    Interesting ESPN polls

    The Yankees haven't won the World Series since 2000, nor even been to the Series since 2003. There hasn't really been a dominant team in baseball this decade the way the Lakers, Wings, and Patriots have been. It's the Red Sox if anyone.

    Questions about Hossa and Pittsburg

    Bravo for that link. BewareThePenguin, you've said repeatedly it's about how Hossa left, but if you've gone into detail about that, I've missed it.

    Should Draper be inserted into the lineup?

    Draper in, not only for the faceoffs, but we need his defensive abilities. He's a veteran who knows what's what.

    Cooke kicked Osgood?

    I'm confused. I thought the "payback" was Talbot spearing Osgood at the end of the game. Or was it Malkin trying to jump Zetterberg? Look man - it's clear what the Penguins are doing. Basically the same thing the Ducks tried to do. They still think the Wings are the soft European squad that won't hit. It's not working.

    The Hossa 'slash' (Dupuis broke his own stick)

    Tell whats-his-face to stop getting cheap discount sticks from China.

    You had me right there.

    Malkin's penalty rescinded (merged)

    Scoreboard. You know, I do my best to argue against the tide of folks who do nothing but complain about how this whole thing is a conspiracy against the Wings. And then the league goes and does something like this, and how am I supposed to maintain a case like that? Well, the Pens have no excuses now.

    Matt and Mod Appreciation Thread

    No, I like it right where it is. Maybe I'll even pin it

    Olczyk - biased analyst

    Uh, Darren Pang? How can you hate the Panger?

    I'm also thinking Talbot should have gotten a spearing penalty for his little jab at Osgood. It was pretty marginal and I guess you could make the case he was going for the puck, but still. Glad the refs at least called something, but that was a spear, not a slash.

    Wings Winning Because of our Goaltending

    I wouldn't go quite so far as to say he's standing on his head. But it's not far from that. Ozzie for Smythe for sure.

    Interesting, Pierre McGuire worked for Pitts Paper

    You mean the comments about Lidstrom being a "spectacular" captain? Or the ones about them being the professionals that they are?

    I like how the DJ pauses the music and lets the crowd take over.

    most useless 5 on 3 ever. Good to see the refs handed out the penalties though.

    Talbot. Talbot needs to put away for that spear. Cheap move.

    Someone had better being going to the box for that run at Ozzie.

    They sure can. Zetterberg with the defensive play of the game so far.

    HOLY CRAP that was a close one. No goal, but WHEW.

    Yeah, if there's one thing the Wings have been known for over the last twenty years or so, it's their trapping and their style of play that clogs the ice so skilled teams can't skate.

    I wanna see a replay of that sequence to find out how we didn't score. Yeesh.

    No, this is one-game magic only. If you owned this particular recliner you'd understand

    The Wings need to hurry up and score four or five more so I can get out of the lucky seat in front of the small TV and go back to my nice cushy La-Z-Boy.

    haha, dammit....I just moved from my big comfy recliner in front of the big TV to the little bitty one next to the computer. Guess I have to stay here now
