Dino On Hossa

from Terry Foster of the Detroit News,
Former Red Wing Dino Ciccarelli didn’t understand all the fuss generated after free-agent forward Marian Hossa turned down multiple-year contracts to sign for one year with the Red Wings. Ciccarelli thought the criticism continuing to ring out at Hossa for turning down $40 million in guaranteed money to be silly….
“When you play this game you want to be successful as a team and you want to be successful individually,” said Ciccarelli, who lives in Shelby Township. “He’s got the best of both worlds. I don’t know who would knock him. Why wouldn’t a player want to come here? How the hell can you knock the guy?”
In the story you will also find a reference to a TSN column, but it is not the TSN we know as hockey fans. This is the 2nd Detroit media reference to the story from the other TSN and I am beginning to wonder if they know the difference? Foster writes Canadian columnists have accused Hossa… but the TSN story he is pointing out is US based and not really known for their hockey coverage.
