Realistically, I believe that if Detroit were to have a 30+ point fighter on the roster there would be pitchforks and torches to get him to stop fighting and live up to their "true" potential.

Joey MacDonald IS our deadline acquisition.

At work today a coworker forwarded me an email he received from a friend who apparently lives next to or near Ken Holland. No idea how reliable this is, but this person claims the Wings are about to trade Zetterberg to Florida for Stephen Weiss and a 2nd round draft pick.

I have a friend who washes Kenny Holland's car each Saturday and he told me that Henrik Zetterberg is going to be traded to the Blues for T.J. Oshie and a 3rd round draft pick.  

Ken Holland's cat's hair dresser told me that Pavel Datsyuk is going to be traded to the Blackhawks for Dave Bolland and a 2nd round draft pick.

Ken Holland's alter ego named Len Rolland told me that Ken Holland is going to trade himself to the Red Wings for Ken Holland and a 2nd round draft pick.  Ken Holland will then trade Len Rolland and 3 draft picks to the Red Wings for Ken Holland, Len Rolland and Richard Simmonds (Wayne's dad).

HAHAHAHAHA........I remember my first hit of acid.

Why are you guys such non-believers?

I've talked with Jarome Iginla on several occasions over the last six months, and he tells me he'd love to win a Cup before his career is over.

FACK MIKE ILITCH FOR NOT SELLING PAPA JOHN'S QUALITY PIZZAS FOR $5!

kennyf****** powers.

My first question would be what your friend's source is.

I remember my first beer.

Canadian hockey fans rejoice.

Speak for your self (Just kidding I know most Canadians share your view of him, but I'm legitimately saddened by this). Hopefully TSN lazes out a bit this year and just decides to pick up Versus' feed more often than not.

Best of luck to you Pierre! You're among the best at what you do and don't let anyone ever convince you otherwise

Jesper Samuelsson has some sort of wheat allergy and can't bulk up. From what I've read that is his main problem, and it will likely mean a career spent in Europe. I think its a very safe bet that we see Tatar and Smith in Detroit this season, but some of the other players that have been predicted for next year are ridiculous. Kolosov will never see a single game in the NHL. There would have to be a hell of a lot of injuries for Pare to make an appearance, although he is very capable in the A. McCollums call up last year was a joke and was only necessary because of injuries. Pearce has outplayed him by a mile, and Tom will have to make major, major strides in his game to have any chance at playing in the NHL this season. Realistically even if he does play well I doubt they call him up. He needs to build confidence up and a s*** show like he put on in Detroit, which wasn't completely his fault since he was nowhere near ready, will only have negative results. Pearce will likely grab the starting goalie slot in GR, not McCollum, and he has had strong play as of late which could warrant a call up. Daniel Larsson is an option if he commits to play in NA, but it would require signing him to a one way contract. He has made it abundantly clear that he will not play in the AHL again. Gustav Nyqvist looked great when I saw him play at the end of the season in GR last season, and if he continues to progress we could see him called up. Joakim Andersson needs some work, and I don't think we'll see him this season, but next year is a real possibility. Jamie Tardif is one of those fringe guys, and unfortunately there just isn't room for him in Detroit. He did mention last year that he purchased a home in Grand Rapids, so he may be in the system still. Guys like Fournier, Nestrasil, and the rest of the Griffs crew will need to develop more before a call up.

So basically you agree with me

And just a hint around here, paragraphs man, paragraphs.

So much to like about Game 4.  Thomas punching Burrows in the head.  Marchand flipping Ashley Sedin.  The Bruins smacking the Canucks around for all 3 periods.  Luongo crapping the bed especially on that last goal.  Vancouver has only scored 5 goals in 4 games.  Boston has to like their chances if they keep playing their aggressive up-tempo attack game.   The Canucks do not have the time and space to set up their offense and they players collectively look scared to be hit.  The Bruins have shut down the Canuck power play and their forward depth is showing right now.  Horton gets hurt and Peverley steps in and scores 2 goals.  The Canucks lack that shutdown #1 dman ala Chara which is once again hurting them in the playoffs.

The tide can turn from game to game but to me, the Canucks have to raise their level of play like the Bruins have in Games 3 and 4.  They went from being careful and passive to being physical and aggresive.  The winner of Game 5 should win this series.  Of course we all know that winning game 5 doesn't necessarily mean you'll win it.    I like how the Bruins are playing right now.  I will admit that I never gave them much of a chance heading into this series but I am very happy to be wrong.

Yeah its not like Suh is busy with huge endorsements or anything. Anyone who questions this guys work ethic and dedication is beyond stupid, seriously the guy is a beast.

With him leading the charge the lions just might, dare I say, make a playoff push next season

blueadams, is that you?
