Dave 324 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 from wiki: In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory[citation needed], extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[3] The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted". How is this thread topic any of those things? It's a general discussion Red Wings forum. The topic is about a Red Wing. Sure the premise is most likely not going to happen, but does that mean you really have to just stop everyone from discussing it? I guess we should all go back to telling Eva how wrong he is about Hudler, because the first 50 pages just wasn't enough. I can't wait gang, let's strap in for a rousing good 3 months of that!

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Of course, Nick Lidstrom COULD sign with the Lighting, but it has as good a chance of happening as Bill Ayers winning the Nobel Peace Prize. It's just not going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 324 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 I don't want to stop anyone from discussing anything. It seemed to me that the nature of the topic was deliberately explosive. Could be that I misunderstood your intentions...... Well I think it was a valid question, although poorly posed; Would you rather see Lidstrom retire or play for another team, and how would you feel about it?

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Well I think it was a valid question, although poorly posed; Would you rather see Lidstrom retire or play for another team, and how would you feel about it? Retire. The thought of him in any other hockey jersey other than Team Sweden and the All-Star game is nauseating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Lidstrom resigns with the Lightning? If Stevie brings Lids down to Tampa Bay to bolster their chances at a cup run next year, would you still like Lidstrom? Or would your feelings change? So are we trading him to the Lightning so he resigns there? Or does he Sign there and then resign? I think he'll re-sign and then resign in Detroit. I must resign from this thread now as I feel if I re-sign anymore more replies, I may have to resign from this site. 1 Greatness=PavelDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yzerman knows how much nick lidstrom means to the detroit red wings and how much the reds wings means to lidstrom,so i don't think Yzerman will try to take lidstrom away from the wings and bring him down to tampa bay.

Wingzman91 134 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 When this happens, just unplug your ps3, that way it doesnt auto-save, then you go in and sign Lidstrom yourself, easy. 2 Greatness=PavelDatsyuk and eva unit zero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Grayne Wetzky Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Well I think it was a valid question, although poorly posed; Would you rather see Lidstrom retire or play for another team, and how would you feel about it? Thank you, Dave. I guess I should have phrased it a differnent way. I just wanted to see if most people thought Lidstrom was a hero and would always be a hero no matter how he finished out his career. It seems like most players that win championships and spend the majority of their careers on a team get the blessings of their fans when they fade out with another team (Montana, Bourque, Gretzky, Clemens, etc.). I would hate to see Lidstrom wear another jersey for the last 2 or 3 years of his career, but he still would be one of my all time favorite Wings. To me, he's had the most impact on the team during the last 20 years. Yzerman gets a lot of the credit, but for me, it's Andersson, Bowman, and Lidstrom in that order.

Guest Crymson Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Well I think it was a valid question, although poorly posed; Would you rather see Lidstrom retire or play for another team, and how would you feel about it? I think it's flagrantly obvious what everybody's answer to that question will be. 1 Greatness=PavelDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
