    3/30 GDT: Oilers 4 at Red Wings 5

    This was my first thought as well. I thought it was hilarious; like he was trying not to trip on the puck. Nice to steal the win after that collapse

    DET-PIT Post-Game Discussion

    It's not Gunnar's fault. He had the hot's for Julie and didn't want to beat her. That's why he defected to the US, changed his name to Scott, learned to goaltend and made Varsity at Eden Hall in an attempt to get into her pants.

    I really like Darren Helm, especially after bailin that one out. I really hope he keeps growing as a player and improving.

    Kanye weighs in on the Crosby Shootout . . .

    A few things to consider 1 - The move Dats is best known for is NOT the Linus Omark move. Dats did the Omark move in the Chicago shootout this season (as seen in the Dats/Bert vid posted) 2 - The real 'signature' Datsyuk move is the one he is shown pulling on Turco in the OP's pic. 3 - He's done that 'signature' move twice in NHL shootouts, and once on a breakaway in regular NHL game conditions (on Turco) Point 3 in my opinion makes Dats' move better than any other shootout move, especially any move from a skills competition.

    12/14 GDT: Coyotes 2 at Red Wings 3

    My bad... always happens. Whenever I get a bit of time to watch it while i'm at work, I get the stream up, we get scored on.

    Wings RBK Jersey from China

    Well Jack has some of the 92 Throwback jerseys ala this Probert jersey There is Howe, Lindsay and Lidstrom as well. Being only 6 when these came out, how close to original are they? I'd love if they brought out an Yzerman one, but i'm also after a Lids one as well. being his rookie season, did Lids play in one of these?

    Detroit has won 44 Stanley cups.

    I think this is simply a typo on the numpad of a keyboard. 1 and 4 are on the same vertical line of keys and working in accounting I have hit 4 instead of 1 and vice versa plenty of times. Shows you should always proofread your work!

    More russians to red wings?

    Whatever happened to Gunner Stahl? After that loss to team USA at the Junior Goodwill Games he faded into oblivion. Actually while we're on it, you reckon Julie "The Cat" Gaffney could solve our goaltending issues?

    Wings RBK Jersey from China

    Well I did bite the bullet and go for one of these from Jack and they are really really good now. Only thing is the back lettering is slightly off and the red outline of the D but everything else is fantastic and great quality. I can forgive the couple of small inaccuracies (as opposed to the numerous on the old ones). Also, lightinthebox has Zetterberg winter classic jerseys up for US$29 if anyone is interested. They just have the stock nhl.com photo up.

    Wings RBK Jersey from China

    Now, for a fake that looks a lot better than the ones with numbers on the sleeves - obviously some things are still not right but the proportions are good with lettering and the red stripe so i think i may look at getting one of these

    Wings RBK Jersey from China

    I don't disagree with what you're saying. I'm NOT buying a cheap knock off for the reason that it's not accurate. Accuracy does mean a lot to me so if i could I would spend the coin for the real deal. Unfortunately i can't, so what is wrong with looking around for accurate knock offs? All I was saying is that Jack's WC jersey has too many things that are inaccurate for me to purchase one. The original lightinthebox jerseys were much closer to the real deal than Jack's WC jersey which was why i expressed my woe as to how i wish they were an accurate knock off at that price. However, they're not so i'll move on

    Wings RBK Jersey from China

    I was so close to ordering a WC from Jack but after comparing i just couldnt bring myself to do it with all the differences to a real one. The red band is too low so the WC patch and the C/A are too far away from it. The name on the back is too small and once again too far away from the red. And while i was willing to accept the sleeve numbers and the lining around the D, the combination of all the elements put me off. Which really sucks because id be willing to pay for a customized authentic from sportsk, if the Aussie dollar wasn't rubbish at the moment. I wish i could overlook the differences but my jersey purchasing has followed the following pattern: 1 - Red blank from the markets in Melbourne (fake CCM) 2 - White Starter blank from ebay 3 - white Dats with lettering similar to Jack's website (arched regular shaped letters) 4 - red Rbk Premier Zetterberg from ebay - letters in right font but slightly smaller and on a patch 6 - white Rbk Premier Dats from sportsk #6 is the one i always reach for out of the closet. Has anyone ordered a red Cheli from lightinthebox? If they can get the lettering close to right like the first run of Zetterbergs i might give that a shake. Once again, poor AU$ playing a factor.

    I got a cheap jersey from ebay (my first) that was similar to the ones in the pics posted from this site which was a 48 and it was about the same size as a Medium Rbk Premier, so i would think these replicas might be the same.

    Osgood is the worst starting goalie in the league

    I don't get this comment. The whole point of a Sv% statistic is to take into account the number of shots to help a goalie's stats. For example, someone might let in 4 goals but if they were barraged with 60 shots that explains that the goalie was under pressure. 4 goals from 16 shots is terrible on the other hand and would be reflected in their Sv%. High Sv% = stopping the majority of shots. Doesnt matter which games Ozzy draws his job is to stop the puck and while he is definitely a serviceable starter, he is not at a level where he can bail us out on a regular basis (heaven forbid if need be).
