You could even make an argument that the current champs carried a defense-timid star in Teemu. <BR/>Hossa could help you win now. Sure he won't add to your biggest weakness - toughness - but that can be addressed in your next Dear Dougie.<BR/>I'd be after Nash if I were you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935246.post-69401909755292199022007-10-18T22:31:00.000-07:002007-10-18T22:31:00.000-07:00After watching the boys get spanked tonight by the...After watching the boys get spanked tonight by the Wings, I say we strip the entire team down to Joe, Patty, Mike, Ryan and Craig and start over. Nobody else seems to want and/or be able to pass/accept a pass. Detroit won tonight because of their superior passing and their overall experience, and showed exactly why a team MUST have a solid veteran core to win consistently.<BR/><BR/>DW needs to dangle Bernier, Pavelski, Goc, Rissmiller, and yes, Cheech (and this KILLS me to say) in order to get a #1 d-man and/or a game-proven goal scorer (the Ryan Smyth type.) Maybe someone who has, say, hoisted the Cup once or twice in their lives? <BR/><BR/>The Sharks should be ashamed of themselves at how they have started this season.<BR/><BR/>Ok, knee-jerk is complete.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935246.post-46035985998544493342007-10-18T13:59:00.000-07:002007-10-18T13:59:00.000-07:00I like this series...

He's a big puss. Do we really want to invest in a player that thinks D is optional? I know he's psychologically scarred by making Bryan Berard into Cyclops, but one's of these days he's gotta shake it off. I can't name a team that's won the Cup in the last 10 years that had a defense-averse star like that.<BR/><BR/>2. His contract is up. This kind of trade should only be contemplated if Hossa agrees to sign an extension immediately.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746276843496274779noreply@blogger.com
