His playoff performance last year was a little disappointing. Yes, he did suffer a fairly traumatic hit. The sight of your own blood will do that to ya. Did that make him relatively invisible for the rest of the playoffs? If so then that makes it a little too easy for other teams to limit his effectiveness.

Obviously they got more speed with the Bear-Pav-Mule line. Hopefully that was all it was and nothing along the lines of Homer being injured again or just not playing hard enough.

Well he's coming back. Sooner or later most people will just have to accentuate the positives of his.

Question about Zetterberg. Anybody think that he'll ever have a regular season like Henrik Sedin's this past year? I know he wants a 50 goal season. If he ever reaches that goal then I would imagine that year he would have to be well over 100 points. If that were to ever happen then I would imagine he'd get the Selke trophy too. It's tough though to watch the Wings lately during the regular season because on most games they look like they're just pacing themselves for the playoffs. With that approach in mind, it seems like a 50 goal season won't happen for him.

Yeah who's supposed to be checking him? If it's supposed to be Alfie then I'm actually shocked.

Every once in a while I think it'd be nice for the fans to chant Jimmy/Howie-Ozzie or something along those lines because Osgood has done a great job looking out for Jimmy.

Yeah they'll probably get rid of Giggy in a few years anyways. Plus, I'm sure The Monster's heart problems factored in a little.

According to a certain Vancouver tin foil hat, Bettman wants a final four of Washington, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles and Chicago. But I digress. I would imagine that Wings fans feel as if the Wings would have an easier match up if Chicago were in the way. Nashville is always tough. Boring, yes. But more of a challenge to DET as well. `

Anyone remember similar moments to this one? Of course, Burish's commercial. Cody's shameless throwing of the octopus into his own bench... . Don't know what he was thinking then. Last year, against Anaheim, Pronger touch the octopus when on the ice. That's just off the top of my head. Any others?

They not like The Monster anymore or is it just a depth move?

You killed him... Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?

I'm happy for the offense that Hudler will be back. I just hope it doesn't that Filppula won't get anymore power play time. Consistent power play time.

How have the results not been leaked as spoilers for fans?

Yeppers.

Yup. And the NHL is starting to show symptoms of a similar progression.

Haha... Before I clicked on the thread I thought the OP meant Mike Richards. I was all... .

Plus the refs said he had intent to kick.

Awesome sound bite from Jimmy that fans love to hear: Way to go Jimmy!! Keep it up!

Anybody remember the match ups between both teams lines? Did Zetterberg get Fiddler again and so forth?

Here you go!

So how does it "work"? I mean, what if someone were to throw an octopus at a Coyotes player? Would that "work"?

Naw... Hossa??? Hmm. That can't be right.

Haha. That looks like someone randomly photoshopped his mask in there.

The highlights on NHL.com kind of made it look like he had a decent game. This video was just recommended to me by YouTube: Yeesh.

Starring Dion Phaneuf right?
