I like the 3 point game. It's good for teams that might not make the playoffs and it makes the beginning of the season more relevant. I think it also reduces risk of injury and it allows teams to play different styles. It adds an extra element of strategy and it's entertaining. I guess it encourages skill over physical play. I don't think it takes much away from a regulation win. You can likely expect the team with more regulation wins to do better in the playoffs than the team that stacks up points in shootout wins and OT losses. Lots of playoff games go into some serious overtimes though anyway. So these teams that are stacking up the OT losses are still proving something on the ice for those nights. 3 points for a regulation win? I guess I don't see the extra points for a regulation win meaning anything come playoff time. It's kind of like the team that loses in regulation loses some points. It would make things weird, especially for back to back games and the variations in schedules. A regulation win and an overtime win are the same in the playoffs. Teams are guaranteed 82 games in regular season anyway. I guess the shootout point says something about the unpredictability of playoff overtime games. Maybe it's too much of a reward for a shootout but then there are some playoff losses where the losing team played really awesome and gets nothing. It also keeps the goalies playing good.

note to self: hope the sharks get stuck with the Flames in the playoffs!

anyone have the nash columbus stream?

I think this is it for moves.

6 minutes

Oh no!

Go Ericsson!

Hey, eff you.. The civil war is over and your state is land bound.

Rinne just turned around in net.......... wow this is bad.

This game is the destroyer of worlds.

Do you believe in miracles? Mint chocolate chip

Yep, they just played the Rick Roll song...

Did you guys see that Miss March movie commercial and think of the guy that gave up sex to see this game? hahaha

Oh, I get it. It's a tribute to Lidstrom! HaHAhAHAahah

Is this real life?

Haha, yeah. A defense man will take him out for cheering after a goal like a soccer player! Ovie is a franchise guy though. You never hit a franchise guy. Funny though.

Does anyone have a link to tonights San Jose Sharks vs. Montreal Canadians game?

This is awesome. What a nice and inspiring story.

A win. Ozzie played good and the defense backed him up. Still no hat tricks!! Someone needs to chant "roast beef" and "sandwich"at a game. Anyone have any pictures of the on ice dog parade?

He looks like Zoidberg from Futurama.

Start of a 6 game win streak. Wings 4-1.

Lappy would be awesome. This guy kicks serious ass. You'd probably have to trade a pick and a prospect but you could do it since the Wings are pretty stacked in Grand Rapids and need to move some players anyways.

Pronger would be awesome but would he be good as a Wing? Besides he's way too expensive. Why not Ian Laperriere? This guy is an enforcer and is plays good against the Wings. He wasn't afraid to take it to Lidstrom last season. He could be this seasons Dallas Drake only more awesome.

Get Hasek out of retirement. He will be good!

Clearly the wrong call.
