Nezer, why can't you stand the Wings? Is it because they're unbelievably humble? I mean, 99.99% of hockey players are pretty humble, but man alive, Detroit sports figures have to be the least media-covered and underspoken of their kind. Steve Yzerman comes to mind. Isiah Thomas from the Pistons. Not to mention the Lions.. how much more humble can you get?
But seriously, there's nothing to not love about the Wings. They're a very consistent team that plays clean, non-trap-style hockey, mixes it up with skating it in and dump-n-chase, new lines all the time, and they never freakin' bitch and moan.
Wahh (Roy) is a goof. Great goalie, but man, he's an arrogant creampuff. I really love him for the way he holds up his glove when he thinks he has the puck, and gets it knocked in. (By the way, that was a total "Cloutier" series crusher for the Avs -- I'm referencing the Vancouver/Wings series when Cloutier let in a 50 footer with no screen -- that was the pivotal moment in the series)
Lidstrom, our defenseman had one or no pentalities in the seven game series against the Avs -- as opposed to the "children of the corn" defenseman with their scythes on the Avs (Foote and Darius K).
Damn it, you're in LA, and you love the Avs? Show some love for Luc Robataille!
