I hate CNN, but Fox News is just bad.

He picked the right time. *boing*

Post of the month.

I have to agree it was amazing to see the 4th line actually bring some energy. Kopecky even "tried" to throw a few checks after Downey was running around trying to put the Dallas players through the glass. It makes the recent complaints about our subpar 4th line trio a glaringly obvious weakness.

Did anyone notice that Brett Lebda was pretty good tonight?

Good to know Steve Ott can continue to run our guys, dominate in our zone and even score on us. Turco was due for a win at the Joe, but he didn't have to work hard tonight. Ott and some bad breaks won the game for Dallas, who wins the season series 3-1.

Better question: Who STILL doesn't know he was shot in Detroit? This should be no surprise.

SHOULD BE A GOOD THIRD PERIOD. WHY IS STEVE OTT STILL RUNNING LIDSTROM INTO THE GLASS?

Well said.

Prediction: Ott lays out Kronwall with an elbow after a clean hit on Ribiero right after Downey's shift ends. Both players play too few minutes to square off.

Awesome!!! Ville the Villain with the Gordie Howe Hat Trick.

Are we really stupid f***s?

He's making less than Datsyuk (6.7) on average. I'm happy with that.

Impressive. Please post pics.

Vodka = little water. Fitting, I'd say. I noticed in Russia that vodka is sipped with the morning paper, served all-around during lunch, and slugged relentlessly after dinner.

Good. Like Pavel Datsyuk, I suggest we all save our judgments until we see if he can finally pick it up in the playoffs. Oh, wait...

Congrats on your win, Columbus. You "earned" it.

Cleaned it up a little for you.

Happy birthday to the old man!

Forgot about that. That was cool seeing Lils toting his daughter around on the ice.

During a heated scrum in front of the Detroit net, Fedorov pounds Lebda into the ice, Alexander Semin-style. You heard it here first.

When the Wings' dynasty is over, and they perform as well as the New York Islanders and the Los Angeles Kings, then ice girls can be considered. Until then, this idea is simply beneath this organization.

Could you list the events for the AHL Skills Competition? I miss the puck-control relay the most.

Pass. Give away more free stuff. That always works. I like $1 hot dogs/pretzels.

Went last year during a 3-day weekend in Detroit. Watched the Wings lose in overtime to the Blues on Friday, practice on Saturday and then win 1-0 in overtime (Mule) over Nashville. The practice was hilarious. Babs got on the microphone, thanked everyone for coming, plugged Cheli's Chili (Chelios smiled and waved to everyone) and then gave the microphone to Nick, who tried to put Cheli under the hot lamp, but when given the mike, told everyone that Nick would be signing autographs at Cheli's for an hour after practice. Pretty funny.
