Amen. Lock down the young guns, figure out the goalie situation, and I'm wholly fine with letting Hossa go.

If Howard is in a Wings sweater next year, I will be very disappointed. He simply doesn't have it at an NHL level.

Oh HELL YEAH! Guys, I had surgery this morning. Keep it UP!

Amen. Boring for both sides.

Penalty shot, even. They'll come back. Methinks they're going to come out PISSED.

One vote for the AMRAAM. Bit more deadly- can't hide near as easily.

Scenics, all the way. US 250 Southbound is one of the prettiest drives around. Purple or green?

Or a -5 for the series.

I like 52. He plays like a football linebacker, may as well have an appropriate number. Either that, or something we don't have any of... say, 68 or 79.

That is possible. In the playoffs you'd want him in the best condition you could get, so not a drop. You never offer alcohol to a recovering alcoholic. It's cruel. Remember when they dumped the champagne out of the Cup and refilled with with Gatorade for McCarty?

No, I'm Andreas Lilja!

Ummm... CLEARY!

Mediocre. I think they overachieved getting to this point.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... nachos.

Simon. Shoestring fries or steak fries?

I'd been calling for Hudler-Hossa-Helm for a while, just because I like nameable lines- the "Triple-H" line was too good to resist.

There was, loud and clear. I can't count the number of times I've had to study during a game, and just cranked up FSN for audio while I was in another room. It's either FSN or Ken Kal, both of which are can't-miss.

No no no... it's supercooled alcohol. He's good down to -125F, if I remember correctly. As for the HoF, no way can they keep him out, especially if there are 8 more wins this year. He's been called "the worst goalie to win 2 Stanley Cups", "the worst goalie to win three Stanley Cups", and if they win this year... how many goalies even have 4 Cups? #10- wins amongst all goaltenders. #1- Red Wing playoff wins #2- Red Wing regular season wins #7- Red Wing playoff GAA #7- all-time playoff GAA (50+ games) #10- playoff wins amongst all goaltenders #7- all-time, playoff saves #9- all-time, playoff save percentage (50+ games) #6- all-time, playoff shutouts #11- all-time, playoff time-on-ice #10- all-time, playoff wins (8 wins have him in #8) #12- all-time, overtime wins #15- all-time, regular season saves #23- all-time, regular season shutouts #20- all-time, regular season time-on-ice 2 Jennings Trophies 3 Stanley Cups. No way can they keep him out. Stats courtesy the NHL's website.

Seriously? Dats did everything BUT score.

CLEARY!!!! YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!!!

I don't see a soul making excuses... Besides, watch an interview with O'Halloran sometime- he admits a bias against Detroit.

I'm fine with that grouping. Let's play, already!

[hijack]Love your avatar! Is there a larger version?[/hijack] As for tomorrow, they'll win because they have to. Enough said.

Amen on all counts. I'll see you all for the victory on Thursday night.

LOUD AND CLEAR.
