#1934660 Abdelkader Ready if Needed

Posted by uk_redwing on 08 April 2010 - 08:49 AM

Abdelkader also had 7 fights in 31 games. Which is, of course, all that really matters.


#1933498 Ville Leino Appreciation Thread

I wouldnt have him playing for Grand Rapids.


#1929484 Little Thing Ive noticed

I give a s*** about a winning hockey team. And this team is currently winning.


Where I come from thats called a glory supporter.

We give a s*** about watching proper hockey. And dont go down the "winning" road either, because Id love just love to point out we had Downey, Drake and McCarty when we won the 07-08 Stanley Cup. Oh look, I did.

LGW hasn't had a good, long, pointless debate about this in awhile


On that note, the wrongly banned E_S_A_D says hi to all at LGW.


#1929318 Has anyone else noticed a change in the league's attitude towards

Posted by uk_redwing on 31 March 2010 - 03:10 PM

I've noticed this as well. NHL On The Fly shows every fight, as does the highlights on the NHL's youtube channel. I can only assume theyve realised that all the noise crowds made when there was a fight wasnt them screaming in anger that they wanted a powerplay, or perhaps that goalies shouldnt be allowed in certain parts of the ice but because they get as giddy and wild as Micky Redmond when two players throw down.

#1923879 Will Filppula hit 40 points?

Posted by uk_redwing on 24 March 2010 - 04:38 PM

Better one than none. Like you're some kind a true Red Wings fan, gimme a break. Go watch your boy Beckham kick that ball.


Caught a big one here. Get it fried and battered with some chips (fries) and we've got ourselves a meal here boys.

And David Beckham? Please...this isnt the 90's anymore.


#1923751 Will Filppula hit 40 points?

Posted by uk_redwing on 24 March 2010 - 12:34 PM

I voted 'Yes' because now my boy Leino has moved on, I only have one countryman to fap over.


Fixed.


#1917373 Red Wings GM Ken Holland hasn't given up on wandering Jiri Hudler

Posted by uk_redwing on 16 March 2010 - 06:05 PM

No thanks.


#1913395 GM's recommendation on hitting

Posted by uk_redwing on 10 March 2010 - 07:18 PM

I don't. A guy like Boogaard for example can just cheap shot who ever he wants, because he usually don't have to be "afraid" figthing. And I don't think that's an excuse.


Except Boogaard doesnt do that kind of stuff, and neither do most heavys. Its the Avery, Ott, Tucker, Cooke and Tootoo's of the league this is aimed at.

Removing the instigator would have also worked, without having to rely on our brilliant officials.

Posted by uk_redwing on 21 January 2010 - 04:10 PM

Get rid of the instigator.

Problem solved.


#1435990 Stadiums you have visited

Posted by uk_redwing on 07 August 2008 - 12:02 PM

Ive been to over a hundred football (saw-ker) stadiums in my time.
