Good point. I'll take Pasha over 25 Don Cherrys any day of the week, thank you very much.

I absolutely cannot believe how passionate Pasha is playing. You think he wants to prove something to everyone? Bless you Pasha - you're proving something to me alright.

My stomach is doing butterflies...but I don't care. I have a feeling we are gonna hear from Pasha again today. And I hope it's loud as all hell GO WINGS!!!!!!!!

If you set any store to anything that raving lunatic says, I would question your sanity. Cherry is an idiot.

There is a hunger there...you can see it in his eyes. The desire and the need to finally put all the derogatory comments to rest is evident. This is a guy who wants to prove he's more than everyone has given him credit for up til now. Dmitriy, if you talk to Pasha (and I know you will), please tell him good luck for me...

I signed it when I was there last Saturday. I wished the Wings luck and I sent Pasha a message in Gaelic...someday I'll translate it for him.

Oh would that it would come to pass...I cannot think of a more fitting reward. My faith in Pasha has never wavered - ever. When everyone else thought he was going to go play somewhere else, I kept believing that he would stay. Y'all told me I was insane. And look what happened. Watching him Thursday night was pure joy. You just knew in your heart that the monkey was going to come off his back. And when it did, I honestly think the two happiest people on the planet were Pasha and me. If you heard a loud scream of joy about the time he scored, that was me. Spasiba, Pasha...thank you for giving me a reason to smile. Considering what has happened the last couple weeks, God only knows joy was in short supply. You took care of the absence of happiness.

Having Stevie Y go to bat for you ain't shabby either. God bless you, Captain!

Dmitriy, if you talk to Pasha, tell him thank you for giving me the one ray of joy I've had in the last two weeks. I had faith he'd stay here and you all thought I was nuts. Well, guess what...I'm not as dumb as you think I am.

Dmitriy, I have no reason to doubt you. If you really have the inside scoop on this, you will make me happier than I have been in the last two weeks. I need this more than you know. My spirits have been so low it's pathetic. This would be my saving grace.

Cool - I'll be at the Saturday game, Section 118. I'd love to see Pasha get to 90 points this season...he's 4 away. However he gets them, either 4 goals (which would get him to 30 - not shabby either) or 4 assists, who cares? I would just like to see him hit that mark. I think we will win...not predicting a score, but I'd love to see Pasha have another multi-point game. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't believe Hull when he says that Pasha wants to play in DC. Number one, he's building a new house here. Now if he was intent on leaving, don't you think it would be a dumb idea for him to be building new digs? Number two, he is NOT "Best friends" with Alexander Ovechkin. That is so far off the radar it isn't funny. I'm just gonna chalk it up to an April Fool's joke and leave it at that.

Well, I must say it is rather refreshing to not have people jumping down Pasha's throat for not producing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

I absolutely hate it when we pull the goalie!

About damned time you called Calgary for a penalty!

Boy that was close...Pasha, you little thief... You think Nik is happy to get rid of that birdcage?

That was awesome! Good on you, Pasha!

Well, better late than never...but I sure hope this gets better. Happy Birthday, Flip! Let's hope you get a goal for a present! And a win to boot!

I love all you people who think a) Pasha won't be a factor in the playoffs, and b) that he'll walk come July. You have no faith...not one little iota of it. I hope you like crow. I'll supply the barbecue sauce. I'm with Dmitriy on this one...I'm tickled to see him doing so well. A 10-game scoring streak...the second best point total since Valentine's Day...flying under the radar to become one of the best scorers in the league. How could you not love it?

Hey gang, I'm gonna BE at that game, so don't tell me it's too early! It means I'm getting up around 6AM Sunday morning. But let me tell you, for the chance to see Pasha and the guys, I'd stay up all night if I had to!

I must say it was a nail biter of a game, but fun. My intital reaction to Tootoo landing on our bench was, "If you want a lap dance, go find a topless bar." I STILL haven't figured out how Pasha managed to get that puck in the goal in the first. To say that puck had eyes is an understatement. Way to go guys - you deserved to win. I'll be there Sunday! I can't wait! Anyone else going to that game?

I think this was started after last night's game...once the Dom gets back (and I hope it's Sunday!) then we'll definitely make up for lost time! Meantime, I'm still scratching my head over how Pasha got that puck past Vokoun last night. To say it had eyes is putting it mildly. FOUR MORE DAYS!!!!!!!

I love both the pics of Pasha...you took some great shots. I'm going to the game Sunday and I hope I get as lucky with pics as you did.

I thought Nick was really nice when I met him in Traverse last fall. I have a friend who is a big fan of his and I asked him to pose for a pic for Nicole...and he did. She loved the picture!

As usual, absolute love for Pasha...and if you can tell me how you got that first goal past Vokoun, honey, you're smarter than I am...I rewound the DVR a couple times and STILL can't figure it out! Love and respect to Kyle Calder. I'm impressed!
