Heroes of Hockeytown

Tie game. Now let's goof off.

Overtime again? I officially have a Bad Feeling About This.

Gimme a break...

I nominate that last man advantage for ugliest PP of the year. Tense now... Cat and mouse game for another eleven minutes.

Won't hear any complaints from me. Pavel's been playing awesome hockey lately, even without Hank.

Not really. Saw him from time to time in Chicago, obviously, but I never really noticed how completely awesome this guy was 'til he pulled that winged wheel over his head.

Have I mentioned how much I like Calder? He might be my favorite Wing behind Hank and Nick at this point. What a pick up! Caldercaldercaldercaldercalder

This is Schneider at his best and worst. Jumping up in the play and ripping slappers on the PP, and giving the puck away like a bonehead. I love it! One of the best goals all season.

I like it. Two guys who bust their hump and a puck moving genius. Make it so!

Ugh. Three goalposts, missed 2-on-1, wasted 5-on-3, losing the game. BAH! Let's get the ball rollin' here. I smell a Calder goal comin' up.

I liked his giveaways better. He had a real nice one in the middle of the period there, had help on the boards and at the hash marks, no pressure whatsoever, sent a pass PERFECTLY in between both and right to a Pred at our blue line.

Shot through a screen, Oz had it for a moment, trickled through and Erat slammed it in. Power play goal.

Welcome to the New NHL... chintzy little hooks: check. Hits from behind (where the jackass comes flying across the from other side of the arena): no sir.

Man, I love the way Calder plays. No sweat on the post, Kyle.

Post, post, post, post...

Booo for not having three goals right now.

Men like gods.

I guess he was just talking about the adjustment he made mid-game (that yielded pretty much instant results), switching him from the second to third line.

I have found teh funneh. It was hiding in a sig all along: Keep on keepin' on, dude!

You got it, you got it.

I couldn't disagree more. I count my lucky stars every year that, even when the Wings don't win it all, I've had the wonderful opportunity to see them with the Stanley Cup three times. It's so hard to win it in this era with so many good teams and so much roster turnover, that to win it as much as they did in that small time frame was a huge accomplishment to me. You can talk all you want about payrolls and whatnot, but in the end you need to be just as good as you are lucky, and so the Red Wings orginization has been extremely blessed with their success in recent years. And you know, they worked too hard to get what they did, to just say "they shoulda won more." Talk about easier said than done.

^^^ Just wait 'til we get our hands on the box office numbers, Drapes, then we'll see who's laughing! Trivia: Robert Lang gained twenty pounds for his role as lead.

He's had just about everything at one time or another, but his current ailments are foot and groin, if I recall correctly. Though upper body could be wrist... or nothing, knowing how this time of year is.
