And who are you to proclaim this? I'll gloat about other teams being eliminated as much as I please.

You realize we choked out too, right? ... Stop making us look stupid.

Luongo to NY Islanders. (e5)

2 Girls No Cup ^^^

Your point might make sense if we were the guys out on the ice. But we aren't. This doesn't make any sense to me. This doesn't make sense either. On a side note, saying that the Sharks lasted longer in the playoffs than the Wings is silly; they were in the playoffs one night longer because their series opened one night later.

Thats a very arbitrary remark. I look at it no different than Bab's assessment: Two teams who lost a series 4-1 and are out of the playoffs in the first round. Neither team should be considered an "elite" playoff team. Their stars didnt play any better than our stars. Their bottom 2 lines played like ours. I dont see to much difference between them.

Technically, we weren't a favorite, let alone the top seed.

If Lidström comes back for another year this organization owes him the chance for another cup. I am really glad Babcock is putting pressure on the management there are no excuses this time: we have the money, we need new top end blood. f*** retools, rebuilds we just reload!

Because he had a dog-s*** year and still had 21 goals. And has a 40 goal ceiling. And because Datsyuk needs someone to slap around.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and say "no". Nothing locked up for the Penguins but their tee times tomorrow.

People are allowed to be happy at rivals misfortunes. Lighten up you gloomy f***ers.

yeah, going by his logic would mean that we shouldn't have been happy about any team being eliminated since '08.

Nashville has done nothing spectacular in this series offensively. Only reason they can score on their chances and we can't score on ours, is that their chances are better and easier. Reason for that is the mistakes. Nashville isn't making the defensive mistakes we are. How many chances have we had in this series like that Radulov one? I can't think of many.

Each is terrifying in its own way.

But look how many goals Hudler and Franzen produce. They're practically snipers! esteef

I've been thinking since the 2009 final the League is fixed by Bettman. Bettman's only interested in saving his bankrupt markets and doing away with dynasties so his horrible CBA looks good. Every year since our last Cup there's something questionable going on. 2009 Malkin wasn't suspended for starting a fight with less than 2 minutes, 2010 the Sharks weren't called for diving, 2011 Bettman tried to do away with our Octopus tradition by not allowing Al swing them over his head, now 2012 Weber wasn't suspended. With the Wings and Pens eliminated, and the Canucks, Bruins, Black Hawks, and Rangers on the brink, I'm hoping the TV ratings for the next 3 rounds of the playoffs are horrible. I have a feeling with the NBC Sports Network now showing games, they'll tell Bettman to smarten up and have his best teams advance, or else they won't show games anymore. NBC isn't interested in saving Phoenix or Nashville from bankruptcy, they want Detroit, Chicago, New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, etc. deep in the playoffs so they can make money selling ad space.

Yeah.....eventually every team except one will be eliminated!! Bwahahahahah. Oh....wait, that will be the Cup champ.......and the Wings will still have been the first team eliminated. This is pointless.

Who cares if people are glad that the Sharks lost? I hate the Sharks, I don't respect the way they play hockey and yes I have sour grapes about the last two years. I would rather celebrate them going home early then deal with the potential of watching those douches skate around the Shark Tank with the Cup. Misery loves company.

Easily the Hudler one. Lidstrom will eventually retire. If not this season, than next. Lilja I would welcome of course. Guy won us the Cup with his manhood. Wouldn't want Vancouver to win, but I expected that this season. Holland's statement wouldn't surprise me. It's what we've come to expect from him.

I'm sure a lot of players will sign with their current team, but it's nice to see who's out there and what their cap hit is. Thanks for posting. I want that Lidstrom guy.

Mike's been calling Ken out the whole season,Brett Burns,Smith,toughness,depth,physical play...but some of us simply didn't read between the lines I really hope this pretty honest press conference would stop "fire Babcock" calls

Lidstrom disinterested? Wow that's a dumb observation. The guy was getting cortisone injections before games. He was basically playing with 1 leg. He was clearly hampered and far from 100%. I think Parise is a very real option. Suter is gonna get $8 million/year from someone. If Lidstrom returns, which I don't believe he will, Holland needs to get realistic and offer him a $2 million base. This $6-7 mill/year BS is only hurting the club. What were Zach's recent comments on the Wings? Just curious as I hadn't heard them.

Probably maybe Boston again. I like Bergeron.

Go Kings Go. And I'm rooting against Pittsburgh.
