What this game needs is a little more Ty Conklin.

That's what's all over Twitter. Even NBC was confused why there was no handshakes. I have absolutely no doubt now that it was no mistake that Crosby didn't shake Nick's hand (yeah, yeah, call me out for bringing that up again two years later, whatever). Good job marketing the game, Crybaby.

Happy New Year! January's featured players are defensemen Niklas Kronwall and Reed Larson: Widescreen: 1920x1200 | 1680x1050 | 1440x900 | 1280x800 4:3 & 5:4: 1600x1200 | 1400x1050 | 1280x960 | 1280x1024 | 1024x768 Enjoy!

ffffuuu--- Couldn't they do this a day or two earlier?

You're not. This is a good hockey game. Anyone who says otherwise is just butt hurt because the Pens are playing in it.

Penguins? Getting a goal waived off? What world am I in?

Capitals jersey = awesome Penguins jersey = toilet

You know I am getting a little tired of Babcock cutting Jimmy Howard all the slack in the world. No, the loss was not per say all Howard's fault, but the job of a goalie is to stop a puck, even during times when the team defense is not at its best. Obviously goalies are not going to be perfect when the defense is weak, but Howard is just letting in too many goals the past month and a half or so; it seems to be a trend for him to let in 4 goals these days. My problem is that Ozzy has been looking REALLY solid in net, but then gets the bench for Howard, who is playing average at best. I see that Howard is getting the nod again tomorrow against Philly which makes me mad because I think Ozzy deserves some games here. All biased aside, I know there are Ozzy fans and Howie fans, but I think Babs should be rotating them and, as the year progresses, give the better goalie more starts, and then use that to determine the goalie for the playoffs. At this rate, I feel every time the other team shoots it is going to go in on Howie (that is what I felt with Ozzy last year) so unless Howie starts outperforming Ozzy, Id say he should be the go to guy somewhere down the line

good thing we still have one Czech, or else, no funny. Still the best Red Wings commercial, ever:

And it looked like Steckel was just going up ice while Crosby wasn't paying attention to where he was going. Steckel tries to get out of Crosby's way at the last second, Crosby feels contact and pirouettes to the ice.

Am I the only one a bit surprised to see Jimmy in goal? I would like to have seen Ozzie get this one. But, oh, well... GO WINGS!!! Can't wait to see what Tatar has in store for us. He's really exciting to watch. Draper-Helm-Tatar: hockey smarts, speed, and fire power... I like this line!

lol at the Fireworks!!!

Hey, don't knock the wind. It helped Dats, right?

Fleury interfered with Ovechkin! What a joke, he isn't even in the crease!!! BS CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

that guy in the steeler's jacket has a better shot than helm

Pang slurping all over Crosby... surprise!!

Bylsma looks like an extra in a Kevin Costner period movie. Just say no to the chapeau, Dan.

here goes the crying from Crosby...

Okay, for Shaman, here's a list of 2nd line centers that are UFA at the end of this year: Handzus Arnott And possibly available for trade: S. Koivu (NTC, price tag: $2.5m for 1 yr) -- At this point, Flip is superior, and Koivu may not waive NTC Langkow ($4.5m for 1 yr) -- No comment Jokinen ($3m for 1 yr) -- Why would we do this? Horcoff (way too much for way too long) -- why? Stoll (3.6m for 1 yr) Gomez -- lol Drury -- extra lol McDonald -- 4.7 for 2 So... who do we get instead of Flip.. and why?

what's that? you want a club mix? http://picosong.com/PhR

Oh jeeze, you have too much time on your hands. Goal light is a goal light. If you want a redwings goal light, perhaps you should invent and market it, and make some money off it. That company is just trying to produce a goal light for hockey fans. A general goal light. Nothing on that site implies it is "Detroit" friendly. Give me a break dudes. It's a goal light.
