    Filppula, second line center?

    I think it's a good move. Filpulla could become a really good player with time. So could Hudler.

    I use GIMP, it's an open source Photoshop clone. One tool that's very useful for cutting things out of images is the paths tool. It lets you draw a line around an objectt, then you can adjust the line to fit the curves of the object. It takes some time. GIMP 2.4 (the next major release) is supposed to have a more advanced tool which would let you draw a line around the object, then it will fit the curves to the object for you. GIMP is free and you can download it at Gimp.org

    I just read that thread about Bernie, and somebody needs to recreate his Wikiepedia page. Bernie deserves to be remembered for all time.

    POST GAME - Game 1 (4/26) SJ 2 DET 0

    At least the Wings had more shots than the Sharks, but I expected that anyway. Their first period play was awful. The second and third period were decent. I thought we would get a goal sometime but it just didn't happen. The Sharks' defense did a very good job preventing high-quality scoring chances. Better luck next game

    Great job on the Cheech and Chong, Octopussy and Wing Kong guys. I'm open to suggestions if anyone wants to see something.

    Somebody did one in the Calgary photoshop thread. It had Datsyuk and Zetterberg in it.

    The first thing I though of when I heard about the "Red Wave" campaign was the Soviet Union and communism. I don't think it's the best slogan they could have come up with.

    Pre-GAME 1 (4/26): Sharks @ Red Wings - 7:30 PM ET

    Congratulations on getting through another year. My exams are next week. I can't wait to go home. Where do you go to school? I go to Michigan Tech, way up in the Keweenaw peninsula in the U.P. of Michigan. I have an internship starting in Detroit starting next month. If the Red Wings make it deep into the playoffs I might be able to see a game! I haven't been to one in over a decade.

    Register on photobucket.com or imageshack.com (I use photobucket), then upload the pics to your album. When you look at your picture, it will tell you the link to it. Copy the link with Edit -> Copy. When you go to post your picture here, click on the green tree icon above the text box. It will ask you for the link and you just paste it in there. You can preview your post to make sure it worked.

    I've been following this forum since the playoffs started and I felt I had to create this.
