Think Kovalchuk can learn defense in the time he has left in NJ?

Yeah I meant Pavel getting ready to box. Aw, boo. Ah well. I'll find it one day. Why not make an icon of you being on TV during the Sharks game? Haha.

Somebody should create a pole to see if LGW agrees.

this is the soul that what?

I don't understand how that's a legal trade. Don't the two teams have to match up salary wise to a certain percentage?

Where did you get that avatar pic? That looks hilarious.

How does that equal 7.5mil?

I'm not sure about this myself. Either he wants to be the higest paid athlete in the NHL or he wants to be on a contender. Or maybe both.

Apparently he rejected 101mil.

I was just thinking this today. Someone should make a collection or maybe a top ten of the bad calls the Wings have had against them this year. #1 will undoubtedly be May's goal.

You know how internet forums are. They are the ultimate place for the typical sports fan to unleash their most dreadful emotions after a loss (or win). One unfortunate bounce and all the good things that player did get lost in the fray but sooner or later most gain perspective. Now that's not to say everyone eventually gets into a Filppula love fest. Some users acknowledge his strengths as well as anyone. They just think that the team right now could really use some of the things that Filppula is not as good at (yet) as well as other parts of his game. Did you by any chance watch the Griffins game? How was Lilja?

Yes, thanks a lot. I figured they had to have a system of how to work that all out and that it wasn't just a royal rumble among 29 teams but I had no idea it was specifically like that. Does anyone know that list? That would be really helpful if we were to consider options.

Fil did just fine when he was supposed to be a little more of a shooter on Datsyuk's wing in 07-08. I don't see why he can't put everything in his skill set together.

Question. If all the organizations know that Detroit needs to get rid of certain players, can't they just wait until DET has to place them on waivers so that they can claim them without giving up anything? Like the way LA acquired Quincey? If so then why is there even speculation among the media that DET will have to trade players to free up cap space if they'll likely just lose them for nothing?

It's not gonna get any better unless he keeps shooting. I want him to get better and so I'm going to expect to witness a lot of sucky shots from him until he gets the hang of it.

Overall, he did a lot of good things out there and he just needs to build on his performance against ANA. If he continues to build on the rate in which he shoots the puck and stays with it then I'll be happy. A couple of unfortunate bounces shouldn't cloud his whole performance.

My vote.

I'm actually just happy that he's shooting.

Zetterberg against Anaheim earlier this year.

Haha, geez. Based on the hate I've read for Paul Crosty, he should've beaten him up.

Apparently he had a good game for the Griffins tonight.

Anybody watching the game? How's he doing?

That is so cool! Jea-lousssss.
