The Mule

Washington have only looked incredible offensively. Their defense has been quite bad, and the goaltending has been sub-par.

No, I would not.

What a ridiculous post. Ozzie is the only reason we have a win so far this season.

Very excited for this game. We're going to have to play well to earn a win, but I'm looking forward to a bunch of things; namely, Datsyuk and Zetterberg reuinted, Leino in the top six, Abby getting a little more ice time, and Eaves' debut. LET'S GO WINGS!!

You are a moron.

This hurts. Bad.

In no way, shape, or form is losing Franzen even remotely a "good" thing.

Yes, I do. Williams has been great for us.

That seems to be the consensus, but he managed to score twice tonight without any help from Ovechkin, so I'm beginning to believe otherwise.

Thoughts on the game: - Ozzie was fantastic tonight. If you ask me, he was the first star. - Hilarious goal by Nick, but a goal is a goal, so I'm not complaining. - That was one hell of a shot by Drapes to beat Huet. We need more of that. - Did anyone else love seeing Kopecky get run over by Stu? f*** yes. - May did a nice job, both with the gloves on and off. Nice having him around. - The penalty kill still needs work, but that was a great 5-on-3 kill. - We still look slow, sloppy, and lost out there, but a win is a win. LET'S GO WINGS!!

I selected Backs 4th overall in my hockey pool last month. Needless to say, thus far, I am pleased with my decision. If it ain't us, I sure as s*** wouldn't mind seeing the Caps hoist the Cup this season.

Abby will get his chance to play big minutes someday.

What's up, dude? Long time no talk.

I have a stinging feeling that even if the Blackhawks do manage to beat us tonight, the pylon known as Tomas Kopecky will have played no part in said victory. Good riddance.

Is Ozzie starting?

Billy Mays knows what's up.

Bryan Bickell, a Blackhawks prospect who I am very close with (and who has actually scored against us/Ozzie before), is supposed to get the call for Chicago tonight, so you can all imagine how exciting of a game this is for me.

Don't waste your breath. It's like talking to the world's ony brick wall with down syndrome.

Where is the braniac from yesterday that told me the Blues were not a contender?

Game over.

Frustrating.
