Who is this jesus anahahim you speak of? Must be a french name.

Franzen - Zetterberg - Bertuzzi Hudler - Datsyuk - Cleary Holmstrom - Modano - Eaves Abdelkalder - Helm - Boogaard

Huge +1 to the props for the Ozzie commentary. It's nice to hear it. I think he could be a great broadcaster.

Like I said before, the Flyers won't make it out of the first round.

haha Mickey-ism: "There was an egg in his back pocket and it was still in one piece!"

How is jumping on Howard NOT goalie interferrence??

Ozzie has what it takes to be a good color commentator in his post-retirement years. Keen insight, knows the game inside-out, good sense of humour and a good voice.

Great talk with ozzy. Really enjoyed that

Great interview with Ozzie. Really good questions and interesting insight.

Mickey & Kenny's talk with Ozzie is great.

A friend of mine sent me a text today with a bit of a poem regarding his team, the Flames. In response, I created this poem and figured you folks would enjoy it. Dear Red Wings, You hail from the Motor City. Hockeytown, they say. And I will always support you, Through every night and day. They call you the 'Winged Wheel'. Because around the ice, you fly. Following in the footsteps of the legends: Sawchuk, Howe and the greatest, Stevie Y. A franchise steeped in history, To which no team can compare Nothing like hockey night at the Joe, When octopi fill the air. You've led me to the championships and heartbreaks, well there's been more than one. But, of all the other teams in this league, Over you, I'd chose none. And you may be the greatest, And you may be the best. And there's no doubt in my mind, You're better than the rest. Yet I must endure a lot, to be a part of the league's greatest show, but no matter what happens, You'll hear me yelling "Go Wings Go!" But you still bring me sadness, And you still bring me tears. Hell, the first round of the playoffs Is one of my biggest fears. But I know you still want Stanley To that goal you'll remain true. And for that, and other reasons, I'll unconditionally love you.

All that can be considered a tribute to, is chlamydia and low IQ

Lemieux's message may be true, but he went about it in a pretty brain dead way. It's obvious he doesn't care about the state of NHL hockey (as he colleagues have already said regarding his absence from meetings) until it affects his team. It's not "we need to do this to improve the game," it's "my team got punked so down with this sort of thing."

Franzen-Zetterberg-Bertuzzi Hudler-Datsyuk-Cleary Modano-Filppula-Holmstrom Abdelkader/Miller-Helm-Eaves Draper Thoughts? We know that the top two lines work well, and the fourth, but what about the third? I think it'd be a good way to salvage Homer on a scoring line without taking Cleary out of the top 6...as opposed to turning the 4th line into a complete waste (as we're now doing with Miller-Abby-Homer, goal tonight aside). Much depends on how Modano would do on the wing I guess.

Whoops.

I'd rather see a streak of suckage in February than during the playoffs. I think it was due to guys playing more or in a different role due to the injuries.

Wings PK coming. Ericsson off for Ericssoning (tripping).

Not sure if Hudler is getting an assist on that but he'd deserve one. Drove to the net and drew both of tampas D on him, letting Dats cruise in and get the rebound in. Textbook offense overall, looking very good tonight.

Great job by Hudler to drive the net; both Dmen were tied up.

Perry, Lapierre and Ruutu all together like one big dysfunctional family.

Your new avatar makes me want to stab someone in the throat.

Yeah, and John McCain doesn't like visitors. BOOM!

EXACTLY!!! Yes, the core of Marios message was true... BUT, it was obviously just Mario whining and crying because things didn't go his way, like he has done his whole career, and now taught his little protege to do as well. Not him actually caring about the league or other players. Mario doesn't really give a s*** at all. As was pointed out before, HIS TEAM is the leader in both penalty minutes AND fighting. He has never said anything about that. HIS TEAM pays the dirtiest player in the NHL to go out game after game with one goal; injure other players. He doesn't say s*** about that or condemn that kind of play either. He could be expressing ways to change the game for the positive, with his influential voice, in league meetings. But nope... Mario doesn't give a s***, and doesn't even attend those. But now that his boys got their ass handed to them for once, NOW he is all up in arms and pretending to care about the league and other players... Lets call it what it is. Hypocritical bulls***.

I just hate how most of the talking heads in the media are once again toeing the company line (and yes, even though Lemieux was supposedly speaking against the league, all he was doing was bitching about the league not protecting his little ***** boys - do you honestly think he gives a s*** about Marc Savard or Alexander Ovechkin or anyone else in the league that isn't a Penguin?) and are slobbering all over themselves trying to agree with Lemieux. Even on ESPN yesterday (is the show "Around the Horn" or something?), 3 of the 4 guys were all "Lemieux's the best! Whatever he says is right! This is a tragedy, a tragedy!!!". If Lemieux wants to take his puck and go home, let him. Let him go and take Crosby with him. The league's better off without their whining, entitled attitudes.
