Of course, Helm's a good ole' Canadian boy, but it is still refreshing to hear Don admit manlove for a Red Wings in the post-Yzerman era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Pride of St Andrews, Manitoba. Helm is the baddest dude on Detroit, kills it every shift, love him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 I can't remember seeing someone play with more heart than him. What a kid. And that amazing speed of his is going to hurt the often slow and sluggish Pens-defense, count on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KronwallCRUNCH 5 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Screw Cherry. I'm glad that Helm got some props, but the guy is an old loon. If Kronwall was Canadian, Cherry would show a compilation of his hits, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, Helm's a good ole' Canadian boy, but it is still refreshing to hear Don admit manlove for a Red Wings in the post-Yzerman era. Cherry is biased towards non Canadians its a fact but he does acknowledge only the best and most hard working when it comes to Canadian players. Good to see him give kudos to a Wings players even if it is not a Euro player, you know he will not acknowledge a Euro and we have to live with that. Helmer is that dude!

C-TownWing 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Well, what do you expect? He's a hard hitting, fast moving Canadian. He is Don Cherry's wet dream in the flesh. Pretty much. I didn't see it, but I'm not exactly shocked that Cherry likes the kid. Kind of the opposite of shocked, actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Guy's such a tool, at least he's up front with his bias. He love's Cleary too. I loved the comment about whether Cleary's goal in game 7 vs the Ducks was legit and his answer was "he's a good Newfoundland boy" so of course it's good in his book - what a freak. Completely out of line, but he is showing some Wings love this post season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

#19forPresident! 1 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 I use choice words sparingly, but this is one of those times. Helm is one bad motherf***er. Stick him in any spot.....any spot....and he will do the job, hard, fast, and right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 That Hal Gil play was a SLASH too. Why do the announcers say "And Hal Gil comes up with a defensive gem. Watch him disrupt Darren Helm with a good stick"? It's a SLASH!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yak19 303 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axopJrXK9NE There's the clip I thought he would go after Ovechkin, but he did not agree with this BS and he stood up for hockey and i will thank him for that. To Grapes, Please acknowledge more Euros in you segments, i know you are biased and want to get with the Good Ol Canadian boys and we appreciate having Helmer in your segment, he deserves it but turn the corner old man and get with us. +1 for Helmer +1 for DRW Turn the corner Grapes, we play physical and you know it.

skacore 2 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Helm could be from Pakistan and he'd still get the same recoginition that he does. Cherry has said before the fans of Detroit NEED a player like this... someone who hits to kill and never stops, gee maybe he was right? The Joe is rocking every time Helm steps on the ice.

evilmrt 636 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Haha I love Don Cherry, he's like the cranky old grandpa who has been around hockey forever. Yeah he's biased towards Canadian players, but I think he adds alot to the broadcasts. Alot more than the sad intermission reports that NBC has with Pierre, for sure. Helm is a great player, and I really hope Kenny can lock him down for a long-term deal. The Wings need to find more prospects like this in the future, as well.

Seraph 240 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 I hope we can sign Helmer to nice lengthy contract... so he ends up playing for a while for cheap... kinda like how Z is playing right now for 2.6 mil and Franzen for .9 mil. Haha. What a steal. I got a text after that breakaway goal against Chicago: "Darren Helm has two speeds. Fast, and WARP SPEED!!" Haha, I love watching this guy take off.

servo 15 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Helm has looked solid in every position. I don't know how he wasn't the MVP of the AHL. He is a huge part of the sucess of the team this postseason. How couldn't anyone be impressed with this guy? The PK shift against Chicago was one of the most impressive shifts I've seen in years! Better than Z's shift last year against Crosby (but not as important). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
