Way to keep your head up, Big Rig.

What a laser by Pavs.

Damn, Hanzal scores.

Pavel Datsyuk is unreal. He just did a million "little things" on that shift that just blow my mind.

haha, Cheli looked good on that rush.

Nice shot fake by Lidstrom set up Filppula for the scoring chance. Nice save by Brzygalov.

Another bad giveaway by Rafalski. Didn't hurt though.

haha, thanks!

Good positioning by Conks there.

Flip looked real solid in the Wings zone there. He looks like a completely different player when he plays with this much confidence.

Lottery numbers, please?

FLIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good first shift by the ZDC line.

Sounds about right. Babs likes to do that. Nice sig, BTW!

I retract my earlier statement about Steve Mason. He is very good. Damn... Oh, and Rick Nash > World. He kills us. EVERY GAME. I haven't read through the thread, but I'm sure it's awful. I'm sure it's full of complaining about contracts, whining about defensive play, numerous Osgood debates, and loads of hyperbole, so I'm going to refrain.

Perfect post. Thank you!

You're right. I was just referring to the comment about how it would be especially difficult against Mason. But, yeah, I hear you.

He's struggled his last three games. Let's stop acting like this guy is Brodeur.

At least you're open minded. This is such a dumb argument. So, does hockey suck, because it isn't played in South America or Asia? That isn't fair at all. I understand that you don't personally like baseball, but there are people out there that don't like hockey. And I'm assuming that it probably annoys you when someone is so ignorant about hockey, but you're doing the same thing with baseball! That's all I'm saying. I don't want to get into an argument, but it bothers me when someone just brushes off the entire sport of baseball (or hockey).

Nice.

And most of Asia, South America, the Caribbean, etc. Dumb argument.

Well, it sounds like you're married to your opinion, so I'm not going to get into a long, drawn out debate that's going to go nowhere in the end. That all said, baseball is a sport that requires a lot of skill (maybe not pure athleticism, but I can find some examples of some not so great athletes in hockey too) and you're not going to find many people who agree with your opinion that it isn't.

Wait....are you serious? I don't agree with CBS's criticism of hockey, but there's no way you can tell me that you don't need to have an unnatural amount of hand-eye coordination and quick hands to hit a 95-mph fastball. Maybe you don't need to be a pure athlete, but the aforementioned abilities are forms of athleticism. Baseball is most definately not just a game.

Lilja and Datsyuk have stood out to me. I didn't think Datsyuk could be a more complete player than he already was and he managed to do it. He never ceases to amaze me.

Well, if someone offers him a ridiculous contract, we get a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick, so that's something.
