I like your new avatar! Just got to the board to start reading all the goodies! (pant, pant...cough, cough)

I just added $1 for every multi-goal game Franzen has. ANYthing to get him going!

Do you make a living doing this kind of wondrous thing? If not, WHY not?! Your work is a perfect example of ART that has meaning and actually moving people who view it.

If the Bolts keep playing the way they are, methinks Crosby just might make a miraculous recovery. I would not put it past them to just be resting him. GO, BOLTS!!!

I've seen one or two things in these threads that were maybe worse.

I'm still watching with about 13 minutes to go. Kings are looking just fine, thankyouverymuch. I hope they win. It would indeed be huge if they could win without Kopitar.

I loved what Panger or Whoever said about Chara "sending a message" for the next game (as he sat on the guy and tried to pound him into the ice). I've never quite figured out what that means at that point in the game. If you want to send a message, wouldn't you do it during a game? Like play the best you know how? I didn't get to watch most of it but he did NOT look all that hot in the 3rd period. I'm still rooting for the Bruins because Thomas seems like a nice guy and a great goalie. Not much logic, but there you are.

GREAT photos! This kind of offering is the next best thing to being there. Thanks for taking the time. But next time see if you can some sound, OK? You bring up another great point about that game. Not only did they cut down the cutesy passing, they played with amazing aggression and fire (OK, in the 2nd and 3rd periods). And the topper is that the crowd was fantastic and supported them 100%. Couldn't hurt to keep that wonderful little psychological circle unbroken!

This peep in Texas is rooting for them too!

Doesn't probably need them. He uses his butt more. And he doesn't need 'em there either.

"It was like I planned before the game — throw everything at the net and try to jam it," Datsyuk said. "Good things happen when you shoot a lot. After we scored once, we took control." From The Detroit News: http://detnews.com/article/20110414/OPINION03/104140410/Wings-give-Coyotes-a-Pavel-pummeling-in-Game-1#ixzz1JW3p0ENC I do believe this is the main reason why the Wings won the game. Very little cutesy passing in the offensive zone. JUST SHOOT AT THE DAMN NET. And jamming and screening doesn't hurt either.

(Doan) actually had about 8 hits - maybe more, according to Doc. He was a crazy man out there. But for all his efforts he's probably gonna have to ice down after the game.

Rob Blake did it his whole career. In fact he probably has an extra crack in his butt from all the board hits he gave other players.

In the second and third periods, yes.it.was.

Wowza! You did good, Namingway! Even two out of four on who got 'em. Congrats!

Yandle may be good but he's a piece-of-s***-diver/flopper and should have been called, not only for that but for grabbing onto Helm while his little friend elbowed Helm in the head. Other than that, I'm off to choir practice. GO, WINGS!!!!!

I don't know crap about how to do this kind of thing, but I DO know this rendering is classic stuff. THANK YOU for your efforts and your willingness to share your talent(s).

This is hilarious! Thanks for the guffaws!

Tell ya the truth, me likey.

If you're referring to the verbal exchange between the two of us as involving "satire", then no. I certainly must not. Yeah. My bad. I hope you have a nice day/week/month/year/whatever.

I want it to go seven games. I don't care who wins. I want them to beat the s*** out of each other and for Perry to be made a fool of. At least once. However all that happens is just fine by me.

Whoa! Wow! I can't stand him either but it comes pretty much as a shock. I didn't think they did all that badly.

So much for selective reading. Somehow you missed the part about me NOT MAKING FUN OF YOUR POST. I saw the three names and it just struck me as funny. And obviously, I'm going to have to live with that the rest of my life.

Great work, guys! Thanks for taking the time to put it together!
