They both had the same middle name?! There's a fun fact!

http://freeredwings.tv Now you don't have to use the Pittsburgh feed.

The refs are trying hard to appease Bettman. Should have been the pens getting a penalty there

ughh, penguins feed on center ice, shoot me

I feel bad for Commodore. He's never really had a chance due to his preseason injury coupled with never playing more than the odd game so far. Unless there's an injury on defence it doesn't seem like he's gonna play. What's the plan then? Waive him? Minors? Conditioning stint? Personally, I'd like to throw the idea out of rotating him in as a 4th line forward every now and then. Get him to use his size, bang some bodies and crash the net. It might not be ideal, but it'll at least help get him into game shape so he's able to play some games on D if needed. Rotating him with Miller/Emmerton/Connor until Mursak returns would be a possible solution. Just think it's a shame seeing him as a healthy scratch every game without getting a proper chance. I think if he was waived someone would claim him. Detroit wasn't the only offer he had in the offseason. Just seems a waste.

They will go from game against winnipeg to just a morning skate and then straight to game against pittsburgh, are they so pleased with the play so they let them get extra r(u)st? Sounds like a bad plan to me...

Love Bert throwing his weight around before that, too.

Phew, who needs crysbybitchboy on your team when you have the refs?

Well, hope Fleury is enjoying his shutout. Oops, didn't mean to jinx him or anything.

Called in sick today. Go Wings. Kick some butt! No, wait. With the Pens, butts are considered head shots. Ok then, Go Wings! Score lots of goals!

In addition to everything thats already been said, the league needs to mandate better head protection for the players - there's much better technology out there (arguably) - who cares what it looks like. Anythings better then having drool wiped from your chin at 45 years old. Point is, the NHL needs to get in front of this thing before major media does otherwise it could be game over (as we know and love it)

I can hear the Penguin fans' excuses already. As for the Wings... there are no excuses. Destroy whatever is out there for the Penguins tonight, please?

You must not have ever watched Yzerman, Gretzky, Messier, Lindros, Fedorov, Chelios, Roenick, Zetterberg etc... play. The best players complain the most because when they are out-skilling people and they cheat by holding, slashing, etc it bothers them.

Let's get a win for my birthday!!!!

Here is a HNIC-esque preview I made for the game tonight. LGW!

He runs around stirring up s*** after a very serious injury. Plays like he's untouchable. Then is surprised when he gets is dished back. Great player. Seriously immature. Butt-punchin cowgirl. Sit down sissy-boy. And eat some s***.

I know you are all going to hate me for this, but I really don't give a rat's ass. If it were most any other player, I might care.

The day after voting started I voted for my boy jimmy the allotted 30 votes....I know he could use the rest but the fact he wasn't thought of is f***ed up to me...

Pretty sad isn't it? As if so many players perenially get injured in the ASG. How are our superstars any more precious than other teams, who routinely send their best players if they're healthy? I agree the game has many flaws, but it's still special to these players and to the fans who want to see the event or attend it.

Don't worry I did too.

I'll probably get 'negged for this, but I feel bad for the guy. Doesn't get recognized by the NHL as an all-star caliber goalie and then he has his own fanbase deciding that he needs to rest rather than be an all-star. While I agree that he could use the rest, I think he's still young enough to be given an opportunity to enjoy himself at an all-star event and not effect his game in a negative way. Based on that link above, he seems pretty excited at the opportunity and his friends (I will go ahead and assume family too) sound just as excited as he is. Yet here we are, from the couches in our living room, deciding that he needs to rest rather than having an opportunity at a fun weekend . I voted for him.

Thanks! Woot Bert! Good start!! :siren:

Glad Flip is back, hopefully it is enough to end our 2-game skid. LGW!

I might have to agree with Mr. -49, I dont think Helm will ever win a Selke.
