At least he didn't replace Jarmo.

Yzerman is one of those guys where I don't care what uniform he had on....he gets my respect

So you gents are telling me that you'd be perfectly cool with him taking a job in the Blues organization, if such a scenario ever presented itself?

It would have been short lived like the Belfour era if Stevie Y would have joined the Blues. And yes I would. Even though he was a Red Wing player and he killed the Blues in the Playoffs he still has hockey sense to pick players. Even though he had one bajillion players to choose from for Team Canada he know talent.

Yzerman is the smoke monster.

I just don't know how you can hate the guy. Always a class act, always well spoken professional sportsman. You can hate him for being a good player I guess, and for doing it against the Blues more times than are worth counting, but I respect the guy. I mean you don't see Wings fans coming in here saying Al MacInnis is a douche- same thing to me.

I would have no problems with it in any shape or form.

I'm with Guppy. Yzerman was with the Wings when they were the "Dead Things"... the dwellers of the Norris.

He gets a pass. It's the pansies who bandwagoned on to the team later who will not be forgiven.

Stevie Y was and is a class act. He played bigger than he was and wasn't a cheap shot artist.

Once someone goes to work for the Blues, their past is their past if they can help the Blues to the next level.

I'm in the minority. He's the poster boy for the Red Wings, and is the symbol of what they stand for. Screw Yzerman.

And if it means anything...ex-referee Paul Stewart called Yzerman the biggest complainer/crybaby in the league.
