No Ericsson? What a shame.

He wasn't bad tonight at all. Also, if anyone is wondering, Nyquist is a beast. Secondly, Hudler had a horrible game. I have zero hope for him. If we can't get Nyquist on the team, give him Hudler's spot and get rid of Hudler. Sorry Eva. Also also, I thought Filppula was a beast tonight, despite the fact he didn't have any points. Although in his defense, he had to play with Hudler a lot.

I'm changing it up a bit this season and NOT going with a monthly "featured" player (at least for this month, depending on feedback). Oftentimes the addition of a player messes with the layout when adjusting for other aspect ratios, or I have a rough time finding a nice, high-resolution picture to use. I hope you like this year's edition! Widescreen: 1920x1200 | 1920x1080 | 1680x1050 |1440x900 | 1366x768 | 1280x800 4:3: 1600x1200 | 1400x1050 | 1280x960 | 1280x1024 Enjoy!

Filppula was amazing tonight. He was everywhere. Really sound I thought in the defensive end and had some flashy moves in the offensive zone. Hudler was useless as always. I agree get rid of him. Any updates on Eaves?

I guess you're right. It bugs me that it bugs me. I can't but shake my head for the thought that one the all time best players is called Teemu Salami. They're just skating in circles. Regular season, please.

I love Nyquist but yes definitely want him to get time in GR with a bigger role as the season goes on.

At least he has a good agent.

I understand the Wings' philosophy in developing prospects, but there comes a point where you have to consider putting a prospect on your team because he makes the team better. Even if he's not as ready as he's going to be, I really think Nyquist would help this team with depth scoring.

Gordie Howe Arena... Please.

Agree. I don't agree with all/many of the suspensions, but Shanahan has been consistent.

He says that Bertuzzi isn't physical enough to be on a checking line, then he puts Hudler on.........you guessed it, a checking line.

At this point I am praying for Little Ceasers Pavilion/Palace over the dreaded Amway Arena.

His goal last night made my pants move a little bit.

Hockey starting to turn into Ice Basketball! esteef

Thank you. Such a great sign of things to come!

Just another monstrosity the NHL wants to sell to the fans. I think the bigger insult is they are charging 160 bucks for a non authentic jersey with screen-printed numbers.

A game or two higher then I thought but not bad. Shannys making sure people are paying attention thats for sure...How long until the Averys and Cookes are sticking there heads out on purpose during hits?

I just pee'd in my pant's a little....I think if Flip is playing Z and Mule or Dats which I really like last year, he will come up as being one of the better "all around" players. He is great defensivley, fantastic playmaker, he has hands and his shot look's pretty nice at time's this year as well. I have a feeling he's pulling it out this year...

Nice op lol I thought it was for real until I saw it was you. Had me fooled for sure.

Sorry dude.

Gold Jerry.

Pretty much spot on. I dislike Crosby like pretty much everybody else in here but this is beyond stupid what I am seeing in here, like Crosby could've predicted that this tragedy could have happened on the same day of this scheduled conference and that Crosby is going to act all self-righteous saying look at me I'm cool and not talking about the tragic deaths. All this goes to show is how people's pettiness towards him in here is just absurdly off the deep end. 1. Crosby had no clue this would also happen on the same day. 2. While the wait one day to have this conference in consideration like some suggested is nice and theory and I can roll with this thought, this press conference was going to go on as scheduled unless something unforseen happened wherever Crosby or this press conference was. I don't see the big deal or how overly inconsiderate this is. 3. If they wanted to have a press conference, let them have one for f**k sake, Sidney Crosby/"famous person we like"/"famous person we don't like" or not. Given that Crosby is one of the main faces of the Pitt franchise whether we like it or not or whether we think that is fair or not, he is just that and given that he's been out for a long while, an update such as this doesn't hurt anybody. This is not the NYC Macy's Day Thanksgiving parade we are talking about here. 4. As much I think Crosby is a fuzznut, he's not stupid enough to be all LOOK AT ME and not for one minute not recognize the tragedy going on in Russia. The tragedy in Russia and the Crosby bit are two completely separate things, one all about the tragedy and one all about Crosby/Pitt. Let them be that way. I have little doubt that Pitt and Crosby realize the tragedies and gave them their fair respects. That's not what their conference was about though, and people in here need to quit making it out like it needed to be a huge part of their conference (or a part of it more than necessary). Happy now?

I am no fan, but Crosby is already a sure-fire Hall of Famer, even if he never plays another game.

That's sad news. I dislike Crosby (Hate the Pens) as much as the next guy, but he is undeniably one of the most gifted players in the game. I always really thought he would mature as he got older and become an Yzerman,Sakic, Lidstrom type of personality. People often forget just how young he is, 24 or 25. I'm sure we were all such gentleman at that age. Ryan
