    Corey Perry Knee/Kick to Howard

    Reckless play by Perry for sure, glad they called a penalty on it but they could just as easily have called nothing. I doubt anything else will come of it, except maybe a few extra whacks with the goalstick next time Perry gets close to the crease. Also, it didn't look like Howard was trying to embellish anything, he got rocked across the chin with a knee from a pretty big guy who didn't make any effort to avoid contact, looks like a legitimate case of reflexes to me.

    WCQF - (8) Wild vs. (1) Blackhawks

    Haha, Wild score on their first shot of the playoffs, hopefully a sign of things to come.

    Playoff traditions/superstitions

    My game day superstitions are as follows: Listen to Don't Stop Believin' at least once before the game starts Don't wear red, but also don't wear any of the opponent's colors Cherry Coke and teriyaki beef jerky during the game

    2013 Round 1 Photoshop War: Anaheim Ducks

    Honestly, I don't know what brand they are, I found the cloud image online a few years ago, colored it red, and have been re-using it ever since.

    What does Babs do?

    As much as I want to see Bert back, there is no reason for Babcock to make any lineup changes, especially since the team as a whole has been playing so well. As for Samuelsson, I would only put him in if someone gets hurt and we have no choice, nothing against him but he doesn't add anything we don't already have. I'll be interested to see who gets black ace call-ups with GR in the playoffs, I'd give Tatar or Sheahan a shot before Sammy, they both play bigger than him anyway.

    4/27 GDT - Red Wings 3 @ Stars 0

    Definitely don't remember the last time I was this nervous about a regular-season game, hope they grab an early lead and never look back.

    4/26 GDT

    Is it just me, or does Xcel get really really quiet when the visitors score? You could hear a pin drop before, during, and after Eberle's goal.

    Dekeyser Nickname Time

    I don't think I'm gonna be able to keep a straight face the rest of the day. Ironically, DeKeyser probably isn't old enough to remember MST3K.

    4/22 GDT: Coyotes 0 @ Red Wings 4

    Now THAT looked like a team that wants to make the playoffs, fantastic effort from every single player in red, even Monster had a great game charting faceoffs. SHUTOUT!!

    Another diving incident

    In that I agree, my point was that given the quality of the sell job I understand why it was.

    Another diving incident

    Really, you're gonna go there? How much hockey I've played has nothing to do with the point that I was trying to make, which is that without the benefit of replay, van Riemsdyk's stick clearly making contact no matter how insignificant, and the fact that Stralman stayed down and acted as though he was hurt, I can see how that was called a penalty.

    Another diving incident

    Either Stralman is the biggest cream puff in the history of professional hockey, or that was the best sell I've ever seen. Hard not to make that call when the guy goes down in a heap, stays down, then limps off the ice and continues to sell it on the bench.

    WMU's season.....

    Difference is that both Abdelkader and Sheahan were drafted by the Wings previously, and just happened to sign their pro deals and play in the same year. I don't know if the Wings have ever signed an undrafted free agent out of college, let alone sign and play in the same year. If and when we reach a deal with Dekeyser, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a game or two in with the big club before being sent down to GR for a bigger role, then get the black-ace call up once GR's season is over.
