Z and D for the C

I really hate the FSN studio team. I don't mind Larry that much, but Mickey York and John Keating bug the s*** out of me. They both talk in EXACTLY the same annoying sort of style. Maybe I could handle one, but not two. Ugh.

But he can still play in games doesn't mean anything to you...?

The Wings WILL win tonight. So far in this series, when their season was on the line, they won. This will be another on-the-line win.

Your manipulation is again excellent. Like I said, you're the best person on this site for completely arbitrarily manipulating the numbers to support your viewpoint all the while making it seem logical when the reality is there is no logic behind your posts. Ever. In the same way you remove his 2 best games, I could say that his playoff Save % is only .014 less than his 4th best regular season Sv% despite have 2 sub par games in his first ever playoffs series while the team hardly played well in front of him. Let's contrast his worst 2 games with his other 4 games, which work out to .938% and...well I don't care enough to do the calculations but you get my point. You can't just randomly take out games and base or support a conclusion off it.

I wasn't worried when Phoenix had the chance to go up 3-1 and 3-2 and I'm not worried now. I have full confidence that the Wings will win tomorrow.

There is no doubt Howard didn't have a good game Sunday. But doing something as stupid and idiotic as arbitrarily taking out his best game to fuel your ridiculous conclusion that Osgood should start game seven doesn't come close to working. If you took out any goalie's best games, he'd suddenly look really crappy. But what else can we expect from you than manipulating numbers to support your inane theories.

I thought he was way younger. I wouldn't be so sure.

What happens if we just idiotically remove his worst game? Howard's numbers if you take out Game 6: Saves/Shots, Sv%: 147/159, .926% GA, Mins, GAA: 12, 297:02, 2.42 SAPG: 32 That's good enough for 5th in Sv% and 7th in GAA! For a rookie, what a champ! Putting Osgood in for game 7 could be the most stupid decision Babcock has ever made.

Who are you so wise in the ways of science?

I'm guessing you already did, but just in case you didn't, I'm calling the Police right now.

Nothing like Ovechkin's hit IMO. Ovechkin pushed Campbell hard into the boards. Hossa didn't even hit him, he just sort of laid a hand on him.

You mean in game 7 right?

Put Osgood in. Just to shake up the wings and give Jimmy a break.

Pheonix is sensing they're in a good position here. They see much that is hidden. Oh. My. God.

He had almost 5 less minutes of TOI in the second than he did in the first.

http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20092010/TH030186.HTM Very weird. Almost 8 minutes in the first and only 3:17 in the second. Maybe Babcock thought he over played him in the first and wanted to give him a rest. The entire second line didn't get much ice time in the second actually.

both PP goals for the Coyotes came with Cleary and Miller on the ice. Can we please be done with that s***ty combination? Our PP was best with Helm/Eaves and Fil/Miller. Get cleary out of there.

If he doesn't defect again.

Zetterberg Datsyuk Filppula

I hope the wings do more this off season than just picking up a defecting midget.

In this stream of negativity, I think it's necessary to note that Franzen sucks. At least when Hossa isn't scoring goals he does other things. Franzen does s***.

I've been saying this all along and I agree 100%. And that last sentence is exactly why I like Flip so much. From his first season here I would watch him play and I saw so much out of him. He reminded me of Datsyuk the way he played and I've always thought he could be a great player.

AT first I thought that puck would have went right through the crease and not go in the net anyway, but that last replay in the video shows the exact opposite. What an incredible, incredible save. Has to be one of the best in the playoffs so far.

He's been leading the team in ice time quite a bit lately. Not sure about the playoffs so far but since had his 8 points in 3 games he got a lot of ice time.

So it's a regular season only rule. Okay, that's fine. But call a spade a spade, NHL.
