His production made this a good contract. His possession and zone entry's makes it an absolute steal. Blew my expectations thru the roof.

Best Filp moment this season? The saucer pass through the middle to stammers first goal back from injury. That was a beauty.

Well, thanks to Stevie Y, the Detroit fans are becoming reluctant Tampa fans. Besides, we are better positioned for deep runs in future playoffs than the Wings. Making it to the playoffs every year for over two decades is a great accomplishment, but it doesn't mean much without a conference title or a Cup. I see the Bolts in the final four this coming year. Detroit would need a miracle to get past the first round.

I kind of expected more Detroit fans than this. But I guess most of them are still standing in the soup lines, or mugging someone, or being evicted from their rat trap of a house!

Hah, well, there's a few Wings trolls out, but not all that many, really.

Val was a beast, plain and simple. Anyone who says otherwise about last season doesn't care about conventional stats, advanced stats or watching games. In essence, they're Colbert-truthying the whole matter.

I'm originally from BC you toothless fish humper.

I also don't (frank)ing care where you live, it doesn't change the fact that Detroit (the city) is dying a slow painful death.

I didn't want to say anything before, but I think you're both acting very lousy. I always hate when anyone. Especially those from Detroit poke fun at a city for anything outside of hockey. It's horrible. I understand troll type comments happen when we are all in competition to win the cup, but seriously, why do you guys have to get so mean. Detroit being bankrupt is not funny.

I think it's (frank)ing hilarious. It's the goddamn city of the future mother(frank)ers! See, the thing is I'm a grown-up and I pay my bills and I pay my taxes so when people and/or cities go bankrupt because they spend more than they earn I have no (frank)ing sympathy for them.

There is a reason Wings let him go, it wasn't about the money.
It was about putting everything on the line when it mattered.
He was similar to Franzen, frustrating to watch, all talent, no heart, just gliding around
the ice, not using his body, not fighting for the pucks and so on.

I heard he left because he hated mike Babcock! Wings offered him 5.5 per year for a 5 year term! He took 5 for 25 in tampa.

I could say the same about myself but I don't get off on other people struggling. It's pretty low.

I haven't cried once. In fact I've been rooting for Tampa since the day Steve Yzerman took over. I don't see why everyone thinks all Detroit fans are trolls. In most of our comments in Detroit blogs we all say we're jealous of your team right now.
