  1. Kindl with a poorly timed interference penalty. The guy wasn't going to catch Pavel anyway. Great stop by Mrazek, we could see the puck was out.
  2. Larkin with a great effort for the secondary assist, Kindl with the primary helper.
  3. I couldn't put this in the spook yourselves thread, even though I am terrified of spiders. A guy posted this on the computer forum I frequented years ago, and I found it amusing. I left that forum in 2008-2009, and haven't been in touch with the guy. I hope he spider didn't get him.
  4. Great save by Mrazek there.
  5. Nice hit by Abdelkader. Bark of needs to keep his head up. Convert this PP, please.
  6. I thought about that, but if the Wings don't score, it doesn't matter much. On a side note, big ups to the arena DJ for playing the Smithereens a couple minutes ago.
  7. Exactly, they need to stay hungry and not get frustrated. Once they crack Montoya, he will probably let several in.
  8. So Danny DeKeyser likes the "Juicy Wiggle" and Trevor Thompson makes a big deal about it during the intermission report. That's got nothing on Norman Smiley and the "Big Wiggle" from old school WCW. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B2UGAkbF1Mk Sorry I can't embed from my iPad.
  9. Replay didn't show the puck, and even though the pad and glove were both in, it won't count. Let's hope it doesn't come back and bite the Wings.
  10. Great graphic, Nerve! I love the D-Boss pic and the Subban as Jagr. Mrazek is going to play lights out. I'd love to see Jensen get a game in rather than Kindl (be a nice present for Smith to not have to play with Kindl). That said, Kindl will likely have a chip on his shoulder, so it is entirely possible he rips one or two tonight, hopefully he doesn't have unofficial assists on any for Florida. Smith's B-day? Hope he scores a couple points. If he has to put the beat down on his kid brother, oh well. Larkin is going to have fun and score a couple.

    D-Boz tearin 'em up in the D!

    Throw a pool party and show in on a projector while folks be chilling with their favorite beverage, be it a single malt, a beer, or other wise. Preferably as a lead in to highlight clips of his goals.

    Byfuglien resigns with Jets - 5 years/$38 million

    Yep, that puts those rumors to rest, and the money is about what I thought he'd get (I was guessing he'd get 7.5-8 for 7 years). The shorter term is a bit of a coup for Cheveldayoff. I guess the question now becomes, do they sign Ladd or trade another D man since they have some cost certainty with Buff now. Enstrom would be good trade bait.

    2/6 GDT : New York Islanders at Red Wings, 7:30 EST

    I would guess if they went 4 on 3 and the shorthanded team took a penalty they can't go 4 on 2, and they can't let a guy out of the other box early.

    Kyle F'n Quincey!! Two sensational passes from Pavel and Larkin to set it up. Keep it going, boys!

    Nice rip by Jurco to draw first blood! Heck of a play by Goose to set it up.

    ROY according to LGW

    Larkin probably helped his case for ROY this weekend. The game doesn't count in the stats, but breaking the fastest skater record and three assists in the tourney probably got him on the radar of some journalists who didn't have him there before.

    Lots of good reads on the players tribune. Definitely a site worth checking out.

    And your NHL All-Star Division Captains are....

    Just the right amount of crazy, if you ask me..... I'm thrilled for the guy. I hope he gets back in the show after all of this. I'd love to have known what was going through Bettman and Daly's minds when Scott got the first goal, then the second, then the MVP.

    Love John Scott getting the MVP. A great up yours to the league office. (I did sort of predict the MVP in another read, but I don't think he goals he got were gimmes though.)

    Agreed, but I was just quoting the film.
