Z and D for the C

What equipment is he wearing?

Haha, he flubbed on it anyway... 2 points!

Can someone else say it for me?

I'm under the impression I'm everyone's dearest Flip slappy. I guess you'll just have to watch him play. He is great battling along the boards and he might be the best at skating the puck through the zone with speed. The only one you could argue is better is Pav but you rarely see him do it. He cycles the puck well and is an excellent passer. He is a second line player, period. You don't get 8 points in 3 games unless you have offensive talent. You're right, Filppula isn't going to make the players around him better, but when he is on a line with 3 good players that the playing to their potential, he will contribute a lot. Lately he has been playing with a snake bitten Franzen (3 goals in the past 11 games) and an ineffective Hudler.

It's a lot harder to move your body than your hand. Good call for the refs in my opinion.

And your mad that people aren't throwing Flip under the bus as well. The thing is Filppula has almost twice the points Hudler has (and 4 times the goals), while doing everything else Flip does on a regular basis that Hudler can't and will never do. And even though he isn't putting up points like he did in the first 7 games of the season, only a fool would deny that he has looked good and is creating opportunities. Is he playing to the best of his ability right now? Absolutely not, but it's not like he is the only player on his line, or like he is the only player on his line not producing. Hudler has a better shot than Flip, and he is a bit more creative offensively. Everything else is either even (passing) or +Flip.

Filppula does a lot more than score.

SCORE! Just checked, it's legit! (Comcast)

I wonder if we'll ever get NHL games.

I've been seriously impressed with Ericsson lately. He's been making good passes out of the zone and solid defensively. Save his fluff pass that resulted in a goal tonight, he's been great.

Smells of 07-08.

Anyone notice how an open Zetterberg had a wide open net when Kronwall shot that puck?

If we played better we'd have like 8 wins in our past 6 games.

Jesus Hudler is slow.

So the top 2 lines tonight are Filppula Datsyuk Holmstrom Franzen Z Hudler Sounds good to me. Hopefully we can get everyone going. If the Modano line ever slows down I think that putting reuniting Clears with Flip and Pav would be a good move.

9 points the last 5 games, I'm okay with it. Edit: Do math I know?

This team is, bar none, the WORST team on the 5 on 3.

There are 20 games for the Pistons on FSD+. They're just being fair.

40 goals!

I'm just sick of the endless commercials.

If that means less Sam Bernstein, I'm all for it. Edit: Oh, I thought this was for FSD. Still the same amount of Sam Bernstein, I'm sure.

Could be a Penguins shirt.

Chick is pretty hot.

Anyone catch Franzen after the goal? "What a F-in great shot!"

Babs is great.
