Nothing personal Mack because I've seen it used a lot on the internet, but "Haters" is such a stupid word! It's so wussy. It's like you can't say anything negative, have a different opinion, or give someone a hard time for fun without being called a "hater". Edit: I guess I'm a hater for not liking the word hater

SDavis35 sent me a link to this on facebook. Someone made a facebook event for a Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Parade on June 14. I got in a good comment on the wall http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=103447322058

Right, I was just going to say that. You know it's early when, Kopecky is a point a game player and tonight's game in Toronto is between two 1st place teams, Islanders @ Maple Leafs.

I think all 3 on 3 will do is create more line changes and shorter shifts because guys will tire out fast. Also just like 4 on 4, the puck will be leaving the zone more often, and teams will have to get back on side more.

Yea I don't like the sound of that either.

I got an idea, how 'bout we just go regular 5 on 5 for 5 minutes for OT, and if no one scores in the 5 minutes it's a tie and each team gets a point? Also, shootouts sucks! They're such a letdown after a great game. Seriously I HATE 4 on 4. There's a number of times each overtime a puck leaves the zone when it's 4 on 4, when if there was a fifth guy on the ice, the puck would have been stopped at the blue line and fired back on net, dumped behind the net for a fore-check, or passed to a teammate. Personally I don't think 4 on 4 creates any more offense than 5 on 5, in fact I think it takes it away when the puck goes out of the zone more often, and teams need to get back onside. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Thanks for the info. I go to Windsor a lot, my Mom's side of the family is from there, I should go on one of those weekends!

Here we go, I think this guy has had way to much of a negative effect on guys like Getzlaf and Perry. I'll add Cry Baby Crosby, Iginla, and Thornton to those guys too. http://sports.ca.msn.com/other/photos/gallery.aspx?cp-documentid=25934927&page=7

That's what Saturday's are for!

Impressive!

Where'd you get that from?

Yup, right here, written out twice too http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/index.php/topic/67020-wings-need-a-goalie/page__st__20

From the article http://blog.mlive.com/ottoman-empire/2010/10/chris_osgoods_time_in_net_for_red_wings_is_over.html Ummm Howard is the starter, Ozzie's gonna play about 25 games. Also: Ummm again, the offense only scored once.

Holmstrom

Yea this is what I find very funny about the opening post. It's not like Draper is taking ice time from someone younger, he's injured! He hasn't played yet!

I think he's going 2 more years after this year.

Sigh, here we go again... Come on, it's not like Ozzie and Draper are playing a lot. If Ozzie was the #1 goalie, and Draper was playing 1st or 2nd line minutes, then yes there's a problem. We're talking about 25 starts, and 4th line minutes here! They're role players. Plus with Draper's injury, how can you criticize someone who hasn't even played a game yet?

We're fine. After 4 games we're 2-1-1, that's another 100 point season. Good rant! I especially like your opening sentence, that made me laugh.

Good to hear. Miller I don't have much interest in getting an autograph of either, but I would feel sorry for them if the turn out was low.

I hope for his sake he gets a good response. Again, nothing against Eaves, but he'd probably be one of the last guys on the team I'd pay to get an autograph of.

Nothing against Eaves, but seriously how many people are going line up and pay to have him sign something? Lindsay could ask for a lot more, good for him for keeping the price reasonable!

Right, Championships are won with 3rd and 4th lines. As good as the Hawks top 2 lines are, we can match it, a lot of teams can. It's the 3rd and 4th lines that are the difference makers. Maltby-Draper-McCarty is why we've won 4 Stanley Cups and 6 Western Conference Championships.

I give them full credit for being 3-0, but I agree. Montreal had some big injuries and Price played despite just getting over the flu, Ottawa's goal tending sucks and they also played the night before, and Pittsburgh can't win at home for some reason. Maybe I'm over analyzing but there's still 79 games to go. Plus Pittsburgh is 1-3 and Chicago is 1-2-1, there's no way that continues.

Nice, I have the NHL Center Ice free preview until October 24th, I'll be able to watch this one on tv, and not have to use the computer to follow along.

Funny that I was cheering for the Leafs and the Preds tonight, two teams I don't like, however anyone but the Black Hawks and Pens! Go Wings!
