Looks more like whining and being sore loser then a rant. Was it really a big surprise that the Swedes beat the US hockey team?

He should get off his fat ass and take up curling. Maybe he could get a team together with Brant Gumble.

We put up so many cocksuckers this time around its just amazing. Bode Miller going to the fucking olympics and all he wants to do is get back to his trailer so he can get drunk.

Jacobellis got what she deserved.

Sasha Cohen is a fire breathing demon bitch that needs a good dicking

Way to represent your nation you pricks (however accurate you may be)

I wouldn't think so. Half of the Swedish team plays for the Red Wings - HOW CAN THEY LOSE?!?!?!

That rant sucks and the author's an asshole. The Olympics should be the most level playing field for athletes from any country!

This the same Swedish Red Wings that tanked their last round robin game and lost to the Russians so they wouldn't have to play Team Canada? Just goes to show Forsberg < Sakic as I've always told Sajko and co.

Sososososososo, basically what you're saying is that you became a Wings' fan on Bowman's (winningest coach in the history of the NHL) second year... Coincidently, the same year in which they made the playoffs after not having made it in 20 something years??

Bandwagoner. BANDWAGONER!!

No, what I am saying is that I started watching hockey in 1995 and the Wings were the first game I watched.

They were playing the Devils and got swept 0-4 in the finals.

Dino Ciccarelli is still the guy with the coolest name to ever play for the Wings in my book.

I had no idea who Scotty Bowman was at the time.

I was at one of those games we (the red wings, for all you sports pronoun assfaces) lost 0-4 in a luxury suite. It was pretty tits.

Speaking of pretty tits, how are you doing Laneela? You still like the Kings?? Yuck!

(I've been working on my segues, what do you guys think?)

I really wonder how people like that get jobs writing about anything.

I grew up in Michigan and the Red Wings mean diddly squat to me, just a bunch of prima donnas built prior to a salary cap with no real attachment the the area or the team.

I loathe all the Newbie Red Wings fans more than I love the Dallas Cowboys fans.

July 28, 2005

Don't be sad it's over -- be happy it happened.

In the past few days, since the official word came of the buyout and as the status of my contract teetered, the reality that I'm not going to be a Red Wing anymore has set in, and I've taken some time to reflect.

I don't know if it's maturity ('cause if you know me, that's never been an issue) or the painstaking reality of the past 12 months without hockey. Either way, I'm saddened to leave an organization in a place where I've grown up, raised a family, been part of a first-class and first-rate team, won three Stanley Cups and achieved great personal success.

But looking back, what I really feel is gratitude -- thankful for the opportunity to realize a childhood dream to play for my childhood team. Grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Ilitch and their entire family for letting this boy become a man and always treating my family as one of their own. Grateful to the entire Red Wing organization from Ken Holland and his staff, to John Hahn and Anne Marie Krappmann in the PR department for their ever tireless effort. Grateful to Piet Van Zant and Paul Boyer for patching me up and getting me back out on the ice. Grateful for the support and memories from everyone at the Joe whom I will miss seeing daily, and thankful to the media for not only their endless support of myself but in the way they've always supported the McCarty Cancer Foundation and my band Grinder.

What will I miss most about playing hockey in Detroit? That's simple. The fans. From the day-to-day coffee stop or gas station conversation to the people who say hello on the street or ask for an autograph at the checkout, there are no greater fans than those in Detroit.

These are the great things about my time as a Red Wing that I will always remember no matter where I go. Thank you to all of you. But please don't shed a tear 'cause it's over -- crack a smile 'cause it happened, and no one can ever take that away. I'll always be a Red Wing at heart, and Detroit will always be my home.

Much love to you all,

Darren McCarty, Red Wings No. 25

That's one guy. I think there are a few others on the team that would feel similarly if they were to leave Detroit.

I guess I can understand accusations of people jumping on a winning team's bandwagon.. but on the other hand people watch sports and more importantly, pay to go to sporting events to be entertained. It's not cheap (anymore) to go to sporting events. Why would I consistently pay large sums of money to watch a team lose?

Wtf were they doing playing in a luxury suite!?

I'm doing well, Sylvus. Thank you for your interest. May the sweet baby jebus smile down on you for it.

And yes... Yes, I do.
