Better D will always help pad GAA. SV% is all goalie.

Other players quickly stepped in and broke it up. They both laughed it off afterwards but were able to throw some real blows. I don't see it as a big deal. This surely happens more often than we think. Scraps like that happen pretty regularly on competitive teams . . . it's a good outlet for frustration and can actually be a good thing for team chemistry. Sometimes someone just needs to be given a message so they pull their head out of their ass. Maybe thats how Cleary keeps getting black eyes. Downey picks on him during practice.

4-2 Blues Draper and Z score for us.

Like last year when Ozzy was out half the year from injuries, and Hasek missed maybe a week or two altogether?

"Ok, players. You're not fast enough. We're implanting microwaves into your skates. Goalies, your gear is too big again, we're gonna have to ask you to size down some more. Oh, and we're thinking about bigger nets too. We also think you'd be good glued down to the ice so you can't have any way to play that puck."

Yeah, cause Giguere's illegal gear makes him a a big ol' cheater.

You're God damn right it does, Wikipedia.

I've heard a different song before after (double negative?) he's scored a goal. Definitely a russian tune.

Curse Youtube, cause every clip I can find of a lone goal has "Hey Hey Hockeytown" in the background, but I'm 90% sure it's some variation of the Tetris theme.

Music A from Tetris would be the song.

For the love of God, Giggy's gear is legal. Every goalie has a different body. Some are taller and some weight more. Not all equipment is sized the same either. The bottom line however, is it's all legal. Not to mention almost every goalie plays the game differently. Giguere heightens his shoulders and sqaures up to every shot, while most other goalies throw a limb at the shot.

Just thought I'd bring this back.

He is talking about wanting anything from the Blackhawks. You know, the division rival and team that beat us twice this season? Before you call someone out like that, make sure you know what you are talking about.

I kind of like it, it gives the Wings jersey a unique flavor to it, and I'll always remember the C being on the other side for Yzerman's reign as captain. (Excluding the one year Lids wore it on that side)

"Alright! Let's give players every technological advance we can come up with! Heated skate blades, composite sticks with holes in them for more aerodynamics, jerseys to make them faster.... ....oh, and you goalies....your pads are big. We need you to wear some shin guards. We also want the nets bigger." - Gary Bettman

Be careful, that kinda thinking is dangerous around here.

He's currently breaking in some new Itech R-X9s to match the gloves.

2-4 Edmonton EDM: (Checks EDM lineup for any former Wings.....nope) Souray (PP), Horcoff x2 (One PP), Reasoner DET: Zetterberg (PP), Sammeulson

I voted: 1 Montreal 16 Columbus 8 Calgary 9 Tampa Bay 5 Detroit 12 Dallas (Damn them for making me have to choose.) 4 Boston 13 San Jose 6 Toronto 11 Vancouver 3 N.Y. Rangers 14 N.Y. Islanders 7 Pittsburgh 10 Washington 2 Chicago 15 Florida

I predicted a Blackhawks win, along with a Raffy and Lang goal. Kane's goal just didn't count.

We beat the defending Stanley Cup champions in a SO minus their starting goaltender and defenseman (Giggy and Schneider) .and they're two best players that year's playoffs (Nieds and Selanne). Not to mention they just got back from London.

3-2 s***cago. CHI: Kane, Lang, and Sharpe DET: Rafalski and Hudler
