While it might not look bad it wouldn't look better, if it ain't broke don't fix it x10

Lebda received both a concussion and damaged his ankle during the play. For the record Langkow deserves to be knocked unconscious for that little show he put on, pretending to be injured after words was a total ***** move. Furthermore all the infinite wisdom on the universe can not accurately describe how a ref of NHL caliber, let along a playoff ref botched that call so pathetically.

Who?

Now I remember why we always struggle on these western Canadian road trips, we always get hosed on penalties. Not that what we're doig aren't penalties but how many interference, tripping and holding penalties have the Flames gotten away with so far? Than god Osgood's been superhuman tonight or this could be another game the refs rape from us.

I've been going back and forth in my mind about which is worse between that little gem and "Hanta Yo." To sum it up, the only constant in either choice is that Ron Wilson is indeed an idiot.

So in other words there is now a reason to bother watching this game.

Should be an easy win for us... Meaning we lose in a shoot out or OT. Yes, just full of optimism tonight.

This isn't true. This is.

Wait.... Joe Thornton played last night? I must not have noticed

I dunno if it's the cough syrup speaking for me right now but I think hockey needs something like a challenge system, a la NFL. Of course you'd need more than a single time out for that t work, but it pisses me off that crap like Homer's phantom goalie interference calls can't be reviewed.

I noticed that too and it is indeed an error. I also saw box scores listing Marleau i the 3rd period and after the game, Rissmiller at -5 at separate times. Edit: just saw your edit, yeah they're defintely wrong.

I support this expansion of the vernacular, though it should more or less mean any combination of goals and phantom goalie interference calls removing goals that make the effort. The purest Homer Hat trick being 3 straight BS interference calls. Anyways great game tonight, very little to be disappointed over.

Just 2 million? That strikes me as odd as he held out on us when we gave him 500k more last season. Oh well water under the bridge.

Crap they just mentioned Danny Markov, what was that all about I came into the conversation rather late? Did they say he was heading back to Russia?

I told myself I'd be happy with anything below 2mil so this deal sounds great. I'm hoping it ensues that he retires a wing.

Canucks seem to have our number, I always thought it was due to Bertuzzi who always had big games against us but they seemed even better last year. Of course we always struggle more than any good team, should against solid goaltending too. With that being said I see us dropping this one 3-1, with them mostly scoring on PP's caused by lame, non-game effecting calls. Could be a rough night for Homer and the three feet of air surrounding him that seems hellbent on reaching the league lead in 2 minute minors.

You know it's something truly special when the coaches get involved, great video!

While Ztterberg has been the best player in the league so far, I like your nameing another player angle, in which case I say Mats Sundin so far. Great offensive numbers on a relatively sub par team to go with his +7.

Just did a little math and thus far Zetterberg's on pace for a 64 goal, 91 assist, 155 point season with a +46, not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Hmm wonder were the interference call was on that play? NHL has far and away the crappiest refs of any sport, it badly badly needs to be fixed. Either way break time for me, I can't watch this s***.

Looks lik Homer's moving in on Lilja's phantom penalty record.

I'll be off watching UFC 77 so I'll likely miss this game. Should by all means be an easy win for us but as we always know al to often that isn't the case. Aebischer has had some pretty phenomenal games against us in the past so I expect this one to be close than most are assuming, of course barring horrible officiating we walk away with a W.

I say he ends his career playing one year for the Avalanche then gets his jersey raised to the rafters of the Pepsi Center after he wins the cup! Edit: If any one takes this post seriously they need to step outside, take a long walk and recontemplate their life.

Top three in order for me would be, 1) Drafting Zetterberg, 2) Drafting Dats, and 3) the Chelios trade. Worst would be the collective effort to strip this team of all toughness in recent years.

God, how pathetic is it that I specifically looked on this forum for a thread about this fight, wanting to see it myself. This is just how starved us Wings fans are for this sort of thing. Do you think the message forum of any other team creates a separate thread for each fighting major acquired thus far?
