It absolutely pertains to Mario's comments.  Mario releases a sanctimonious statement about protecting players and the integrity of the game, then he walks into his office and signs Cooke's paycheck.  The Pens lead the league in major penalties.  They lead the league in PIMs.  

It's not that his comments were wrong, they were just hypocritical and melodramatic ("I'm taking my puck and going home!").

If he wants to improve player safety and the integrity of the game, start by not giving dirty players like Matt Cooke a job.  Use the Pens franchise as an example of how to improve the integrity and safety of the game, rather than sitting from on high and chastising the NHL for it and threatening to quit (again).

but but but its queen mario. i agree totally with this harold. thank you for not jumping on the poor mario crap that some are doing. It has everything to do like you said. so there is nothing wrong with cooke doing his dirty work over and over but its bad when another team does it to you?

am I the only one who thinks this situation should just end, I mean Nabby was not that great the last few years and he could be even worse now.  Yeah he would be a good back up, but at this point it doesn't even seem that worth it.

Yes you are.

THANK YOUU! someone who agrees with me

yea 2 out of 50 ain't bad=)

I honestly think that is what is keeping me glued as possible to this thing! I have to know WHAT is he thinking? and WHY?!?!?!?!?

Why WOULD he do this.. any team can offer him a deal and let him get claimed.... WHY Holland and Detroit!  That is what I don't understand and am waiting Impatiently to find out.

I'm with you on that...i hate things like this. I will check back here 1000 times before i go to bed until something happens. hahahahahaha

Couldn't.

but but but crosby hit a home run!!!

How dare he insituate that Datsyuk was not one of the top 4 best skaters in the leauge last season... seriously the nerve .

Face it, everyone's entitlted to their own opinion and I am sure if you really think back at how he played in the regular season you cannot say with a straight face that he was as dominant as years past. He was still great, and easily a game breaking player, but if you think that he was among the 4 best players in the league last season, you are delusional. That's not to say he was a bad, or even should be anywhere close to the 30s as the guy comparing him to Stall suggested, but seriously guys lets get our blinders off here... he had a bad season, and if you don't belive me go re-read GDTs. You could tell he was tired, worn out, and for a portion of the season disinterested for a stretch of 20 or so games from December-Febuary.

wth are you talking about? thats not even where i was heading with this thread. the dude is the hurricanes team writer and knowing that and if you read what he put about us more slowly you can feel the bias that hes doing...it had nothing to do thinking dats should be rated higher or any of that.....slow your roll there buddy=) i thought it was funny to see what he put then seeing who he writes for thats it. nothing more. hahaha.

what i got was he was saying if staal drops then so should dats.

My wife was born and raised in Detroit and screams "Oh Yzerman!" during sex.
