I hate the Red Wings as much as the next guy, probably a lot more actually, but Pavel Datsuyk is legit! Best player in the NHL I say.

Of course he's a great player, but I have a rep to keep so he stinks.


Dude what's with the Red Wings hate my man? How could you hate such an amazing team? I mean they aren't as good as the Coyotes, but they're pretty damn good. 

And all their great players are late draft picks, Zetter and Datsyuk are both like 6th/7th rounders! haha. And Holmstrom is the lowest draft pick ever to reach 1,000 games. 

Do you really need to have an answer to that question?  I am a Blackhawks fan that lives in Chicago.  Both teams are original six teams and the Wings have been the Blackhawks biggest rivals since back in those days.  The two teams have always been in the same division.  Also, the history hasn't always been pretty (the Wings have a long and  illustrious history of always having a top goon /enforcer).  Most hockey historians will tell you that Gordie Howe himself was one of the dirtiest skilled players ever.  Ever heard of the Gordie Howe hat trick?  Also, who throws an octopus on the ice?  Fans used to do it when the Wings were being eliminated, but now they do it for no reason.  Add to that the fact that win a lot and it's not too hard to see why I don't like them.  Hawks and WIngs is like Bears and Packers, or Yankees and Red Sox, or Keanu Reeves and Academy awards.  They don't mix. 


Oh yeah true man, I forgot you were a Chicagoite! That makes sense then. My geography tells me I should be a Leafs fan, but screw them I like the Coyotes. 

And yeah Gordie Howe aka Mr. Elbows was definitely dirty! haha. But a highly effective player. Its sorta funny how the Gordie Howe hat trick is named after him but I think he only did it like 3 or 4 times in his career! Personally I think a Gordie Howe hat trick is better than a regular hat trick. 

I'm sorry man but we just disagree on hockey. I hate the Blackhawks! I hate Marian Hossa because of how he lost in the cup finals with the Penguins in 2008 and then jumps ship to the Red Wings in 2009 and they lose, so he trades to a different contender, the Blackhawks and that lucky asshole finally gets a win. I also hate Patrick Kane because he's way overrated and he just looks like a rat, plus he beat up a cab driver. And then Toews is all right by me but why is it spelled Toews and pronounced Taves? Damn what a weird name.
