Updated 1543: Feeling a little giddy? Wait until you read the Dive fan reaction below. Frigging priceless.
Tonite...reaction from the world.
Now? Adrienne.
I think the Wings are going to win 60 games next year. They have the most cohesive dressing room in the league, the best 1-2 punch on defense of any team in the league and now they’ve added a primetime goal-scorer to take passes from Datsyuk, Zetterberg, etc., etc.
Forget about it. Nobody’s beating Detroit.
I’m sure the hockey blogging world is blowing the Hell up over this one. Tonite, with the help of Mr. Yuengling, I’ll bring you the reaction I find. Just for fun we may even start in St. Louis, move on to Denver, over to Nashville. Stay tuned.
Wait. Don’t leave yet. Check this out from Dater’s comments.
The Wings got the guy that I wanted, so badly. They do everything right. While we’re sitting around waiting for a former legend to sign, the wings go out and get the guy that could have made a difference for us. Hossa can skate circles around Joe Sakic now. Sakic doesn’t even have a wrist shot left. Why were we waiting for Sakic, why? WHy did we let Hossa go to the best team in the NHL? WHy did we let the team that beats us so badly anymore get Hossa? Why did we let the team with the two best offensmen in the league get a third superstar? The Avs just aren’t sitting at the big table anymore. The team, like every other Denver sports team, keeps moping around in the mud, wallowing in mediocrity. Denver sports are dead, we’re in a zombie state. Does any owner or manager out there have any hunger anymore? The Wings, the team that just skated circles around everyone in the playoffs…they just added a guy who can skate even faster circles? This is the worst news I’ve ever witnessed as an Avs fan.

I chuckle.
Oh yeah, the entire league turned a nice shade of green today.
