Guest mindfly Report post Posted June 13, 2009 Has anyone heard any comments from him after losing yesterday? any hint in what he'll do in the offseason? what could go through his mind atm I can't see how he wanna keep hossa after being such a playoff choker, probably worse than thornton imo, and hossa probably want to move on after his ironic descision to come here for a better chance at the cup while his old team beat him .

wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 I am going to be honest. I am tired of hearing all of this Hossa hate. See I am a huge wings fan and I have been my whole 18 years on this earth. Oddly enough, some times i hate my own fellow Wings fans than any other fans. Honestly some are so disrespectful to players on this team it is not even funny. Yes, Hossa did not rack up a huge amount of points, but if you go down the list that was the case for the Wings... all of them were missing some of their elements. Hossa, along with every other player (minus Sammy because he does suck big time) played good he just could not score. They were beat up, tired and etc. You can hate Hossa all you want but you are an idiot for thinking that he should not stay here in a wings uniform along side pavs, Z, Mule and the gang. You say Kenny should not resign Hossa because he did not perform for us in the playoffs? Well, lets look back a few years to when he signed Pavel Datsyuk in 2007 to a 7 year deal... Pavel was known to many as a playoff underachiver and a lot of wings fans got mad. Look how it turned out... he is THE best all around player in the world of hockey, and has been key to our success ever since. Marian Hossa is a great player and just because he did not live up to everyone's expectations this year does not mean we should throw him out the door because he will be simply another key used in the many key slots to the wings success, and in a few years from now, you will all be loving Hossa for helping bring the Stanley Cup back to Hockeytown a lot like some of you did with Pavel....

I couldn't have said it better. I only can add how in the hell did you guys think we got here? Hossa helped tremdously during the regular season also. I for one hope we can possibly re-sign him.

greene709 27 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 Me too! I can't believe that there are people that wouldn't want Hossa on this team. He obviously got great chemistry with a number of players. He didn't step up in the playoffs. Well shot him then. Geez...How many players and great ones at that, have had bad playoff years? You can't give up on a proven NHL superstar because he wasn't the answer to everything in one year. Look at some of the horrible years that some players on Detroit had. Look at Shanny. He nearly disappeared in 02. Nobody lynched him. I really hope we sign Hossa. We should be happy that a player of his caliber wants to be on the team and not only concerned with money. I bet if we give him another chance he easily becomes one of the favorites, he should be now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theophany 110 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 I would love to keep Hossa, but not at the price tag he's running. I'd be more than happy to give him $4 mil a year, but there's no way in hell I'd throw more than that at him, with the cap troubles we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
