Here comes our wonderful PK unit.

When was the last time we lost to Quenneville in any game?

I would trade Ty Conklin for Patrick Lalime right now. Better yet, I'd trade him for Roman Cechmanek, if he's still around somewhere.

I just hope we don't see Kopecky playing on the 1st line as one of the new line combinations.

We need to put the big 3 together right now on the same line. Down by 2 goals we have nothing to lose, and Pavel and Hank are both getting outscored by Hudler of all people. That has to change, or else Hank will finish with something like 30 goals this season. That's way too low for him.

Dead things? Your team hasn't won the Cup since 1961. Who's dead?

Great to see that Sammy's crappy aim is back.

Great shot by Sammy. That should count, because no one else could have aimed it so well.

I wonder if he can stop a beachball right now?

s***ty backchecking.

Conklin has been a disappointment this year. Last year he came in for Fleury and was awesome for the Pens. That was why Holland signed him, and it obviously hasn't carried over into this season. If he was a bit taller, then that move would have made sense. He had no business going down so early.

Lilja needs to grab Kane right now and force him to fight in order to change the momentum. Pound away, Andreas.

Blame the refs all you want, but this PK unit is just horrible right now. Complete miscommunication and atrocious goaltending. We might see Ozzie come in if things get any worse. Is there a goalie in the house?

God we suck this year defensively. We've already given up 3 goals, are 0 for 2 on the PK, and the goalie can't stop a damn thing. This has got to be fixed ASAP, because it's become embarassing to watch the goals get racked up against us like that.

Cleary's has to play the man and not the puck. That was pathetic on his part.

Sharp is flying out there tonight. Either Lilja or Kopecky need to remind him who his real daddies are.

I wonder if Avery has ever met Willa Ford?

That was before he started dating celebrities, and besides, we had a more veteran presence and a stronger minded team than these Dallas Stars who are looking to blame anyone for their troubles.

In my opinion, strong veteran teams can handle distractions like Avery, and that's something you often see in sports with the top teams that are used to winning. The Bulls had the same thing with Rodman, the Lakers had it with Kobe's trial, and the Giants have had it all year with Burress. Those teams were strong enough as a group to put those problems aside and still win. The Stars are acting like Avery is the sole reason for their disastrous season. If he has that kind of power over them, then they're a weak minded and overrated group of idiots who aren't good enough to overcome any adversity whatsoever.

I applaud whoever it was that said that Dallas is throwing Avery under the bus. Turco needs to shut his mouth and stop making excuses for his s***ty play this season. It's not Avery's fault that he can't stop a beach ball this season. Likewise, Madonna should stop blaming Avery, because it's not Avery's fault that Madonna has aged and is now past his prime. Their whole team are acting like a bunch of whiny ******* looking for excuses for why they suck. If they were such a tightly knit, veteran team, they would never let a guy like Avery destroy their team spirit singlehandedly. F**k the Stars and their excuses.

Ozzie has been pretty bad this season, thus people have a right to criticize him all they want. Let's not forget that everyone on this roster won the Cup last year, just like he did. Does that mean that all these players should be immune from criticism? I don't think so. If this goaltending keeps up, this team will never be able to repeat as champs. Either he's got to improve now and fast, or something else has to be done, and many here happen to realize that. For the life of me, I can't understand threads like these, which seem to go against the whole purpose of having an internet discussion thread.

If this question was asked on a divealanche forum, I doubt any more than a handful of people would say "yes". However, it's a little different here on LGW. I know that we own their team, but why should we hate them any less if they still hate the Wings as much as ever?

I would rather mutually masturbate with Rosie O'Donnell, or watch all three Lord of the Rings movies in succession, than ever wear a divealanche jersey. And you couldn't pay me off to do it, either.

I'm beginning to think that the only reason why Holland paid Flip that $3 million a year, is in anticipation of losing Hossa, Franzen, or both in next year's free agency. Thus, starting next year Flip will be more of a regular on the PP. If that isn't the reason, then this was a bad signing, because there's no reason to pay $3 million to a guy that you expect to be a 3rd liner for several seasons, and who isn't even a regular on the PP. At this point Flip looks somewhat valuable in the long run, but very expendable short-term.

This just in: Elisha Cuthbert has officially declared that she will never again watch the sport that she grew up watching and one in which her current boyfriend plays, because these insensitive comments by Avery prove that hockey is for untalented thugs who do nothing but make such demeaning comments. Furthermore, due to Cuthbert's denouncement of the NHL, the league appears to be headed for another lockout. Likewise, Cuthbert's friends in Hollywood have decided that they are not going to support the NHL, as they were planning on doing before this incident occurred. Get real with this s**t, Dabura.
