    Pittsburgh vs. Tampa Bay

    Way to go Bolts! And wow, Chris Kunitz is sure topping "douchebag" list as of late too. Same old same old for a Penguins player, though.

    GDT 4/26 Game 7 edition

    Too true. I will predict, Philly takes it, Chicago takes it, and Boston closes their's out tonight as well. Hopefully it doesn't as I love their beer, women, and lovely landscape, but Canada could very well burn to the ground tonight.

    GDT 4/26 Game 7 edition

    Ouch. Making the prediction in the title, eh? Don't ever want to do that one, brah. We will see but as the first poster said, 3-6 OT's per game would be solid. We shall wait and see but Montreal and Boston will be a great way to start the evening.

    What Teams Scare Us Right Now?

    Anyone just a tad worried about Franzen not skating with the team??

    Also, I definitely have to call BS on the Inge play being called a "Hit". That dude makes that play 9 out of 10 times. Fielded it, planted, and made a bad throw. Error. Anyway, moving along. Keep rolling boys, I" shall be attending tomorrow. Weather needs to cooperate to see JV throw a gem.

    This guy still scares me though...

    Los Angeles vs. San Jose

    I shall never root for the Hawks either. We play who we play. Taking the safe route, I know, but really just start the 2nd round already.

    Who Do You Want to Play in Round 2?

    I said Nashville for time purposes and matchup. Truthfully don't care who it is though.

    Positive Signs for The Wings in These Playoffs

    And then went on to be swept the very next round. Cracker jack reporting once again. Being super condescending about the Wings and using lower case letters throughout every post you have, makes me think you were last picked at kickball in 6th grade constantly. Just me, I'd guess though.

    Lidstrom nominated for Norris

    Don't have the particular statistic, but there is also one showing that of the 3, Nick is on the ice against much more quality competition as well. At 40, he is still the standard for the position. +/- is such a buzz statistic but really we have to weigh other stats as well. Would Weber have that many more assists just because he is on the Wings? I mean, we are talking about Nick Lidstrom here. Let's take it easy, I think people are warranted to have a little bit of homer goggles on.

    Lidstrom nominated for Norris

    And I'm sorry but we had very very suspect goaltending this year whilst Weber had a Vezina candidate. Those statistics are a lot closer related than those are willing to admit. Nick should win it, but it certainly will be a lot closer than most years.

    Was that the layoff for the Finals in '09??

    Lidstrom nominated for Norris

    Way to screw up the poll, guy. Ahh, now people are just being funny.

    Looks like ZDH will be reunited

    Franzen not ready to practice??? hmm, hopefully it's not as bad as we were thinking but we know Babs said he is a go for next round. These lines are stellar. Abby with Cleary and Bert is a new favorite of mine.

    Jiri Hudler Watch Thread

    Can't really go ape s*** about his play but as with most of the guys from the 1st round, I can't complain either.

    Who would you rather play

    We play who we play when we play them. Just start it already!!!!

    Lines discussion, leading up to game 1 vs SJ

    Here's what I say: Zetterberg- Datsyuk- Cleary Franzen- Abdelkader- Bertuzzi Holmstrom- Filppula- Hudler Draper- Helm- Eaves That 2nd line could be rotational but when together, makes a lot of noise out there and presents huge problems matchup wise. The 1st line will control the puck and just be a headache to deal with. Hank might have to be a center on one of these lines though with working him back in. We will see, but these are the lines I like for maximizing our potential.

    The Yandle snub still has to have something to do with playing in Phoenix, I am pretty sure of that. Who knows, though. Big Z had a real good season and that +33 looks quite sexy to the voters.

    Sorry, I meant Ozzie Guillen. Not our lovable backup for the majority of the season

    Lidstrom nominated for Norris

    yeah, I meant of the 2. Nick should still get it.

    Lidstrom nominated for Norris

    So a poll makes it better? Funny

    Lidstrom nominated for Norris

    Should have known with Boston being a bigger market that it would get Z nominated. Still feeling better and better about Nick's chances now. Weber has the only shot of the 3 to take some of the votes.

    Lidstrom nominated for Norris

    NHL.COM So here we go. No Visnovsky or Yandle is somewhat surprising. The Chara nomination is a head scratcher especially with Montreal writers have some say in this. But here we go. #7!!! Meh, merge

    Not a "fear" type guy. No teams scare me really.
