Boston you're doing it wrong. You lay down a epic beat down to put them in their place then you win the game. Like this.

How about taking runs at Crosby or having someone else fight Cooke again? The guy takes your best player out for the season and that's how you retaliate at him? The fans were booing for a reason. Their team showed no guts after that first fight. They might as well have asked Cooke for autographs after that.

I'd rather see Cooke banned from the game but no one ever said the world was supposed to be fair.

Just watched it on tsn.ca, really interesting interview. Go to http://watch.tsn.ca/#clip278196 , click on video library and scroll down to Off the Record and it's the interview under March 18th. Better yet here's a direct link http://watch.tsn.ca/off-the-record/off-the-record---march-18/#clip278020

That's what Lemieux did, he picked on guys either smaller or a lot older than he was. When someone his own size and age took him on, he turtled.

I'm still pretty new here, so hopefully I'm not breaking an unwritten rule by creating a new topic--and a relatively irrelevant one at that. Anyways, in the past few days of Spring-like weather, every time I step outside, my mind immediately races to playoff hockey. Although we're obviously still battling for the playoffs this year, I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. Walking around campus today, it's like I often almost automatically start thinking about when the next playoff game begins. Then, of course, I realize it's only March. However, this is the first time I have ever lived outside of the metro-Detroit area (I go to college near Chicago), and I sadly realized I won't have anyone to take in and enjoy each and every game with. I guess that's why I joined this forum. To talk about hockey. Maybe not with live people, but at least with people that share a passion for the game of hockey. So I suppose what started out as a discussion about the correlation between the weather and playoff hockey has become an acknowledgment of our mutual bond. Hockey is such a niche sport that there aren't many casual fans to discuss it with. Before that used to bug me; but now, I can't say I mind much. When you talk with a hockey fan, like on these forums, you know you're likely talking to a die-hard follower of the game. That's why, to me, we're the greatest fans of the greatest sport in the world. So, in essence, thanks. Thanks for being hockey fans. I look forward to discussing whatever the Wings hold in store for us from here on out. (And now after rambling about nothing, I have to go back to studying for my final tomorrow)

Exactly. They should have showed them the Lemieux hit on draper then the brawl that occured back in March of 97 just so the Bruins would have some idea of how to pay back an oppenent.

Nah, had a hard/draining day, but that doesn't necessarily mean a bad day. The person below me thinks this is funny.

Listening! Or at the very least making an effort to listen. Getting your butt kicked by a girl, or getting your butt kicked by a little kid

Video game remixes... This from the game Mega Man III from the early 90s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFYorHxte7c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFYorHxte7c

Pitiful. This deserved a suspension, but not that much. I will always love watching hockey, but rules/enforcement of suspension and the like are such a joke in the NHL. They are consistent with being inconsistent regarding this crap.

Always look forward to playoff hockey, but I'm always so busy with work or pre-occupied with other stuff that I'm rarely distracted or thinking about games too much until they come on.

I heard he said something about Darren's addictions and that he was glad to see him beat it and back in hockey.

I saw the last 10 minutes, after 13 years, I don't have a problem with Mac and Claude getting along. However until Lemieux says sorry to Draper, he's scum.

I don't agree with everything he said but I really can't argue it either. The countless video reels of Cooke doing knee and head shots really speaks for itself as far as he goes in terms of being a gutless and cheapshot-artist player.

Yes, that's exactly what I've said, you understood me perfectly. 19 fighters.

You need to move on... if you haven't noticed by now the league has completely changed. Having a skilled team is MORE VALUABLE to me then having 19 fighters on the team.

What lesson is that? We shouldn't sign Euros? We shouldn't sign Finns? What a stupid post. We have a couple guys from Europe that have worked out Ok so far. What a stupid post.

Yeah, but 66 years have passed since Ted broke into the league, a lot has changed since then.

He seems OK. Eliteprospects.com says that he's also "defensively responsible and doesn't mind heavy traffic." What I like him best is that he's so small that he would drive people nuts here.

Truth. I consider myself a nice hombre but I'll usually get over something that hurts if it's the truth, don't really ling being bitter or upset about stuff more than needed to be. Tunnel or Bridge

You will NOT find a backup as successful or good as Chris Osgood, for the price of Chris Osgood. Thus, the back-up goalie next year will be Chris Osgood.

he'd only be happy if it was 25 saves.

wow, these refs are just awful. and blind.
