Marian Hossa apparently turned down a 10yr/$40 million offer from the Detroit Red Wings. A low-ball offer if I do say so myself.

I found this post on Pensblog funny… mainly because 99% of Red Wings fans probably said this upon hearing about Mr. Hossa.

“The sheer gall of Marian Hossa…

This is the RED WINGS! This isn’t just the organization that sits high upon their perch and chortles at the rest of the NHL.

This is the RED WINGS. This isn’t just the model hockey franchise.

This is the RED WINGS. This is the organization that invented hockey…no, no, no…wait! This is the organization that fucking invented RUBBER because without rubber, there would be no pucks. After they invented rubber, THEN they invented pucks. After they invented pucks, THEN they invented hockey.

I thought every hockey player was falling all over himself just for the chance to play for the Red Wings, for the chance to become part of “The Family”.

I thought every hockey player would play for free just for the chance to wear a Red Wings practice jersey.

I thought every hockey player would give anything to see the soft glow beam down from the heavens and chorus of angels singing as they first set skate to Joe Louis Arena ice.”

Yes, I still hate Detroit.

And you should too.
