Looks like there are more Go to this link, above the cover, there is a link to 'view this issue'. It's all there available online. Not sure if you can order a reprint. You can get reprints of some covers, just not sure about the whole magazine. Reasonably priced too, unless you get a frame. I don't think that cover is available though. http://sportsillustr.../7804/index.htm

What I don't understand is....are teams allowed to make offers after the trade deadline during the playoffs to players so long as they are not in the league or were under contract by another team?

I didn't catch it, what did Morris do?

Holy crap, that was a pretty impressive draft year. The Wings didn't have a pick until round 2, which they used to draft none other than Jimmy Howard. 1 Marc-Andre Fleury 2 Eric Staal 3 Nathan Horton 4 Nikolai Zherdev 5 Thomas Vanek 6 Milan Michalek 7 Ryan Suter 8 Braydon Coburn 9 Dion Phaneuf 10 Andrei Kostitsyn 11 Jeff Carter 12 Hugh Jessiman 13 Dustin Brown 14 Brent Seabrook 15 Robert Nilsson 16 Steve Bernier 17 Zach Parise 18 Eric Fehr 19 Ryan Getzlaf 20 Brent Burns 21 Mark Stuart 22 Marc-Antoine Pouliot 23 Ryan Kesler 24 Mike Richards 25 Anthony Stewart 26 Brian Boyle 27 Jeff Tambellini 28 Corey Perry 29 Patrick Eaves 30 Shawn Belle And some notable picks from round #2... 33 Loui Eriksson 45 Patrice Bergeron 49 Shea Weber 62 David Backes 64 Jimmy Howard And then... 205 Joe Pavelski 239 Tobias Enstrom 245 Dustin Byfuglien 291 Brian Elliott And then some other picks I found interesting came out of this same class as well... 37 Kevin Klein 47 Matt Carle 54 B. J. Crombeen 61 Maxim Lapierre 73 Daniel Carcillo 106 Jan Hejda 112 Jamie Tardif 121 Paul Bissonnette 122 Corey Potter 132 Kyle Quincey 164 Ryan Oulahen 186 Drew Miller 271 Jaroslav Halak http://en.wikipedia....NHL_Entry_Draft

Boston went 7 games with Montreal and Tampa Bay last year.

You know, there's good days in hockey, and there's bad days. The Phoenix Coyotes just had themselves a bad day. Things just got real serious for Phoenix.

If LA keeps this up, it will be the third series in a row they took the first two games on the road. That's pretty amazing.

He had a good hit on S. Kostitsyn, not huge, but decent.

I'm assuming it's over by now? I sure could use some hockey about now to round out the day. Can't find a link on FRS or that russian site. Anyone have a link if the game is still on?

Is there a game on right now?

They sure mopped us up in that 2-1 OT romping they gave us, with TPH and Jimmy out of the lineup.

Yeah, I meant if you said Germany played Norway and the score was 12-4, I would assume Germany won since the score was placed relative to the order of the teams you listed. And on that note, it's that awkward moment you realize that what you said had absolutely no merit to begin with. I don't know why, maybe it was too early for me to be thinking about stuff, but there was nothing wrong with what you wrote, just how I read it. Disregard.

You really confused me on that part. Opposite of relative?

It's worth mentioning we keep our guys in the minors much longer, preventing our lineup from being littered with draftees. Tatar, Nyquist, Shaehan, and Smith could all be lopped into that group, but because of the Red Wing way, they are only on the cusp of donning red full time.

Damn, Goligoski got ******* flattened.

I think I'm just going to let this one play out. I rooted for both of these teams along they way, so I'm just going to enjoy the series for what it is.

I think it's funny how when people dive around franzen, he goes into pummel mode. He did that a few times this year too.

What a come back by Russia. 3-1 Sweden lead turns into a 7-3 Russian win. Wow. I hope Mule is okay.

I agree. No clue who this guy in net is. Doesn't help Sweden can't bury their chances. Where did you see Franzen has a broken nose? I mean, I don't doubt it after what happened, just looking for a source.

So Franzen just got a stick shoved up his nose, was leaking on the ice, and the Russian player took a match penalty. I REALLY hope nobody gets hurt for real playing this tourney. Crymson, those were my exact thoughts about the Russian player who skated into Landeskog. Datsyuk wouldn't flop like that though.

Is the game still on? I'm seeing highlights on the stream I found. 3rd period about to start? Well that was a quick goal....ruskies up Holy crap....goals goals goals

I don't have a problem watching NBC for the US games, but I also want to watch Canada, Sweden, Russia, and even Finland. The problem is, we're not allowed.

This just pisses me off to no end. Do you know WHY people are doing this? Because NBC bought the rights to the US broadcasts, which means they blocked the US from the YT streams, and then NBC turned around and didn't show any ******* games except the US. So, now, the 'so called fans' are not playing fairly because they are using the ONLY means there is to watch the games? f*** YOU *******!

Ha, you said Suns and I knew Spurs would follow. Go Spurs Go! Back on topic: It's actually been pretty well known that some teams build themselves with the aspiration of getting past the Wings. The Preds pretty much came out and said that this year as well. You know what they say....to be the best, you've got to beat the best.
