As a true Hockey fan of a younger generation, let me say that I hope these traditions don't die either

Uh Al I presented two sides to what he did. I said in both instances it was wrong and he knew what he was doing. Would I rip my son a new one if he did what Crosby did? Hell yes I would. I said it was Chicken Sh_t and it was.

That said while often a crybaby he does play hard with a high level of skill. If the team is playing well behind him and they are as evidenced by the back to back finals appearence and a cup win to me he keeps the C. I ask you what is the Captain there to do? Motivate. I would say that a team that makes it to the cup finals to years in a row that isnt named the redwings and doesnt have the depth they have is clearly motivated. The Pens are not as deep, look at the gigantic drop off in overall production after Malkin and Crosby. He clearly is a talker and in the dressing room I am sure he has a BIG MOUTH. As Tom pointed out the C is sometimes being given to young players who dont earn it. I am in no way comparing the two. While Toews seems to be a standup young man and good player, he is not as good a player as Crosby. Crosby however is a big complainer. All I am saying is I wouldnt take the C away from a player whos team just won the cups and almost won it the previous year.

OOO and I still play a little pickup here and there, just cant play any league do to the three kids all being three and under.

I want to clarify my last post as I can see where it sounds a bit cold.

My only point is I'm not looking for an argument on this as both sides have strong feelings. Not a hill I want to die on myself is all.

New season start yet?

LasciviousXXX · 06-14-2009, 01:43 PM

I can't wait for the new season. Center Ice package here I come!!!!

Center Ice is the bomb!

LasciviousXXX · 06-14-2009, 01:48 PM

Agreed!

I've had the Center Ice package for the last few years and man am I ever glad I did. Love being able to watch every game if time allows.

Ahbroody · 06-14-2009, 02:50 PM

Pretty sure this is not a rules violation.
I have been unable to have center ice for the past year do to agreement with the wife. Basically I work swing shift and miss most games. As a result I found a site that allows me to watch the games on my computer either when in the office or the car using a data cable from my phone.

Anyway if you are ever find yourself out or unable to watch a game at home I recommend the site www.myp2p.eu The Forums sections has links to streaming websites where people stream almost every game. I use this site a lot during the season while at work. The also do football, baseball, cricket, rugby, etc . Pretty much all things sports.

When i'm at school I watch all my sports streaming, I usually have multiple games running at a time. The only problem I have is that I need a bigger monitor.

What did crosby do after the game? I must have missed it. If it was early in the thread I'll check later tonight but I'm on phone now

DETROIT -- Chris Chelios won't be with the Detroit Red Wings next season.

Wings general manager Ken Holland tells The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press he met with the 47-year-old and Chelios wouldn't be offered another contract.

The Associated Press left a message for Holland Monday evening seeking comment.

Holland tells the News it was "kind of understood last summer" when Chelios signed a one-year deal that it would be his last.

Holland says Chelios wants to play another season and believes the veteran player can still play.

Detroit signed Chelios in 1999, and Holland calls him "just a perfect role model for young players."

I have little doubt Chelly will be playing somewhere next season.

Just saw this:

Yzerman, Hull, Robitaille, Leetch elected to HOF

Quote:

-Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Luc Robitaille and Brian Leetch are going into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The selection committee announced on a conference call Tuesday it had elected the maximum four players this year. All were eligible for the first time. New Jersey Devils president Lou Lamoriello was also elected in the builder category.
Yzerman ranks sixth all-time in points with 1,755. The longtime Detroit Red Wings captain won the Stanley Cup three times and a gold medal with Canada in the 2002 Olympics.
"Even now when I go back home in the summers, it's really something that's really important to Canadian hockey fans and Canadians in general that we were able to win that medal," Yzerman said.
Hull's 741 goals rank third all-time. He played 19 years with the Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, Red Wings and Phoenix Coyotes. Hull received the Hart Trophy as league MVP in 1991.
His father, Bobby, is already in the Hall.
"It is hard to put into words what this means to me, especially since I'm joining my father in the Hockey Hall of Fame," Hull said in a statement.
His 741 goals trail only Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe, and his 24 career playoff game-winning goals are tied with Gretzky for the most in NHL history. He scored the Stanley Cup-winning goal for the Stars in the third overtime of Game 6 of the 1999 finals.
Hull was traveling in his current job as the Stars' executive vice president during the announcement.
Leetch became the first American-born player to earn the Conn Smythe Trophy after leading the New York Rangers to the Stanley Cup in 1994. He also twice won the Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman.
Leetch is one of just five defensemen to have a 100-point season.
He and Hull played on the gold medal-winning 1996 U.S. World Cup team for which Lamoriello was the general manager.
"For sure, Brett and I were part of a group that were old enough to remember 1980 and to be spurred on that from a country standpoint," Leetch said.
Robitaille's 668 goals are the most by a left wing. He received the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie in 1987.
Yzerman, Hull and Robitaille won a Stanley Cup together with the Red Wings in 2002.
"It was a great amount of good pressure where we were expected to win, but it was a lot of fun," Robitaille said.

Very good!! Thanks for the info, Joe.

I miss watching all four play the game. I'm getting a bit misty eyed.
