    11/24 GDT: Red Wings 2 @ Canucks 3 (OT)

    I must be seeing a different game. The Wings have been on their game for the most part. I, for one, am glad the Wings are getting their mojo back and playing more like they did last year.

    Osgood/Conklin same as last years Hasek/Osgood

    I agree, we're in a much better position goaltending-wise. Our defense was terrible early on thsi season. Osgood has only let in a few goals that he should have stopped. Other than that he's been outstanding as usual, making huge saves. As long as Conklin and Ozzie get along, competition between them can only help.

    Official I Love Conklin Thread

    Ozzie and Conklin are a great team. As long as they get along and have no drama, the Wings will only benefit by having two solid goalies to fill in in the clutch. The best defense against any team is an amazing goalie tandem. Being able to switch it up and throw the oppositions strategy into flux is invaluable.

    NHL back to ESPN? CBC says yes...

    They hardly covered hockey when they DID have it. It's considered some obscure sport meant to headline one of their ESPN # networks and won't merit much more attention than it already has. It'll still be all baseball and football during their offseasons even.

    Is this the final chance?

    We ask this every year. We will stay dominant for many years to come. Who knows if we'll win, but it's not our last chance by far. We seem to have a pretty seamless transition coming in for the guys retiring and the guys coming in, talentwise.

    NHL back to ESPN? CBC says yes...

    Theoretically going back to ESPN would be good for the league. But in reality, when it's hardly marketed and buried like it was in the old days, or buried on ESPN 13 that's not much of an improvement, is it?

    RBK Heritage Sweaters

    Does anyone own one of these? http://www.ocregisterfanshop.com/Detroit-C...5401558_PD.html I'm just curious how they fit/feel. Being RBK I'm a little uneasy, and that picture makes it look a little....well...pinched in the middle. I'd really like to get ahold of one, but not if it's crappy material or feels uncomfortable.

    Caps in Anaheim tonight.

    Not to mention that AO's PR is so much better. Reading stories about him are entertaining because he's a funny, good natured guy, like a frat member Datsyuk. Crosby is just irritating as hell.

    Caps in Anaheim tonight.

    The Ducks have talent but: a) Don't know how to develop and use that talent. b) Rely too much on physicality over anything else. They were flukes, just like Carolina and TB.

    11/20 GDT: Red Wings 4, Oilers 3

    I like Hudler, but he's not better than Franzen. Someone else pointed out that he never performs on higher lines. He thrives with less playing time and having weaker opponents to play against. When he's been put on the 2nd line, his offensive skills dry up for the most part. I say leave him where he is extremely effective.

    Awesome, thanks!

    Lilja vs. Souray!

    That fight really sucked...Lilja looked like a scared little kid.

    RBK Heritage Sweaters

    The color looks bad, too. I know it's supposed to be "vintage" but that doesn't mean it has to look sweated-in.

    Report: 2009-10 cap rumored to be $55M

    It's way too early to talk about any of this. We probably won't keep Hossa, but no one expect us to keep Stuart, either.

    Sidney Crosby is leading by the example

    But only the hardiest few make an entire career out of whining, as Sid the Kid has.

    Pictures of Lidstroms House

    Yeah, Lids is modest for an athlete. Most others have rotating living rooms, a row of six refrigerators all stacked with energy drinks, a seventeen car garage, seven miles of closet-space, indoor ice rinks, etc.

    Sidney Crosby is leading by the example

    Ovie can run Malkin all he wants. That's what happens when you earn respect instead of get it handed to you by the league. You can get away with stuff like that. Nobody likes a little whiner.

    "NHL Headhunters Warned"

    Headhunting is horrible. But as usual, they will have their Prongers to defend at any cost. If they had punished half as much as they should have over the years, Pronger would be in prison.

    All Star Jerseys

    What's with all the stupid jersey's in sports these days? Does EVERYONE hire stupid designers who watched too much anime?

    Kronwall has picked up his play

    Everyone did, really. He has stepped it up, but I think everyone has as well. Last night was the first time this season I saw the Wings from last year.

    10/17 GDT: Red Wings 4, Oilers 0

    No goal, I agree with it unfortunately.

    Larry Murphy becoming the VS announcer for FOX

    Murphy is improving a bit. He's not great but I can tolerate him now. I vote for Cheli to take up a commentary job. I could easily see him becomign the next Mick.

    All-Star Voting shenanigans by Habs fans.

    The tag-line for the voting is "Vote now, vote often." Therefore, any voting shenanigans is to be expected and allowed.

    Rumor: Hossa leaving after this season

    I wouldn't be surprised if he left, btu that "package deal" thing only proves the "source" is a moron.

    Johan Franzen is one of the NHL's top 20 forwards.

    Franzen is among the elite. The guy is a guaranteed goal scorer and a force to be reckoned with. Maybe not top 20 (as someone said, each team probably has at least one amazing player), but he's damn close.
