Ah, bless your soul. It shall die a thousand deaths in the next two weeks.

Again, unfortunately, hearsay. Maybe the doc who said it is a Pens fan. Maybe the person who said it made it up. Maybe a thousand things, but NO doctor is dumb enough to compromise HIPAA for something like this.

Very true. Franzen could sue him into oblivion- HIPAA is not something you mess with.

Where's the Mule? I see he's playing, but no production...

Final exam in Behavioral Science on Thursday. God, I'm tired. But it's almost over...

Going from CBC, it looks pretty hopeful he'll start game 1. CBC, updated this afternoon.

Stupid site crash...

Absolutely NOT. I'll buy that he said this. I won't buy for ONE second that it's correct. If there were blood on the brain, Franzen would have been announced as gone long ago. He wouldn't be working out, he wouldn't be traveling, he'd be recovering from surgery. End of story. I'll wager Franzen plays Game 1. They're playing the media at the moment- having Franzen questionable throws a wrench into preparations. How do you prep for a "possible" appearance by one of the leading scorers?

Mine's CCM, thankfully. I hope Toskala got paid well for that commercial.

They're not going to rush him, but since there are no headaches, I'd expect he practices tomorrow and is a very likely start for game 1.

I am the Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon says get the guillotine.

Fourth would be quarternary. *reaction in my house on Drake's goal* GOAL! *pause* Drake? The HELL???

Wings, by virtue of being the better seed and President's Trophy winner. 4 more wins!

Now this is the Red Wings squad I've been waiting for! :D

Rex? WhoTF is that? *puts on his "motivational coach" hat* 1 game. 3 periods. 60 minutes. 60 minutes to win the Western Conference, and a chance at what we came here for. Homer! Get in the crease. Hudler! You're barking like a Big Dog, now BITE. Lids! Cheli! Drake! Malts! Pin them down like sniper fire. Dats! Z! You're on point. Shoot to kill, gentlemen. It's go time.

Yes, and Detroit's coming out firing. They're going to win it, and on to the finals.

Last I checked, the consigliere who let himself get worked up such was shot. Lidstrom is what we need. He's Michael Corleone, now to just get Turco into a cheap Italian restaurant.

What the f*** is wrong with them? They played that game like it's February, not the Western Conference Finals!

Win every shift. Fight hard, and the goals will come. 3-2, Wings.

My error. I thought they were saying faceoff efficiency against each other.

Anybody else notice the faceoff efficiency adds up to 102%?

Beat 'em like they owe ya money, Wings!

Oh, I hope I'm not stuck working. That would SUCK. Come on, Wings. On to victory!

If a team is the favorite, denoted by the - in front, you have to bet that amount to win $100. Thus, betting $260 will get you $360 ($100+260). If a team is the underdog, denoted by the + in front, you win that amount if you bet $100. Thus, betting $100 wins you $220. How do the European odds work? I can't see it, unless that's a goal total.
