He's in Chicago. He's just trying not to get hurt.

Running out the door to the game right now with my sweetheart. Not what she had in mind for Valentines Day, but she should be used to it after 30 years. Not worring about winning 21 straight, just focussing on getting the 2 points. 60 minutes of Hockey, boys. And, remember to help out your goalie. LGRW.

Big E went after Eager, when Eager hit Cleary into the bench door. Ericsson was ready to go and Eager ducked behind one of the refs and a linesman. This is what caused Gagners breakaway goal. E blew his coverage going for the fight, and left nobody back on defense to cover against cherry pickers. I do commend Big Rig for standing up for his teammate, but if you're not going to play defense, then at least get a whistle blown for something. Eager had a huge s***-eating grin when Gagner scored that goal, knowing that he was the one responsible for the breakaway.

You may laugh at that, but I was 10 years old at the time. You don't have any idea how long the next 29 years was, just to get back to the finals, only to be swept. I actually cried, I was that bummed out. When we won in 97, I was so overjoyed, I nearly drank myself to death celebrating that evening. And I was a seasoned pro at the time. There was like a 5 day hangover after that. All of that damn champagne.

That Cleary goal was from 2009. 2007, was the year of the injured defensemen.

Understand what you said. Semantics I guess. I don't consider that game, part of this roadtrip due to the fact that they got a 5 day break where they went home between games. Anyway, 5 of 8 points is still better than .500%, so I still feel that we're doing well.

That's right. I forgot the team had to stay in Montreal during the all star break.

One can only wish for that. Maybe next site update.

Wow. So far 5 out of 6 points on the road. This team really sux. We're dun. Onward to the desert to get the remaining 2 points available. Kind of like a home game.

With our new 2nd string goalie.

Going from your past history, that means we win.

Late whistle much.

Wheeewwwwww. That was close. Precious metals.

Where were your posts after the last 2 goals. Spot picker.

Bert. Wearing his comeback skates.

Forgot they were tied now. I thought they credited Whitney with tonights first goal. You get my point, though.

Didn't you say something like that right before we WON the last game. Hope you eat more crow.

Let me guess, our #2 goal scorer, for Nabakov???

At least they're chasing. Usually it's dump and don't chase.

Because Joey is shining.

That's a gimme. Hope we can gain some momentum.

They need to hit him a little harder next time, so that he gets pissed off. He plays better when angry.

Because they hate The Wings almost as much as you.

Great PP guys. 1 for 39 now.

Wish we had an enforcer... Or a powerplay.
