And I got out of my last two speeding tickets.
The person below me has been in a car accident

I miss Homer and the old grind line. Those were the days.

Watched every second of the Roy video. Remember that game very well. The statue of liberty goal in Game 6 was just as good. Hasek stood on his head that year.

Why not Minot?
You should be able to go into a local sports bar to catch the game
-
No reason to change anything unless we have an injury. The extra day off should help that. Maybe for Game 5 he would be better suited to play if someone gets dinged up

Staying out of the box and playing solid hard nosed defense is critical. Lidstrom was so damned good at staying out of the box and we had our other d-men taking minors in big games. If these guys can keep playing physical without getting penalized we are going to continue playing for a few more weeks.

Hope Babs tells them they are soft every game. The boys have been pushing hard the last two games. We need to go up 3-1 and deflate the Hawks

With only 48 games in a very short time, we need guys healthy. This is going to be a sprint to the playoffs

The old days of signing who you want and blockbuster trade deadline deals are long done. Elite talent surrounded by the right role players and a hot goalie come playoff time will win Cups. Its a formula the front office needs to adapt to.

There is no conceivable way to compare anyone in the entire league or on our roster to Lidstrom. He was a god among men on the ice.
Kronwall & Ericsson both could be #1 d men. But no one in the entire league is on par with Lidstrom back there.

I'd pass. Time to get younger and not add older legs

You're comparing two different leagues though. Swiss hockey v Swedish hockey. That really is my question. How do stats from another league translate to the NHL? Guess we'll find out real soon!

Never thought I'd say this, but the Blues can make a run for the Cup this year. Look at the last few Cup winners.Chicago 2010
Boston 2011
Los Angeles 2012
All those franchises have been around for a while, and either never won the Cup (like LA), or had gone four or five decades without winning one. That pattern could fit the Blues. And I don't see either Philly or Toronto making a Cup run this year.
And yes, Vancouver also could fit that pattern.
Each season stands on its own. That pattern really is just a coincidence. The team that gets hot in the postseason with stellar goalie play is going to win the Cup every year. The best team doesn't always win it all.

Lots can happen in a short season. Only hope is that we make it into the playoffs healthy and ready to roll for a shot at Stanley
-
You know what I want them to do for the fans?Win the Cup.
Then let each of us spend a day with it. (Not holding my breath on that one.)
Winning the Cup would be a good start.

I just want to know if the hype on this guy is legit. Can a guy put up these numbers in Europe and then step over and do the same in the NHL?

Howard is the future of this team and if this is what the future looks like we are very lucky. He's cool and calm. He did have two bad games in the series but as long as the team in front of him plays sound he stops the puck. He's been getting beat on redirects, power plays and a few breakaways. He has been solid.
Trust me when I say this because we used to have major flame wars back in the old days when Cujo was goalie, Howard is the real deal.
-
We wanted it more and we played like it. You can NOT bottle that up every night. Wish there was an answer for that but the team has to keep playing hard and they will have good things happen. Minimizing turnovers and converting power plays is huge for our team
-
Ovie better bring his A game
-
Happy Birthday Nick! Great job last night.
-
Man the Wings came out very hungry. Guess the last Game 7 they played they weren't happy with.
-
Waiting for Franzen to get some goals. Glad to see fatty Bertuzzi get one. Lets Go Red Wings

Bring on the Sharks. 4 down, 12 to go
Helm Status Update

Sucks that Helm is out but we need him healthy. He can't risk a bad back injury. No sense letting him take a hit and worsening the situation. Ride with the guys we have
