Gotta keep Hossa, what a freak of a shot! HATs off! Nice Ozzie shootout too...

wow...Cleary was GASSED. Better get Dats and Hossa out for the last minute!

Payback, *******!

Damn that Oshie. He beat Ozzie last time too.

I think they are stunned.

To quote Bobby Ross... "I don't coach this garbage!" I'm SURE he is not coaching them to suck. Something is not clicking and it will. Lighten the F up.

I KNEW that would come up. Should he or shouldn't he? They are, he is, it's going up there. What about Steve Larmer? Discuss.

That's what I was getting at. If it was that bad, he would not be playing. They know what they are doing. We just guess.

They got rid of all the "cancer" players in Ottawa, according to the players, Emery, Redden, etc. and they still suck. Or....maybe they weren't really the problem at all!

When I was writing that, I had Mickey Redmond's homerism ringing in my ears about Datsyuk being the best forward in the NHL. While I think there are areas where OV simply is better than Dats, there are things that Dats does that I have not seen OV do. Dude, I am all about that guy. Trade anyone on the Wings roster to get him here and I will not be upset.

Yes, they do.

The good news: they will soon be marked at shop nhl dot com. marked as what? 50% off?

Just was waiting for the hammer to fall on this guy. Shame. Not his fault, but he can't seem to motivate the players, and they are all pointing fingers at each other and saying "it's not MY fault, it's his!" Trade deadline in Ottawa will be fun.

He may not be the best "all-around" player in the NHL, but man, when he is going, he can't be stopped. I'd take him over anyone.

Welcome, Dave. I see you wasted no time piling on our goalie. You'll fit in fine here. Just remember, he is lazy and he sucks, and that any goalie on the farm team is better than he is.

Let's give Dallas a little credit for playing great defensively and putting on the trap / forecheck in the 3rd. The Wings had all the momentum going into the period and they neutralized it. Blame the Wings for not being able to break the trap once they figured out Dallas was going into it. And, for all our supposed "depth", we had a lot of passengers tonight.

Where is Bud Selig when you need him? Sheesh!

Sid the Kid's coach, Mr. Myoggi, clapped his hands together and rubbed them together real hard, and then placed them on Sid's knee and said, "Go out there and play!" Magically, Sid was healed!!

I'm pretty sure Emery knows how to say "F YOU" in Russian now, and it looks like that guy says "F YOU" to him right before the first swipe.

To the guy who wrote that... You, sir, are an idiot.

If one of these guys leaves for the big payday, all Holland has to say is two words. Martin LaPointe. Hossa will still be a star no matter where he goes, but will Franzen? I seriously think there will be one or more name players who will not be here next year. Trade deadline stuff. Cap space clearing, that kind of thing. Just a hunch. Plus if we clear off McCarty, Chelios, etc. would that get us some more room to get it done? Obviously yes, but will it be enough?

Happy to hear that it's done! Is there any language in the contract that says he has to be on a line with Dats? 12 years. WOW. We don't even know if the NHL as we know it will exist in 12 years.

Must have been nice for Bettman to get booed by the Montreal fans at the end of the All-Star game with the chairman of Honda Canada standing next to him. Good for business, I'm sure. At least now he is not getting booed just in Detroit. A-hole. Props to Ron McLean (AGAIN) for asking him the tough questions sitting about a foot away from him and looking right into those beady little eyes.

This sucks. I listened today and it was Dan Patrick and some other hosers talking about how mad Lou Holtz got when Dan did his impression of him. Like I Care! Although I did get pissed when DFN would throw their drops over the Jungle.

I HAVE to have a slice of Little Caesars Pizza before each playoff game. This tradition started when the Wings re-signed Sergei and the pizza at the games went up 50 cents. Being a season ticket holder and really close to a Pizza Station, I often would go straight to the game after work and eat there. I asked the person working why the price went up and she said "it's the Sergei Tax." So now I do that and wear my Konstantinov jersey. That jersey has seen 4 Cup wins. Lucky, right?
