Z and D for the C

Frolov is Russian.

Along with Zetterberg and Cleary coming back.

I think you summed it up right there. We're playing with a below average first line, a third line and 2 fourth lines. You really can't expect that much right now.

Well, a horrible game and a horrible time to have a horrible game.

Well, it was a pretty sweet goal for a fourth-line-hopeful who is lost in the offensive zone and can't finish. And PS, Datsyuk has had more than double his goal total in assists each of the past 4 seasons. Does that make him a defensive forward and an inconsistent scorer?

Fairy.

******* FILPPULA

To be honest, I do think Flip hasn't looked good at all this game. Though he's looked great in other games.

Filppula fell down once, and helped to keep the play alive 2 seconds later.

At least Flip's line can make a play.

Oh. My. God.

No one can make a ******* play...

No...come back on the ice Lidstrom!

Everyone just blame Lebda, it'll make you feel better.

Great start.

God I can't stand Lebda. I hope he's the first defenseman to go.

Too much time around Perry?

Why Tivo is so awesome.

I got defensive?

...I wasn't attacking you and I wasn't flaming you (unless you think homer is a super extreme hardcore insult...I don't...we're all homers to an extent). I wouldn't say calling you an "OMFG ******* TROLL" is the same as just saying that Chicago is a lot better than you seem to think. I think it's you who needs to take a step back here. Take your hand off your holster, I mean you no harm.

You have to be a serious homer if you don't think Chicago is at least top 3.

^ and so, here is for a Sharks comeback.

And saying he isn't playing like he should be in the top 6 is also pure bulls***. Again, try watching a game and not blindfolding yourself when Flip is on the ice, which is the only way you could possibly even dream up a conclusion like that. I haven't seen anyone flaming you either.

A 23 game sample is a lot better than a 1 game sample. And you're putting words in my mouth, I'm not saying he is an offensive beast among the likes of datsyuk or Zetterberg or even Franzen, but gcom said that he's not an offensive threat not matter who he plays with which is straight retarded. It's impossible not to notice the kid when he's on the ice, give him a second line role with legit second line players (not the third/fourth line players he's pretty much been paired with his entire career) and he'll do great.

He was damn better than .5 ppg in the playoffs last year.
