#2201007 Kris Draper announces retirement

Posted by Nev on 26 July 2011 - 02:53 AM

Sad, sad day. Draper was a true warrior and one of those players who took what little he had and through sheer hard work, determination and sacrifice made it into a glorious NHL career.

Although his on-ice product had been in decline for a couple of years, off-ice he is going to be missed enormously. He was one of the few vocal leaders on a team of quiet leaders, and his commitment to off-ice fitness was both an inspiration and lesson to everyone else in the locker-room. When he came back to Detroit after bouncing around the league for a few years, JWill said that Draper (and Datsyuk) were the best conditioned athletes he'd ever seen.

#2199366 Thank You Chris Osgood!

Posted by Nev on 19 July 2011 - 11:31 AM

Thankyou Ozzie

For kicking Roy's ass
For making it look so easy in 2008
For putting a worn-out, broken-down, beaten-up team on your back and taking them *this* close to another cup in 2009.

Such a shame that the last 2 years ended up the way they did but after 400 wins and 3 cups I don't think you can complain.

#2198895 Nicklas Lidstrom HHOF Waiting Period

Posted by Nev on 17 July 2011 - 06:49 AM

Jeez Eva, did Messier run over your dog or something?

As for the poster who said Lidstrom wasn't as good as Yzerman. Er, no. Yzerman was, at best the 3rd best center of his era. Lidstrom is, at worst the 2nd best defenceman of all time. Yzerman may mean more to Wings fans for lots of reasons, but no way is he a better player

Ericsson gets modified NTC per cap geeks twitter.

#2189904 This year's prospects

Posted by Nev on 26 June 2011 - 01:22 AM

Well - the reality is that roughly 90% of the players drafted in any draft won't see much NHL action.

That said there's really not many players under the age of 25 that's gonna turn heads in the NHL; 3rd liners like Helm, or #5/#6 Dmen like Kindl appears to be the status quo for the Red Wings.

Yep, and hockey fans across teh interwebz (including LGW) have a tendancy to massively over-rate prospects.

#2183925 Latest Rumor: NHL Team Expected to Announce Rebranding in 2012

Posted by Nev on 09 June 2011 - 12:48 AM

The new name, new colours and something thats never been done in the NHL before leads be to believe that its going to be someone who changes their name to a sponsor a la the New York RedBulls in MLS. So, the Tampa Bay RedBulls, or Miami Monsters, using the example of energy drinks (who might believe that the average hockey fan fits their marketing demographic).

#2174742 Where is the Pavel Datsyuk appreciation thread?

Posted by Nev on 13 May 2011 - 02:25 AM

Because the man was just a beast. The only skater to turn up for all 7 games of the San Jose series, and an absolute joy to watch. 11 games, 15 points, +10.

He deserved better, and there's a fair few players on this team owe him an apology.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I forgot, played with a wrist so badly injured he couldn't take face-offs

#2163657 Who's the better coach?

Posted by Nev on 01 May 2011 - 05:21 PM

Swapping the lines around, or changing a couple of 4th liners isn't going to solve our problems. The Sharks are bigger, faster, just as skilled and (possibly) hungrier. The only people keeping us in this series are Datsyuk and Howard, and thats not a knock on Babcock.

What changes do you want? Our D sucks. Who are you going to swap Rafalski, Ericsson and Salei for that is better? How are you going to make Lidstrom a thirty-something again?

Posted by Nev on 01 May 2011 - 04:07 PM

Special teams apart, I didn't think we were that bad in the first, but we got COMPLETELYf****** PWNED in that 2nd period.

Right now the Sharks look bigger, faster and more skilled.

And our D-corps looks horrible. Lidstrom looks his age, Ericson and Salei are beyond words...
