Stiffy

Quick, hang a picture of her right over the hole! Low odds of it working, but it might, it might! :-)

How about some props to Hudler and Flip too? Flip especially on that one - that was a great play by three forwards who know how to play together. Any one of them screwed up a little and we'd still be sweating. Man, all three really are showing up aren't they? I'll take that 3rd line over ANY in the game.

Love those cavemen. I just can't get enough. LGW, so easy a caveman can post to it. So, did we just steal a win? Were we lucky to get this?

Second funniest post of the night!

Nooooo, now we all get to stay up and say how we knew they would pull it off all along.

Holy s***, I forgot to bring the dog up. She has been here for every win. I set her down and BAM, we scored. Thanks for reminding me about the lucky pet thing! :-) Seriously it was that line. Now that is a line that knows how to play playoff hockey!

OMG...

I know, but that is just how much I would "sacrifice" for a win here!

Looks like early onset male menopause.

If the Wings win this game I hereby swear that despite being annoyed by her for the past 5 months in every hockey game, I will switch my car insurance to Progressive. Edit. Well at least visit their site and get a quote. I have a helluva deal with Nationwide!

I think that is indeed what he is doing. As a fan with a propensity toward instant gratification it is enough to drive a person insane. Still, we can't lose a series while they work out their chemistry.

Dude that was like 30 pages ago. How did you dig that up?

As long as you don't work for AIG, I'm willing to give that trust a shot!

Quantity vs. quality on all those shots?

Why not try totally new line mates. Flip and Franzen for example? Hudler and Franzen? Hudler and Cleary? Anything!!!!

O T. Oh man. I need to take out the garbage. Didn't someone do something with garbage earlier and the Wings scored?

I think I felt something like pity when Datsyuk tried that move... This guy is a machine and probably the most evolved player in the game - he has improved every season, every aspect of his game. What is wrong? He has to pull it together.

I'm huge fans of both, but the Homer glasses are off. They have to do something and Babcock has to switch them around. I mean if they go one more game without producing how can it be ignored. They are super stars, but obviously something isn't working. However, I'll take a goal from Draper now. I don't care who scores!

Does Helm look a little less quick tonight? No blame whatsoever. He has done his share, but he isn't looking the same.

Sammy, what were you thinking? What did you see?

See the Gods of bad calls are back to help. We better take this PP!!!

Don't you find the lack of line combo switching maddening? Babs said in an interview he is more prone to let guys work things out, but the top lines need some re-energizing. Why not? I mean we have the role players to spare? I don't get it.

See that. I tried to be a good person and correct my mistake and what do I get for it? A tie game with OT probable. Damn.

I want to talk hockey, but I have been insulted/name called with no provocation on my part. Yes, I should be bigger than that, but I respond to the insult with one post and then get 5 about mine. It is like one of those email storms where everyone is disrupting by not doing what I should have in the first place - just ignore the *******. So, I will stop, but it would be nice if someone realized the true ******* is not me, but someone else who just name calls a new member who did nothing but state an opinion on a player. I'm just a medium *******, not a huge *******. At least this ******* can say I am sorry. So, back to hockey okay?

Oh oh oh! Let me try a few reasons: 1. They in are over their heads 2. They have no idea how to enforce the new rules so they do it randomly otherwise the coaches would have to work on line combos of 3 players 3. They just won't acknowledge that with technology, just a little, the game could be so much more fair 4. They are too busy getting in the way of the play that they miss half of the calls they should make.... Who knows. I wish they would interview the refs once in a while.
