Larkin to Hank, sweet fake by Hank to Abby and SCORE!!

Unless and until it affects the world of hockey, this topic belongs in the Water Cooler, especially considering how the last one went. Please tread carefully.

Let's keep this to last night's game, not about perceived holes in defense or players you wish to acquire. There are appropriate threads for those discussions.

No freakin' way that should be called goaltender interference. GOOD GOAL!!!

I've seen worse hits get nothing and more minor infractions get suspensions. I guess it's a "Throw a Dart" decision. NBCSP hasn't mentioned whether Jurco's in the quiet room or not. Hope he's okay.

I too hadn't considered this, but can you imagine what this kid could do if he actually has a switch to flip? I'd be happy with him continuing his current level of play into the post season, but playoff Larkin could be truly amazing.

Torts' coaching prowess or lack thereof is not the subject at hand. Let's get back to the trade, shall we?

This is one of the biggest no-brainer moves in hockey history. They went from poor/mediocre to leading the league in 2 years.

I want this one. I want this one bad. As a former Sharks STH, I lost all respect for them when they played the Nucks in the WCF and it was an Olympic diving competition. I will not be watching this one, but I will pre-emptively leave YGJB here.

Big E is back tonight. What the hell, maybe that will shake things up a little.

We now return to our regularly scheduled *insert digusted noun here.*

Closed temporarily for cleanup.

And almost another shorty. WTH?

And 4 minutes at that. Almost had a shorty scored on us. Great start.

"Reasonable" is a relative term. I would suggest you do a landmark search at a booking site like hotels.com or expedia. There are 3 hotels within spitting distance of the Joe, but I don't think you're going to get one for less than 150. There's also the casinos, but again, probably not less than 150 - 200. You can always look though.

Ozzie's doing color tonight.

My feed is completely gone. I don't know if it's FOX Sports or cable in general because of the weather (I don't dare change the channel to find out JIC), so any updates if everyone else has a feed would be great.

My birthday's close to the end of the year so I chose from both, but I was still 24. Not much good happened when I was 24. Indira Ghandi was assassinated. 20 dead and 16 injured in what I believe was the first ever McDonald's shooting. Bernie Goetz gets his 15 minutes of fame. AIDS is identified. I got married. Stonewashed jeans are introduced. New Coke. Crack cocaine appears. On a lighter note: Tigers win the world series. Apple releases the McIntosh. LIVE AID airs and Freddie Mercury claims dominion over the world. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opens. Stefan was our starting goalie.

I hope things have changed, but I seem to remember the Wild being a real snoozefest. Do they still play the trap from here to eternity?

FanaticU.com and, believe it or not, jcpenny.com.

Yes, but we're not trading for Miller, are we?

Hmmmm, I came in here for a reason. What was it? Oh, yeah. Anthony Mantha.

Win it for the Konstantinov jersey with the '97 Cup patch I just got for Christmas! They need to take charge from the first drop of the puck. The Wings haven't commanded a game in much too long. I want to see the Big Red Machine tonight, boys, and I'm not talking about Calgary. (I think the jersey has upped the hostility level)

Intellectually I know this is a great streak and I should nod appreciatively and give a golf clap, but I can't work up any enthusiasm for this guy whatsover, not even if it means besting He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Datsyuk has to be wondering what in hell he has to do to get a freakin' goal. Can't believe he didn't get it in.
