Not in, but if we keep doing that, maybe the next one will be.

Those guys make me sore just watching them on some of those saves. Maybe a few saves like that will help the confidence level. He looked a bit off after the first goal, but that might have just been frustration and he got over it. Let's hope.

That is awesome. He would score with that beard.

Hopefully he's just concentrating on growing his beard so he can be a beast in the 3rd. He hasn't taken any hits that I've noticed, at least nothing that might hurt him. Or did I miss something?

That is a little scary. Pavel needs one of those old-timey Russian beards.

Nope. I cut my own hair except for every 5 or 6 years, when I have a friend cut off a foot or so to donate, but I keep it below the bra line. I only cut the bangs. The person below me has grown a beard.

Well, great... We get a goal from the Rookie of the year (assisted by the Wookiee of the year) and Kessel gets all sad about being left out of the Caveman conversation. Go Wings! Get it back.

Milk Grape or peach?

Fleury plays the puck a long way out of the net. We should do something to use this to our advantage.

Submitted for your approval... A conspiracy theory. Z. Incredible talent. Incredible beard. Known by the initial of his surname. Q. No beard. Not enough talent to keep. Known as KFQ. However... KFQ returns to Detroit, grows a Zetterbeard, improves greatly and is now called Q. The Power is in the Beard.

Has its own zip code and several yet-undiscovered life forms.

We haven't scored our one and only goal for the evening.

Oh, Matt. Why did you, the pride of my hometown, go to play for the Penis?

Thank you, Petr.

All even now. Let's score some more!

Well, poop. Deflected off Helm. Unlucky.

I know it's been years since 2009, but I still want to beat the Penis every time we play them just to get them back for winning the Cup. Weird thing is that if they'd won in 2008 and we in 2009, I'd consider us even. Go Wings!

I don't mind it too much, as long as it doesn't stay around. The person below me blows their nose one nostril at a time.

I've noticed that when you go to the standings, you have to pass by another screen to get to "wild card". Let's be real here- does anything other than that really count? You want to know where your competition is as well, and that involves knowing who has the wild card spots. I've also noticed that the teams are not on the top any more. You can still get to each team's website, but you have to click the "team" button first. Neither of these are terrible things, but they have gone from being user-friendly to being less so. The site has definitely taken a step backwards.

Not right now. He broke his foot. I'm not sure when he'll be back. He's got several years left on his contract. I don't remember exact amounts, but I do remember that it's high for someone so young, not that he doesn't have potential.

They needed a shake-up. They have been losing close games that could have been wins, but things just weren't clicking.

Wow. Thanks to everyone who posted the video memories.

I hear you, Echolalia. I have no workbench (l live in a trailer house) but the NE corner of my bedroom is my "tool room". When I was young and able, I would consider putting in a drawer that would roll out in my kitchen cabinets and somehow via planning to build a kitchen island, I'd be making plans for a gazebo. Many's the time I caught myself and said, "Just ____ the _______ and get on with it." Fortunately, I'm an old redneck with deep redneck roots. For your situation, I'd have duct taped a couple of hardware store yardsticks to an old card table and put that up when it was game night. BTW- "woodworking" being a loaded question was in reference to the alternate definition of "wood". Some can work it; some can't.

That's how you get Helm to score! Take out the goalie.

Well, that didn't go as planned.
