Backman......Jim Nill loves his Swedish D-Men!

For Cole, it cant be mor than Ferraro and Callahan....maybe Aubry

That is only 0.00083% of his $6,000,000 salary....that'd be like me getting fined $67! I have a feeling I'd miss the $67 more than he is going to miss the $5000. NHLPA is some bulls***. In the video he even lifted his leg way back in the opposite direction to get a good whack at Smith. I've never seen a worse slew foot, and am I hearing right that Smith is the one who got a hooking penalty on the play? Wow NHL, Wow....

Two words on Jimmy....Manny Legace. I love the guy (Manny) but he couldn't win the playoff series...great in the regular season, but failed come big time game. Sorry Waz!

Yes, he will be the PO starter, but I believe Mrazek will be in WHEN Jimmy s***s the bed. That being said, Jimmy has a ton to prove this playoff. $5M+ to lose ALL the big games is asinine. If/When Jimmy s***s himself again, he should be traded in the off season. NTC or not, he can be convinced to waive it. Re-sign Monster and he will back up Mrazek. Jimmy is the main reason they lost in Anaheim, and he was the reason they nearly lost in Dallas. s***ty goals given up when his team depends on him.

I heard about the beat down from a teammate, but I thought I heard it was Rod Brind'Amour's wife, and it was more than one teammate that gave Lindors a "Blanket Party." Either way, still a Dick. and Yzerman, as great as he was, was a whiner. You seen it all the time on the ice, his lips always complaining about crap. I am not surprised he is on a short list of whiners. I guess Stewart never got to referee a game when Crosby got here!

When they made it 2-1, that's when Babcock should have called the TO. I felt like the whole period up until then they were getting more confident, then when Jimmy crapped himself, the TO should have been called. But nope, we waited until Jimmy totally s*** stained the ice. Good on the boys for battling back for the point, too bad they couldn't rely on Jimmy to keep them in the game...so sad.

if not for Howard, we'd be in first overall in the NHL.

nobody here can defend Howard. He was total blame for this entire s*** stain. He s*** the bed in Dallas, he was the entire blame tonight. How much longer do we have to put up with this poor excuse for a goalie?

wtf was that Howard?

fixed

all three of those goals are on Howard. No doubt. This is why Howard will never be a Cup goalie. Worst rebound control in the world. Bring Mrazek back up. Howard blows.

What are you talking about? Ericsson hit him with his purse...kind of reminds me when Lidstrom got run in Colorado and Downey didn't do anything.....oh wait. NOBODY should be able to take shots at your captain that way. Somebaody, anybody should have dropped their gloves. That s*** HAS to happen!

Ya, even as much as I like to speculate and fantasize, I am at least going to wait to see what happens March 2 before I predict the lineup. Any one of Jurco, Andersson, Smith, Helm, Kindl or Quincey could be gone come March 2 in a trade. Hopefully, none of Nyquist, Tatar, Sheahan and Pulk are dealt on March 2. Then again nobody could be dealt. I will say though, I do believe Franzen will go the route of Pronger retirement... Weiss MIGHT waive his NTC back to Florida is Holland tries to get Campbell...highly doubt it, but its a possibility...I do believe though, if Q is not part of a package (and he hasn't been so horrible, even though I still don't like him) I think he will play out his contract since the "kids" aren't out of options until 16-17... Maybe Holland gets Petry or Wiz or Yandle, etc... its just too hard to predict next years team until at least March 2. Then it may all change again July 1!

I thought players aren't allowed to nearly stop on shootouts anymore? Glad we won, but I swear that rule was put into effect...guess not.

Chicago trying for the shootout...but so does most teams against Detroit. Can you blame them?

I am far from a Jimmy fan, but Kronwall pushed Toews into Howard and then threw the puck in his own net. No penalty, not Howards fault... I still don't like him though...

lol, dumb luck...

crowd mad because no one saw the man in the grassy knoll that shot Shaw...

boy Helm sure drags that line down

boy, we'd score some goals if our 4th liners weren't playing on our top lines...Helm and Abby, I am looking at you...

wow, how many hooks were missed on Nyquist?

did Crawford just throw his goalstick to save that? Isn't that a penalty shot?

can't catch them all...but what happened to if you aren't sure, blow the whistle, no harm if its onside. Real harm if you screw the call like it was.

This doesn't have to be a showcase...maybe they are just looking for some spark to the offense? Hey, while we are speculating, Jurco is out tonight...maybe Jurco is the trade bait?
