Red Wings Addict

Why did you post such a broken "description" of Pitkanen?

It's blueadams, man.  Shoot first, ask questions later.

Ladies and gentlemen, David Letterman presents the top ten things worth more useful than Jiri Hudler:

Number 10...  A bag of pucks.  
Number 9...  A couple rolls of pink tape.  
Number 8...  A set of Christian brand hockey sticks.
Number 7...  A pair of Daoust skates.  Yeah.  Daoust skates.  
Number 6...  Any hockey equipment made by Cooper.
Number 5...  A sheet of NHL official team logo pogs--Hellooo!
Number 4...  World Champion Icehockey for the Commodore 64.
Number 3...  A pre-owned boxed set of the Mighty Ducks movies.
Number 2...  A 20% off coupon at the HenrikZetterberg.com store.  Hey-yo!
And the number 1 thing that's worth more useful than Jiri Hudler...  Link Gaetz's rookie card!!!

Baaaa da da da da daaa da da da...

Any idea why he's been on 4 different teams in 5 years?

I guess it kind of felt like a while since we had a blueadams lines thread.  Nice little relapse I guess.

I wonder how often this will happen to McCrimmon.

This series makes me think, "God I can't wait for the draft."

An article on RWC  about Gustav Nyquist where Jimmy Nill said, “Statistically, any player  below the third round is not supposed to make the NHL" sparked my  curiosity about forwards selected after the 3rd round who scored 40  points or more, which to me says they at least spent time in a top-six  role.

So now you have been caught in your own contradiction. no?

Does such a thing even exist in Hudler world?

Hanta Yo, Baby!

Was there any class in this year's western conference finals?  

When you lose a guy like Rafi you probably can't afford to not be open to a trade.

He's thanked and mentioned Nicklas Lidström at least five times.

He did?  I didn't hear it from the speech and q&a session on Red Wings TV online.

EDIT:  Oh wait...  I think I get it?  He thanked God many times and Nick Lidstrom is God?  I see what you did there?

If Nick hangs 'em too I'm looking for the nearest open bar.
