    Re: Stanley Cup

    Sorry Syd the Kid, your name isn't on the cup for a reason and that reason is that you have to play the REAL sports dynasty.

    How does Hossa not deserve a cup and Malkin and Crosby do?
    I understand Pittsburgh fans are salty that Hoss left but c'mon, he's playing for less money even. He wants to win and Hoss is better with 1 hand on the stick than anyone in the NHL and even Crosby and Malkin's lovers Barry Melrose and Gary Bettman will admit that.

    I'm not taking anything away from the skill of Crosby because I've played against the kid in my younger days and his team trounced us 13-2 and Crosby had 8 of them and I can't take away that Evgeni Malkin is a good player despite the fact that I hate him. All I'm saying is once again it's going to come down to experience and skill as a team and when it comes to that... NO TEAM IN SPORTS even holds a flame to The Detroit Redwings!

    Good luck Pitt fans, but once again the cup stays in HOCKEYTOWN! Go Wings!

    For now, most of that holds true, but as everyone knows most of the wings are old and probably not long till retirement. I think that'll devastate the team. But they will always be know for how good they were, just like any other team. And The Miami Dolphins were better than the wings, they went undefeated (as im sure you know)
    I dont agree with a word your saying but will defend to the death your right to say it

    for years the wings have been one of if not the oldest team in hockey and have had the cup 4 of the last 11 yrs and been in the hunt all of them.

    Detroit is regarded throughout sports as the best run organization for their system used in developing young players, making timely and smart trades, free agency, and coaching. This includes not just North America but also Europe from everything in the minors to the pro level.

    The point you're making was stated when Yzerman retired. The Wings haven't skipped a beat. The team is stocked and will be contending for years.

    exactly the wings have been known for years for finding players that everyone has over looked and them becomeing what looks to be future hall of famers. and you can almost say that when stevie went to the front office the wings stepped it up a notch. (not saying he was holding them back by any means)

    Also Mike Illitch does what most owners don't do. He spends the money when he needs to.


    Not taking away from the Dolphins but...
    The dolphins also only played once a week and a total of what 22 games tops? That's a little different than playing 80+.
