can't even insult some folks. now that the cup has been purchased, maybe several of those hired guns can retire.Kinda like Colorado trading for Roy (just as Detroit traded for Hasek) and acquiring Blake, Bourque, etc. and winning cups in '96 and 2001. Or Dallas acquiring Hull and winning in '99. Etc.
If you're going to criticize teams for "buying" Cups, you had better be consistent. Detroit's far from the only team that made trades and free agent acquisitions and went on to win the Cup.
i didn't ignore the avs, i just didn't happen to mention them. this wings team has GREAT players. but i couldn't figure out why their fans booed them when vancouver won the first two. why would fans boo such great players? could it be that the fans are not as classy as the players? naw, that's probably not it.
