I would say no to all of them, for various reasons.

On the CBC post game they had little bits on all the players. Sid said his favorite player growing up was Steve Yzerman. If he only acted like him a little more on the ice everyone would respect him a LOT more.

You make my head hurt with this stuff. Did we not come one goal away from winning the cup in Game 7? And a Cup the year before? It's a war of attrition, people get hurt. And having a "tough guy" on the team doesn't mean Pav's ankle doesn't get slashed, it means we play 4 on 4 for 5 minutes afterward. I will say this....I think we have a few too many "floaters" on this team, who won't give everything every night, but getting a guy just so we can have a few scraps is not the answer. And please, if you are a fan of "Lappy", can we please use his full name? "Lappy" just sounds.....wrong.

Nope. Not at half the price.

Since when is "Nova Fantasy Sports" the "National Media"? And I have seen this post and link in other threads too. Stop it.

They played the whole year without Zubov and Morrow. Give the guy some slack!

Maybe they need to play a period in the afternoon just to get themselves going....

Can we get these idiot Pittsburgh trolls off our boards until after Game 7? I am in no mood to put up with their foolishness. After Game 7 they won't be back anyway.

Well, she is better than Bernie. HD is not kind to that dude.

How much more motivation could this guy need? Obviously he is a world class player. But he has been a playoff bust this year. As someone said above me, he has been a passenger, not a leader. Doesn't deserve leader money. Enough.

Thanks for the CROSBY SUCKS! That will live on for a LONG time

I want the Crosby Sucks chant on MP3 so I can make it a ringtone. Thanks in advance.

I love the delayed reaction to this epic BC two-hander Malts laid on him that almost severed his leg. Tap. Oh, I've been hit. FALL DOWN! Look at Ref. Get up slowly....now hobble to bench. Slower.....come on, sell it....Damn. Still not buying it. What? I'm up again? Ok, no, I'm fine.

Every time Bill Clement called a game a "tilt", I wanted to punch him in the mouth and tell him to stop it.

NBC's coverage of the game sucks. CBC is WAY better. But not in HD. Someone fix this, K? Please?

I think this is an incredibly stupid decision on NBC's part. I will be watching the game on CBC despite the less-than-HD signal we get in Detroit. Their coverage of the game is SO much better, we don't have to suffer with Paul Harvey, I mean Doc Emerick and the Homer Edzo, Pierre the Q-tip and their constant slant toward the other team. Not to mention I watch the game on NBC and they are always cutting away when something happens and they never show what happened until after they come back from commercial, or a promo for some other show. Cover the freakin' GAME.

Our cup is bigger than theirs.

Honestly? I never thought about it once. That, to me, is gravy.

Ozzie has been the man so far. Let's let him finish the job.

Don't they make a steel-toed skate? Please?

Can we send a couple of cases of Red Bull to the Wings locker room for Game 5?

Yeah, he looked like he got shot. Then did the obligatory slow limp to the bench. Amazingly, he didn't miss a shift! Boy, is he tough.

The only thing I don't agree with is your leaning toward getting a HOSSA jersey? He could be one and done! Kronwall, Franzen or even Helm would be a good pick. (just my 2 cents)

I'm just infuriated at the play tonight. Tired and slow. What Red Wing forward is going to drive to the net with the puck? I am so tired of watching them skate in along the boards and curl and look to make a pass. I just saw no spark in this team tonight and they better take their vitamins, get lots of rest, and eat their Wheaties for Saturday night. Oh yeah, and I am on the verge of calling Hossa a playoff choker.

Quoted only part of the interview... He also could have been suspended for not tying his jersey down!! (forgot that one) Did the episode in the last game give you that push to come out and win no matter what? I don't know, because there was a clash in front of the net and emotions just ran free. We were losing and there was a little bit of anger. I don't think it was that much of a fight there. We were pulled apart quite quickly. If it did give us that push, then it's good because we won. Were you targeting Zetterberg specifically? I am just asking because you skated around the net to get to him. I skated around the net because he hit Talbot. They had a two-on-one [fight]. I saw it right away and went up to him. I also saw that he didn't mind fighting as well. Zetterberg is one of those players who cause your offense the most grief. His play against Sidney Crosby(notes) has been very effective. Maybe he just got in your head? Well, maybe... It's not like that. I don't fight very well myself. I am not a tough guy. These were just emotions because of the losing. We had a lot of chances but didn't score, hit the post. Of course, Zetterberg is an excellent player both in defense and offensively. He performs all of his duties to 100 percent. He is a nuisance to us. Were you surprised that you were not suspended after that game? No, I wasn't, because I saw a lot of other incidents when no penalties were called in the playoffs. We were pulled apart pretty quickly. It wasn't even a fight. It shouldn't have even been a penalty. And this little gem to look forward to: How are you getting ready for a possible "meeting" with Datsyuk? Zetterberg will probably carry on covering Crosby. But Datsyuk will probably be taking care of your line. I hope he won't be ready to 100 percent. Hope he will be limping a little bit and won't be as quick. Maybe it will be possible to play against him and maybe even score. [Malkin joked] Pavel is a very good player, plays well in defense. He will make both their defense and offense stronger.
