Having a top core is only half the equation. Your core is no better than the Red Wings core, or the Sharks core, or in my (perhaps lousy) opinion, the Kings core. You don't win stanley cups anymore without quality depth. I think if you guys get stuff figured out and have a decent third and fourth line this time next season, you could be challenging the Wings for best franchise territory heading into this next decade.
By the way, I'm really not trying to rain on your parade. I originally just wanted to refute the guy who claimed that it was "batshit crazy" to assume the salary cap issues would impede Chicago from being one of the top teams in the west for "years to come"
They are a super talented, super young team, but I believe they have all but like a million bucks worth of salary tied up in just half the team for the next season or two.
If Scotty Bowman and son figure out a way to ink their other key players, and somehow drop the contracts of Campbell and Huet, then the dynasty in waiting talk will have some serious merrit. That will also make me realize that Scotty Bowman is the smartest fucking man alive who has somehow been spending the better part of his life coaching hockey.
I only replied to Dex's post because it was on the front page of the comments. As a matter of fact, I liked his post at the WLA today. I didn't post the clip because I disagreed with dex, I did it because I thought the clip is almost as stupid as this whole god damned thing has been.
At least Bertuzzi has had some semblence of contribution this year. Bert, Miller, Lebda, those are the guys that have to make little contributions here and there because of the salary cap. Wiliams hasn't doen jack to gain shit man.
it just isn't your year. Stupid "The Daily Line." What the fuck is this show? What do these prissy boy middle class cocks know about sports or gambling? Fuck.
Pavel Datsyuk ever again, versus announcers. Please. One has had nice little run lately. The other is a hall of famer if he plays another half decade. Fuck.
Versus had the decency to defer broadcasting to the local fox sports affiliate. How many times do I have to watch the fucking Joe Thornton goal replayed?
That makes me wonder about the difference of him and Bertuzzi. Certainly Bertuzzi had intent to harm, and Moore's injury was bad, but shoving a man down and hurting him is not as villaneous as killing a man because you drive like an idiot, IME.
There have been games where the Wings get calls they don't deserve. But watching Playoff hockey, the most beautiful thing in sports IME, impeded by bad officiating is very disheartening when it's your team on the wrong end. Everyone cussing up this thread and acting silly is justified.
Hockey is like any other game in that you have to outplay your opponents to win. You have to take advantage of opportunitites. Hockey is unlike any other game in that the officials call penalties that DIRECTLY lead to increased scoring chances. When the officiating is bad, or slanted one way, it fucking shows guy. There is no conspiracy involving Gary Bettman, or Sidney Crosby or any Red Wing hater. But if you honestly believe the Sharks victory tonight wasn't heavily influenced by poor officiating, then you're an asshole.
Half the goals scored this post season have been dogshit. They're letting the payers beat the hell out of each other this year. Unless it's Hank Zetterberg, Jesus.

that they considered Marisa Tomei a Bone Simulator. It helped then, not as much now though.
looked like a sad panda in that video. This should make all of our hearts sore, folks.
If Henne was in a shotgun from the start, and we'd thrown fourty times that game, we would have beat USC's ass.
You deserve to be posbanged for this.
Germany is good
I hope we win all group games
Then England is toast

FUCKING LAME, MICHAEL LEIGHTON, FUCKING LAME.
that Marion Hossa could win the Stanley Cup without the Black Hawks winning it.
I loved Hossa in a Wings uni. I was sad to see him go and I think he finally breaks through this year. I still hate the Blackhawks.
from most msm types. You're willing to stand up and admit mistakes, even when you don't have to.

Jason Williams is a god damned waste of cap space.
This game is going to end 4-3.

Thomas Holmstrom, that was stupid.

Had a good friend's father do that. He is set to get out in a year or so I think. Too bad for him he doesn't ice skate, I guess.
I'm pretty pissed, but what makes you say that?

[End Mother Fucking Rant.]
Fuck their incompetence. From the commisioner to the minor league officials. Fuck them all.
I'm getting out the tin foil hat. Jesus Christ.
that the wings can take a penalty to negate their powerplay, but the sharks can't to go down two men?
If you're going to allow Rob Blake to rape people, let accidental trippings behind the play go.
Edit: What happened to the "NO EMBELLISHING" stuff we all heard about?
It was an illegal goal, and shouldn't have counted. But I've seen quite a few this postseason.

If the yotes keep playing that way and the Wings don't adjust, this series will be over quick, and I'll be seriously pissed heading into summer.
The coyotes are straight up setting picks at this point.
have managed to coax the Wings into a football game tonight.
guy.
Drew Miller got a composite stick up his ass, and the wings didn't go on the pp, yet this.
buddy.
looks as shaky as I've ever seen him. That is not good friends.
Just go the fuck back to Winnipegg please.
Shane Doan is going down, O'doyle style. But I've gotta go study.
But I've always wanted to see Joel Quenville hit with a snowball full of piss.
I want to buy you lunch.

Most of the people I've know my whole life, have been more concerned about getting out of Appalachia.
Pavel Datsyuk, Alex Ovechkin, and I all agree with you my friend.
