Apparently the league is in really good shape. That is, financially. Therefore in theory their marketing skills are just fine. I guess that's all that matters.

...Must... Destroy... Gutless ******...

Those guys probably haven't sold their souls to the Illuminati.

I feel like there's not enough traffic on LGW right now and so I'm going to post a video that may or may not instigate some irrationality. This is my little experiment to see if it's any fun to be like a Carmen or an Eva on here. @ 1:46 - "You're ******* dead!" Did he get suspended? Nooo, of course not. Discuss.

To me, Him and Williams always looked like your typical Abercrombie and Fitch wanna be ****** bags.

Actually, I hope they do write off the Red Wings. I know they say they don't pay any attention to that stuff but a little fuel to the fire can't hurt, right?

He might be the guy that they're "trying to kill" as Babs said a couple years ago when remembering Cleary's tryout and then Leino's. Or, in nicer words, the guy that they're really trying to test to see how good he is. Ritola and probably a couple others, I'm sure.

It seemed like Zanetti is close to a contract as well after his training camp performance. What about Archibald? I'm sure the Enforcer Groupies want to know the status of him.

Sloppy seconds.

What?

This is a town that probably still has people who think Ben Roethlisberger is innocent. Just disregard and ignore anything they say because it's worthless.

Gary Bettman: I'm going to take my talents to the KHL. Haaaa-ley-loo-yah.

Hope Bert or someone does it again.

Anyone else want to swing a spiked bat at Orpik's knees? Create holes that are just big enough to stick an m-80 in each one.

Wait a second... The Pens are playing dirty? No way... They've never done that before.

My God you're a machine...

Major props to George Malik for generating so much line excitement with an extensive writeup! http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/a2y/comments/heading_back_to_hockeytown_shortly_and_a_scattershot_recap_of_the_red_vs_wh/

Datsyuk, I think.

And I was so excited... http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/a2y/comments/heading_back_to_hockeytown_shortly_and_a_scattershot_recap_of_the_red_vs_wh/ Bertuzzi and Franzen spent a good chunk of their time on the ice talking to each other to try and work out where they were supposed to be in the offensive zone to support Filppula, who was darting up and down the ice, darting back and forth irrespective of his linemates’ positions. That’s a problem, because, as Pleiness noted in an earlier conversation with Ken Holland, the Wings want Filppula to step forward without turning into a defensive liability, and that’s what he is right now: The irony of watching that line work for me is that Bertuzzi and Franzen have taken turns playing as snipers or power forwards who battled their way to the net as Filppula darted in and out of traffic looking to set both players up with passes, and as we all know about Fil, that’s a problem in more ways than one. First, Filppula has yet to embrace the concept that he needs to shoot the puck on a regular basis, and as a center with two big bulldozing wingers, he’s going to have to shoot the puck at the net and let chaos unfold… And, put simply, Todd Bertuzzi’s most effective when he knows he should go to the front of the net and stay there unless he’s going into the corners to shovel pucks back to his center, defenseman, or the resident sniper on the line, Franzen, and thus far, Bertuzzi’s been able to indulge in his back-passing, backhand-shooting and spin-o-rama-prone tendencies, more and more as each practice and scrimmage progressed. I’m one of those weird people who really likes the way Todd Bertuzzi 2.0 plays as a two-way forward who actually backchecks and shows up to play every night, but for both Filppula to break through offensively and Bertuzzi to cause as few expletives tossed his way by Wings fans as possible as he tries too hard to will back a deftness of puck-handling skill that he simply could never really control, both players need to simplify their game, and they need to get on the same page with each other to succeed. All Johan Franzen needs to get going is a puck on his stick and somebody to tick him off.

Yeah not a bad pic. I kind of prefer this one.

I meant what is going to be the next generation? The next main scoring line of an era. No one has any idea at this point, really. I'd like to say that it could be something like Tatar-Sheahan-Whoever but if they make the NHL then their careers will probably coincide too much with Z's and Mule's lifetime contracts.

That's a closer match up? Huh... Those two probably think they can just run over Pav and Z but I don't think so.

Z is such a liar, haha. No way he beats Pavel 60% of the time. Any of you guys buy that? I think it's Pavel-55%, Z-45%. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUPFmIYUBrI

I kinda hope Matt Cooke is playing but it's a double edged sword. If he's out there then a lot of the Wings' good players are at risk. But I kind of want him to play because Downey is going to play and I want Downs to run him out of the game. Not gonna lie.
