    Guerin's a power forward?

    Hey, let's talk about "the slash" some more.

    Exactly. This is basically just NBC trying to milk the Hossa storyline.

    Two words: Anaheim Ducks.

    I love Dave Strader's work. I think Doc is solid overall. The reason I harp on the things Ed says is because, frankly, he says things worth harping on. Which is a nice way of saying he's a jackass.

    He's been talking the same points throughout this entire run. He doesn't want more power plays -- he wants more Pens power plays. And it's nauseatingly evident.

    "Niklas Ericsson." God I hate Versus.

    MAF's going to have nightmares tonight.

    Oh hey, it's another monologue about Detroit's "subtlety." Awesome.

    "Nice little subtle interference there by Kronwall." - Ed

    That's a "crosscheck," but the 33 behind-the-back two-handers given by the Pens are...?

    Awww, Crosby's game improves against our third D pairing. How cute.

    And are they going to show a replay of that hit? Of course not.

    Also, there was no damn slash on that play. MAYBE a hook, but with the way the refs have swallowed their whistles...

    God, Malkin is great for us.

    "I think Hossa could've gotten a penalty..." Let's call that ten.

    This makes the ninth time these playoffs that Ed has referenced "interference" on a Wings goal.
  18. Dabura

    SCF GAME 2 GDT: Penguins 1 at Red Wings 3

    No, he will. And he'll get the Conn Smythe for doing it. "What a guy!"

    Pavel Datsyuk, Kris Draper remain out for game 2

    I guess this rules out my "ruse" theory. You don't miss two games of the SCF unless it's really serious. I'm reluctant to say it's a broken foot. I don't think he'd be day-to-day with a broken foot. I'm thinking it could instead be a deep bruise, like Kira suggested, or maybe a minor fracture. I fractured the growth plate in my foot once and the recovery trajectory was totally erratic.

    Wings/Pens Coldplay Intro video on CBC tonight

    I was thinking of that song when I was listening to the Pens' presser last night. *twilight zone music*

    Helm's Potential

    This. Not to knock the guy, but I've said a few times before that I think the big reason Babs doesn't play him in the regular season is so that he can fire on all cylinders come the postseason. Which is fine with me, seeing as how the postseason is all that matters.

    Crosby and Malkin... who are they?

    1. They're both great talents 2. They do benefit from playing in the EC (ultimately, though, this could stunt their development, as others have mentioned) 3. The Wings know how to smother them. That is to say: they disappear, yes, but only because they're forced into invisibility 4. If I could have one of Getzlaf and Crosby on my team, I'd pick the former. I don't think there's a more dominant, imposing forward in the league 5. Pens suck

    I just noticed you have a Neko Case quote in your sig. +1

    Two messages sent: 1. The Wings are better and hungrier. 2. The refs side with the Pens.
  25. Or we could blame Versus for sucking.
