2001 just called and asked for its Todd Bertuzzi back.

Smith blocked the shot, but that's not contributing anything? I'll be done with it when you stop lecturing people here about giving up on the team while you scapegoat the player or two you've deemed acceptable to blame for everything.

Stupid Howard. Should have fallen down and grabbed his head as soon as the rush was coming.

That "no goal" was the sign that they were losing this game. What a joke.

That's a weak call for a penalty shot. Smith was right with him.. He wasn't clear of Smith.

I forgot Mike Smith likes to wander out to play the puck. Just don't come near him though or he'll flop like a Canuck.

Verify range to target. One PING only...

I'm sure that if she forgot to bring something to dump on him that she also forgot to bring her magnifying glass.

Getting ready to head over to Westgate. Catch y'all on the flip side! Oh, who am I kidding. I'm totally going to post from the game. LGW! Edit: I'm here now. There is someone up in one of the suites who from far away looks very much like Bettman. I know it's probably not, but I can't fight the regret that I didn't try to smuggle in something nasty to dump on him...

And that diving piece of s*** Smith scores an empty netter.... Bettman just came all over himself.

Don't ever go out with that girl again.

On the bright side: the Leafs lost tonight, so we're still tied with them for first in the Atlantic, I believe. Almqvist.

Jesus... So the Wings start out with a 2-0 lead and then give up four straight goals against. The Griffins have a 4-2 lead with less than 4 minutes to go in the 3rd and then end up losing in the shootout 5-4 And now the Tigers too?!?!?!

I can't imagine how my confidence would be shaken if the coach preferred Sammy and Cleary over me. It'd be like seeing a girl you're crazy about dating a crackhead over you.

Quincey is useless offensively. His numbers since we traded that top pick for him are pathetic.

I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised about bad officiating in this game. It's the Coyotes, Gary Bettman's baby, and we're the Red Wings. And a mere two games means it's way easy to - zomg! - sweep the "season series." Hockey in Glendale: it works! Hurray! Conspiracy theory? Maybe. But don't act like you weren't thinking it.

OH hey, now that we're down by two, they'll give us a PP...

Bad pinch but a good shot by Vermette. The sell job by Smith looms much larger now with that goal being called off.

If these idiots get a 5 on 3 at any point in this game, with sustained pressure, Howard should immediately fall down and grab his head.

Indeed.

Smack him with an octopus.

Pretty much this. I mean I knew Alfie can produce,but he has a determination and poise like a much younger player.

You're going on eight games. I and others have already brought up the adjustment angle - a decade in a completely different system, completely different team and organization and all that stuff. But, again, he was very good as a Panther. How many Panthers games have you caught over the past ten years or so? Because I've seen my fair share (I like them. Not exactly a fan, but I do like them. If that makes any sense), and I feel totally justified in saying Weiss was a great add. He just needs time. Almost any guy in his situation would.

Agreed. Secretly I'm hoping the Rangers lose the rest of their games this season and we somehow get Callahan and Girardi in the offseason. I'm a dreamer.
