I'm just getting over a stiffy

Story of the Wings the last few years: completely outplay the other team and lose by a goal

Well that sucks

That was hilarious. Another Ken-ism, he's great

Time for McCarty to score a game winner!

Franzen is God's gift to women!

Franzen is amazing. Player of the month for the Wings

Why doesn't Bert sue his old team mates? If one of them had hit Moore, Bertuzzi wouldn't have needed to. What was Crawford supposed to do? Bench everyone? Bert, what is your malfunction?

The word is that he is a healthy scratch

Exactly!

Very true; actually if you think about it, Bertuzzi would have never gone after Moore if Moore didn't hit Naslund. Maybe Moore should be sued by Bertuzzi?

Has to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Any respect Bert may have gotten back from fans has been thrown to the wayside. What a ******

Red Wings - 4 Blues - 1 I think McCarty will get the Gordie Howe hat trick. Congratulations on making it this far D-Mac. I can't wait to see you in the Winged Wheel again!!!

Let's say the playoff format changed and the top 10 teams from each conference. That would leave teams like Buffalo, Toronto, Nashville, Edmonton, and Columbus would be on the fringe off the playoffs by just a few points. Then the argument would be brought up again. There is always going to be somebody on the outside looking in.

I like the playoffs just fine the way they are. If a team would play well better in the beginning of the season, they wouldn't have to be making this argument with 4 or 5 games to go. However, if the NHL does decide to allow more teams in, I hope they go to a best of 5 series for the first round. Otherwise the playoffs would take forever.

No way, the whole "scary animal mouth" on the front of a goalie mask has been totally overdone. They all look the same; goes back to the CuJo mask. Goalies need to customize more.

He's also on HD Net when they broadcast NHL games. He was on last night for the Devils vs Rangers game.

My guess is that he will wear it for the rest of the season including playoffs. He can't take another blow to the jaw anytime soon.

Here is the latest and greatest. Basically the "NHL BRACKET 2008" tab is the correct one; i.e. the one with the right outcomes. You fill out the "My Bracket" tab. You can calculate point totals per round. I'm gonna try to keep improving so let me know if sucks or works and all that good stuff. Point Totals: 5 Points for correctly guessing the winner of a round up to 3 bonus points depending on how you guess the # of games outcome. (For every 1 game off of the loser's total, you lose a bonus point). Pretty simple. NHL_Playoff_Bracket.zip

Here is an Excel file bracket I made. Keep in mind that this is a rough draft... NHL_Playoff_Bracket.zip

I'm in

Franzen goal!!! He's on a roll!!!

Another power play oppurtunity; come on guys

I was just gonna say that. All that effort and he didn't do sh*t.

No energy at all; barely got any chances on the power play. Show some heart guys
