Jake Ryan - I've read two of your worthless topics this morning - one saying you're sorry for being a hater and the other saying raffi sucks and I think you are a tool and should stop posting lame topics. Thanks

seeing the guy is a finalist for the Selke (and will probably win for the 2nd year in a row) and he finished top 10 in the league in scoring, and he helped his team to a better record than Ovie or Malkin did, it should be a NO BRAINER that this guy is the best overall player in the game and deserves the Hart. Unfortunately I think he has two things working against him - 1. the fans and media obsession with Ovie and Malkin and 2. the fact he's a Red Wing. Sure we get our fair share of awards but the Hart is set aside for guys like Ovie and Crosby (and Malkin) lame..

Everybody simma down now. Here's how it will almost certainly work: If you have Center Ice, you will get the feed via either TSN or FSD for sure, no matter who the provider. If you live in or around Detroit, FSD will black out VS coverage. If you live outside Detroit, VS will blackout your FSD/Center Ice coverage.

Saying the Wings "may come out flat and lose" is not allowed. Put your blinders back on now son! We will sweep every game in every series and will repeat with ease!

Clement, Clement, hands of cement

It was something to the effect of: "That was cheaper than a hook on 4th street" LOL I love it

Why is there always a thread about the Caps after each of their games on our boards? I mean dont get me wrong, I spent 20 years in DC and I like them and all but I dont come here to talk about the Caps.. Anyone else noticed this trend or is it just me?

Houston we have a problem. Our D and our goaltending is truly near the bottom (stats dont like 68 games into the season) I'm really worried about our team being able to get back to the cup this year. The mindset that we'll "come around" once the playoffs start is just weak. We've got serious issues to fix and less time to do so. Last nights loss was more disgusting than the 8 goal losses recently in my opinion. Calgary was playing so dirty early on we should've had the desire from that alone to beat them and beat them good.. not to mention the fact they're the next team behind us in the standings. Two tough road games this weekend.. we better get our $hit in gear!

Tyler Kennedy looks like a FUGLY version of Sid Crosby

another SOLID game for Tomas. Maybe he's been reading the message boards?? I hope he keeps this up and Fil keeps going too. Does have those guys ready to go in the playoffs would be huge

Dont forget we are an eastern time zone team playing in the West. We probably travel more miles than most

Clement, Clement, hands of cement We'll just use that as fuel to the fire come playoff time. He's prob on SJ's nuts

I'm not sure if we play more or less back to backs than other teams but here's how we've fared on our 2nd game in back to backs: at CHI W at SJ L at FLA W at BOS L at PHO W at COL OTL at LA W at PIT W at COL L at MIN L at NSH L overall: 4-5-1

I have a bad feeling about tonights game. Playing twice in 24 hours, a couple time zones away, sans Hossa (I know we didnt have him last night and crushed but still..), and we have not matched up well against COL all season. Oh well I hope the boys prove me wrong!

TB Lightning are more of a freak show than a pro hockey club imo.

Terrible idea.

I'll admit I started a thread hating on KOPECKY but he has been great lately. If he could play like this all the time I'd be more than happy to have him a permanant fixture on our squad. KEEP IT UP TOMAS!!!!!!!!!!!

Win and we're in 1st place in the NHL for the 1st time all season !!!

talk about a slap in the face, literally! Added insult to injury for sure. Good thing they're calling Downs up b/c Lilja is NOT a fighter, just a big body. We need a guy in the lineup to stick up for our guys.

man..must be nice! *sigh*

Dats is a better overall player. Ovie hits hard but aside from that doesnt play good defense. Dats has better puck handling and passing too. Ovie is the best goal scorer in the world, skates very fast, hits hard, and inspires. Dats inspires too but in a different way. IMAGINE them and Malkin lining up together next Feb in the Olympics. Yikes!

This brings up a good debate fFrom a broader perspective. Celebrations in hockey are looked at as a sign of disrepect, which I dont really understand. OVIE is great for the game and brings a level of excitement we could use more of. He energizes the entire franchise and pumps life and confidence into his teammates. they look like they're having fun out there unlike us on some nights where we just look kind of bored

I caught the game and it certainly had a "Playoff" feel to it. Low scoring, great goaltending on both ends, and few mistakes. Nabakov played out of his mind.

Federov is still a good player but a 2nd liner at best. He fits in well in Washington b/c he is a mentor to their young russians and supposedly has assumed quite the leadership role there
