Oh my God that's right... Those lines... Ugh...

Sigh... On paper the team seemed so good. Now the #3 defenseman won't have such a great start to the season...??

The 3 on 3 OT is interesting. One forward and two dmen or two forwards and one dman? I feel like I'd ice this trio right here to start:

As he had his feed more established he usually had games up a day or so after the game iirc. It's an incredibly luxury for us Wings fans.

When was the last time LGW had a thread that just got derailed so badly?

Where did you hear that? Any chance you got a link?

Do teams still have an incentive to win a shootout then?

If you had to pick a skilled line to be within your bottom six, would you rather have Hudler-Modano-Cleary of 2010 or Robitaille-Larionov-Holmstrom of 2002?

Today I remembered that the last few minutes of Game 3 against the Avs in 08 was one of the best I've seen in terms of closing out a game. I tried to watch it but it always stops at around the 73:55 point. How come this happens?

I'm not even sure what the hell he's talking about.

Kindl's RWC article immediately after the 05 draft:

Does anybody here selectively watch Nick Lidstrom every time he's on the ice? As in, to the point in which they notice all the subtleties that have made him the best for years?

Not really. It's just what some stars do that makes them think they'll play better if they have that "new guitar feel" depending on their need. It's kind of like how Allen Iverson would change into a new pair of shoes every quarter or something like that.

Ooh watch it there. He does play defense; just not in a prime Draper kind of style with supreme tenacity.

Now his guitar smells.

God I hope not. It wasn't all that interesting or fun the first time and the second time the dynamic was just so freeking boring. I look back on the Avs rivalry and think, "God... damn, I hated those bastards. But at the very least, you can't hate somebody that much and say they're not interesting." From an entertainment point of view I really hope that doesn't happen. But of course, I definitely want the Wings to be in the finals again, . Good old fashioned Western toughness. That's pretty much it, right?

I think ESPN will have a new channel for "decisions" when it involves teams with rivalries. Asham will have his own one hour special and drop hints such as "Yinz know me!" until he makes the official announcement at the 53 minute mark, "I'm going to take my talents to southwest Pennsylvania".

Sure you don't want to take that back? I seem to recall a similar proclamation in the late summer of 2009. Maybe you'll just do the go-around until you find the perfect situation. It is... Your destiny.

Has this been a nice little entertainment break from studying?

Nice little dialogue tidbit there.

Maybe Tobi needs to slew foot somebody from behind, conduct a between periods interview and then just smile and say, "That's just me being competitive".

That's the spirit! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Sigh... We really need the regular season to start. Now.

Wasn't that Krupp? Mr. Dogsledding?

Guess it's extra motivation for Z to have a really good season next year.
