I am impressed! 8 posts and someone finally spelled Filppula right! ZDH is pretty much a given. (I did say "pretty much".) After that, it gets murky. I agree with Decoy Jones (the real one, but I enjoyed the numbers as well). Wait a minute- the real Decoy?... Bottom line: This team is stacked. Let's just hope they come out with all guns a-firing and play serious hockey.

Begging your pardon, but as one who comes equipped with a ******, I do not feel that this is an accurate description of Mr. Tootoo. Having a ****** means you'd know what to do with a dick if you saw one. Mr. Tootoo has never made acquaintance with such an object. I have to wonder what Bert might have done to him back in "the old days".

It was the thread that was boring. There were no streams, and so a lot of us just sat here waiting for news and wondering if we had anything growing in our carpet. Total agreement on the Osgood sucks thing.

Haven't fished since I was a kid. The person below me gets to go out today and shovel out of this: That's across the street. It's about 8 inches since I shoveled 4 last night.

There must be an unwritten rule. Last year I suggested playing both, and got, um, shall we say "scolded". I just thought that there might be merit to the idea of having a fresh goalie in net as the playoffs wore on, since their regular season stats were about as identical as could be. I would not be opposed to playing whichever one is better in the given situation, whether that is home/away or against certain teams or against certain styles of play, but as was pointed out to me last year, I have never coached and obviously never will since I know nothing at all about hockey.

Never tried it. Cream cheese, yes, but not cottage cheese. Not sure if I'd like it. I'm a butter person myself (actually, oleo, but whatever). The person below me sings to their pet. (Nik loves the Danny Cleary song.)

gracias. Glad I didn't need it. MUUUUUUULE!

Need a favour folks. If this thing goes to the shootout, could people specifics? Like "Dats scores" or "Conk saves" instead of just "Yay!" or "Sh!t". It'd help. Thanks.

There ya go. Scratch some sleepy guys and play Generals

even a spark would be nice.

LOL, when we were talking about confidence, I thought maybe Raf needed to score. YAY! Now play with some balls, man. (You know what I mean- get your minds out of the gutter.)

Ja, I was hoping a Homer injection would do it tonight, but so far, nada.

Is it just me, or does confidence seem to be an issue for a lot of guys this year? I've heard it said of Flip, Oz, Mule... Is it because they're not playing like they did in the playoffs? Are we fans not alone in expecting that they'd just keep tearing it up all season long? Just throwing that out. Not sold on it at all.

Thanks, my first read was that Mule punched Lids, and I knew that had to be wrong.

Detroit #1 fan said, "Lidstrom was talking to Upshall and Franzen came in and popped him in the head," Then you said: Run that by me again? The use of "him" is confusing. Who bopped whom and when?

Well, at least we're getting shots. Eventually one of them has to go in. Maybe. I hope. Still, the fact that we've had twice the shots they have had all game says something. Sorry, just trying to find a bright spot in this.

It's the aliens. They're searching the internet for signs of intelligent life and taking our posts back as evidence.

I sympathize. I have no tv (atm) and my dial-up doesn't support radio, much less a stream. That said, people who can see this: Please post and let us know what's going on. Thank you.

Eh, I don't quite buy that. I have never had a stream, and I post. Ignorance of circumstance does not shut most people up. At least not me, anyway.

True dat.

Goalie interference on Homer. All is back to normal.

Flexibility. He's a placeholder in 2 positions. Besides that, a point here and there, but not much else. We should teach him to fight.

You mean those weren't real? Should have known when you included 4.

<gets pen and paper> Is that powerball?

Ok, boys, let's start it out with some energy. Set the tone, set the pace, dominate, and stay that way.
