T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 I've never heard anyone say it better. Indeed. Although I may have used f***tard instead of Asshat, but very well said nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CloudConnected 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I came back to post this. Chris chelios was every bit as dirty as Claude Lemieux was, maybe more so. The Steve Yzerman garbage - Chelios was into cheapshotting our best player and then cowing like a ***** when our heavies came near him - at least Claude Lemieux fought Mac when he was challenged straight-up, When Probert went after Chelios Cheli grabbed Probie's sleeves and shat himself. Remember how famous Chelios was for stickwork, slashing at the ankles of men like Tim Hunter - men he didn't have the sack to man-up and fight? Remember how just last year Chelios admitted to BITING Thomas Sandstrum in a scrap? Remeber him being suspended for his third-man-in act? If you hate cheapshot artists, you hate Chelios and Lemieux. If you hate cowards, you hate Chelios, Maltby and occasionally Lemieux. If you hate anyone who makes our team look like a bunch of nancies by taking on our resident heavyweight and fighting him to a draw, proving to all the world that he wasn't a coward or a weakling, then you might just hate Claude Lemieux. I calls them as I see them. I do love the Red wings. I do dislike Claude Lemieux - but I dislike him for rational rather than emotional reasons. I didlike him because he was cheap and didn't fight as much as he should have. I dislike chelios because he was cheap and even less willing to fight tough guys than Lemieux was. I agknowledge that both were great players in this league. I do not like Chelios or Maltby or Lemieux - but if I were forced to answer "who was the toughest and ballsiest out of those three jerkwads?", I would have to answer Lemieux. Mac didn't challenge Claude straight up, Claude was trying to save face after his embarassment and went after Mac right at the drop of the puck. Claude was emotionally charged and had probably one of the better fights of his career. He had the incentive of trying to save his manhood, and he fought to a draw. As far as fighting our resident heavyweight, I don't know if Mac was ever a heavyweight. He was more of a middleweight. Kocur was a heavy. Probie was a heavy. I don't think Mac was. He'd bump up a weight class to stick up for his teammates, but at the time of feud with Claude, he wasn't a heavy. Heavies back then were Kocur, Twist, Grimson, Laraque, Oliwa, Ray and those guys. Guys who were only really there to fight, and just their presence deterred fights from happening because no one wanted to tangle with them. Mac was a guy who could play a regular shift and stick up for his teammates when the time came. He wasn't a heavy. I don't think that Claude has ever made us look like nancies. I also don't think that at his age he's in the physical shape to really school anyone in a fight. The only shots in his recent "fight" that he came close to landing were when the refs stepped in. I don't think he's a threat. Edited February 19, 2009 by CloudConnected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevvie 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 So...we're bashing Lemieux, right....or is it Chelios...maybe Maltby? How do we let a s***-stain like Clod cause this kind of strife? Can't we all just get along? Or maybe a Long Island Iced Tea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broken 16 381 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 Half the people on this website, including myself, have zero idea what a hyperbole is. Maybe a really fast bowl that can potentially hold cereal. Lilja would destroy him, Downey would have a field day. Hyperbole is a word that message board posters use when they want to sound smart. I've seen it a million times. Claude is a puss... we all have known this for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not like Chelios or Maltby or Lemieux - but if I were forced to answer "who was the toughest and ballsiest out of those three jerkwads?", I would have to answer Lemieux. I agree with this post. Chelios was no better than Claude, in fact, he was worse. He was dirty, a coward and said the stupidest s*** imaginable. Whats worse? A lot of his dirtiness was directed at Red Wings. I'm sure everyone has seen the TV interview here he tells the host that he would never play for Detroit because he hates them too much. Of course he said it for the sake of the Chicago fans, but he still said it... moron. Then when he publically talked about how Bettman should worry about the safety of his family. Chelios was the king of f***tards... Claude is just a prince. But now Chelios plays for the Wings and opened a Cheli's Chili, so I guess that makes him a Detroit hero. Defenders of Chelios are sheep... simple as that. Maltby is only slightly better. I hate watching him talk tough after a scrum and the refs have everybody seperated. I can't tell you how many times I've seen an opposing player forced to grab Maltby's jersey because he was trying to skate away unnoticed. He's not upper echelon f***tard like Chelios and Claude... he's just a weasel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NomadFromKazoo 42 Report post Posted May 18, 2009 I'm a Red Wings' fan, but do not support this team this year...We're an embarrassment to the old school warriors who help mold this game into what it is. If every team in the NHL was like our team, the NHL would die out, I swear to god. Anyways, no one is really going to realize this until the team doesn't win the cup, because until then we are the "current champions", so I guess there's really nothing else to do now but wait. And we're up 1-0 in the conference finals. You showed me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
