Thursday Dats in for Leino and Draper in for Maltby....

Just because the Wings win game 3 doesn't mean they would sweep. I wanted this game to go up 3-0 and really put htem in a hole, I will take the split any way on the road, but it would be nice to go up 3-0, but as long as we come home 3-1 then thats ok too!

One good thing about game 4, Hossa will score twice and shut up the idiots in Mellon-Head Arena...

I agree with most of what you are saying. Ozzie goals (all three) were weak, Pittscrap was hustling out there BUT, when they are allowed to play for :21 seconds with 6 skaters, when countless interference calls (both ways) were let go, when a horrible cross check to the ear of Frnzen is looked at and not called AND THEN the very, very weak call on Ericsson to decide the game? I would say folks have a ligit gripe at the reffing. Let alone the league for recinding Malkins instigator which should have sidelined him for this game, GUARNTEE on Wing does that and it doesn't get recinded. This has "Bettman" written all over it, from the Malkin Instigator to the weak call on Ericsson, to the allowance of 6 players on the ice. There you go Pit, you got your game from Fairy Bettman, enjoy it. This still ends in 5! (Bettman cannot control the outcome two games in a row can he?)

also on 97.1 it was said that the cap is going UP $12 million!?!? Does anyone have any kind of confirmation for this? I trust what Mike and Terry say, and if its true then that gives us what, $16-$18 million available? WOW!!!!

I think he's getting tired of all the Crysby hype. He sees the commercials, he sees the lovefest and genuinely doesn't like it as much as the next guy. He's a good ol' Michigan boy, he's a blue collar hard working man, not into pampering prissy ***** players. He won't last long in Pit with that attitude towards their (NHL) messiah. Good Luck Dan, whereever you go next year! Wings In 5!

if that is your case, then I guess Malkin needed Stuart to put the puck in his own net to get his only goal in two games then, right? Wings didn't need breaks last year? So the eventual game winner that Fluery s*** into the net wasn't a break? The fact that Hossa missed by inches almost tying it up at the end of game 6 wasn't a break? Dude, put the bud lite down and grab a real beer. These type of games by two great teams are won and lost from bad breaks or good breaks. One could argue both of Pits goals this year were the result of bad breaks for the Wings, giveaway (very rare) in game one, Stuart putting the puck into our net, it happens, bot not often. Turn those around and its two good breaks for you. Take those away and you are going home being shutout in the first two games AGAIN. You got to be lucky to be good. Don't worry, Crosbaby will have his multi point game, Bettman wil make sure of that (just like he made sure the instigator was recinded on Malkin so he doesn't get the suspension.) Your team will have their good breaks, you already have one, and you will probably win a game at home. This series ends at 5.

Osgood natural progression: Win 4th Stanley Cup, Become all time Wings career winningest goaltender regular season, play two more seasons, possibly 1 or 2 more Cups, retire #5 all time winnigest goaltender EVER, get number retired by Wings, get voted into Hall of Fame. PERIOD!

bend the rules for Pitscrap, why not? Yeah, pens are worse with Malkin in anyhow, especially if he cannot control himself, hey Malkin, how about doing thar in the beginning of the game? Oh BTW, what are the odds the ref gets fined or ousted from the playoffs, by Bettman for even calling the instigator to begin with? NHL network sad it themselves, you cannot suspend Malkin, it wouldn't be good for the NHL not having #71 in game 3. I think when Wisneiwski and Campbell refered to the Wings as gutless, they really meant the NHL is. Can't even eforce your own rules. That is why the NHL is ranked behind the World Poker Tour in television ratings... Hey Gary, I thought you were trying to rid the NHL of goonery like that? What's that? What? Oh! The NHL needs Malkin in the lineup.... ok, I see. How about we give Talbot a match penalty for spearing Osgood then? Give us something that shows you have a pair!

WoW! 1 goal (that we scored on ourselves) and people are panicking here! dudes it's 1 goal! They scored 1 goal yesterday, they played better yesterday, we still won! 40 minutes left! 5-1 Detroit! Go Wings!

No worries, they got better as the Columus series went on, they got better as the Ducks series went on, and they got better as the Hawks series went on. They will outshoot the pencils tonight nd win by a 5-1 margin...

We were lucky and got some good board bounces, so Osgood is cocky, whoopee fricking doo! A man with stats an awards has the right to be, Crysby has no business being cocky, he aint won s***,and if he dont pay better he may never! somone should tell this bafoon, that it aint going 7 so the law of averaves doesn't apply here!

Taking the nickname from Tony Stewart, Darren Helm aka Smoke! or maybe even Dash!

I never said it was inappropriate, but the WTC fell, you are referring to Helm as the aicraft that made them fall, so he wouldn't be the WTC, he'd be the aircraft. Then of course I had to reference the obvious inside job of 9/11. I wasn't dogging you at all...

The WTC is what fell, the opponenets should have that name if you want to reference that. In that case Helm would be the planes crashing into the WTC's, so he would be called "Inside Job."

To hell with Markie Mark, This is an Entourage!

1000!!!!

1000!!!!

Oh Yeah! We Got This!!!

LETS GO RED WINGS!

Chelios says " Babcock hates me?" Kid Rock: "Batibawa!" Piven: " Detroit Sucks!" Gretzky: "F$$K ME!"

GO WINGS!

didn't want to start a new thread with this, so I will talk about it here. I know alot of you are Not NASCAR fans andin fact I have be told to stop mentioning it () BUT this is relavent. NASCAR Nationwid Series driver Brian Keselowski drives the #26 Dodge and is from Rochester Hills drove a very special paint scheme the last two weeks, check them out! this one last week in Charlotte, Hurricane country. He said he did it in case the canes made it to the finals and possibly fae Detroit again. and this one this week in Dover to honor yet ANOTHER Wings Stanley Cup Final. I cannot wait to see what he drives when the Wings win the Cup again! Way to go Brian and way to go Mr. I for the sponsorship! Ok,back to Hockey! LETS GO RED WINGS!

Funny! I don't know if anyone noticed but you only cannot spell Crosby with C R Y, you also cannot spell it without S O B either! (not Son Of a B***h, but to Sob or Cry) So, you cannot spell Crosby with out Sob and Cry! Looks like he really is just a whiney sobbing crybaby! BTW, you cannot spell it without ROY either, yeah, theres another crybaby! WAH!!!!
