I wonder what he would say if Kane or Toews did the same thing Yakupov did?

Nationally televised game...one goal lead...manufactured drama. Whatever.

"Not sure what Datsyuk was doing there...." face.palm.groan.

Get er done, Kenny?

Bring back Gary Thorne and Bill "Hands of Cement" Clemente!!!

I think the quote should have been along the lines of "Listen kids, this is the best way to be a ****** baggy homer announcer" followed with something about subtle interference & active sticks.

What Ed should have said was: "Carcillo should be more careful when throwing a body check, he needs to pick his spots and pick them well because he has to know if someone sees him coming, they are going to try to get out of the way, which could result in Carcillo flying over Nail's shoulder and smacking his head or hurting his neck. And that's what could have happened here...." The straw that broke it for me is when he said that Yakapov should get a penalty for ducking out of the way....what an idiot.

This is the only thing I've ever seen you post that I disagree with. I like "...a DRIVE...". Like the enthusiasm, especially after having to listen to Major Homers Greg Husum and John Shorty Shorthouse all the time. I wish I could hit "ignore" on my Yamaha sound system for Olczk, though.

To bad the force is not strong in this one. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/blog/eye-on-hockey/21773710/photo-ilya-bryzgalov-has-a-new-incredible-star-wars-mask

I like that Tootoo looked back to see if anyone was jumping Emmerton. It's a little thing, but I love having that on the team.

Yahhhhhh. Emdog smackola!

Big E is clearly becoming a shut down defenseman.

While I love those lines....a lot....I can't wait for Helm to come back and imagine the fun we can have with a top 9 barring further injuries. Brunner-Z-Flip Tatar-Dats-Franzen Nyquist-Helm-Bertuzzi 3rd line would have to be the Robaxacet line. Hope Helm and Tuzzi get better soon.

They did win the Cup last year.. And it's better than listening to doc and eddy, that's for sure.

great hustle by Tootoo to cause that goal

Milbury says some dumb stuff, but I best remember him as the only guy on the NBC roster who is willing to criticize Crosby.

Can't wait to see Magic and Isiah go head-to-head again.

Glad you are not the gm. Your numbers are off. And letting Howard walk? Pure stupidity. Also you think Brunner only wants 2m?

I like "Doc." "Eddie," not so much.

Minnesota is going to regret those gigantic contracts.

You're very welcome. I agree, should've had a link in the OP. I also agree that trading Franzen shouldn't be on Kenny's mind. Finding a top-tier, two-way defenseman and a reliable scorer is what should be occupying his time. Shopping Franzen or Filpulla or whatever other nonsense the media had dreamed up would be going straight into seller mode. This is NOT the time to become a seller. There is real talent on this team and they have proven they can win against the best even with a depleted lineup. We own wins against St. Louis, Nashville and Vancouver and have also taken Chicago to OT. This team needs a full, healthy roster and some more firepower both up front and on the back end. Giving up now would be foolish.

Gary and Bill were awesome. Some people gave them crap, but man they were really good. I miss hearing them together as well. They were on in an interview together on NHL Home Ice Radio last year and Gary said the main reason he isn't doing hockey is his contract with ESPN. He gets paid very well there and the NBC Sports Network (or Versus) could never match it. Still, he missed calling hockey, especially the playoffs which he believes is the best postseason of any professional sport.

I want to see the team that beat Vancouver. That's the Wings I want to see. How about another 8-3? Wings: Z, Kronner, Miller, PattySunshine, Toots, and Pasha with the curly fries. Kings: Kopitar x 3

I agree, and that's why I think that Tatar should be with Datsyuk and either Cleary or Abby. Tatar likes to shoot, and has good finishing abilities.
