    Lidstrom practices (and other notes from practice)

    I thought Lidstrom injured his MCL in Colorado when Lapierriere's dirty hit caused his knee to twist.

    Foote Story Leaks Out

    Interesting, but it still doesn't change my opinion of Foote.

    Goalie Pads

    Actually, I might start referring to Michelin Man as Bibendum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin#Bibendum

    Goalie Pads

    He IS the Michelin Man, and I refuse to use any other moniker, including his given or family name, for the starting Ducks goalie.

    Interesting Portion of Schedule Coming Up

    Seriously, you didn't know? Still the NHL isn't going as far as I, nor the players it seems, would like. Even in pre-lockout years there were still too many intra-division games.

    Ovechkin First To 50

    Wow! Final score was 10-2. Ten freaking goals by one team! Ten goals and not even a Fedorov assist in sight. Ten goals and Fedorov finished with a +/- of 0. The Wings could have used a player like that.

    NHL vs. NBA attendance

    It's all the negative reporting in and around hockey. First you have you hockey haters. Secondly you have traditionalist hockey fans who hate newbies.

    NHL attempting to advertise itself?

    Stan Mikita was also in the first Wayne's World movie too.

    Foote Story Leaks Out

    Never liked Foote. Now even less, if possible, after reading that article.

    NHL attempting to advertise itself?

    I think it's just that Mike Myers is a hockey and Leafs fan. The movie company probably asked the NHL is it alright to use NHL logos, names, etc. and the NHL said yes. Myers also wore a Leafs jersey in Goldmember too. In another Austin Powers movie the crawl at the bottom mentions the Leafs winning the Cup. Also he's been on Letterman professing his love the Leafs.

    I'm very happy the NHL is changing it's schedule back to pre-lockout style.

    Lidstrom No Longer a Lock for the Norris?

    Shut your mouth!

    Ian Laperriere

    Bump. I'm still waiting for somebody to post a link where Lidstrom says Laperriere's hit on him was clean.

    Wings among trade deadline losers

    I don't think the Wings made a splash at this trade deadline, but I'd have a hard time saying they were losers at the deadline. In the end it's just one man's opinion.

    Ryan Smyth

    Clean hit. I was expecting to see something like a Scott Stevens hit.

    Ian Laperriere

    Show me where Lidstrom said it wasn't a dirty hit? Here's where he said Laperriere's elbow hit him. "I've been hit before, but his elbow came up and my head hit the glass," said Lidstrom. "I don't think I've been hit like that, maybe once or twice like that before. Not too often. I've been hit really hard, but not the way I went into the boards." Chelios said it was dirty hit too. “Well it was clean until his elbow came up and caught him in the jaw. The whole reason why Nick got hurt was because he hit his head on the glass and what happens often to a boxer is you get hit in the jaw and your legs go out on you, and he twisted his knee on the way down. It was clean initially but the fact that the mark on the jaw was proof and the fact that he hit his head off the glass, I think it would’ve been two minutes.

    question about nhl jersey's with lettering

    I've heard about this about authentic jerseys from nhl.com. It's a real shame the NHL is screwing fans like this. First they change them so they're supposed to be better, then they pull these shenanigans. It's more fuel for the fire. I've posted it many times before, but I'll never buy another NHL jersey again.

    Should Bettman resign?

    If he doesn't resign, he should takin' out. Nothing personal, strictly business.

    Yes, and before Richards acquisition too.

    I'm surprised the Wings are that high on the list.

    NBA 2007-2008 SEASON

    Well NBA Season started yesterday. This is the best thing going that I could find about it.

    2/22 GDT: Flames 1, Red Griffins 0

    Both teams played well from what I could tell, and yeah the Wings are reeling from injuries. Still they'd be the first to tell us that's not an excuse. Also it's not like they're missing a player from their top line. The Wings' scoring prowess is missing in action. The Wings need to step it up a notch or two, because the teams they're playing against have. They will miss the playoffs at this rate. If they make it they will certainly lose without their scoring touch. It's a game like this they traditionally seem to lose in the playoffs too.

    NHL GM's Declare War on Goalies

    Yeah 400 was the slowest bullet speed and 100 was the fastest puck speed I found in in my brief search.
