    Absolutely not. Another reputation call.

    ^ THIS. I'm not one for the referee's swallowing their whistles, but if you're going to waive off a goal you had better be damn sure there's an infraction there. Just what Babcock said in Game 4 of the WCF -- don't make things up. It's ridiculous and I'm sure the Wings' front office is going apes*** right now.

    Osgood was outstanding in that first period. Absolutely phenomenal.

    All things considered it was a good period for Detroit -- just the fact that it's 0-0 after spending half the period shorthanded one some chincy calls and one GOAL. It's amazing the bulls*** that's been going on for Holmstrom. Absolutely amazing. I did like Babcock's "So, tell me what you ******* saw" when he motioned the referee over. *waits for referee response* *Babcock laughs*

    Hey Malone, did you forget to get your elbow and stick up there? Just checking. Putz.

    Raise your hand if!

    I know that there are a good number of members here that have been around prior to the 2002 Cup run, but the immense traffic -- and a poor host -- back during that playoff run meant the site was repeatedly crippled due to immense traffic. It broke the database several times and the forum had to be re-installed -- complete with everyone having to re-register. However, since then the traffic has been much higher and outside of a few hiccups here and there everything's been running smoothly.

    Free Press Wings Fan "Cheer Cards"

    Which isn't a problem at all -- it's FANTASTIC -- but only if it's the original artist is the one that submits it. Unfortunately that wasn't the case with a good number of them.

    Pittsburgh fish market: No octopi for Wings fans

    Oh, the octopi will find a way onto the Igloo ice... They can't stop it, they can only hope to contain it.

    HDTV

    Yeah, I'm chomping at the bit to get a basement with room for a dedicated home theater/man-cave area. Right now the whole setup resides in the "family room" of the house, so it gets a ton of traffic. Not to mention it's right by the kid's rooms... I'm hoping that putting a whole floor between the rooms in the next house will allow me to actually blast it... it's been so, so muted since I had the kids.

    HDTV

    57" Sony with 7.1 surround. TV is getting a bit "long in the tooth" (5 years old now) and I'm looking to getting a nice, big new one to mount up on the wall once we move (whenever that is). Once you go HD you go never go back. I don't know how I watched hockey without it.

    Dispelling some myths: the Pittsburgh Penguins

    So far through the first three rounds the Penguins haven't played the Red Wings, have they? You know, only the best puck-possession team in the NHL. If you're happy with the likelihood that the Penguins will be chasing down the puck around 60% of the time for the first 15-40 seconds following faceoffs, so be it. I don't mind the wasted energy.

    Free Press Wings Fan "Cheer Cards"

    It has come to my attention that a member here, Chrissy_Chris, has submitted a large number of the creations in the "Photoshop War" thread here to the Free Press under her own name in the contest. I've contacted the Free Press about this and have restricted permissions here for that member.

    Awesome Stanley Cup Finals Commercial

    I'd have to say that's one of the best hockey commercials I've seen. Ever.
  19. FWIW, I don't have any problems with what Malone said -- that's hockey. Now saying it and being able to do it out there are completely different. Kronwall picks his spots very, very well.
  20. Still the regular season mindset? I wouldn't mind "big George" finding himself in the penalty box for after-the-whistle foolishness, so go right ahead. As long as it's a clean hit then the Penguins player that gets plastered should've kept his head up. Any "retribution" at this stage of the post-season is asking for trouble. ------ Anyone want to place any bets on who Kronwall pastes in Game 1? My pick is Dupuis.
