HIGH ON FIRE

a pass. I am pretty amazed that the color commentary during power plays is something like this: "Datsyuk, into the zone, beating 3 defenders. Beautiful pass over to Holmstrom. Holmstrom trips over the face-off circle." "Pavel skates in, back to the point to a wide open Williams and he just couldn't keep it on his stick." "Datsyuk, in the corner with three defenders on him, somehow comes away with the puck, in front to Holmstrom, OH, and he put it back into the corner for no apparent reason." It's like the only way to stay on the offensive zone is if it's on Pavel or Hank's stick. Almost everyone else will cough it up and ruin the hard work that they got to get into the zone to begin with. And seriously, how many times does Williams need to mess up playing point on the PP before Babcok realizes it's really NOT THAT GREAT OF AN IDEA ANYMORE BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING AT ALL? Anyway, back to the topic, I think we would have won the series 4 games to 1 if Datsyuk's linemates could catch a pass. What do you think?

Yeah, and now we have three second string QBs to boot.

We're going to suck no matter what, at least lets suck with a star player that ESPN will talk about 8 days a week.

If Datsyuk played in the first game , he would have ended this. There was no explosive offense with him out...

If I were a coach I would take a Rivers over Kronwall any day. But what do I know, I only played defense for 20 years. You, on the other hand, post a lot on interweb message boards. Good job. HIGH ON FIRE? more like HIGH ON DRUGS. Theres no way i would take a Rivers over Kronwall. I have nothing to say to you other than Hatcher was easily the most useless player who wore red and white in at least three decades.

I would say... not much of anything. peace Obviously since you think Lidstrom is the second coming of Christ you are already predisposed for liking d men who are a bit on the softer side. Kromwall is a *****. Rivers was gritty. If you'd rather have a team full of golden boys, great.

Didn't like this trade, as I was a Rivers fan. He was a solid, gritty D. Not sure what everyone's problem with him was. I think he was better than the golden boy, Kromwall.

Topic and description should be sufficient.

Motown, you're not going to convince many people that Osgood is better than Legace this year so you should stop trying. Just a heads up. He is a "back up" goalie because he plays in Detroit. Not because he's not good enough to start.

It wouldn't be good to lose our best goaltender.
