Phew....ton of missed shots already.

Ugg, Kronner's hand.

Bob Boughner Shawn Burr Mathieu Dandenault Dallas Drake Kris Draper Mike Knuble Joe Kocur Viacheslav Kozlov Martin Lapointe Norm Maracle Barry Melrose Wendel Clark Chris Osgood Tim Taylor Aaron Ward Bob Probert Patrick Roy Gordie Howe I lived in upstate NY when I worked for the DOE in the early-mid 90's. Being a hockey fan, we used to go to Adirondack Red Wings games a lot. So I would see a lot of the guys around town or whatever. I was lucky enough to play some pickup games with Chris Osgood a few times too. I suck so I never scored on him. Barry Melrose used to live in the area too, so you would see him, Wendel Clark and Joey around (they're his cousins). Everyone I've met was really cool. Even Roy, whom I met in Montreal on Rue St. Catherine in 92. He was pretty laid back and signed a puck for me.

Yes, because Ritola has proven himself to be able to play on the same level as Nabbie, obviously. Same here. I think there is more communication and 'back-room' deals going on than we know about. That's all.

All of you 'he won't clear waivers' people realize that Ken Holland has some pretty insane clout within the NHL, right? I'm sure anyone taking Nabby off waivers would have to be prepared to be on his s***-list for awhile. You never know when you might need a 'favor' from another team. This might just get him through waivers. And as was mentioned earlier, if Nabby doesn't want to play anywhere else, there are things he can do to teams that attempt to pick him up off of waivers. Just my opinion.

Hopefully we can get a point, and not see Jimmy's GAA swell to over 3.00

I really hope this is good news. IMO, Howard has been on a steady decline all year. I hope his short break will help him turn things around.

Absolutely terrible game. Great personal disappoint to me, I'd rather lose 10 in a row as long as we can beat the D(F)ucks and s***tsburgh. Long s***ty day at work and then this. Ugh.

Nice pick set by the linesman there. f*** this bulls*** game.

So much for having a good 4rd.

Obvious interference on Hudler there. Big surprise on the non-call.

Terrible period. Going to have to be an outstanding 4rd for us to win. Full of doubt, I am.

What a ******* joke. Terribad.

Kick ass Mule!!!!!!!!!

Exact same play. f*** you, paid off zebras.

LOL @ Letang. What a DB.

Not the best of PP, that one.

Any of you listening to the Pitts audio feed are crazy. http://radiotime.com/station/s_30370/971_The_Ticket.aspx Listen to Ken Kal here...mute your stream/TV.

Young guys/role-players to step up and show us/coaching staff that they have enough heart to be a Red Wing. Not much else.

Sad period. Hope I hope I'm not forced to turn this one off.

String McCrimmon up. NOW.

Getting outplayed pretty bad...need to crank up the 'O'.

Phew, not a good start. That was brutal Joey. LOL, McCollum broke his finger...wtf?!?!?

F s***tsburgh. Glad s***head is not playing so I don't have to look at his molester 'stach. Sad s***head is not playing so I can't watch Z own him all night. I'd like to get a Win tonight, especially on their ice. Really hope we can dodge the plethora of cheap shots coming our way, hope the zebras do not ignore them.
