Really hoping we pull out with a win in Glendale tonight.
Projected D-lines seem a bit off, I don't think we're going to see Kronwall this soon after the hit by McLeod. I'd imagine we'll see Ericsson/Quincey, DeKeyser/Smith, & Kindl/Lashoff - unless they pair Ericsson/DeKeyser as our top pairing but I'm not sure how I feel about Quincey with either Smith or Lashoff, or a combo of Smith/Lashoff on the ice together.
Our D has me worried, but if Howie is in net after a nice rest I'm sure he'll be looking to get back the 2 points we gave up to them last week.

This is nonsense... misconduct? Seriously? I only saw it when it happened before CNBC went back to the Bruins/Leafs game.. so I can't see any replays. It didn't look misconduct worthy...

and f*** the Ducks and that pp goal >.>

Am I the only one having trouble seeing the game??? AT&T is trying to tell me that the game isn't nationally broadcast and since I'm not in either the Detroit or Anaheim markets, I can't watch it. I got both Games 1 & 2 broadcast just fine...
Please tell me my provider is an idiot and I can justifiably flip my s*** on them when I get to the next tech support person???? I can't watch it on NBC's website because AT&T isn't on their list of providers for live coverage and the NHL Gamecenter app says its a nationally televised game >.>

It's nice of Torres to go ahead and serve everyone else's suspensions as well.

It's because his ankle still isn't 100%. On the PK, he's putting that bad foot forward as a shot-blocking foot and they don't want to risk him being out of the lineup entirely.

Red cream soda & gummy octopi: Check
Dinner so easy my husband can cook it while I'm at work: Check
Update wings necklace from last post-season (from Hockeytown♥No Limits - to Dangle♥Dangle): Check
Hiding my Wings jersey (against work dress code) under my Wings zipper hoodie (surprisingly not against dress code): Check
I'm supposed to get off work at 7 tonight, and I live in Central so the game starts at 7 for me But I won't have any rush hour traffic to beat home, and it'll take 'em a good 10+ minutes to get their playoff intros and fangasming out of the way before the puck drops so I'm fairly confident I'll make it home in time.

I'm on board this time!

I thought the NHL came out and admitted that a goal by Vancouver (against US no less) should have been called off back in December. I can't seem to find the link to it anymore (NHL.com's website only goes back to January)

Not diggin' losing Stuart on the blue line tonight. Not diggin' that at all.
Hopefully Joey can keep up this "I'm gonna steal yo job Conks" style and we can squeeze out a win tonight.

I don't understand this mentality. He's not any better for the game than Ovechkin or Stamkos or anyone else. Maybe because he sells more jerseys? As far as the actual game goes, he's not even the best player in the league (arguably), so his loss would suck for Pens fans but I think the league will do just fine.

Wow, over-dramatize much? The NHL has survived the retirement of Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky; what would make this worse?

To be fair, though, it is the league's own fault for putting all their eggs in one basket.

So 14-3 is seeming like it could be a high possibility

Tomorrow will be a day of celebration as I get ever closer to my finals being over! My husband also bought me the Red Wings Octopus pillow pet for Christmas, and it came tonight xD
Hoping the octopus secures our victory against the 'Yotes! I'll be begging for a win tomorrow night. I just hope tonights all-nighter doesn't kill me for the game tomorrow.

Poor Patty.. takes the shot, and then tells the kid who hit him that it's alright. Classy move by Josi to check on him, and even classier by Eaves to shake it off and try to make the kid feel better about it.

This is the only time I hate Center Ice - because they black it out for the Blues feed even though I'm 3 1/2-4 hours away. Doubly worse when they aren't always broadcasting the Blues game on this side of the state.
Darren Pang is an AWFUL announcer >.> If I had the cables to hook my laptop up to my HD tv I'd just use a stream and watch it there xD If nothing else, at least my daughter will get to watch and get excited for us to win tonight.
LGW!

I was supposed to BE THERE ;_; instead our financial plans fell through and our anniversary trip was cancelled.
In light of such horrible luck, I'm expecting a solid win from the boys

Fixed that for ya.
The Sprint Center is a good fit for an NHL team, but I don't forsee it actually housing one. Not only because of Kabrok's statement that the arena is doing fine on it's own without an anchor team (although it is) but there's just zero drive for anyone in the area to want to buy the team. The city won't buy it like Glendale did with the Coyotes, and I don't see anyone really wanting to pony up to pay for the Isles.
Then of course, you get more league restructuring talk - etc etc and they already need to do it because of the Jets. I don't think the league would be too keen on having to do it yet again when the Islanders' arena agreement runs out.

I personally don't have anything against 'em. We had a couple guys here do the same thing in orange when our CHL team went to the playoffs, and it was a blast in person.
Though I do have to kinda agree with the league's stance that they can't be hanging upside down and crap off the penalty box. Not so much because it's a distraction to the guy in the box (f*** 'em) but it's a liability for the Canucks, their building, and the NHL if they fall off, break something and land on a spectator, etc. That kinda press isn't what the NHL needs, random fans breaking stuff and landing on old women xD
