    Kronwall, Havlat Hit

    I think, once upon a time, it started when someone did a typo on "own".

    This or That

    I'm a girl. Nik is a boy. So we have one of each here. Devil or Angel? (Which are you?)

    The person below me game...

    I'll agree to that. The person below me likes Fruit Loops. (Man, haven't had those in a while, but just got a craving.)

    Fedorov to join KHL

    You could use this one: Best of luck, 91!

    Draper out game 5, Nick and Pavel Day-to-Day

    Disagree on the basis that he signed his contract over the age of 35, so we'd be on the hook for his 800k+change cap hit. For that little bit of cash, he's a perfectly good 13th forward.

    Babcock to coach Canadiens?

    He just realizes what a mistake he made when he let Lang go.

    This or That

    Ernie. Bert was a bit stuffy for me. Rainy or sunny?

    The person below me game...

    I had to dig deep into the recesses of my memory for that one. Didn't Big Bird sleep pretty much the same way? The person below me feels a bit sad today (for those celebrating Memorial Day), in memory of a loved one.

    Hockey is Hockey, Dumb is Dumb

    Since we all know that everything we see in print is true, the Wings must be prepared for this. Starting lineup: Kindl, Ericsson, McCarty, Downey, Abdelkader. I have no idea if Kindl can fight or not, but if he loses and is out for the game, he's expendable. The others will win their matchups. Ozzie takes on Huet. Second lineup (next faceoff): Kronner, Cheli, Homer, Mule, Cleary. They can all take the beating. Conks takes out Crawford through pure intimidation. After 10 of the Blackhawks are thrown out of the game, we play their remaining 8 skaters with Lids and Raffy on D (and any others who survived the fights and beatings with sticks), and Dats-Z-Sammy and Flip-Hossa-Huds as the other forward lines. Howard gets the W against the injured Habby or their 4th line goalie, whichever Q chooses to play. Q ruptures a blood vessel; Babs chews gum and drinks Dasani.

    Avs offer Head Coach, GM position to Patrick Roy

    Is this the same Montreal-based news that reported that Babs is headed to coach the Canadiens? Because this is almost that funny.

    One more reason to love Osgood

    We definately got the best deal. Go Ozzie!

    What's up with Ozzie?

    Really? I did not know both were correct. Thanks for the info.

    What's up with Ozzie?

    Babs was asked at the press conference if he had pulled Ozzie to rest him. Babs laughed and said, "no, I'd never do that". Then he explained about the dehydration. This could mean: a) I didn't rest him; he was dehydrated. b) I didn't rest him; I spared him from the chance that things could get ugly and he was dehydrated. c) I didn't rest him; I wanted Conks to get some time in case we need him later and he was dehydrated. d) I didn't rest him; I wanted to mess with Q/demoralize the Hawks and he was dehydrated. e) all of the above. The other thing I noticed from this and a previous presser was that Babs mispronounces Byfuglien. Intentional? Or is he a grad of Hooked on Phonics?

    If Scotty was coaching...

    The biggest difference I can think of is that Scotty would not have gone into the presser and complained about the refs. Perhaps there'd have been fewer penalties taken by the Hawks later on in the game. That's hard to tell. Some people will be stupid and there's no stopping them.

    How do we get Datsyuk going!?

    They're not there already? I'd almost be tempted to put him with Mule and Z. Put Hossa, Flip and one of Cleary, Huds or Sammy together. Every time I think I have it, I change my mind. This team is stacked like pancakes.

    Blackhawks' Brian Campbell: "Gutless"

    Havsplat needs to keep his head up. Campbell needs to keep his mouth shut. The Hawks need to get some discipline in their game. Of the three, I think the first is most important because as much as I want the Wings to win, I do not like seeing serious injuries no matter whose team a guy is on.

    Game 4 Refs

    That's the whole reason why a well-officiated game gets a thread. It's like Lidstrom mooning the crowd during the National Anthem- if it happened once, people would notice and it would get its own thread.

    What's up with Ozzie?

    QFT, regardless of gender. And don't wipe if you've used it recently without washing well. Medical tip for the day.

    WCF GAME 4 GDT: Red Wings 6, at Blackhawks 1

    Are you talking about getting his name on the Cup (if not, please explain cuz I'm lost)? Conks would qualify anyway since he's been on the bench. It counts as playing for a goalie.

    Had to make the bracelet first. Tradition, you know. Bracelet is on. Sig is updated. I don't have enough red thread for a Cup Win. Good thing it's cheap.

    What Should Babcock Do With Hossa?

    Yep, that's the sort of stuff that gets posted here. Always good for a chuckle. Welcome aboard, but don't feed the trolls. Hossa has scored 2 goals in all Game 4's in the playoffs. I think he will break this tradition when (knock wood) we face his old team. He had spark tonight. Keep him with Filppula. They do well together.
