Zack is Great

Well, nothing left to do now but win 4 games.

........ And what a way to end the game.

Alright guys, we get 11 seconds of a Power Play.

Jesus ******* christ. This is not playoff Hockey.

Suprise that shark falling down wasn't called.

Any sport where the Refs can do this is a joke. And theres a goal. No luck if not bad luck.

Oh come on.

This is just a stupid joke.

Even if you won being loud, you're still little brother whos been on the losing side of everything since, well, about 1961. I find the inferiority complex cute, personally.

I'm sorry, but how would Kronwall taking 5 minute penalties occasionally bring his game to a new level?

Look at the other teams Osgood has played for St. Louis and the Islanders have been the butt of a joke for this decade, and yet suddenly when Osgood got on those teams, they made the playoffs. Now why was that? Did Osgood just happen to show up when those teams got their act together, and when he left they fell apart just as quick? Or was Osgood a large part of that success? Osgood is elite, and he is exceptionally skilled and talented. What has he ever done to prove otherwise? Patrick Roy and Marty Brodeur never once played on a poor team. Never did they have a poor defense in front of them. If Roy had played on the Florida Panthers his entire career, or the 1990s Tampa Bay Lightning, do you think people would be calling him an elite goalie?

Man, ESPN could cover Hockey.

I find it hilarious that the goalie who backstopped the most successful team of the last 2 decades is discounted because his team is good. Hold the phone guys, Derek Jeter> Yeah, no HoF he played for the Yankees. Gordie Howe? Wtf hell no he played for the Red Wings. Wayne Gretzky are you kidding me? He played in the 80s and on a super stacked team, NO WAY he should get in. The only thing that could possibly keep Osgood out of the hall is peoples perceptions. People think of Roy and they think of all his witty one liners, his Stanley Cup Rings in his ears, and the press fiasco he caused when he left Montreal. People think Belfour and they think a Goalie who was just as likely to make a great save as to throw a drunked raged inspired temper tantrum. Not to mention his women beating and police resisting ways, but if there is anything an American loves it's loud obnoxious athletes. Brodeur, well, I'll give it to you here. When he's not winning, Brodeur also loves to not lose. He also likes to nail his brothers in laws wives, get divorced and then marry said mistress. Or am I the only one who remembers that? Meanwhile, Chris Osgood wins ass tons of Hockey Games, has 3 Stanley Cup rings and numbers comparable to all those goalies. But I guess winning and being successful just isn't good enough, huh?

A fact is something that is true. A fact is the Red Wings entire roster was injured with the exception of about 5 players. One was the best defenseman of his generation. The other was the teams Most Valuable Player. The rest was basically the entire starting roster. Thats not "crying" thats stating a simple fact. If anything the Red Wings proved they were the better team for playing through the injuries that they did and giving a healthy team all they could handle over an entire 7 game series. A series that had it's schedule changed to make it start on no rest with back to back games, no less. I mean, honestly. Anyone can see that.

Late 20's to mid thirties is not old, which you were implying. If you think it is, it only shows how young and stupid you are <3

Sorry, but you're ******* retarded. Lidstrom is pushing 40, so fine, I'll give you that one. Pavel Datsyuk is 31 Dan Cleary is 30 Rafalski is 34 Brad Stuart is 29 Ericcson? 25 Holmstrom is 36. By the way, looked it up, and apprently Zetterberg was playing with a bum wrist. He's 28. Pens got lucky. That's all. Stating a fact isn't "crying".

Personally, I hope the Red Wings tank this season and finish as the 16th overall seed. That way, we're guarenteed to win the Stanley Cup on home ice once we sweep whatever poor shmucks have to play a fully armed and operational Red Wings that just finished coasting through the conference. But in all seriousness, no one in the Central has me too worried. St. Louis has been Detroits whipping bor going on 20 years, and Chicago still has a weak D and a questionable netminder, and for the first couple of months will be missing some offensive firepower as well.

If anything, you should trash talk more. Look at the facts. Lidstrom has what would normally be a season ending injury, Datsyuk, a Hart Nominee was out, Lilja out, Rafalski and Stuart were both hurt, Hossa was hurt we now find out. The only people on the team who as far as I know were near completely healthy were Zetterberg Helm and Osgood. Allll of that, and Pittsburgh still got taken to 7 games. in 42 years of existence, Pittsburgh has managed 3 cups. If the Red Wings were founded in 1997 we'd still have more. near 20 years of consecutive post season appearances vs 2 cups in the early 90's before lapping at the balls of mediocrity stocking draft picks for years, and finally winning one in the late 2000's Developing players instead of drafting phenoms. Anyone can tell you who the better team is

If Grier signs for an amount that doesn't hurt our cap at all, I wouldn't mind him one bit. It'd also give Hank and Pavel some breaks on the PKm which would be good Also, Obama was born in Hawaii, making him a citizen =P

Tigers won't leave Detroit.

Any town with a Hockey team is a Hockey Town. This is THE Hockeytown.

haha. It's always cute how Army and Marines get so defensive.

We need him to take a check from Kronwall for charity. In a Havlat jersey.
