Z and D for the C

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really find anything appealing about a jersey saturated with another man's sweat. It's kind of weird.

Ride Conklin until he has a bad game. He's playing awesome hockey.

No.

Not worried about washington, just hella surprised they're nearly doing as well as us.

And washington won, they're only 2 points behind us. Wow.

What an awesome freaking game. Conks with the extremely deserved shutout, Hossa finally gets a goal, and pav is the coolest person in the entire world.

Except Hossa scoring <3

Nothing makes me hotter than hearing Marian Hossa from the JLA announcer

He can score goals, he's the best back checker on the team (in the league?), he can protect the puck, he's huge (relative to our other top forwards) and he can draw penalties and he also has an awesome pass. What the hell else do you want from him? Would you like him to cook pancakes for you?

There are actually people who think that?

I would be extremely embarrassed if anyone on the wings did this, or acted like Crosby in any way.

This. The only reason Kopecky is here is because of Hossa, I'm convinced.

Yeah I can't see anything happening.

Nope, you've obviously didnt see the game. Stuart (I think?) was on the boards with some Wild player, kronwall comes to pick the pick up and the wild player knocks the puck off Kronwalls stick with his own stick and i went right into another player. Unless Kronwall sees the future there that's gonna happen. good play by the Wild, not kronner's error.

The second goal last night wasn't completely Kronner's fault or anything (like he's done before this year). It was a great play by whoever was on the boards when he took the puck. He had it knocked off his stick, no way to prevent hat really. The idea of trading Stuart is hysterical.

Crosby is such a ******* *****. If he wanted to drop the gloves in a face off, that'd be awesome, but he's a *****. He's just pulling his jersey back and forth.

Glad to see Ozzie play well in his first game back.

I know no one is going to believe me, but I had that move in mind for pavel the entire time. I had a feeling he was going to do that. I feel cool.

That's at least as good as tavares goal.

Look at the situations and the team each was playing. The panthers in some regular season game versus the Stanly Cup Finals against the league's favorite most awesomest team, the pittsburgh penguins. I think flip's took more to pull off than crosbys.

What about this one? Didn't crosby score a very similar goal that everyone reeled as the goal of the millenium? Flip's is easily top 10 of the year.

In efforts to please Eva, Hudler gets #1 star. Yay for huds, he had a great game

We were MORE successful than the bears, draft picks baby!

If that's a reply to my post, point out where I said he has scored all our goals. I said that some of his goals have been EXTREMELY clutch which we ended up building off of to win. I'm reminded of a game against the Blue Jackets where he broke a 2-2 tie, then columbus scored again, after which hossa again scored for the GWG. http://redwings.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?hlg=20082009,2,332 Or hey remember when Hossa made something out of nothing to tie the game against the BLACKHAWKS? Which we later won.

It's not like Hossa doesn't have the 2nd most points on the team behind only datsyuk, and it's not like he wasn't leading up only until a week or two ago. And it's not like we can't credit about 5 or 6 games we would have lost without hossa, where his goals brought us back to win in. Let's not forget he had 13 points in 8 games in the beginning, and 4 goals and 4 assists in 4 games a little later. You'd rather have Z than Hossa fine, but don't act like Hossa hasn't been a huge value to us this year, he has. The first third of the season he was our best player. He's cooled off a bit at this point but Z isn't exactly showing up the entire league either.
