Why does detroit hate marian hossa

The team that just won the Stanley Cup improved greatly with the unexpected signing of coveted forward Marian Hossa. The team also re-signed its key in-house free agents and added badly needed goaltender depth.

Although it would be more accurate to call the Montreal Canadiens the "Yankees of hockey", the Red Wings with their recent success on the ice and in player transactions have become almost as hated to many hockey fans as the Pinstripes have to many baseball fans. On the other hand, Wings fans must be incredulous at recent developments. If it wasn't enough to win their fourth Cup in 11 years, the team signed the player who was the biggest thorn in their side during the Stanley Cup finals when it signed Hossa.

Hossa made the unusual move because he felt his best shot at the Cup was with the Wings. Brad Stuart's signing, although less of a headline grabber than Hossa's, was still very huge for the team.

Acquired as a so-called rental player before last season's trade deadline, Stuart was such a large contributor to the team's run for the Cup, that he became a must-sign during free agency. He'll likely be paired up on the blue line with the punishing Niklas Kronwall, a duo that was highly effective in the playoffs. So there you have it, folks.

What we have here is a money chasing failure who can't keep his clothes on. Hopefully he doesn't mistake the puck for a silver dollar over the next two weeks, or we'll be in trouble. Why else should we hate Marian Hossa, and are there any other Hawks we should profile?

Dear Hockey Gods, Surely you have heard the greatest story in the NHL this season already: the Chicago Blackhawks have reached the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since and have a chance of winning the league championship for the first time since I hate this matchup so much I could cry Whatever happens, it will be omitted from my personal history books.

Yeah, but Pronger has a Cup, so that's a non-starter But does that mean we could make Franken-jerseys with all of the teams Laperierre has played with to support him? Speaking of bad penalties Denis Chasse! I think what I hate most about the Blackhawks right now Are the bandwagon fans who claim to not be.
