T.Low

Listening to the game form the NHL.com wxyt feed (I'm in Washington state, 60minutes south of the Vancouver Kanuckleheads) they made it sound like Osgood was making a lot of great saves. Then I watched the highlights on NHL.com and he was definitely quick as a cat in the clips I saw. Kronner's goal was great: intersepting the clear out lob with his glove hand and feeding himself the puck for a slapper. Sweet. There's more than a few Wing's fans here in the beer leagues. Can't wait till they spank the Kanuckleheads.

I expected St. Louis to improve but didn't expect them to win 4 out of their first 5 games. I expected Zetterberg to be his awesome self, but I must admit that I am pleasantly and proudly suprised that he leads the NHL at the moment. My biggest disappointment was covered on another thread: that Darren McCarty is no longer in the NHL and the rough turns his life has taken in the last few years. Talk about a guy that stands up for his teammates.

Makes me think of my own lame ass hat trick: 7 colleges, 7yrs of college, 1 2yr. degree.

Great game. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it tied 2-2 when Downey Downed Mclaren? Then the Wings went on to win 4-2. : Hmm, well waddya think about that... Yeah Baby!

You mean 9 minutes a game: 4 TOI + 5 in the sin bin!

"IF" Grigs is outta shape like the reports says he is, and its because of the accident and not because he's lazy, then two more weeks in GR isn't really going to help, is it? He's just kinda screwed from the accident and thats that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, here, but when I look at his career numbers , its not like Grigorenko has been lightin' the lamp like a scoring machine. I mean, his numbers are good , but definitely not great. Therefore, I guess the Wing's scouts see an awful lot of unrealized potential that they think can be groomed similar to the Datsyuk and Zetterberg processes. The Wings have obviously been great at drafting talent before it blossoms and is then seen by every other team too.. That seems to be the case with Grigorenko too, but for various reasons, it may not pan out. I have no expectation that Grigorenko will contribute any real numbers this year. Believe me, I would like to be pleasantly suprised, but I don't expect to be. I think many have gotten emotionally attatched to the image of Grigs created by all the hype, and are now frustrated and feel letdown.
