Re: 2008/2009 Red Wings Season Update

A friend just told me Hossa had some insane offers he turned down to play for the Wings.

Something is afoot.

The guy wants to win the cup. That's the bottom line. And if the Wings are healthy, they should be the favorite to win it all again, virtually bringing back the same team.

Re: 2008/2009 Red Wings Season Update

Sounds like some folks are bitter about the Hossa signing.

Quote:
Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province criticized Hossa, saying he would "step into Detroit for one fun-filled season, pick up his ring, and then go for the big financial score the following season, when some poor team will lay out a huge wad of cash for some guy who's already invited himself to the championship dance by joining a team that may well have gotten there whether he'd been involved or not."

Damien Cox of the Toronto Star said joining a loaded team "is the only way to understand the decision ... to accept a 25% discount on his services for one year, to go and live in Detroit and play out of crumbling, smelly Joe Louis Arena."

Michael Rushton of TSN wrote that Hossa "managed to slap the faces of both competitiveness and logic with one sweep of the pen."
Cox seems to be most bitter, as if to say Detroit is an awful place to live. I haven't been to Joe Louis in a few years, but I have a hard time believing it has become crumbling and smelly.

They're all just jealous as we have the real hockey team. Let them talk their ****. I'll take the cup (I bet Hossa will as well).

Hossa wants the ship bad. He's willing to give up millions to get it. He was honest about what he's doing. He will stay for one year and leave. What's the issue here? Sounds like fear and sour grapes from these guys. Yeah, the city of Detroit is hurting right now. The economy sucks and it ain't so purdy to look at. But the sports teams (sans the Leos) are darned competitive. Eat your hearts out you bastards.
