It's official, Wings will win. Barry Merose, ESPN.com: Boston in 6

Ideal ending to this year... Zetty handing the cup to Alfie.

Should be a good one tonight! Have to play with a lot of energy and play smart. We need a win early in this series to build on our confidence.

Because he's a whiny little *****. I love it. Watching Z play with him last year was practically porn. I thought he was gonna cry. But instead I cried. Because we lost. f*** you, jonathan toews.

Filter-Hey man nice shot!

I guess I wasn't the only one yelling "it was delay of game turds"

Penalty wasn't for the hit. Puck over glass immediately after the hit. Guys on nbc are boneheads and don't know what they're talking about.

I hope they win. Maybe then the NHL would take head injuries more seriously. How many times have we seen players give premeditated crosschecks to the head, and get a small slap on the wrist. Hell we've seen a player with concussion history have his helmet removed, and head slammed into the glass. We've even seen it with the helmet still on. It's time for the NHL to be proactive, and not wait until a career ending concussion happens from one of these actions.

C'mon Blues!!!!

Sorry guys, but our 1st and Almqvist is not going to get us a top pair Dman. Would you make that trade if you were the other GM? Of course not.

‘Twas The Night Before Playoffs ‘Twas the night before Playoffs and all through the Joe Not a player was skating, not fast and not slow. The jerseys were hung from the rafters with care Stevie, Sid, Gordie, Terry, Ted, Nick and Alex were there. The fans in Detroit were all snug in their beds, While Stanley Cup fever danced ‘round in their heads. Our young guns Tomas Tatar and Gustav Nyquist you see Would star in their dreams of what would soon be. Next day on the ice there would be such a clatter, That, for true fans of hockey, nothing else would matter. Away to the arena, we fly like a flash, (Unless we can’t get tickets, ‘cause we don’t have the cash). The laser light show on the freshly groomed ice Would light up the way as we welcome our guys! Then, what to our wondering eyes should appear? But the best of the NHL, at least so far this year. With Z as our Captain, and now Daniel Alfredsson Or Swedish lineup is second to none. More rapid than eagles, the players they came, And we whistled and shouted, and called them by name. “Now Kindl! Now Kronwall! Now, go, Kyle Quincey! On Datsyuk! On DeKeyser! And, now, Luke Glendening! Into the Playoffs! With the best of the League! There’s no turning back! There will be no fatigue!” “There’s Toman Jurco, Ryan Sproul, and Todd Bertuzzi David Legwand! Riley Sheahan! It makes us all woozy! Thanks to Petr Mrazek and Brendan Smith! We got to this point, this team knows no quit!” No rest for the weary, surely we’ll whelm! Here’s Franzen! And Ericsson! And now Darren Helm!! There’s Tootoo! and Andersson! and Jimmy in net. Drew Miller, Landon Ferraro, the best fourth line yet! They say we’re getting old, we know that’s not true We simply reload and reload, that’s what we do! With Lashoff and Abby and don’t forget Cory Our young guys can bring it, there’ll be no worry! As the Bruins and the Lightning and Penguins all cry, When they meet with the Wings, and their Stanley dreams die. As the Blackhawks do crumble and the Sharks meet with fate, The Blues and the Wild will just have to wait. Then, dressed up so nicely, in the best they could find, The coaches line up, with the trainers behind. There’s Renny, and Bill Peters, and head coach Mike Babcock And, on the bench, The Monster, our faithful back-up! We moved to the East We all had some fears Would we keep the streak alive? Yes! Now it’s 23 years!! Our eyes, how they twinkle! Our hearts are so merry! With Redmond to comment, or maybe Don Cherry. With a wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Mike soon had assured us we had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word; these guys know how to win To the Finals we go, we can do this again. They spring to the ice, as the referees whistle, In pursuit of the Cup they will fly like a missile. And the fans will exclaim, whether they lose or they win, “Go, Red Wings! We Love You! What a great year it’s been!” GO WINGS!!!

I got a sneaking suspision that there just saying that. And he will be back late in the first round. Just my thought tho

Really..? Thanks, Capt Obvious.. hahaha I was making a joke. It's all good. .

REQ: Since their nickname is "the B's".. I was thinking a cartoon bee with the B logo on it and a giant red fly swatter with the Wings logo or the Old English D logo in the mesh part..

OMG I'm holding you to this!

The other sports have rap... Lol

Iggy Pop and the Stooges: "Search and Destroy" or "Gimme Danger".

It is typical of around here....complain about reffing....non-stop, even when the Wings aren't playing. It does get pretty tiresome. I'll admit to not watching most of the game last night, but from what I saw, CBJ got away with taking a ton of liberties, there was definitely no favouritism going the Pens way from the little that I saw. From a pure stats perspective, CBJ took a grand total of 3 penalties during the game (yup, gotta be a conspiracy here). Pens took 4 penalties by the way, theirs were all well deserved of course. Can we be a bit more original around here (at least when the Wings aren't playing against them?)

I can't figure out what team I hate more. Columbus or Pens.
