EVERYONE KNOWS HOW MUCH I DISLIKE THE RANGERS, BUT THE ADAM GRAVES NUMBER RETIREMENT CEREMONY WAS DONE VERY WELL. FANS WERE HOLDING UP SIGNS THAT READ THANK YOU MESS FOR MAKING IT COOL TO CRY. REFURRUNG TO MARK MESSIER LOSING IT WHEN THEY RETIRED HIS NUMBER.
EVEN I AS AN ISLANDER FAN GOT WET EYED WHEN THEY LIFTER THE BANNER.
I DID GET A BIG GIGGLE WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF GRAVES SPEACH 19,000 RANGER FANS YELLED OUT "POTVIN SUCKS"
POTVIN GETS A KICK OUT OF IT AND SAYS THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. THEY ARE JUST ACKNOWLEDGING THAT FOR ALL THOSE YEARS IN THE EARLY 1980'S THAT POTIVN WAS THE CAPTIN OF THE ISLANDERS THAT IT WAS "POTVINS CUPS" |

I THINK IT IS A SHAME, BUT IN ALL SPORTS THE STANDARDS HAVE COME DOWN. IT USED TO BE THE ELITE GOT THESE SPECIAL RECOGNATIONS. TO ME CARLTON FISK IS A RED SOX. TOO MANY PLAYERS CHANGE TEAMS NOW SO OFTEN THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW WHO SPEND 15 YEARS IN THE SAME ORGANIZATION ANY MORE. OH BELL THE BUSINESS SIDE OF SPORTS CHANGES THE SPORT IN MANY WAYS.
I GUESS WE HAVE TO ENJOY THE SPORT FOR THE SPORT ITSELF, THEN MANY YEARS AFTER LOOK BACK AND REFLECT ON A PARTICULAR PLAYERS PLACE IN HISTORY AGAINST THE PLAYERS WH PLAYED IN HIS ERA.
WE I'D LOVE TO CHAT MORE BUT THE AUDIT AND MONTH END CLOSE ARE CALLING.

I have heard the name fisk, but since I dont folow baseball, I dont know anything of him
gilmour, I dont think anyone should have retired his number. should he be in the hall of fame, perhaps, but he didnt do enough for any one team to earn that honour, to me the HOF and retired number are separate. the flames retired lanny MacDonald, I dont recall if he got the hall of fame, but he was the face of hockey here for 10 years. he was the man, even when gilmour was here.
the devils retired ken Danyko, he will never see the HOF, but played an entire carear as a tough stand up defenceman for them, and scott stevens who was there for most of the time, and might make the hall.
to me, you should only be retired (or your number) if that jersey is the only one people can picture you in. if the best player in the world did 20 years in 20 jerseys, personaly I wouldnt retire any of them.

AS USUAL FREEZE I CAN'T DISAGREE WITH YOU.
IT DOES BOTHER ME A LOT THAT BASEBALL DOES LET A "FANS CHOICE" GAME DECIDE WHICH LEAGUE GETS HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE IN THE WORKS SERIES.
ALL BECAUSE OF A TIE ALL STAR GAME WHERE THEY DID NOT WANT TO OVER PITCH PITCHERS WHO HAD TO PITCH REAL GAMES FOR THEIR TEAMS IN A DAY OR SO. THE FANS GOT TO SEE 10 INNINGS. MORE THAN THEY EXPECTED. IT'S AN EXHIBITION. LET IT END IN A TIE. |

Whatever the sport, the problem with so-called "All-Star" games is that they are more of a popularity contest than anything else. To begin with, if they are going to have fans do the voting, don't call it "All Stars". Call it something like "Fans Choice". A guy having a good year ( especially a rookie) is not what I consider an All Star. To me, the All Stars are the best. Guys that have worked at their craft for years, put up the numbers and been consistent. THAT is the biggest thing for me, consistency. Almost any athlete can have a good year..maybe two. Its the guys that stay consistent year after year that are the true All Stars. Also, there are guys that stay TOO LONG and their skills are not what they were. Nothing worse than a guy that does not know when to "hang it up". These guys get voted in for nostalgic reasons and that is a shame.
Honestly, I have no problem with a Fan's Choice game. The whole point is that fans want to watch their favorite players. I suppose it does not matter what you call it, it is a matter of giving the people what they want. And if THAT is the case, then the league officials need to BUTT OUT! If they want to monitor these things and make them something more relevant being the best, STOP LETTING FANS VOTE! You can't have it both ways. |

