Just saw this on youtube, felt it was appropriate on the eve of the playoffs getting going. (Not for us but...whatever) Shawn Burr was a hell of a hitter in the early 90's, and Vladdy was a ******* beast. Damn shame we didn't get to see more of his playoff hits.

Also I will pay the plus minus in dollars of Jurco Tatar and Sheahan combined

Don't know if this has already been posted but I just read this great actricle on the wings. Makes me super proud to be a wings fan and a great overall story of how this season how gone. http://grantland.com/features/detroit-red-wings-playoff-streak/

This is awesome. "When all else fails, why NOT support a historic franchise with excellent coaching, solid young player development, and consistently sane management"? Yes: Detroit. No: Philadelphia. Truer words were never spoken.

Hope to see a lot of this:

http://kuklaskorner.com/a2y/comments/expectation-management I love being an 8 seed. I love the playoffs. I love hockey. I love the Detroit Red Wings.

Too many threads, so just putting this in here. Have folks seen this:

5 dollars per win and 1 dollar per Tatar goal. 20 dollars per Jimmy shutout

As always, I'm sticking to $10 per Kronwalling. I will also add $1 per goal for our youngsters, including: -Nyquist -Tatar -Jurco -Sheahan -Glendending (MULTIPLIER x2) -Andersson -Dekeyser And just in case these guys get in some games: -Pulkkinen -Ouellet -Sproul

I think our 3rd and 4th lines will provide a spark for us. But with Z out Franzen has to step up. I don't like the way our D matches up but if these kids gain confidence early I like our chances. I am going to say Wings in 7.

I don't care what Roy has done, he's still a ****** bag.

I like it. To be the best you have to beat the best. If this team can get past the big bad Bruins, they just might become unstoppable.

WTF happened to Amonte? Geez dude, it looks like you just rolled out of bed, had a dozen doughnuts and a gallon of milk....

He would have gotten more on the market. $10 says they try to trade him in the next 2 years.

Team speed and a youthful ignorance to the fact that Boston is 10x better than us. Guys like Tatar, Jurco, Smith actually believe if they play fast and hard they can win. Combine that with the fact that all the pressure is on Boston to not lose and none is really on us since we're not supposed to win, and these kids just might be right.

Also Ericsson was a complete chud before going down with injury. With smith and Kronwall as our #1 pairing we're a hell of a lot more dynamic and threatening and we move the puck up ice a lot better. Smith has been a stand out player for us and I think he will thrive on the big stage and we can have a pairing that are actually a threat to score. Ericsson returning from injury will be nice only because we can replace Lashoff who is terrible with someone that can log a lot of responsible minutes. That's Ericsson game. Either he's locked down defensively or he's running around trying to do too much and not much help on either end of the ice

The f***?

The amount doesn't matter - every little bit helps and you'd be surprised how quickly all our donations together add up. You'd also be surprised at how much more fun it makes the games. Thanks so much to those of you who donate and those who support us, the Wings and Children's Hospital in spirit.

I refuse to root for a team who plays cheap hockey and takes pot shots physically at players for no good reason (see Columbus - Comeau and others). Thus I hate both teams equally. I hope they beat each other into the ground.

Well I'll give this a try but I can't pledge much at all because I just graduated college in December and paying off loans is expensive. Justin Abdelkader is my favorite player so I'll make it all based on his performance. $1.00 dollar for every Abby assist $2.00 for every Abby goal ($5.00 if it's a GWG) $0.25 for every Abby hit $1.00 based on his +/- at the end of the playoffs at a $1 for every +1 ratio. (If he ends in the "-" then I guess the Children's hospital owes me money)

I appreciate the improvement that Q made over this last stretch. He didn't suck as much, and I found myself saying GODDAMMIT QUINCEY much less. And good luck on his journey to another team next season. Wish you all the best Q! Sayonara!

go kings!!

I hear the five hole can be exploited.

Only way I would trade Datsyuk to LA would be for Alex Frolov straight up. Doesn't help us this year but Frolov is going to be great.
