to believe that the red wings organization *could* afford to dole out well more than what the cap allows. so i don't think his salary is going to hamstring the organization for one year. all that being said, i still like our chances with hossa better than without, and i sure to hell hope he's healthy. but i refuse to panic at this point. like we always say at my job when anything goes wrong (which it always does) : it'll be fine...

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) Think about it, though: absolute worst-case scenario is he misses the entire season (which isn't going to happen, but let's just say it does). Even then the Wings win because they wouldn't face him in the playoffs. Edited September 20, 2008 by Dabura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted September 20, 2008 Well, I guess we can just give the Cup to the Leafs now, eh? Seriously, a "tight back"? Before the season starts? This is something to freak out over? We're ridiculously deep. The Hossa move was more of a middle finger to the rest of the league than a legit attempt to improve. We could repeat with our old roster, Hossa just makes us that much better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
