I wish I knew. Sorry. But the shot of the five or six guys wearing them on yesterday's broadcast of Wings v. the Wild made me laugh out loud. Too funny!!

they couldn't really complain about Hank's hat-trick, so perhaps you're right.

Maybe they will show ***** shooting or Kenny Rogers' Country Christmas or something in Nashville, in favor of the Wings game.

Raleigh NOT Hockeytown, USA... They love hoops Hockey fans in Raleigh eager to see the Hurricanes and Red Wings play a rare Sunday game were disappointed. The Hurricanes' local rights holder, FSN South, decided to pass on the Hurricanes-Wings game and televise an ACC basketball game between Boston College and Maryland. Never mind the fact the game started at 5 p.m. and the basketball game didn't begin until 7:30 p.m. The station wasn't even interested in joining the hockey game in progress. Guess there wasn't a NASCAR race to re-broadcast? Go, Wings! Beat Smashville tonight!!! Go, Ozzie!!!!!

It's become almost impossible for even devoted fans to find the games, the way they've jerked us around with Center Ice and now the pirate network, NHLN. Cue OsGod and his pirate talk. Anyway, I would welcome free hockey, even if it is on ESPN. At least Wings games were broadcast fairly regularly (in 2001-2002, I think I got 41 Wings games) and I could turn off the announcers and put on FSD feed, so it was great from my perspective. Now I pay almost $200 a month during season for digital and CI, only to have my games ripped off for a channel I can't buy, even if I wanted to? This is how the NHL attracts new fans? This is how the NHL will lose even the most dedicated fans, more likely. We're going to have to give up, or move to Michigan, I guess. The NHL needs ESPN more than ESPN needs NHL, true statement, IMO.

Lilja! I didn't realize this: "Both of Lilja’s goals this season have been game-winners and he has three game-winners among his 12 career goals." He doesn't score often, but he makes the most of his chances!

Hasek didn't violate any rules. And I disagree with anyone who says the play was with intent to injure. Clearly it was not. The refs called a penalty on a play that was perfectly legal, as many other posters have stated in depth over and over. It's a discussion, not a debate. But if you want to think you won, OK.

Because I don't agree with you, I am irrational? Okey dokey. Please, resume bitching.

I agree. That was a career best for Huddie, and Lils wouldn't have minded at all being #2 star tonight.

you'd better go study now. Ozzie v. the Predlies tomorrow. Ozzie owns them so more fun shall ensue!

Huddles got third star, Andreas got #1. Cole #2. OK, whatever... just kidding, his second goal was a beauty. Too bad it was on us. He was all the Canes had tonight, besides Ward.

He should be pissed, he hasn't gotten any help at all tonight. Poor guy. He was absolutely frozen when Datsyuk came at him... like a little prey animal with a cobra closing in on him. Stars, Hudler, yes Hudler, Datsyuk and Lilja?

awww... Huddie should have gotten a penalty shot on that one. I guess they're taking pity on poor Ward.

OMG OMG OMG!! I didn't think anything could top last night's fun, but this may have! Homer rocks!!!

Poor Ward... he looked terrified. What was the music they played for Pavel? sounded like some little Russian folk song or something...

you show 'em, Pavel!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

What's incredible is that anyone thinks Pronger is more worthy of the Norris than Nick. booo... offsides, but baaarely.

huh. I was looking right at it. The guy looked like someone shot him, arms and legs flying and Lils barely touched him. Gosh. Lilja doesn't know his own strength, eh? Oh, well, they killed it anyway.

I will plead ignorance here. What did Lilja do?

Dom. Excellent kill, boyz!

No, he didn't. Give it up.

Crouching Hobbit, Hidden Dragon? Huddie's been great, gettin' it done. I am proud. *sniff* Brindy is one ugly dude, isn't he?

no contest, Terri. Maybe Hank wanted to give 'em a hug? They hug a lot, I hear. Please score again, Wings.

Zata takes excepton to that hit.

love ya, Lils... Huddie with helpers on all three goals.
