    Forsberg out of game 4

    Personally, I'm aiming for the 8-11 musicians gig myself...classically trained music major becomes rock guitar hero...sounds good to me considering I couldn't find any college that had a "rockstar" program.

    Samuelsson Doubtful for Game 4?

    I think we can afford to tinker with the chemistry tonight if need be. With Forsberg, Smyth and Stastny out for the Av's and the fact that we seem to have Theo's number, I just can't imagine the Av's being able to put up too much of a fight for a victory. I doubt that Sammuelson will be out, but if it came true, I don't think we'd have anything to worry about tonight...

    Forsberg out of game 4

    The thing is though, we had/have the cap space and we have plenty of depth to afford the gamble. He would kinda be like a side-gig. Think like a businessman who happens to be a great musician too. He's got his 9-5 and it's more than enough money, but he's got the music gigs at night every now and again and the money he makes there is just a bonus. If it slows down, no deal, he's still got the 9-5 to get by. I'm not saying that I'm upset we didn't get him, but it wouldn't have been the blow to us as it is to a team that doesn't have as much depth.

    Franzen for Conn Smythe?

    Really getting ahead of ourselves here, but for the sake of discussion, if it ended today and we won, I'd say it's more likely to be between Osgood and Datsyuk. I'm thinking it'd be between Franzen, Osgood and Datsyuk though without a doubt and if it continues like it has, same deal. I would kinda expect Osgood to get it if he keeps those numbers up and wins a Cup. It'd be comparable to Franzen/Datsyuk stats but he's a goalie and it's a better story. Personally, I'm pulling for Datsyuk though I think...

    Playoff Parity

    Like Babcock said, you get past the first round you can settle down and get focused on just playing your game. In the Wings case, their game is strong. They'll still have holes to patch up from this series, but they worked some out from last series like the Power Play so I don't doubt that they'll get it under control for the Semi's.

    WCSF Game 3 GDT: Red Wings 4, Avalanche 3

    Well said, and it seems since Babcock's had time to put his stamp on the team, trim some fat and ice some goalies that can actually play, we've been fairly successful. Semi's last year and it's looking like we'll be there again pretty quick this year. I dig that.

    Out of the three 3-0 series leaders right now...

    I honestly think it's pretty even. They're all impressive. I think we can beat Dallas though. A Detroit-Pittsburgh Stanley Cup Final could be interesting. I won't vote though now b/c as said, I think it's even.

    Can/Should the Wings Sweep Colorado?

    I think there's a very, very good chance that this thing's over tomorrow for all the obvious reasons.

    I don't give a s*** what the masses think. Of course they'll be flipping out if we're down 0-2 to Dallas. Thank you for that brilliant observation. Do I care what the masses think? No. I look at the play going on and I express an opinion. He's playing great right now. So you're trying to tell me I shouldn't be objective in the moment incase it comes back to bite me in the butt? Sure, ok. As it stands right now based on numbers and just a general win/loss ratio, we've got the best goalie in the West. Fleury's the only one comparable and it's looking like the Pens are well on their way to making it to the Finals and I'll take Osgood over Turco any day of the week. I think we've got a pretty good shot. In any event, as it stands right now, Osgood's given more than enough reasons to deserve a little praise right now. It's tough to not notice your avatar and make assumptions, but you know, to hell with it...maybe it's time to get over it already, eh?

    I agree about the rebounds but he got it under control when it counted more than ever. He's just been strong...not crumbling at all when it gets a little tighter and just keeping it calm and then making big saves to keep us in it. He's just been great. Nothing short of it thus far.

    Go to hell Forsberg. It's not like they haven't gotten away with s***.

    f***!!! DISCIPLINE!!!!! What the hell? Honestly...they're getting close to deserving to lose this game.

    WCSF Game 3 GDT: Red Wings 4, Avalanche 3

    It's about discipline now. Stupid, stupid penalties and not tight enough play. Weak. They better finish this strong.

    Big save to make there for the Wings...that'd be rough to give up heading into the intermission...

    I take it back! Another power play goal. Is Theo gone? Can't really fault him much here...

    Not digging out power play here at all...take it back to the old school first period style boys...
