Heart huh? Nice little Hollywood message there.

Just wanted to check on the Red Wings power play numbers and get some thoughts. It's kind of hard to ask questions and not sound like a Complainy Pants but here goes. To this day (12/18/10): 9th in the league in PP% at 21.3% 7th in PP goals scored 10th in opportunities Both the Wings PP and PK are within the top ten. So, overall, for the Red Wings standards, not great, not necessarily good or bad, but rather decent, I'd say. But even "decent" to me is somewhat surprising because the power play just hasn't looked very good at all. It seems like they're really struggling to maintain any kind of pressure. On one hand, a small part me is glad that for the most part they are not relying on their power play to bail them out of games. On the other hand, you always want the team to be good at everything whether it's ES, PP, PK, etc. So what's the deal with their PP? Too many guys trying to be playmakers? Not being dominant enough on the puck? Not working hard enough?

Has anyone noticed a difference in the way the main power play unit performs now that Z is in the middle and not Pav? Seems like they have a lot more movement and passing. No? I think that maybe sometimes the other guys just get to standing around waiting for Pav to make a move.

It's a trap. Run ZDC, Run!!!

Ridiculous shot both times. Especially the one against the Coyotes.

I like that Fil is trying to shoot the puck. I'm not crazy about how he either got blocked or missed the net entirely. But, all in all, I hope he doesn't stop shooting.

Sweet! Any noted observations of him would be awesome. Anything at all.

Callahan playing?

Isn't that the only thing in the way of Osgood in the rafters is the hall of fame?

His new haircut sucks. He should go back to the Jesus look.

You can google that I'm sure. But won't you have to set foot in Pittsburgh to do it?

And probably smells better. Hi-yooooooo.

Only had about 6:55 of TOI last night but that was still more than Draper.

Zuh?

Hold the refs accountable for their actions???

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised on how he got this win. He's gotten a lot of them where he perhaps needed a soft goal to sharpen him up mentally.

How in the bloody hell is Lidstrom not one of the three stars?

We're getting a little too happy about something that hasn't happened yet. I'm sure Bettman will call up his Illuminati/Skull and Bones connections and have them manipulate the weather.

Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie!

So... 4 Power Play goals in one game. Haha. I'm liking the all-Swedish power play 5 man unit btw. Franzen-Zetterberg-Holmstrom Lidstrom-Kronwall
