that was awesome! thanks for the post.

most definitely. no need for me to go on.

first of all i am no fan of jason spezza. i was merely pointing out just how insanely frustrated that team has become and i was using spezza fighting as an example because the guy never fights. daniel alfredsson isnt a bad captain because he is a euro but instead because he is way too quiet. sure you could say he leads by example but right now during this tremendous slump he isnt carrying this team. rob ray a former ottawa senator told tsn last week that alfredsson lacks leadership in the room and that there isnt anyone there who will speak up. the team is a mess right now because of the emery situation among other internal problems and this would be the perfect time for a leader to take control in that room because bryan murray sure as hell isnt doing it. nick is a fairly quiet leader but he leads by example and we have the luxury of having other veterans (kris draper, chelly, i could go on but we all know who i mean) who will smack someone upside the head. alfredsson just doesnt have what it takes to wear the C.

anyone watching the blackhawks feed? what was going on there with the shaving cream and throwing stuff at cars??? i had it on mute.

sopcast isnt working right now so you might need TVUplayer to watch the wings game. im watching pit/phi and as of now sopcast is down.

if i paid those crazy prices and suffered through their endless problems i would definitely be in a panic too. just in case people in here dont know, there are ways to watch the games online with streams for free. ive been using these streams for over a year and the quality differs with each game from awesome to decent but hey its better than nothing. PM me and ill give you the details if youre desperate or interested.

bring em on! give us the ducks for all i care. i am extremely confident in this team and i feel like we cant be beaten. i want to beat the best on the way to the stanley cup so line em all up! GO WINGS!

awesome article, thanks for the post. on another note im here in ottawa where the temperature is still hovering around 0 and there is like 5 feet of snow still on the ground and DaKineMaui's sig just rubs it in! argh!

if youre wondering why the sens suck so much go to tsn.ca, close your eyes and click. i guarantee you will hit something saying wow isnt it amazing how much the sens suck. i watch all their games and it has become an absolute comedy of errors. they make so many defensive mistakes its insane and right now theyre gripping their sticks too tight and are having 0 luck. JASON SPEZZA fought last night. the night before he went on tsn saying "bulls***! bulls***! everyone in this room is trying their asses off!" when asked if their poor performance was due to lack of effort. the team is in shambles and alfredsson is the worst captain ever. here's to hoping washington takes third, carolina gets 8th and ottawa and boston get put out. if ottawa must make it then i hope they get 3rd so they play ovechkin and he continues to make a mockery of them and i get to be in attendance.

that was my all time favourite thread on LGW. the creativity of some people blew my mind!!!!

he went on at length about how he wants to retire a leaf and how he spoke to borje salming about that and borje told him he has always regretted that he did not retire in toronto. i cannot imagine him anywhere else and like previously stated he definitely only wants one year contracts. i wouldnt be surprised if he retired this summer but if not he will be with the leafs because fletcher wants him back. although who knows? maybe the new gm wants nothing to do with him (this man would be an absolute idiot) and he just retires.

i like malone but his dad played in pittsburgh and when he was a kid and i think he has some pretty deep roots there and he is also a fan favourite. the guy has scored almost 30 goals and will likely want 4 million on the open market because plugs like bertuzzi and hartnell got that and have done less. the guy fights when he needs to, scores and is good defensively so i dont think 4m is that far fetched and for that price i dont want him.

had me for a second there because i have no idea what day it is haha. all that aside the advertisement thing is being talked about and months ago they said it would start with goalies and hasek and brodeur were the ones who pushed the hardest to see their jerseys for adspace. they even had a prototype with prudential written up and down the sleeves of brodeurs. cant remember where i saw it, but that is no joke.

haha yeah im definitely kidding but still i guess youre right

i recently made an adjustment to that famous deke and my scoring has quadrupled. i realized that after that movie EVERYONE expects a triple, so i do 2.5 and score on the backhand. its completely unstoppable but doesnt have such a catchy name.

caps win and stay in the thick of the race. please make it the boston bruins who miss the playoffs. after the islanders they are probably the most boring team to watch and other than lucic and chara i dont care for anyone on their roster. leafs are officially out...ahhhh i miss watching my other team in the post-season! i honestly dont even remember what its like so i might go watch some old highlights of them dominating the sens. i think ill start with nieuwendyk v lalime. good thing we got the good kronwall (even though that was DEFINITELY offside)

JESUS CHRIST. i win.

a lot has been made about babcock not knowing toughness and i tend to agree. does anyone have a link to an article or something where he explains himself on this issue? why is he so against players who can fight? downey shows admirable restraint on the ice and fights when necessary, he helps get goalies off their game and although he cant handle the puck worth a damn he doesnt seem to be a huge liability so why not keep him in the lineup? i guess hartigan is a decent centre and maybe theyre hoping he will be the defensive conscious of the 4th line? but drake is a pretty good defensive forward...just thinking about our 4th line makes my head hurt. please someone show me babcocks thinking on this.

thats something ive always liked about LGW. the board is very well moderated and there arent many stupid inane posts like "F*$& the F#*@(!*# red wings because they suck" or anything and for the most part its possible to have an intelligent debate where people can be realists and not just homers. p.s. jiggy's equipment is ridiculous and in the SCF last year he admitted in an interview that was broadcast during one of the games that his brothers all laugh at him because he isnt the least bit athletic and he is still somehow a professional athlete. he then went on to admit that his game is totally based on making himself big and positioning (EXACTLY like the article on allducks says). why cant ducks fans just admit that their goalie is cheating and just laugh at how theyre getting away with it!? oh and anyone who says he is an MVP is out of their mind.

wow that pj stock fight was insane! love it, good post.

off the top of my head the greek god youre thinking of is hermes i think? i may be wrong on that but i think thats the messenger one or something. either way that is awesome! i love that idea.

redfx here it is SOPCAST: sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/36450

hello all, in case no one posted links to the game here they are. SOPCAST: sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/36450 and here is a super weak justin.tv link that i think someone is broadcasting with a webcam but for those who dont want to sopcast and are super desperate here you go. http://www.justin.tv/rattlesnake67

damn right! i have definitely been cheering for them and since there is no shootout in the playoffs i wouldnt mind playing them. it would be completely crazy though if they somehow make the playoffs and they really do have a decent chance.

i wish they would move sammy to the second line or something and put cleary or franzen on dats and zetta's wing, i just hate seeing sammy's stupid face.
