Now for the second favorite part of the season - Money on the Board. For those who know how it works, pledge up! For those that don't know how it works, each participant decides what they would like to pledge for the Wings run in the playoffs. It could be 50 cents per goal, it could be 5 bucks per game won, it could be a penny for each hit; our members get very creative! I just pledge a dollar amount per series win. I'm boring. You are responsible for keeping track of how much your donation is. A lot of people keep track in their signatures. It's a lot of fun. Once there is no possible way to add money to the pot, everyone PayPals their donation to me and I send it on to Children's Hospital. I then receive a very nice thank-you note, which I post here. You can do a board search for previous Money on the Board threads to see how it all works and maybe get some pledging ideas. Here's hoping we have TONS o' cash to send off to the kiddies this year. GO WINGS!!

Obscure Breaking Bad reference with creepy Rask doing euro-karaoke.

I hear the five hole can be exploited.

I'm sure someone will be along soon enough with the end of season grades, but in the meantime, here's your chance to vote for your MVP. Now, before you all rush off and vote for Nyquist, let me remind you of two things. One, the season began in October, not after the Winter Olympics. Two, a win in October is worth 2 points, just like a win in March. Right, onto the options 1) Daniel Alfredsson. 68GP, 18-31-49, +2. Joint top scorer. 2) Niklas Kronwall. 79GP, 8-41-49, Even. Joint top scorer, 10th in league scoring by defenceman. 3) Gustav Nyquist. 57GP, 28-20-48, +16 4) Henrik Zetterberg. 45GP, 16-32-48, +19. 2nd in league scoring before his back issues first flared up. 5) Jimmy Howard. 21-19-11, 2.66 GAA, 0.910 SV% 6) Jonas Gustavsson. 16-5-4, 2.63 GAA, 0.907 SV% Now obviously Nyquist is going to be the popular vote for what he did down the stretch, but we have to remember that Zetterberg was in beast mode before Christmas. Remember when he (with Z and Alfie) was our only offence, and if they didn't have 3 point nights, we didn't win? However, for me, the MVP has to be Kronwall. Through all the injuries to the captain, and every other Alternate to boot, he has become the de facto leader of this team. In the locker room, in front of the media, and on the ice, Kronner has been front and center. He's had a great year offensively, and for all the hate about his defensive play was still even.

New Uniforms for the playoffs

And this only seems appropriate.

If you think back to the whole season it's Zetterberg, for all the reasons Nev stated. Nyquist is a very close second, also for all the reasons Nev stated. He got crazy hot for two and a half months, but that isn't the same as being the team's MVP to me. A honorary mention to Dekeyser. Where would our defense be had this kid not fallen into Detroit's lap?

Surprisingly entertaining for a meaningless game. Playing one decent game against a floundering Blues team does not necessarily equal a Hall of Fame career. Always such a pleasure to listen to Dave Strader call a game. Ken Daniels isn't bad, but Strader is just so smooth and professional and doesn't fall back on a lot of the silly clichés. Dave and Mickey were the best.

$5 for every game won $5 for every Kronwalling $5 for every Glendening goal $1 for every PP goal (my bunghole demands it)

1$ for every shortie 2$ for every goal by both Zetterberg or Datsyuk 2$ for a Spartan goal by either Miller or Abdelkader 5$ for every win 5$ for a shutout by Howard or Monster 50$ if they win the cup AND $10 for EVERY.......... Goal by Brendan Smith

I wasn't expecting this to be up so soon, i'm unprepared! My first offering of many as the series goes on and I rattle some ideas through my head. Just wanted to break the ice on the first page of the Photoshop War.

No question Mrazek should be the backup next year

this guy will hopefully play a big role

Yeah they were ninth in the league after their california trip I think and then they lost 11 out of 13 and fell to 22nd place

Like people mentioned Sindy can win all the trophies, stanley cups, be rich as hell and having an unbelievable beautfiful girlfriend at the end of the day he sometimes acts like a spoiled little brat if things aren't going his way. Boy would I love seeing him do that s*** against Backes or even better Colton Orr... He is the best player in the world why do you have to use such low tactics ?!
