    Anaheim Deja Vu

    No need to apologize. . This year's squad definitely has the potential to make some noise in the post season. Glad to have you along for the ride.

    2/26 GDT : Red Wings 3 at San Jose Sharks 2

    Over time, I'd tend to agree. However, I've said numerous times that BOTH teams and their fan bases deserve a game that is fairly, consistently, and COMPETENTLY officiated. In far too many cases, that hasn't happened. I don't want my team to win or lose on a ticky-tack or, even worse, blown call.
  3. Did you expect anything else from Edzo?

    Wow. Dirty as hell, IMHO. That should get a suspension, but I have little confidence in the NHL dept. of player safety (hell, Pronger will probably give style points. Hopefully Smith is O.K. with no concussion symptoms or other damage. Payback next season in spades, I hope, but pulling out the win was a good start. Hopefully McClellan tears him a new one.

    I'm at region chorus and was helping with the room checks (my kids kicked ass, btw but can't say anything more specific than that until after lunch tomorrow when rankings are announced). What is the short recap?

    I'd say Pavel definitely has his backpack tonight. Light a mup and get us curly fries! (I wonder if the Larionov article fired him up).

    Sorry to make you miss the play. If I ever run into you face to face I'll buy you a dram of the Macallan.

    Sounds like Pavel put on his backpack with Zetterberg out. Recap of the play, please?

    Following on the thread since I'm pretty drained tonight. I'm DVRing the game, but any detail on the recap is appreciated.

    TANK IT! 2014-2015 Season

    You mean the tank is turning into a short bus?

    Zetterberg leaves after 2nd Period; "upper body injury"

    Benn should be facing a suspension, but since it was against a Red Wing, and Pronger is now employed by the department of player safety, I'm expecting to be disappointed. Still hoping Hank is OK. It would be only too fitting if next season, Benn went to hit Zetterberg and Hank went low like Stevie Y did on Pronger back in the day.

    Zetterberg leaves after 2nd Period; "upper body injury"

    I know the center match ups are not pretty, but Pavel is capable of putting on his backpack and carrying the team. Heck, he did it in he third and OT. If the rest of the team responds, look out. Still, let's keep hoping. Hank is fine until we hear otherwise.

    Zetterberg leaves after 2nd Period; "upper body injury"

    I'm hoping Z is fine, and if he is, some rest won't hurt. If it is a concussion, there will be the chance to pay Benn back next season with a clean hit or twelve as I don't believe they face Dallas again this year.

    2/21 GDT : Red Wings 7 at Dallas Stars 6 (OT)

    Great comeback win. I just watched the highlights of the third and OT. My cable started acting up and took my net with it so I ended up watching a movie with my wife. Hopefully Zetterberg is OK. Kindl scoring two was a nice surprise, and I believe Marchenko's helper was his first NHL point.

    No, but lots of playing like a pile of deuce, though.

    Just let them camp in front of Jimmy. To quote David Letterman in Warren Zevon's "The Hockey Song" - "HIT SOMEBODY!"

    2/21 GDT : Red Wings 7 at Dallas Stars 6 (OT)

    Wow, that was a really Maple Leafy sequence. Howard was screened pretty well, but you can't let Daley skate in unhindered like that.

    Is this the new tank-friendly version of Datsyuk is lazy and he sucks?

    2/21 GDT : Red Wings 7 at Dallas Stars 6 (OT)

    Stuck with the Dallas feed on center ice. After the Datsyuk goal, they said "Don't give that guy that chance. Ouch!"

    Pavel does his dangle thing and buries it!

    Howard with a nice stop on that breakaway. Just got in, what is the short recap?

    ''Twas too awesome for me to slight by referring to it in a post mentioning my ms paint skills.

    2/21 GDT : Red Wings 7 at Dallas Stars 6 (OT)

    I'm hoping Kindl plays well and racks up a couple of assists. Pairing him with DeKeyser makes sense since it is a bit of a safety valve to allow him to move the puck. Smith/Marchenko is going to gel into a good tandem, IMHO.

    2/21 GDT : Red Wings 7 at Dallas Stars 6 (OT)

    Looking forward to this one. Ring up two points with a scoring outburst coupled with 60 minutes of intense, focused play by the Wings. Hank, Goose, Tatar, Smith, Marchenko.

    Corey Crawford, you're gonna be on the news for that

    Osgood is very very sympathetic to Crawford after watching this replay.
