Merc, we could do a house swap if one of our teams wins. There's nowhere I'd rather be than Broad Street for a parade

Look , I live in NC. I have to put my hooligan leanings somewhere. We're too polite here.

Federov and Yzerman were dynamite. Federov was the first reason I liked the Wings. He was just so calm and calculated, small passive-aggressive smile on his face all the time. I miss the Shanahan, Hull, Federov, Yzerman, Legace days.

I miss Captain Steve. I think Nick Lidstrom is a wonderful man, but Steve really had the star power.

I think that I'm finally healed from mental anguish that I endured during last year's playoffs. Let's get it started in here!

Go Caps!

Ovechkin and Kolzig do not a team make.

I love watching hockey. Too bad in my city it's not cold enough to have an ice stadium working for a good part of the season. My gf lives 30 miles away near the mountains, and there during the winter it's cool enough to let the ice stadium be, so sometimes I go watching hockey matches there, it's fantastic. I'd like to play, but I'd have to learn ice skating well before.

Teemu Selanne has always been my favorite player.

Well, it's clear that you don't know a lot about the Capitals because Kolzig retired. So, I'll just say that the Capitals have several good young players besides Ovechkin. And after working out some kinks with Sergei Federov last year, he also made a great "old timer" addition to the team.

Maybe you should just stick to Red Wings hockey news. . . as that's what everyone seems to do.

Usehername: so you're one of them, eh? Funny how the game goes where the money is rather than where the right weather is...

PinkPiranha · 08-31-2008, 07:34 PM

Federov has been a ghost since he left Detroit.

I didn't know Olie had retired! Hmm. Too bad! One of my favorite goalies (and pretty to boot.) I can imagine raising an autistic child gets more complicated when they get older.

FDG: Teemu is the gentlemanliest guy! And how does he stay so tan looking all year round?

Usehername: I have a picture of Barry Melrose in his Jets jersey from way back! haha!

Agreed. Mike Green scared the shit out of me in the playoffs last year. I think he's going to be a perennial All-Star. Backstrom, Laich and Semin are good young players too. They have a nice young team, but I'm afraid I don't think they'll be going anywhere until they get a competent goaltender. I wouldn't trust Jose Theodore as far as I can throw him.

PinkPiranha · 08-31-2008, 07:45 PM

Theodore is inconsistent. He has flashes of brilliance and then turns into Swiss cheese. Losing Olie would make me frantic.

Carolina has had a goaltender problem for years until Cam Ward. I always wished Rutherford would lure Marty Brodeur away from Jersey, but no dice.

I believe Teemu lives right on the beach in Corona Del Mar most of the year, so I am not surprised he'd have a nice tan.
