Toronto at the Big House was my vote a long time ago, but it's not really feasible. They call it the Big House for a reason - it's huge. People more than halfway up would be better off watching it at home. It's hard to watch a football game up high, can't imagine trying to follow a puck. I'm going no matter where it is - started my WC fund already.

Watch it again - Gilbert came down on his left leg, not exactly sure where from the angle, but it sure looked painful. I suspect he hyper-extended his knee. That's some nasty karma at work.

FSD showing behind the scenes in the Situation Room. Pretty cool.

I don't have a problem with that. Dallas was too busy keeping the Wings from scoring to try to score themselves. Burned up time. Works for me.

Son of a *****! We usually don't run into hot goalies until the playoffs. Dear hockey gods, Thank you so much for making me born in Detroit so I can watch FSD and not Versus. Sincerely, me *edit* Written before the second goal.

A decent price is relative, so it's kind of hard to help you on that one. I'd check eBay first then NHL.com to see if there are any deals.

St. Nick is on his game tonight as well. Beautiful defense!

Oh, my imagination ran rampant on the title of this thread alone. Vancouver is chippy, cranky, not afraid to throw the body around, especially if it comes to drawing a penalty. (See what I did there?) I just watched the Nucks/Kings game the other night. Seemed to me they threw more crosschecks and pushed a lot rather than playing what most would consider a good physical game. Kings gave as good if not better than they got and kicked their ass on the scoreboard as well. I'd be more concerned facing the Kings in the playoffs based on what I've seen.

I love Mickey. Penalty called 15 seconds in; Mickey's comment? "Holy jumpin' jahoesephat - no curfew tonight!"

Already a thread on this.

That's not fair, he was bowled over by his own player and had no chance at that puck. Not that I'm upset about that, mind you, but he really didn't have a chance.

Ha ha ha. Tortorella saying no one is really dominating this game. What game is he watching? Because the game I'm watching, it's pretty much all Philly all the time. Or maybe he should look up the definition of dominate.

Philly is really taking it to NY defense-wise. Spending lots of time in the Rags zone as well.

Amen. I was wishing it was broadcast on radio so I could mute. Great start to the game thus far. A little chippy a couple of times - it's going to get ugly later in the game.

I wasn't going to watch this game; Philly is dead to me until they get rid of Pronger and I just can't work myself up to feel anything for NY, but I'm getting sucked in with all the pre-game. GO RAGS!!

Awesomeness! You rock, Matt. I really, really appreciate these wallpapers. Glad your hangover didn't delay delivery.

Harold is correct - difference between the two hits is Cole hit the head and the head only; Pavel hit Jackman from the chest through to the head. During the game I thought Datsyuk should have received a penalty, but having re-watched the video over and over again, it was a clean hit. I don't see how the refs made that determination during the game, though. It looked like it was a hit to the head from the original televised angle. 3 games is 1 too many for Cole.

#3 - Hudler #2 - Abby #1 - HOWIE

Weak "fight," but it's nice to see someone on the Wings sticking up for themselves. Datsuyk held, interfered with, no call. Wonder if Cole will give his wallet back after that mugging?

Dear Cole, f*** you. Sincerely, Abby

HOT EFFING DAMN!!!

There just aren't words to describe how grateful I am for Jimmah.

Nice penalty call on Lidstrom (seriously?) on an offsides that wasn't called.

Nice 1-on-4 there, Wings. Can we maybe start cycling the puck a little and have more than one man in the offensive zone, please?

Abby's back.
