I couldn't sleep :

Spraying the goalie

Bottled Lightning

Yes! Thanks for doing this again. Either charity is fine, although I tend to lean towards children's hospitals. There is no wrong answer if the money is going towards a good cause. I'm going with the hamster bet again. And, again, I'll keep track in my sig because it would be impossible otherwise. $1 for each goal scored by a Wing after whom I've named a hamster (must still play for the Wings, sorry Filppula). An additional $1 if the above-mentioned goal scored is a GWG. An additional $5 if it is a GWG in a series-winning game. An additional $50 if it is the GWG that wins us the Cup. $5 for each time a goalie after whom I've named a hamster prevents all opposing shots from going in the net. The hamsters names are as follows (current Wings in red) Henrik Pavel Tomas Nicklas Dominik Niklas Matthieu Daniel Robert Johan Andreas Valtteri Jonathan Andrew (Drew) Patrick Ian Todd Jordin Damien Gustav James Go Wings!

No need to flaunt your wealth, a hole.

Yes, it's our favorite time of year, folks! For those of you who know how this works, pledge early and often. For those of you who don't, those who want to participate figure out some kind of financial pledge having to do with the Wings playoff performance. Some pledge a buck a goal for certain players, some pledge per win, per series, per shutout, or any combination. Get creative! Don't get too complicated though, because it gets hard to keep of. Post your pledge here so we can shamelessly "plus" your post. When it's not possible to add any more to the kitty, everyone Paypals me their total and I make a donation. Now, all but one year we have donated to Children's Hospital. I'm fine if everyone wants to keep it that way, but I'd like to suggest we send this season's donation to a local charity started by a 12-year-old when he was 9. He spends every single Saturday feeding the homeless in Detroit. I've been following him on Facebook for quite a while now and he's starting to get a lot of press. All signs point to this being a legit charity. Check out the Eimers Foundation here and here. When you pledge, vote for either Children's Hospital or the Eimers Foundation; both are worthy recipients, so I certainly won't be offended either way. LGLGW!!

YES I LOVE THESE IT IS OFFICIALLY PLAYOFF TIME *coughyzermanshouldbeofflimitscough*

Not to dump cold water on this, but they missed an opportunity to name it Ice Bracket Challenge.

Is there an application I can fill out for the vacant GM position in Toronto? Afraid I may be overqualified though.

I'm just waiting for FlashyG's contribution.

Zetterberg. Leads team in points. 2014-15. Is healthy for almost a full season. 77 games played. When asked by reporters last night to respond to 'genius-best-coach-ever' coach's comments about "not thinking the team was a playoff team" back on July 5th said, with a grin, "you should have asked me because I thought we were a playoff team back in July" Yep. Complete fail. What a loser.

It could also mean that he wanted to give Howard, his starter, extra rest before the playoffs started or that much less chance of getting injured. Or that he wanted to get one last look at Mrazek to help decide. It's going to be Howard though, there is no doubt. Mrazek getting a shut on in the last game of the regular season against one of the worst teams really doesn't mean all that much.

especially to make it a 5-on-3 in the third period in a game that had massive playoff implications for one team.

And now that #24 has been clinched I think we can finally answer the question, NO we shouldn't tank the season!

This is beyond depressing here. 24 straight years in the playoffs. I'm gonna try to enjoy that by not reading anything else here because 29 other teams would kill to be a fan of that first sentence.
