I bet if we got that deep into a SO and Abby had to go he'd put in a really nice one. He'd manage to somehow score one off his own buttocks or lose the puck and crossup himself up so bad it would fool the goalie.

Lupul should sue this guy

It's not libel if it was clearly intended to be a joke and not to be taken seriously, one of the most common defenses to it. The Onion is a perfect example. And comparing a rape threat to a kid who was just making an innocent joke? Seriously? Edit: http://www.theonion.com/articles/jay-cutler-ill-be-the-first-person-to-admit-we-nee,37422/ This article is a perfect example. Clearly a joke that some people took literally but not libel

Remember that this was basically the first time these lines have played together other than the 4th line. It wasn't pretty but I didn't expect it to be.

I love how professional athletes have stooped so low as to sue a high school kid for a joke he posted on twitter. Everyone is so uptight and can't take a joke anymore. It's a vulgarity I would assume and a statement made "not to be taken seriously" so Lupul and Phaneuf wouldn't have much of a case against the kid. TSN is a different story. Athletes and celebrities and mocked much worse in more believable ways. One high school kid making a tweet with no connection to the players was obviously made as a joke not to be taken seriously and that's defense against defamation.

Ddn't expect to see Abby and Cole on the same line. I could see Jurco switching lines with Abby or Cole mid game tommorrow if they haven't generated much offense

Kesler with the bad change leading to that goal

I can already tell this is going to be a rough week at work. I need a job that lets me nap for a few hours.

Speaking of Phaneuf this is funny to read. The most "homer" article of all time. http://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/2012/01/12/feschuk_nhlers_who_labelled_phaneuf_overrated_green_with_envy.html

Mrazek is a child in goalie years still

Yeah just went on "Insert site that cannot be named" and was wondering why there were no links available yet. I got fooled.

I traded Franzen, Kindl, and a 2nd rounder for Yandle and called up Teemu in NHL 15. I think Holland should just do that.

The Tatar Datsyuk line got going when Abby was in there so he easily could slide back in. It certainly felt like there was more Wings fans at the game tonight than Canes' fans.

Wow, I just moved to Raleigh this year and was excited to see the Red Wings play here Sunday. Abby is my favorite player and I had his Winter Classic jersey ready to go for Sunday, reading this just ruined my week.

I'd put Abdelkader there now. He isn't playing like a grinder anymore, he's making offensive plays.

I feel like that's the opposite of streaky.

Finally get to play the Cleary drinking game again tonight. Every time he falls down, I drink.

I'd like to see Franzen get a crack at being the 2nd line C with Nyquist and Tatar on the wings.

The backup played tonight. Quick is starting tommorrow.

There's one free game almost every night IIRC. Tonight happens to be the Wings-Pens. Edit: Is there a way to change username on here?

FWIW the Ducks announcers even knew that was a blown call

It's 42 regular season games or one Stanley Cup game.

Abdelkader can't stay on his feet. His hands aren't the best but I think his biggest problem is falling down or losing balance especially when in front of the net.

They have 4 arena's all together I think. But IIRC it's not "downtown" like this would be.
