from Ted Montgomery of USA TODAY,
Love affairs. They can be thrilling, and they can be heartbreaking. In the NHL, they are often confusing. For example:…
What is behind this love affair between the Detroit media, brass and fans and Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby? I can’t think of another two players in the league whose skills have eroded so precipitously. Both players made key contributions to the cup-winning teams of 1997, ‘98 and 2002, but both are now just shadows of their former selves. Draper still has significant faceoff talents, but the things that distinguished both players in their primes — blazing speed and the ability to score timely goals — have long since abandoned them.
more and other love affairs too…

Funny how Ted writes that, and the Maltby-Draper-Drake line comes out and has a great game against the Hawks tonight.
