    Osgood criticizes Versus

    For CBC it's likely lack of interest from viewers asking for it. For TSN though, it might have something to do with it's ties to ESPN.

    The best "insults" you've heard against the Wings

    Detroit is an expansion team too.

    How Much Does Lidstrom Have Left

    I'm not sure I would call Luongo elite.

    Ozzie still gets no respect

    Osgood is the Rodney Dangerfield of goalies... Though I still don't like him. (It's my right dammit!)

    Conference Final Wallpaper NOW AVAILABLE!

    lol it took less than 5 minutes after game 7 and the win meter was updated, duck threads unstickied, and new photoshop war thread made, but it took until today for the new Wallpapers. Trying to put the last series behind us a bit while not looking forward to this one? j/k Matt. :flower:

    NBC is biased against the Wings

    Detroit had iso-cams in the last 2 rounds. It's... interesting to watch and you tend to see more penalties that should be called.

    "East is a BEAST"

    The East has star power, but is a train wreck for a "team" game. The west is the opposite. Both can make for surprises.

    2009 WCSF GAME 7: Ducks 3 at Red Wings 4

    And I was about to ***** about not getting a shot off from in close and Hudler nets the closet shot in the game so far.

    NHL responds to waved-off goal in Game 3

    In public defend your employees, behind closed doors 2 to the gut. There is no reason for infighting to be laid out for all to see, no matter how much like a disfunctional family the NHL is run.

    NHL Playoffs need to be shorter with less teams

    You are aware that 16 teams have been in the NHL playoffs since the 79-80 season when the league only had 21 teams right? Or that during the "Original 6" period, four of the six teams went to the playoffs? Or that during '68 expansion saw 8 of 12 teams advancing to the playoffs? That is the beautiful thing about the NHL playoffs, anybody has a chance to win the whole damn thing. If it were just the tops seeds that were contenders we might as well start shooting baskets.

    Hiller's pads

    A reason that white pads are popular is that it gives the optical illusion that they are larger than they are. It's why Fleury changed from the god aweful yellow ones he used to wear to white.

    WCSF GAME 3 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Ducks 2

    I'm getting kinda tired of watching is cruise out from behind our net, carry it to their blue line, and dump it in.

    WCSF GAME 3 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Ducks 2

    is beating to many Wings off of the puck.

    Chelios

    Of everything that might be a problem with Chelios only playing 7 minutes, conditioning shouldn't be on that list.

    Downey Elbows Opposing Goalie In AHL Playoffs

    No, but they wouldn't reward him with icetime either. Heck, would they even have him with the club or down in GR?

    Downey Elbows Opposing Goalie In AHL Playoffs

    I don't know he finished even in +/- and seemed to earn praise from the front office for playing his role.

    The Wings' Pathetic Overtime Record

    They seem to play uncomfortable in OT. Tonight, they really only seemed to click when they were on the powerplay in OT1.

    WCSF GAME 2 GDT: Ducks 4 at Red Wings 3 (3OT)

    Sweet, NHL.com is streaming iso-cam of the game. Nice to see how hard 1 Wing is working out there at a time.

    Downey Elbows Opposing Goalie In AHL Playoffs

    Fighting majors don't result in 4-on-4 play. Also Downey only received an additional 2 minutes (Lappy fight) once during the 07-08 season per hockeyfights.com. He wasn't a detriment to the team while playing. ????????? That video is pretty damning. I wish there was another angle available. 7-10 games for seems right imo. This would be his first suspension iirc.
