Hockey is suddenly fun again.

God's Jedi · 07-09-2003, 02:10 AM

Ok, it's official now, THE WINGS SHALL WIN IT ALL!! The Avs may have all those players they signed, but they have no goalie. With Hasek, Hatcher, Yzerman, and everyone else, the Wings are back. YAY!

Drill · 07-20-2003, 05:57 PM

Yes, the wings are back and they shall win again!!!! However the wings don't have fedorov anymore. Apparently he thinks a 5-year $40 million deal with the Ducks is better than a 5 year $50 mill or 4 year $40 mill with the Red wings. Oh well he's being a baby about wanting more ice time so he can have all he wants at the Pond. If the wings can get one more good foward then I'll be pretty well at ease. I think defense should be all right. Lidstrom, Hasek, Hatcher, Chelios, Fischer (he'll be back), and all those others.

Federov wanted ice time AND a team that would give him a long term contract. You can't blame the guy. He's a good replacement for Kariya in Anaheim, but I like Detroit better, so I'll miss him.

Drill · 07-21-2003, 01:01 PM

Well yeah I will too, but he got about 22 minutes a game with Detroit last season and the Wings have better chances of winning than the ducks. I think he was being selfish with how much ice time he wanted. Yeah he's good, but he can't have that kind of attitude when playing with detroit. And yes he will fit in well especially with kariya gone. I'm looking foward to seeing the wings and avs play this year

lizwrenne · 07-22-2003, 12:37 PM

im a big wings fan too (born and raised in the detroit area) and i am happy to see federov leave. i never was a fan of him. i mean, he wants fame and doesn't want to be a little fish in a big pond. he wants tio be the big fish in the little pond. well, auf weidersehn!

Yeah, who needs him! He only helped the team win 3 Stanley Cups!

Although now he's a duck in the pond. And I too don't really care that he left. yeah he's good, but he's annoying and I think Holland is probably happy to see him leave.

Yeah but also we had many other stars that helped us win. I think we'll do fine without him. If we can get one more foward, we'll be really tough to beat.

hockey? i guess the south doesnt have many hockey fans b/c:
#3its too much like soccer
#2its not enough like football
#1every hockey team in the South is terrible!!!
atlanta, florida, and nashville...case closed

haha sucks for you, since hockey is the best. Although I don't think it's much like soccer. But you're right... all the hockey teams down south do suck.

Unique · 07-28-2003, 09:27 PM

Suck? They're horrible. But I think Nashville is slowly making themselves a good team with all the rookies they're getting. they had good choices often because of their poor rank, and now they'll soon come out with a young, but talented and good team.

GopherWood · 07-29-2003, 08:37 AM

With the Stars losing Hatcher to the Red Wings, I fear my Stars will be down on their luck again in the playoffs this year. Hope Guerin plays good this year, like last, and is avaliable in the playoffs.
