nooooo.... for real?

Is it just me, or do I hear a little Dan Aykroyd?

HA! No s***?

Are we to assume Abdelkader won't be part of the lineup tonight?

It's my impression that Jonathan is a very capable two-way defenseman. I don't see him as being of the "Brian Rafalski" mold, he's not going to rush the puck up the ice all that much. He will however, make a clean outlet pass and is more than competent in the offensive zone. His struggles this year, in my opinion, are being exagerated. Thirteen points in thirty-five games is anything but disappointing. Hell, if he were on pace to play 70 games this year we'd be talking 26 points total, 8 points shy of his career high last year in one more game played. As mentioned he's suffered several injuries already this year, no doubt of the lingering variety. If anything, his play is a testament to the refinement of his game, something one would expect from a forward turned defenseman only several years ago.

Sorry? There was little more he could have done. J-HO played fine during his call up, I wouldn't write him off just yet. BTW, I LOVE "HOT EXCEL ACTION"!

Impressive game by Howard.

It's interesting to note that Fleischmann was once a Wings prospect. He brought Robert Lang to town, nice to hear he's doing well in Washington. I seriously doubt we see any major moves at the deadline, if any. I like Backstrom but in all honesty, if we're talking Minnesota goaltending, I'd prefer Harding. Interesting article, is Muir the same tool that suggested stripping Detroit of its Hockeytown title?

Larsson = ANIMAL

Yes, and your insight is much appreciated.

Interesting. Mrs. Ilitch, are you listening?

That was all Lilja. ALL LILJA!

According to MLive, Conklin will get the start today in Calgary. Nice GDT.

Helm with two? What up kid?

Speaking of Matthias, his stats with Rochester of the AHL. 17 GP 3G 1A -17 Just sayin'.

HA! How can Stamkos legitimately make this claim?

Mike Richter

i'm watchin this on justin.tv, anyone else hear hossa's hurt

I absolutely dig how Hossa celebrates a goal.

Does anyone know if FSN will reair the game sometime this morning.

it's more of "an eye for an eye" mentality. you take a run at one of mine and i'll put one of yours through the boards. i agree though. Pronger = Total ******

all in fun.

so, does this qualify as "cup hangover"?

precautionary, at the moment the injury "appears minor".

MLive Malik, generally is on top of his stuff. Take it for what it's worth, just happy it was evident it wasn't an eye.
