Really? Fedorov won the first award and it is something that every NHL Russian player votes on.

HTD is a forward... and skilled... and not a team player. Lilja was the opposite. Only thing in common are that they are big and Swedish.

f*** to Popo

Slovaks just need to ask the Wings permission to use him. If they say yes, he can go, if they refuse, then he can't.

Not all hooks or interferences are called, but they are still a penalty. Don't get upset because Johnny Law and Detroit are spot picking. It's like going 5 over the speed limit, 99% of people get away with it, but if you get pulled over and cited for speeding, you still broke the law.

I could have sworn he said it was NHL or bust (KHL, Swiss). Maybe I am misremembering?

It's a city ordinance as well...

Ozzie makes a great point in his interview: "If you are spot picking throwin' an octopus on the ice, fans will need to start throwing their hats into the upper bowl during hattricks so their hats don't go on the ice. This is tacky."

That's because he wants to play in the NHL, KHL, or Swiss elite league. Unless he really has matured and is willing to gut it out in the AHL for a month or five, he won't be in North America, which I give him a 1% of actually sticking it out in North America. Plus it's easy to grow up a lot when you had the mentality of a spoiled 15 year old girl wanting a 10 million dollar super sweet 16 and being upset when you get a platnium Lamborghini instead of a solid gold one. His growing up a lot could still be extremely immature, but only he knows and is willing to say all the right things to try to play in the NHL, right now.

Very true. It's like that in many languages as well (shocker!).

Great job missing the point. In my magical land I read this in my magical newspaper as i was riding my magical unicorn...Brian: So the NHL says it's illegal. The Red Wings say it's illegal. Detroit says it's illegal. It's not a question of authority over Detroit police, it's the authorization of Detroit police enforcing the law. If the NHL and the board of governors said it was illegal to wear hats in NHL sanctioned games, you better believe NHL patrons would get arrested. That doesn't mean the NHL "owns" the police, it means the police are enforcing the laws.

There was a poll last year done that had Russian fans voting Datsyuk best Russian player in the NHL by a large margin. The only people that undervalue him are North American fans not located in Michigan. All of Russia knows he's the best Russian

That is NOT what she said.

Dear police: Please ignore Law X because it's unfair and stupid. Sincerely, Disgruntled Wing's Fan. PS. Law Y also sucks and so does Law B, please don't enforce those either. PPS, while we are at it, ignore Laws, A,C,Z and, D. They are also stupid. If the NHL says it is illegal to throw on ice during its league playoff games, then yes, law enforcement must protect and serve if arena personnel are inept at handling such situations.

The only time I'd ever hit a woman is if she was hitting me with a weapon that was actually doing significant damage. Otherwise, it makes no sense to lay a finger on a female, even if she's drunk, spitting in your face and pushing you.

Lol, exactly.

Lol at all the hate on cops. Must be nice on all your pedestals. You all do know that this has ZERO to do with law enforcement and all to do with the NHL and/or Joe Louis Arena? I blame the one idiot who threw the octopus onto the ice during game play. That person should never be allowed at JLA. Lol pig cops. You immature people crack me up.

So if we can go 16-0, you wouldn't want Zata to rest his knee? So regardless we would win every game without him, you'd still want Zata out their risking further injury? This perplexes me in this hypothetical world!

You know I don't understand Datsyuk talk.

I hope we don't have to see Hank at all these playoffs. Let's just go 16-0. Sound good? Yep!

Actually, for Hudler that's a high five

The more days off between games and the less back to back games the better for the WIngs and Zetterberg.

Some pics of the game:

Vancouver is going to have a hell of a time with either of these teams next round.
