I had to record the game and watch it later, so I had to make the choice bewteen Wings announcers in standard def, or the ducks guys in HD. I figured it couldn't be that bad, so I chose the HD ducks feed. I chose....unwisely. I didn't mind the homerism that much, you have to expect it. It was the mispronouncing of Hudler and Kopecky's names that really bugged me. Your professionals, do your home work. Also can't stand it when announcers get their facts wrong. They said the wings have been to overtime twice this season, both going to shoot outs. Apparently they forgot about the OT loss to Vancouver. Hard to blame them I guess. I wanted to forget that game to. Although I thoroughly enjoyed Selanne crying after about the waived off goal. What a little girl.

Yes, He'll make the Hall of Fame, and don't call me Shirley.

he said "sorry I'm a little whiney *****, now will you please let me score? Bettman said I could, they promised."

I don't understand the golf pictures. won't both teams be playing golf when the series is over?

1070.3 on the gory version

Here's the link. This is funny. Apparently we'll need our Wings fans behind enemy lines to purchase it for us. Though I doubt this is the only fish market in Pittsburgh, right? http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=3409330

Actually, hope is coming for Dish offering locals. I've been screwed for a long time with Dish and not getting locals in HD. that changed about 2 weeks ago. they came out and added a second dish to my roof, (not thrilled about that, but whatever). Now I get locals in HD and it's awesome. Really hard to watch it in standard def now. HD is a beautiful thing.

Someone asked for this, so I'd thought I'd give it a shot. I also borrowed the scope logo that someone created because it was awesome and fit really well.

I thought I was the only fan having to do this. Sadly, I'll have to do this for Game 1, 2, and 4. I've put my stars fan friend on notice, there will be no texting of scores or any news about the game until I contact him after I watch it. It's funny, my wife and I get home from work, I go watch the game on the DVR, she looks it up on the net since she can't stand not knowing. Fortunately, we'll get to see game 3 live and in person. Come on Wings, 60 minutes of hockey tonight. Light em up. Go Wings!

" Franzen has turned Detroit’s second line into a top priority for opponents, but he insisted teams will still focus on the top forwards: Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg and Tomas Holmstrom." Dear God, Please let the other team not focus or pay attention to the ZDH line. Then the series will be over very quickly.

Damn it, Damn it, we're screwed. We have no chance now. Melrose picked us to win this series. DAMN IT!!!!! http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs2008...tory?id=3383942

Damn right about Sammy. Kept watching and waiting for him to suck. Nope, not this time. He's played pretty well. Even put shots on net, forechecked well, fed Franzen properly. Got to give the man credit. Lilja on the other hand. *Sigh*

Actually Philly fans should be near suicidal. Melrose said Biron was the best goalie left in the playoffs. Cue the Human Sieve theme... Back to the topic, please let him pick the stars win, please, please.

Awesome. just sweet talked to wife into letting me buy game 3 tickets. Awesome, my first playoff hockey game in person. Hopefully, we're up 2-0 when I go to the game. Going to be a tough series. I think we take them in 6 games.

wow, I sucked in R2. Here's hoping for a better number 3. DET/DAL: 4-2 PIT/PHI: 4-2
