It's like Christmas in March. Thank god they got it back before playoffs.

How did you guys in Canada do last time you hosted the Olympics in the gold count? I recall you guys doing pretty well last time.

Don't forget the time difference of going from 7pm games to like 3 or 4 am games. People complain about staying up late for wings now due to them being in western conference it would give new meaning to being up late. 8 hour or so time difference would make scheduling games really interesting.

Offer him free curley fries every time a Wings player gets a hat trick and he'll have no choice but to come back next season for less money.

I'm looking forward to the season but, am not looking forward to hearing Rod Allen or that s***ty April in the D song. They posted the five finalists for the April in the D song and all 5 of them make me want to go deaf. I swear the songs get worse every year.

CBA negotiations Bettman: well guys we're willing to give you the Olympics but, in order to do that we have to cut something out of our budget due the the huge cost the Olympics pose to NHL "Evil laugh from Bettman". We're willing to let you guys go to the Olympics as long as you guys are willing to agree to a few terms first off we're getting rid of the players health insurance plan. Second anytime Crosby has the puck you are the get down on one knee and bow to him. These are both reasonable demands to allow you to play for your home countries. These steps will allow us to save the money that the Olympics cost us "Laughs again".

If he would of scored on his second shot would we've been hearing about how Russia's riding him to gold?

Russia chooses the wind

If the NHL changes one rule it'll just give Bettman an excuse to change 10 other things at the same time and screw up the game some more. If it isn't broken why fix it? The option wouldn't be bad for 2 min or the penalty shot but, there really isn't any reason it needs to be changed.

If NHL players aren't sent all of a sudden Switzerland's gold medal chances significantly increase. Of course Sweden and Russia would still be the favorites.

Yep and they officially renamed Team Canada Team Crosby. They are going to start waving flags with Crosby's face on them.

Russian powerplay needs Datsyuk.

Bettman might get jealous.

Nice goal. Hossa looks good on the line.

Shocked they didn't come back from intermission saying "Well during the intermission we were discussing how much better team Russia would be if they had Crosby. The only glaring weakness they have is the lack of having Crosby"

Why not have NHL VS Russian league game once a year for the hell of it? Having one league seems like a pain in the ass but, I think an exhibition game for some trophy of some sort would be pretty fun to watch.

Yay Crosby talk upcoming during intermission. Shocked they didn't ask Datsyuk what he thought about Crosby

I like this game it's a nice even match up unlike most of the games so far. It's enjoyable being able to watch a game that isn't totally one sided. Of course the Canada game earlier was nice. Being able to watch an underdog try to take out one of the favorites.

He has 3 channels nbc,versus and NHL network.

That looks like it'll get him a game or two suspension. Intentional or not the league won't ignore it.

Well those penalties really bit the ducks in the ass.

If ducks can score a few quick goals and make this game one sided it could turn into a good brawl.

The worst part must be missing all the Sakic retirment jearsy retirement. I would of hated it if I couldn't of seen Yzerman's. I can't imagine how pissed I would've been.

5-2 win for wings. Goals Zetta, Datsyuk, Bertuzzi, Franzen, Lidstrom

He's an Avs fan he doesn't deserve to get any games . Ok just kidding but, this is some bs. He'll eaither end up with center ice from them or end up really pissed off and cussing at them if he gets unlucky and gets a useless CSR.
