He looks like a French street thug in that picture.

I'd alternate them, just like it's been done all year, unless one guy just severely outplays the other guy. I know it hasn't been something that teams have done in the past, but that's probably the best way to go with this team.

Every time I see Kunitz's face I think of Hudler. I wonder if they're distantly related?

No, I thought the sister is the one on the right. Also, I'm not sure whether the poster is a guy or not. This is a serious LGW question that needs to be cleared up now. I guess there's nothing else to talk about before the playoffs begin.

He's carried Lebda for several years, but I don't think Lebda's ever going to have more upside then what he has now. I just hope Chelly can help Ericsson become better than Lebda, which shouldn't be hard.

The whole reason I want that lineup is so that we can handle the Ducks tougness. Suggesting that I'm a Ducks fan is ludicrous. And who are these talented players you're talking about? I just think Hudler and Kopecky need to be sat, since I'm not bumping anyone else off the roster with my proposals. As for Lilja, he's no less talented a 4th line Winger than Downey or McCarty, or any other 4th liners around the league. Who cares if he's a great puck handler.

Who's the girl on the left in your avatar? Please tell me she's single, because she's hot!

I'd be afraid to even look at his daughter for fear that he might catch me doing it, and then there would be hell to pay. I think a lot of it depends on location. I'm sure no one on a beach in Florida is going to stalk Olli Jokinen, but lets say Iginla is walking around in downtown Calgary, or Guy Lafleur in downtown Montreal. In those instances, I wouldn't be surprised if those guys get mobbed and followed around, with the occasional stalker here and there. I wouldn't imagine that it'd be different with Yzerman in Detroit, due to his popularity.

And it's so typical of you to chase after me for it. I wasn't being negative, I just thought he made the most positive post I ever read, and Jerry Garcia was the first name that popped into my head. There's nothing wrong with joking around, we're not in an AA meeting here.

Hey, I like it when hockey players take chances with fashion. Remember Jagr with the hair. Yeah, he looked awful, but that's how I'll always remember him. As someone already pointed out, that moustache is what makes Parros stand out. Nobody really has plain moustaches anymore, since now everyone has a goatee to go with it. He's just trying to bring back an old look. Kind of like popping the collar.

I don't know if I should believe what Holland says. Besides, I've thought all year that if we win the Cup, Chelly will probably retire knowing that he finished on top.

Lilja could definitely pass for an Italian. As for his play recently, I'm just going to say that Holland instructed him not to fight. This is an impenetrable argument.

Which is why we need a mean, "PAIN TRAIN" whistle at the Joe.

2000 posts! Damn, I'm close, though.

Hey, at least it shows they're willing to come to games and actually make noise. Granted, they know nothing about hockey, but I guess as far as the league goes, beggars can't be choosers.

I guess Jerry Garcia is alive, and is a Red Wings fan.

How did you get out of that bar alive?

Well, Ron Wilson pretty much destroyed Parker's career in San Jose, so I wouldn't be surprised if he makes Shelley a healthy scratch for the entire playoffs. Wilson is a tool when it comes to enforcers, and it's amazing to think that during Washington's run to the Finals, he dressed both Simon and Berube for the playoffs. Ever since then, he's coached soft teams, and dressed enforcers only when playing against opponents who didn't have any dressed themselves.

Doing homework sucks. Why can't I be in Cancun right now?

I don't think it was Lemieux, and even if it was, Ovechkin isn't having anywhere near the type of season than what Lemieux put up in his MVP years.

Sounds like they're about as intelligent as divealanche fans, or any other team that joined the league after the early 90's, with the exception of the Wild and Senators.

Yeah, but as I posted earlier, what would be the precedent for a player winning the Hart trophy without making the playoffs? It's just not something that ever happens in any sport.

Or we can put opposing players on the LGW calendar.

I hope not, because then Draper either gets moved to the 4th line or becomes a winger. Franzen, the way he's playing now, can benefit playing with other skilled players, rather than with Draper and Drake/Maltby who aren't expected to score. But, I guess Babcock doesn't want to bump the great Mikael Samuelsson off the 2nd line. It's really bizzarre when you think about it.

It's O.K. At least you've cleansed your soul and purified yourself, brother.
