Wish they did. We haven't hesitated in the past about signing old guys like Alfredsson and Madonna. I'd take Jagr over either of those players. He's giving Weiss the Mike Commodore treatment. Like I've said before, Babcock buries people faster than Triple H.

If we miss the playoffs, Babcock should go to Toronto, Holland should be fired and Zetterberg should be stripped of his captaincy. If not, then nevermind.

Most of these "trolls" have been here longer than you. Don't be like Crymson.

Good to see a guy actually go to the net.

Maybe Zetterberg needs to call out his loser teammates again.

How come you and kipwinger have the same avatar?

Like I said earlier, we were on the powerplay for so much in that game, that Pittsburgh never had a chance. Yes, it was their own stupidity and lack of discipline that did it, but it's not a game you can use as a sample. Instead, you can look to the last 10 games overall as a sample. This team doesn't look like the same team from a month ago.

I didn't say Tampa is going to win the Cup. I just said they're better than us and handle us pretty much everytime we play. The point difference exists largely because of that head to head record.

Yep. Jobbers on the bottom lines and milksops on the top lines. No wonder people in Detroit don't get too excited about this team anymore.

LOL. I'm more worried about the 8 point spread between us and the 9 seed. Forget about Tampa. Yzerman is making Kenny his personal punk.

The greatest men in this world are negative.

How about a line of Franzen, Cleary and Weiss?

Everytime Abdelkader gets into a fight, he should only get a 2.5 minute penalty for half-fighting.

Hey, Florida is tough to play in that building. Most opposing players have already visited at least three strip clubs the night before the game.

LOL. Except Kopecky made Patrick Sharp his *****.

Game over. I hope either Boston or Ottawa go into some kind of tailspin, to guarantee Babcock's team making the playoffs. These guys can't do anything easy.

But we were on the powerplay the entire game. That kills momentum for the other team.

Take away roster space from exciting people who equal ratings, like McGrattan and Cleary.

Z will be in a wheelchair when he's Jagr's age.

The Pens game proved nothing. This team is still useless unless they're on the powerplay. If anything, the Pens game proved that even further.

This game is so boring that I'm thinking about watching Smackdown instead. Maybe Denis Potvin could liven it up by telling his best drinking stories on the road with Clark Gillies and Bob Nystrom.

Somehow, I don't think of Miller as a punishing hitter. He gently nudges people into the boards.

Tatar - Datsyuk - Pulkinnen Franzen - Zetterberg - Nyquist Abdelkader - Sheahan - Helm Miller - Glendenning - Random goon Kronwall - good defenseman Dekeyser - Zidlicky Smith - Marchenko

How about having the two teams' enforcers square off after OT to determine the victor? I'm sure Bettman would love that. And it would appease the enforcer slappies like frankgrimes, FMichael and Detroit #1 Fan, by keeping tough guys in the game.

It happens so rarely that it's hard to make that argument with a straight face. It's basically a gimmick. Whether it "can" happen or not, it's so rare that it should never decide the outcome of a game. One doesn't have to enjoy the outcome. You enjoy the game. If neither team deserved to win, I'm fine with a tie. I won't feel better about things if someone gets a manufactured point. Honestly, the best and most unrealistic way to decide ties (because of the physical toil it would take), is to play continuous overtimes until someone scores. Anything else comes off as a gimmick unless you just allow ties.
