I'd rather see Leino in...he can shoot, pass and handle the puck with great skill and he works his ass off whereas cleary...well, he works his ass off.

I agree with Barry. For some reason, I think the sharks are gonna go into the playoffs all high and mighty and get upended by the ducks. The ducks always play a good game against the sharks and we've seen first hand that with a little physicallity, it's quite easy to get under the skin of the sharks(I think it was our 4-1 win when we totally had throton off his game). Although I don't know about washington, though I would love to see it happen. I think we have a great chance of repeating because yeah, we haven't played the best this year but for some reason, I still can't see another team beating us 4 times in a matter of a couple weeks.

I support stuart but I think cleary is one of the mot useless players on the team. He does nothing, he'll have golden opportunities, open nets, chances to make a big play and 99% of the time, he blows them.

so, now the season begins.

ozzie looks good ericsson blew it on the first goal, once he stopped following the guy with the puck, he shoulda went straight to ladd wide open in the slot. Hudler also blew it by winding up for a big slapshot when he ned to get a uick accurate shot off.

f*** syaing "shades of orr". That goal is the most overrated goal in the history of hockey he shot it while was standing up and then dove in the air/lost his balance afterwards. It wouldn't be so iconic if the photographer didn't capture the perfect picture of him flying like superman. Franzen's literally shot it WHILE he was airborne and that gets my vote.

great reference.. amazing book and film adaptation as well.

I love the WC jerseys and hope they do rotate them in every now and then. It was also nice seeing Pavs have the A on it as I an I'm sure many others ordered theirs with an A originally even though he didn't have it in the original game.

I'm happy with the deal, glad we've got the mule locked up for his whole career barring a trade in the later years of the contract. My ivestment in a Franzen jersey after the playoffs last season is now secure, very nice.

I love this.... OK, let's talk about you. Pavel Datsyuk has 97 points this season with two games remaining in the regular season... Hmm, maybe let's talk about Osgood again?

abdelkader will retire before chelios.

I don't get this. People don't get mad after one bad goal; they get mad because when he lets in that one bad goal it is a continuation of the extremely below par performance he has put up this year. Yet everyone is like "ohh in your face ozzie bashers!!!" when he has a good game..a...good game. He's played pretty good twice in a row now, great for him, and he had that one little streak about a month ago. Aside from that there have been a couple games here and there only that didn't leave most people disappointed in him. I'm the first to admit, I'm critical when he's bad but I still love the guy, always have, always will but you, I and everyone on this board know that what he has shown this season is far less than we could ever expect of him. I know the D hasn't been the greatest either but that's what a goalie is for, when shots get past the D. With that being said, if he can continue to play like he did today, I have full confidence in him in the playoffs and think we can win the cup without question because that's the Ozzie I know, not this imposter who has been here the majority of the season. Maybe he really just can't get into it mentally untill the playoffs, it doesn't mean enough, who knows, but if he's ready for the playoffs, that's all that matters.

seriously guys, stop complaining, the wings are playing great tonight. Sure shutouts are nice but they don't happen that often nad Ozzy has actually been good tonight.

cleary has such a bad offensive mind. Who the hell drop passes as you'e crossing the blue line?

Hank has to hit the gym, he gets pushed off the puck all game. I've thought this all season.

great goal, great screen and give sammy a break, he got a coule good shots in, nice to see big rig hold his own ina fight, I was wondering how he would do earlier in the game actually.

chelis momentum took him back a little which made him hit the skates because he was very obviously playing the puck, but oh well.

.

reminds me of he old days when Vladdy and guys like Rob Blake would do that stuff all the time. Great hit.

Johan is pissed. This is when he turns from the mule to Franzenstein.

great hit cheli a little bit ago, retarded penalty by Hoss.

I think he will hit 100 in the last game of the season.

cheap trick is one of the greatest bands ever. I've seen them 18 times now and I'm only 22.

cheli was great today, even got a pretty good shot off at one point and made good plays offensively and defensively.
