Wow, way to stink it up in the 3rd. I left for a few, and come back to a 3-2 game. My brother-in-law says "Watch them blow it now", as he's been pretty pissed off about his team. Sure enough, they lose in OT. Very interesting...

From the start of the 2009 playoffs. And the wife and son ready for playoff hockey.

Niemi is really good. Another Hiller? Jimmy Howard?

This is just unacceptable.

Yeah, well we choose to. Get over it. Chelios can play as long as someone will have him. Great shape, great mentor. Doc, I can only relate Chelios choosing to play for Atlanta instead of playing for the Wolves and staying local to being in the Navy and having them station me overseas. I can choose accompanied or unaccompanied, and if the family is "settled" somewhere, I'm going unaccompanied, and even if it were an accompanied tour (and all of mine have been, to include my next assignment - Italy), it doesn't mean I'll be there. Difference is he's making much better money, but we're both doing something we love. The family understands, and his much more than mine. Just wish I'd gotten to see him here in Chicago. Just got settled here and he's already gone...

Beautious! Now can I have my Bronze Booster status? I sent money via PayPal for X-mas!

What a nailbiter!!! I'm just now having a celebratory (second) beer. Great win for the good guys!!!

mindfly is correct... wait, what the hell did I just type? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What will a bronze membership look like and I can I have mine?

So who is a BIGGER legitimate cup contender? Chicago or San Jose? After what I've seen lately, I don't think either of them want Detroit in the first round. My only concern for the Wings is offense and giving up late goals.

If they lose, I will not want Chicago in the first round.

Good start. Hey, not sure if you guys knew this, or had heard this before, but apparently: De-troit sucks.

Crosby beat Rafalski to the puck. Ouch.

Contact T. Campbell at Tunes by T. He is the Red Wings DJ. Really nice guy. He e-mailed me his version of "The Hockey Song" that he did with Wings radio announcer Ken Kal. I posted this song on the NHL2K Forums under downloads.

I agree with this, but your example is flawed. Byfuglien was trying to fight Kronwall, and idiotically risked stepping on or falling on an unconscious teammate. Moronic. A more appropriate example would be Steve Ott's crosscheck to Kronwall's back after he stepped up and hit Mike Ribiero at the blue line (YouTube it, if you haven't seen it). That is the kind of cowardice that needs to end with someone's career finished (Ott's, in this case). In this case, the Matt Johnson Treatment is warranted.

Curling friggin' rocks. There are some hotties on the Russian team, too. I'm currently watching the U.S. Women's team get clobbered by Canada. Ugh.

Let me just say that these GDTs are EXCELLENT. Thank you for your service to LGW!

We watch a lot of Sharks games (wife and I) and loved watching him 'bow Tootoo's face in. That piece of s*** has a reputation for cheap shots and getting the jump on fighters without squaring off. Staubitz hasn't done this with anyone else, to my recollection. Would love this guy on the Wings.

I made refried beans tonight. Seriously good when done right and enjoyed with rice and a quality flour tortilla.

Surprisingly hard to find, but I thought it was him slashing the bejesus out of the little s*** right in front of the ref. No call.

What a loser.

for the Tenacious D reference. Edwards = worst. Not a Jeannret fan, either.