I DON'T THINK THE ALL STAR GAME NEEDS TO GO AWAY. IT'S FOR THE FANS. IT GIVES THE OTHER PLAYERS A LITTLE BREAK.
THE PROBLEMS ALL STARTED WHEN YOU CAN VOTE ON THE COMPUTER. WHEN IT WAS DONE MANUALLY NOBODY WOULD SIT AND PUNCH HOLES IN 25 CARDS. WITH THE COMPUTER THEY EVEN TELL YOU.... YOU CAN ONLY VOTE 25 TIMES. WHY. ONE FAN ONE VOTING BALLOT.
FOOTBALL IS THE MOST REDICULOUS. THEY VOTE AFTER 7 GAMES. SOMEONE CAN HAVE A GREAT LAST 9 GAMES, HAVE A BETTER SEASON THAN SOMEONE WHO HAD A GOOD START TO THE SEASON AND NOT GET VOTED.?????????? BEATS ME.
JUST THE OPINION OF AN BASEBALL AND HOCKEY FAN-ATIC. |

You KNOW I was kidding about all my comments with you tonight. I, too, think that the Detroit players should have done the right thing and shown up. Like I said with my first post, all I was going to say on the subject. They were supposedly voted in by the fans (I still do have my doubts as to the veracity of the "fan count") and they should have gone save for, as you say, extreme circumstances. Still, I defend Detroit to the death! You probably have not been to my city but I've actually been to yours as a kid (I remember it as being very nice, btw). Spent about a month in Ottawa, as well. My pop had a time-share near Sault St. Marie, MI that we traded off one year for Ottawa and travelled around a bit. Winter, to boot. To us, it was warmer. The upper ( as we call the Upper Peninsula of MI) picks up lake-effect wind and snow. Especially around the Mackinac isle area of MI. I believe it is actually north of you, in fact (too lazy to find a map, IOW...could be wrong).
Like I would argue about a Pittsburgh fan, you are preaching to the choir when you talk about hockey. I grew up in a suburb of Detroit (Grosse Pointe) where we sit 15 minutes drive out of Canada. We get all the Ontario stations on both tv and radio. CBC to watch hockey was a no-brainer and also what keeps my tagline here. Bought most of my beer from a brewer's retail and ran it home through the tunnel (higher alcohol than the watered-down version of the states). Hockey is sacrilege here in the south, IMO. Water and oil. Don't go together.
Like you said, it is a RELIGION to most on the Canadian side of Michigan as well. Believe it or not. College and Pro. Biggest game in college is University of Michigan vs. Michigan State. They set up the rink in the football field and there is standing room only. Especially when it is in "the Big House" (U of M...100,000+ stadium). I argue that most in Canada have NO idea how important this game is to us.
I could have cited almost all the numbers about the Wings by heart but I wasn't kidding about wanting to see your pic of the cup. Like you, I would have KILLED to see it up close and personal (says the guy with a Molson Ice in hand! LOL!).

It just looked very "odd" that all the starters came from only 4 teams and that Montreal was very well represented in a home town game. Granted they are huge hockey fans and probably spent every waking moment voting.

No, it isn't just you. I actually often think that in a lot of major sports. Hockey just seems to be one of many.
Then again, I am openly prejudiced. I loathe Anaheim (and my father is a traitor for supporting them...turncoat!). Here my brother goes and moves to Toronto. Goes to Cali with a freakin' Leaf's hat on?! He is dead to me as well!

The Red Wings have won the most Stanley Cup championships (11)[1] of any NHL franchise based in the United States, and are third overall in total NHL championships, behind the Montreal Canadiens (24) and Toronto Maple Leafs (13). They currently play home games in the 20,066 capacity Joe Louis Arena after having spent over 40 years playing in Olympia Stadium.
From 1933–34 to 1965–66, the Red Wings only missed the playoffs four times. After almost two decades as an also-ran, the Red Wings have made the playoffs in 23 of the last 25 seasons, including the last 17 in a row. This is the longest current streak of post-season appearances in all of American professional sports.

Uh, one? (and I still say that you must be really hairy you limpwristic girly man! )
-------------------------
The Red Wings have won the most Stanley Cup championships (11)[1] of any NHL franchise based in the United States, and are third overall in total NHL championships, behind the Montreal Canadiens (24) and Toronto Maple Leafs (13). They currently play home games in the 20,066 capacity Joe Louis Arena after having spent over 40 years playing in Olympia Stadium.
From 1933–34 to 1965–66, the Red Wings only missed the playoffs four times. After almost two decades as an also-ran, the Red Wings have made the playoffs in 23 of the last 25 seasons, including the last 17 in a row. This is the longest current streak of post-season appearances in all of American professional sports.
