Amazing game, just like game 5 against the Flames!! And Bert is getting better and better I think next game he breaks out

You're a natural!! Quick, get that resume into VS

I've wanted to see Drury in a Wings uniform for as long as I can remember, even when he was with the Avs. He was always clutch in the playoffs, especially in overtime, and still is. If I'm the Wings this offseason, I'd be willing to overpay him a bit to come here, seeing as how he's money in the playoffs and thats all that counts here in Hockeytown

In honor of Stevie, I think Joe should stop scoring

Its funny you started this topic because I've had this thought a few times now throughout the series. I don't think Thornton should be captain and to be completely honest, it appears he might enjoy not being captain. He doesn't have as many responsibilities and can just let his game do the talking. That being said, Marleau doesn't exactly stand out to me as a great captain. Obviously we don't know what he's like in the locker room and what his leadership skills are like, but remember -- we've been spoiled here in Detroit. Stevie was probably one of, if not the greatest team Captain ever and Lidstrom is not to shabby either. I'm not sure if Marleau should be captain, but looking at the players surrounding him, I really can't think of anyone else who it should go to. If anyone, I would suggest Cheechoo because of his style of play (not as aggressive as Thornton, yet very skilled) which would suit the team better. Its never a good idea for your captain to be your most physical guy - because if you dish it out, you're going to get it back and teams never want to see their captain getting run at. Just my thoughts though but I would like to hear some of the SJ fans and what they know about Patrick, seeing as I probably know nothing compared to them.

No kidding eeeek. For a second I thought I was going to hear he was blinded by that high stick but this is a big relief haha

It never dawned on me, the irony I mean haha. FYI, I was just reading the boards on a Calgary website...them people are twisted

I really hope someone gets a clip of this I'd love to see it

Ahh, seeing them lose just made my day

Amen to that horrible.

Get huds back in there right now we better win game 5 b/c we cant win in calgary. grrr.

Awesome job Matt!! I've been coming to this site for many years now, longer then it says that I've been signed up, and I must say this site just gets better all the time.

I'm not touching the bobbleheads

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I watched weak and weary, Over many hours, wondering why Robert Lang can't score, As my dad nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a smashing, As of some one smashing, smashing his goal stick more and more `'Tis the Kipper,' I muttered, `smashing his goal stick more and more - As Rober Lang hath finally scored.' ...so i don't know which is worse, the fact that I almost plagurized the entire thing, or the idea that Lang might actually score tonight

Grrrr still no Rex in there. I knew it wouldn't happen but seriously, he's earned playing time. If Sammy or Lazy don't pick it up before the end of tonights game then one of them should be out. Or hell, why not both and put Langfeld in? Kid showed some heart this year.

Not a bad period...not a great one either. Here's hoping the Wings come out flying from the drop of the puck in the 2nd

Well, welcome to LGW and thank you for your input. Now let me offer this as a rebuttal; DIE FLAMES DIE GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No kidding, thank God the Tigers are on from 7-10 to fill some of the void until game time

True that

Nah, its not a bad idea but the Wings have always found gems late in the draft. Plus in all honesty, we're pretty good with our youth, so I don't see the Wings being picky about draft picks. I highly doubt they're doing anything to curb the stats. Also, I believe Bert will likely be back next year, which also warrants a draft pick if you didn't know, and I don't think the Wings will hesitate in offering him something. Guys with his size and skill don't come around very often.

I like this idea a lot, although I'm keeping my fingers crossed that its not Rex who sits tonight. I know he probably will but if he doesn't then obviously you don't touch that line. You don't fix what isn't broken -- maybe Babcock will think that too.

Very true...the right of last change can be rough if, for example, the puck is in the Wings zone and Iggy's out there and no Lidstrom. However I guarantee the second the puck crosses that blueline and goes out, Lidstrom jumps right off that bench. So it isn't THAT big of a deal but it can change the game a bit.

Haha Anyone got any other good hockey jokes? Not about the game but maybe involving players names like that?

Hahaha thats not bad, although I'm not sure what pulling up his Forsberg means but I'm semi retarded so...

Hahahaha I'm not entirely sure if Lang becomes Luongo but you could definitely sell that. I'll ask my Italian grandmother later
