Hockey, good friends, good guitars, hunting, fishing, watching Sidney Crosby cry, cats, Copenhagen, Tool concerts, up north, down south. sometimes the in between.
it's really crazy to think that if it weren't for such tragic events, our D core for YEARS could have been Lidstrom, Konstantinov, Fischer and Chelios...
I know man, such a loss.
New Jersey had Scott Stevens, Philly had Lindros, St. Louis had Pronger, and we had the one guy who intimidated all 3 of them...
We're desperate for a D man like this you gotta give up some good peices to get good peices... Everyone's bitching about having the same team for the last 4 years and this shakes things up... Yandle is a stud and can almost get as much points as a defenseman as flippula gets on the 2nd line
Yeah but is he worth displacing our top 6 and destabilizing our bottom 6?
I'd like to acquire Yandle as much as anyone else but 2 top 6 forwards and a 1st round pick is robbery any way you look at it.
Swap Emmerton or Kindl for Nyquist and I would pull the trigger
+1
As much as I think this guy is an attention seeking, follower hunting joke, I find myself with twitter open...
Reflecting on his NHL career, I know he'll always be remembered as a Wing. I was extremely bitter after he left, and I was also at his first game back in Detroit on December 3, 2003 where he was booed mercilessly every time he touched the puck.
Does he deserve to have his #91 retired by Detroit? Ultimately, I'd have to vote yes.
He was my idol, when I used to play I used the White Nike skates and Nike logo'd Bauer equipment. My coach called me Sergei, lol.
It seemed to me that Sergei liked being flashy and all the media attention surrounding him, in my opinion he wanted to be the "shining star" on a team full of stars and it wasn't happening so he parted ways. I lost a ton of respect for him after that.
Remember the Nike commercials of the late 90's? The goalie prank calling him and saying "Your mother wears Red Army boots!" lol those were the days...
One year, zero risk. Nothing but upside and instead Kenny is sitting on his $13m, watching Dreger waiting for him to tweet that Doan has resigned with Pheonix. I knew the Wings weren't interested in Semin, and I didn't expect him to sign here, but watching him sign a one-year deal elsewhere burns my ass.
Stagnant offense. Defense takes a huge hit with no replacements.... but hey, we improved our backup
Nash getting out of Columbus is the equivalent of dropping a load after being constipated for nine years... I'm happy for him and wish him well with the Rags.
I met him a couple times when he played for the Kentucky Thoroughblades of the AHL, I'm 6'3" and dude made me feel like a midget standing next to him lol.
If Weber does go to the Flyers, does this mean we'll see him smash Crosby's face into the boards?
I can hear it now...
Breaking News - Pittsburgh Penguins C Sidney Crosby sidelined 4 - 6 months due to a bruised labia caused by hit from Philadelphia D Shea Weber. Suspension imminent.
Tragic. I don't even know what to say... It's a sad, sick world we live in and it makes me glad we have hockey to give us something positive to focus on.
My heart goes out to the friends, family and loved ones of those involved in this horrible atrocity.
