from Mike Stone at The Stoney Express at Mlive,
Look, there is no doubt Sergei Fedorov was one of the greatest players to ever play for the Red Wings. I also believe there were people who treated him differently and did not give him enough credit because he was Russian. But, please Sergei, let’s not revise history here. You were also very jealous of people like Steve Yzerman and Brendan Shanahan. You certainly did not play 100 percent all of the time.
I believe the fans who booed you when you came back as an opponent were idiots. You were one of the best playoff players ever in Detroit and should have No. 91 retired someday.
But please, Sergei, do not play the diva card now. I do not buy it. The organization and the majority of the fans loved you and still do. If there is anyone who appears to be jealous, it is you, so let it go. Jealousy does not become you.

No question about it. That’s why he wanted to get out of Detroit; he believed the spotlight wasn’t big enough for the likes of an Yzerman, Shanahan, etc, and himself. And so he left. For the bright lights and hockey meccas known as Anaheim. And Columbus. By the time he arrived in a newly-refreshed and relatively vibrant hockey scene in D.C., it was too late.
You gambled, and lost, Sergei.
