Save the best for last.

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUC! Love that guy.

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/33700259/ns/sports/ This looks embarrassing for them. I'd blame it on Burke, but the Raptors appear to be guilty of jumping the line for the H1N1 vaccine as well.

I'll gladly admit that we benefited from a slow whistle with Z's goal (and I was honestly surprised we didn't get hit with that "intent to blow" garbage), but for every ten times I've seen a play like that happen in a Wings game, nine of those ten times we seem to get screwed by it and not the other team.

I'm not even a big Bert fan and even I can see that he's been hustling his ass off out there.

Yeah, like that time that we scored a goal after the puck hit the protective netting. Or when we iced six skaters and a goaltender without penalty. Or when we instigated a fight in the dying minutes of a Cup Final game and got away scot-free. Oh wait, my mistake...all those things happened AGAINST us. Silly me.

You have no idea how happy I am about this. Well, some of you might.

At first, I thought the apostrophe was an 'i'. I was misled. Then again, it IS Pittsburgh...

Not worth it. Plus I believe Forsberg when he said that he wouldn't sign with Detroit out of respect for the old rivalry.

Friday: NY Islanders @ New Jersey Toronto @ Carolina Philadelphia @ Buffalo Washington @ Florida Vancouver @ Dallas Chicago @ Colorado Saturday: Nashville @ Los Angeles Buffalo @ Boston Detroit @ Toronto Tampa Bay @ Montreal New Jersey @ Ottawa Atlanta @ NY Islanders St Louis @ Philadelphia Florida @ Washington Carolina @ Columbus Dallas @ Minnesota NY Rangers @ Calgary Phoenix @ Anaheim Pittsburgh @ San Jose Sunday: St Louis @ Atlanta Edmonton @ Colorado

Sure, that's why superstars like Lidstrom and Datsyuk got a free pass after that whole All Star Weekend deal. Oh, wait a second...

Prime example: not shaking hands after Game 7. That's lousy sportsmanship and lousy leadership. If I saw Yzerman, Lidstrom or Sakic (or even Iginla) pull some garbage like that, I'd say the same damn thing. Crosby's not even in the same league as those guys when it comes to the aforementioned qualities, not even close. That utter lack of class (and don't blame it on "excitement" - EVERYONE'S excited when they win the Cup) just reinforces the spoiled brat stereotype and he's earned it well.

Wow, I didn't realize how often Stevens led with his elbows. Definitely a different league today, as most of those monster hits would easily be suspendable offenses now.

That one just gives me epic ****** chills.

Dandenault.

Oddly enough, it WAS his decision. He turned down the captaincy of the Caps because his fluency in English wasn't good enough to communicate effectively as a team captain.

Woo hoo! I think that was my best weekend thus far. And I actually picked the Wings to win this time too.

VERY happy with Ozzie tonight. Team could have been better, but I won't argue with a W. Helmer gets the PoG vote. Nice.

Yankees are still winning though...

Malts negates the McCrimmon Effectâ„¢!

Oh great, Babcock is talking to McCrimmon. We're screwed.

At this point, I'm just happy with a win. Even the friggin' Isles are on a winning streak right now.

Uh oh, that's not good. We're still dropping like flies.

Shhh, you'll give Bettman an idea for another penalty.

Amen to great, humble, ego-free leadership.
