So? It was apparent that 'somewhere' wasn't going to be Detroit. This move will never come back to bite us in the ass, as we're already well aware that it wasn't in the cards for Leino here.

Every single time I see one of these threads, that's exactly what I think of doing. Now I'm too late.

What a great way to remember your 300th game.

It's not funny, but damn if it's not one of my favorite things to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqanH27U338 I will never get sick of this hit.

Yeah. I want to hate the guy, but I can't because he's just too awesome on and off the ice. Let's not forget, he's already slated to become a future Leaf.

I apologize if I'm just rehashing what has already been said but, I too read this as a compliment to Ozzie as well as Jimmy. In addition to the stats added to the thread about the Osgood/Hasek combination, it could also be a statement about our goaltending now in relation to where it is headed. When Hasek was here everyone knew it wouldn't be for long. Not only does the situation in net feel pretty solid at the moment but it could very well stay that way, so long as Howard keeps his wits about him and Ozzie turns into the playoff machine we've all known him to be (if need be).

I thought for sure that the Maple Leafs would be involved in the next Classic.

Dude in the Winter Classic jersey is stoked.

Hahahaha, two for two. What an awesome photo.

Hahaha, exactly.

Great news. I can honestly say that I was happy to see his addition in the off-season, but didn't think I'd be this happy about it.

Let's be honest, so long as the Rangers and Devils play each other a relatively fair amount - no one cares about the Isle. OP already mentioned that some teams get boned, but that's going to happen no matter how you break down the divisions.

That's the right mentality to have. You'll likely be disappointed if you think you're getting the exact - to the tee - jersey that you see on your TV. Having said that, DHGate is a good site to check out. A number of people on this site have used it (myself included) and haven't had any issues to my knowledge. DHGate operates in a similar fashion to eBay in that there are a number of sellers, but it's not an auction site. DHGate acts as a 3rd party and holds the money until you receive your item and allow them to release it to the seller. If you aren't satisfied then it's much easier to fix the issue than if it were just between you and a seller. Given that they don't get their money until you get your product, the sellers are generally more eager to get the item to you, too.

... You won't do it.

I'm sold. Honestly, though. I know realignment has been brought up a lot, but it wouldn't be bad to look into something like this. Not bad at all.

Here's hoping he scores on a breakaway!

But then the Wings only play the Whalers twice and I won't see enough Keith Primeau.

In honor of Shanahan's mid-air collision with Roy I will be sure to pounce on the first goalie I might see today.

They're definitely knock offs. There was a whole thread that lead, ultimately, to a debate about them. I have 2 now (Zetterberg white, Hossa red) and love them both. It's really just a matter of scouring and lucking out when it comes to knock offs. Some are really passable, and some look like trash - though others will argue that they're all trash. If you can't justify dropping $200 on a Reebok EDGE sweater then I recommend going with a knock off. An 'authentic' from NHL.com or Dunham's isn't going to be much better. The major issue when it comes to Wings jerseys is the NOB, which is usually screwed up by those who make knock offs. NHL.com produces the right lettering, but on a poorly attached name plate - which the Wings obviously don't use. I've even toyed with the idea of buying a blank knock off and having the lettering sewn on by a company like SportsK, I'd bet no one would be the wiser. Then again, though, you're spending upwards of $100 which - for a broke college student like myself - would get me murdered by my girlfriend. Speaking as someone who did a lot of searching for the best quality knock-off I could find, you'll want to be leery of the jersey-on-the-blank-mannequin photos like the Ovechkin jersey in question. Often these images end up floating all around the internet and may not actually look anything like the jersey that specific seller might have. It's best to contact the seller in any situation where a cheap jersey is involved and request actual pictures of the jersey they're selling. If they're honest, they generally don't have a problem with them. So to conclude my novel, if you have any other questions just pm me.

This. Got it for my Dad a few years back, great set.

To be fair, both Bauer and Reebok have logos. They just use their wordmarks more often. That's irrelevant, though. It's just very "stock" looking and a little over done with the whole stencil thing. edit: Having said all that, it has nothing to do with the skates themselves. Carry on.

I think a big reason for Mason winning last year was not only his stellar numbers, but the fact that a lot of people viewed his performance as what got Columbus into the post-season. By comparison, Jimmy won't be given that sort of credit if the Wings are playing in late April.
