Hartigan, you cant use your stick like that. Smarten up.

To be expected. Have we had 1 goaltender interference penalty go our way this season?

Someone needs to tell the Wings that the goals dont have to be pretty, they just have to go in the net.

Need to be better in the 2nd. Mac needs some ice, I want to see a couple fights. (Lilja thats means YOU!)

Account is suspended till April 8th. Couldnt take not being able to talk about fights and the Wings for a whole month

Not to worry, the Wings will win this game. It's probably the biggest crowd all season, gotta win it.

Hard for me to watch too, but imagine how that feels as a player? We havent won in a cup in 6 years. This is gonna be our year, it has to be.

I cant take this again as a fan, The Wings as players definately cant. We're going all the way this year.

Gonna be a good one tonight I hope. I really dont like Hartigan being in over Downey, this is the kinda game where St Louis will take liberties, I have a bad feeling this one will bite Babs in the butt. But with Toivenen in net, we're gonna roll the Blues over tonight. 6-1

Sammy out the rest of the regular season? Nice, we get to see some more of Downey and Mac, maybe even together.... but it looks like if everyone is on schedule, we'll be 100% for Game 3 of the playoffs?

That wouldnt be such a bad thing. Lots of good, tough, big players there. They can fight in the NHL...

Totally!

If he wins, or draws. And were up by a goal or 2, I bet the Joe gives him a long, looong ovation.

Cool, I hope the Remparts arent too affected by having empty buildings. Fans love fights, if you ban them, thats a joke. I love the QMJHL, you cant ban fighting. It's one of the best parts of hockey and the fans love it. Really sucks that the St Johns Fogdevils have to move to Quebec, now my favorite team wont be as good. Really too bad. But hey, not like anyone makes fun of the french for being soft.. oh wait. (Nothing towards the french, just banning fighting makes me sick.

Thats a shame, was really looking forward to the Leafs playing the Habs in the first round. Well, I hope the Caps make it at Phillys expense now.

Toronto Maple Leafs Down 3-1 to Boston with 8 minutes to go, the nice story book ending is done.

So he'll probably be ready for next season. Sweet, not like it's taken anything away from his game.

Mark Mowers - Poster boy for team toughness

Petr Sykora and Miro Satan just had the biggest wussy fight I've seen in a while. A ton of gloved punches, and when the mits came off, the shields stayed on and they started playing Smackdown vs Raw.

Would've been a nice story, but they blew it. But they cost Anaheim a decent pick, and now Nashville are probably gonna grab the 8th spot.

The Ducks may not even get the 4th seed. They have to play Dallas and San Jose a couple more times this year, and are without Pronger, Perry, Giguere and Getzlaf. As for the playoffs, if were healthy, we can beat anyone in the West.

Hartigan playing over Downey against the Blues? Mike Babcock you never surprise me, he may be the best coach in the NHL, but he doesnt know toughness at all. Great to see Mac playing, and I cant say i'm disappointed about Sammy being out. All this news is good news for me, hopefully Homer and Stuart will be good to go for the playoffs.

He'll fight on occasion if he ever becomes a regular, but not an enforcer per say.

Important 2nd line center, franchise goalie. There as done as you can get, someone needs to step up, or Nashville has them.

I still say with no bias, Lidstrom should be MVP. I mean it's great that AO broke all the Caps goal records, but lets face it, the Caps are a pretty shabby hockey team. If he was truely the MVP, he could get his team to the playoffs. Lidstrom, on the other hand, has his team set in stone for the playoffs. He has 66 points in 71 games as a defenceman, and is a +41. I know he wont win it, but he should. The Vezina is a no brainer, Brodeur. No one has been as good as him this year Luongo has been good, but stuck on a bad team. Nabakov has a ton of wins, but adequate stats for a Vezina winner. If one of Ozzie or Hasek had actually had 55+ games, they could be there. But as it stands, Brodeur.
