That is a shame for Oates and Thomas, they are indeed both excellent players...too bad they couldn't have gone to another team. :(

For the ducks, too bad they don't have Fulton with his rocket shot and that black kid with the Knuclepuck to win this cup. :laugh:

ARRG!

I've had every series right (except for the series counts, as in wins-losses, I suck at those) up until now... Stupid Devils! :angry:

i agree (except the detroit part, of course). :yes:

Same here ;) hehe

I'm tired of people hating on Detroit, too, it's asinine. I'm going to go on a little rampage here, but bear with me... Detroit was horrid in the 80's. So what did they do to get better? They made some amazing draft picks. With those picks, they gradually became better and better. Soon they won the Stanley Cup ("soon" depending on how you look at it, I'm talking about the turn around that was made). Yet, even though they won, they still made some amazing draft picks. In fact, they're making/made better draft picks than they ever have before. You don't get talent like Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Huddler, Williams, Wallin, Avery (even if he is gone), and Grigorenko (get better!) by just being lucky. Those are absolutely amazing picks considering that Detroit has had low-round picks mostly in the 2nd round due to some nice trading moves. So, if anyone ever tells you that Detroit buys their players they're dead wrong. Detroit earned all of the money they have by making wise draft picks. Mike Illithc never wanted to spend much money on them until they started producing, same with the current Tigers. If you want to see a team that "buys" their players look at the NY Rangers or possibly even the Dallas Stars (I hate them... stupid fans here in Dallas).

End of rampage.

Not to mention they had no enthusiasm when the Devils won.
