Goon Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 In the first period between TB and Montreal there were 17 minor penalties called. Is the WCHA now reffing NHL games too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I noticed that too. It sucks now because I can't point at the NHL and ask the WCHA refs why they can't be more like the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The calling of penalties settled down the rest of the way, but there is no reason to call 17 penalties in one period. That 34 minutes, the period is only 20 minutes long. That is a lot of special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwing77 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 The New York Yankees of Hockey have been eliminated... Nope. Everyone knows that the Canadiens are the Yankees of the NHL.

PCM Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Did anyone notice on the Hockey's Future forums that there's talk of Mapletoft being traded to Edmonton? I can't believe that redwing77 hasn't kept us informed of this development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe that redwing77 hasn't kept us informed of this development. It's because of all the emotional trauma that would cause if he were to leave the island for the frigid arctic weather of Edmonton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just talking about championships, talking about how everyone hates the Yankees, not only because they win, but because they like to spend a lot more money than other teams.

Even so, wouldn't the Rangers be the NHL version of the Yankees then? I thought they had the highest payroll in the NHL up until the trade deadline, anyways.

tboneund Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I'm a Wild fan so I love watching the underdog win, however I did feel bad that Cujo missed getting a cup, he played great...as did Kipursoff kudos to Commie too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skateshattrick Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 hey moron they are talking about thier payrolls You are comparing apples and oranges. The Yankees have a payroll of 180 million, and has typically double of the next closest team (at least until this year with the Red Sox starting to close the gap) and 5 times as much as some teams. There is nothing comparable to the Yankees who typically buy all of their pitchers (Mussina, Clemens, Wells, Kevin Brown, etc.) and many position players (Giambi, etc.) The Red Wings have typically not even been the highest payroll team. The Rangers typically are. Plus, the gap between the salaries in the NHL are not nearly as disproportionate as they are in baseball. The Red Wings core of players came out of their system or through trades, including Yzerman, Federov (now gone--purchased by the Ducks), Holmstrom, Lidstrom, Maltby (via trade), Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Draper, Fischer, Dandenault, etc. They traded for Chelios and Lang, and have a few free agents (Cujo, Hatcher, Hull, Shanahan). Virtually every team makes deals before the playoffs, and the Red Wings make no more deals than Colorado, Toronto, Philadelphia and others. Plus, players want to play for the Red Wings because of the tradition and fan support, so typically will take less to play for the Wings. If anything, they are more like the LA Lakers. Quite frankly, the Red Wings, along with the Devils and the Avalanche, are model franchises and the class of the NHL, irrespective of payroll. Finally, whether you agree or disagree with someone on this board, please have some manners. Calling someone a moron is not appropriate, particularly when that person was not flaming or trolling.

WildSioux Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Nice to see the dead things out of the race. Typical of a red shirt fan to start stuff like this to even think their team could make it. Not after last years pathetic ending to the Wild. Typical arrogance they can take straight to the golf course. I cannot stand the wings and their own fans...makes me sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 For those interested, here is Yzerman after the puck to the face. Stevie wants to play again next season. May I suggest Steve wear a half shield, his eye looks messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost to that Mickey Mouse outfit out in Kalifornie, you know, them Ducks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
