Haha. I don't know if life works out that way unless you just constantly adopt an aura of vengefulness like Michael Jordan.

Oooh I'm sorry wrong answer. The script goes as follows: Uncle Rico: Back in '82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile. Kip: Are you serious? Uncle Rico: I'm dead serious.

Are you serious?

VAN vs NAS is one of those games you wish both would lose but but then both end up getting a point.

Who else is on that list? I know Zetterberg for sure is on that list.

Pray to the finger Gods. Hard.

Why exactly is Anthony Stewart on waivers?

Depends on the part of Russia. Datsyuk and Malkin grew up right near the Russia/Asia border. (Ninja jokes about Datsyuk anyone?) But I think Datsyuk and Kovalchuk grew up not too far apart from each other so maybe Schenn did get ninja warriored.

Babs probably wishes that the Wings would secretly execute a power play style like the Bruins. I don't know how good theirs is statistically but they just seem to get pucks through and to the net for second and third chances.

That hit on Hemsky might be the cleanest hit I've ever seen from Kronwall.

Soft Euro jokes anyone?

Just had to have a multipoint game against DET didn't he?

You know I had a nightmare that Zetterberg retired after this season... Ugh... But anyhow I think Zetterberg has always had to fight a lot of the battles along the boards for his line. Perhaps he's had to do that more this year than any other year, I'm not sure. If that's the case, then that can definitely wear on a player who isn't used to it. I think his speed is really impacted. A lot of times you'll see him skate from the wing or wherever towards the net but then he'll turn back and pass it to the blue line. Maybe with the extra gear he would have took it closer to the net, if not directly to the net, or draw in more defenders then pass it off to someone. You're right that he hasn't always been the fastest skater. But he used to really fly out there in his own way and we haven't seen that all that much. I also think his confidence isn't where it used to be perhaps because of the injuries. I don't think his confidence is shot but it's simply not as high as it used to be. When you try to do certain things on the ice that you really like to do but can't execute like you used to because your body is being a pain then undoubtedly your performance will suffer. Furthermore I think those low percentage shots are a part of his whole process or struggle with trying to find a different way to be effective. Plus I think we need to cut him (or any player for that matter) a little slack when we compare the way he plays now to his past playoff performances. Coaches and players in the league say all that time that the playoffs are like the fountain of youth; that the playoff style makes you feel like an 18 year old kid again. For Z's sake I just hope he gets better and better little by little as the year progresses.

Just out of curiosity what has the Swedish media been reporting on Zetterberg in regards to his play? I'm sure someone has asked him about his production. I wonder what his response has been. Especially since a Swede (or any European for that matter) is a little more candid and open with the media from their country.

I remember Brian Burke saying that the shootout is the equivalent to quarterbacks doing target practice with tires, implying that it's too easy and such. Off the top of my head I can't really name that many players who hover around 50% or better.

Same. Well, for most of the time. Not afraid to put him in trade requests.

Hey... Bobby Loo let in three goals. At least he didn't let in four.

Not enough. Go back to the drawing board.

Damn. Well that sucks. But you know this could be good for Conks. The team really, really needs him to be good now.

What about your other son? Ernie?

He should also have a Selke trophy as well.

It doesn't really seem to be getting much better for Eaves.

He's kind of our future captain somewhat by default but nonetheless our future captain. I'm reminded of the "Trade Datsyuk for Thornton" ideas. Ah, memories.
