Red Wings Sign Landon Ferraro

[Thrillhouse]

DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings executive vice president and general manager Ken Holland today announced the club has signed forward Landon Ferraro to a three-year entry level contract.

Ferraro, 19, was Detroit’s first selection, second round and 32nd overall, in the 2009 NHL draft. He currently plays for the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League, where he is second on the club with 11 points in 13 games.

Any relation to Ray ****stick? I mean Ray Ferraro?

[hebbe_25]

It's his father

[cooke-swallows]

Does that mean he is going to grow into a forgettable little butt weasel of a player just like his dad? Ray is a loud mouth little punk of a broadcaster. He always seems to be crying about the heavyweights when I watch games he is adding color to. At least games between EDM and Minny he would nonstop piss and moan about how Boogaard should not be in the league, blah, blah, blah... I think it kills him that Boogs will be remembered long after his playing days are done, and nobody remembers, or gives a flying f*ck about the little piss ant Ferraro as a player. He looks like a tiny ass gremlin twin of John Tortorella.

This kid has a ton of talent. He has a super shot and good set of wheels. Really wish the Pens would have grabbed him. Should be much better then his father.

Whenever he calls games involving the wings it seems like he's going out of his way to not criticize them. Like they won't play his kid if he says something bad about them. It's hilarious

This kid is a whiny little bitch. Detroit can have him.

Just for the ones who maybe forget something about Ray Ferraro:

- scored 108 goals in 72 games with the Brandon Wheat Kings in 83-84...I think that's a WHL record

- scored 192 points in 72 games in that season...top 5 all time scoring in the WHL

- scored 80 points with the New York Islanders in 91-92, was his best NHL season points total

- scored 898 points in 1258 games in the NHL...no so bad either

So if Landon is really sooo much better he has some big footsteps to fill.

You forgot this interesting career note:

- Is a complete and utter tool. How he has a job broadcasting jobs is a mystery to all. The "insight" he provides during a telecast makes me want to lay my head on an anvil and have it smashed repeatedly like someone was forging metal.

Other than that, yeah, a stand up guy.

Only saw him twice on TV...so I can't judge how he is in his broadcast job, the posts above just sound like Ferraro was a complete idiot. He was a more then a respectable player that was pretty good, so it want be easy for Landon to be even better.

WHL - Player of the Year 1983-84

that was his second last year in the NHL, he was a ****ing dinosaur and still put up 76 points.

lol, so he was no slouch as a player. Next time you watch TSN, check out that guys chiclets, they glow Neon yellow with filth.

Maybe the son is different from the father, who's broadcasting career is different from his hockey career.

Or is that too complex?
