So......the Players poll came out, and guess which player was voted as "The most difficult to play against", "The hardest player to take puck from", "most difficult to stop", "Smartest", "Cleanest", and "Toughest to play against"?
Hints........it wasn't a Canadian, and Don Cherry wasn't allowed to vote....
I used to love Don. When he wasn't convinced he was the final arbiter on everything hockey. When he wasn't a xenophobe. When he had some sartorial discretion. When Bleu was alive......;-)
Interesting poll of NHL players. Nick Lidstrom was also voted best role model. Nice to see Darren Helm crack the top 5 of a couple categories, too. The Red Wings were voted 2nd most desired team to play for, one percentage point behind Chicago. The top six favorite arenas to play in are all of the Original Six teams.
The streak is fun.....but really meaningless. Only 7 teams who have won the President's Trophy have gone on to win the Stanley Cup......so even that means squat. Peaking at the right time, hot goaltending, and staying healthy are paramount. Dats will be back, and better.
Yeah, can't see giving up a 1st round pick (albeit late first round, not a particularly talented/deep draft) for a guy who played 13 games in 3 years in his first stint with the Wings.
Repugnant is the creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.
Chicago's actually playing really well again (won 4 in a row), but yes, the Wings look like a totally different team on the road.
Howard stood on his head; was absolutely terrific tonight, but the rest of the team (I'm looking at you, Ericsson and Kindl) let him down.
Oh well, at least Vancouver lost too.

Red Wings just broke a 1-1 tie with a goal at the 13:52 mark of the 3rd Canucks have been playing them tough, last I heard Vancouver had a wide margin in shots-on-goal, but we now have a great chance of seeing the home win streak kept alive, GO WINGS!
