Aw... happy birthday, Nik-Nik!! **pictures Kronner checking his cake into next week... BOOM!!**

OK, I am easily amused. I literally was laughing out loud, tears in my eyes over these mugs. WTH is the deal with that hairdo on Matt Duchene? Was the photographer visually impaired? Say something, don't just click the shutter. Kessler's rather hair-impaired as well. Which Sedin Twin is uglier? Oh, right, both of them. Phil Kessel looks like a felon. Actually, several of them do. Nick looks handsome, as usual. I fall into the camp of not wanting any Wings to participate at all. Nick will, as Captain, be his usual self and represent us with class. If I thought non-hockey fans were actually going to watch this farce, I would worry that this roster is what they would see as representative of the star players in the NHL. Of course, we know all cameras will be glued to Crosby, so it won't matter who else is there.

no. I've never been tied up not for fun, either, unless you mean a traffic jam. Those, pretty much every day. The person below me tries to eat healthy foods.

cats. I prefer their demeanor, they don't grovel. face wash or jersey yanked over the head?

I appreciate the few media sources who call him what he is: an assassin. I also hope he gets what is coming to him. No insanity plea. He knew what he was doing. Don't even get me started on Tom Delay. I once wanted to be a lawyer. It's a good thing I'm not one.

We don't have Del Tacos here. I don't like Taco Bell, but I do like Taco Cabana. yo-yo or hula hoop?

I am guessing ketchup, 'cause Reagan declared it a vegetable. I prefer salsa picante, but look where I live. Ai-yi-yi!! The person below me would like the afternoon off - assuming you are working today.

Question: why do they insist on calling the criminal who tried to assassinate Repr. Giffords, who killed a federal judge and four other people including a nine-year old child, and who maimed and injured more than a dozen other innocent people a "suspect"? I don't suspect him of anything -- it's pretty clear he is 100% responsible.

Love is blind.

Wings just need to start better, per Howard. "We didn't start on time." He's right, they can't just keep showing up for the last 20 and OT and/or shootouts. linky Per Babcock, "We let Howie down..." Yep.

No way in Hell Dom would come back to Detroit. He could still get it done at tha age of 46, since he's still playing very well in Europe and winning championships (last season) and in Russia, currently. Back on topic: When Ozzie comes back, it won't be at 100% for some time. I would not expect him to take over the #1 spot in Detroit though I can understand how one can dream of that. A groin injury/surgery on a 40-year-old goalie is a serious problem (Hasek excluded, one has to accept that he is a unique specimen in athletics). My fear is that Ozzie gets into some critical games and pulls a Derian Hatcher, because his body won't or can't do what he needs it to do. He doesn't deserve to go out like that. I would almost rather he retire having won his 400th game, on a top note. I think this is Howard's time to show that he's the man. Joey Mac is clearly capable of backing up for now.

a bit too little, a bit too late... but they tried. Poor Jimmy, get some rest and let this one go. It happens.

running out of time, Wings. Please score and tie this.

Question of the ages: will Helm ever finish, even with no goalie in the net?

Demolition Man... keep bangin' away there, Wings. Bert to the box because a Turnip skated into his stick. Kill it, Wings!!

Let's go, Red Wings!!

Homer! I called him out earlier in the game. Who would you like me to pick on next?

I think the difference is that Budaj was barely touched, whereas Joey Mac was steamrollered. And he's a Wing. So, no penalty. See?

Draper now has an anti-hat trick. Wings look deflated. If the Avs running their goalie doesn't fire them up, I guess nothing will tonight.

OMG, that's one way to win -- kill the Wings goalie. Wow.

Here's to a massive effort in the 4rd, Wings will win it! Hurry up, intermission!!

Budaj felled in Luongo-like fashion. Helmer to the box. Kill it, Wings.

good boy, Homer, setting up Hank, there. Keep shooting and go to the net, Wings. It works, see?

the Wings have hit legs, skates, dollar hot dogs... everything except the back of the net. PP time?

well. At least the Wings are getting the puck in the general vicinity of the Avs net. It's progress!
