    Awesome stuff

    Watching the Oilers vs Sharks game tonight? (12/6)

    Ya, after watching the first twelve minutes of the second here it's pretty clear that if it wasn't for Roloson it would be a blowout right now.

    Leino?

    I just hope that the injury doesn't leave any lingering long-term effects because he was amazing in training camp.

    Just got off the ice of my own game, have the Sharks been dominating tonight?

    When will professional atheletes begin to feel the economic pinch....

    Well, since Business Economics was my major in University I am very interested in these topics. I am a firm believer in theories such as those put out by Keynes and Smith that talk about the laws of supply & demand and the tail of the dragon. The market historically always corrects itself and under the salary cap system if revenues go down then salaries will soon follow.

    I feel like I cheated on the Red Wings

    Is this allowed on the forums?

    Support Chris Osgood (and the Detroit Red Wings)

    Hasek shouldn't even pop up in this thread, he is retired and can't solve any current/future goaltending issues. I would love to see a guy like Ryan Miller in Detroit, I just don't know what that would mean giving up.

    Support Chris Osgood (and the Detroit Red Wings)

    Wow, so many hypocritical views and runaround logic in this thread on both sides (gotta love goalie threads). Why are we bringing up the past with Osgood? We should only be looking at his play THIS season, which has been dismal. The OP in this thread kinda reminds me of the Britney Spears speech when she said we should support the US President in everything he does....... Come on? For real?

    Avery comments & suspension

    Thanks, By the way, I whole-heartedly agree with egroen and GS&T and their posts. I thought they articulated their stance very well.

    If anyone missed the pens/Rangers game

    Wow a lot of Crosby hate it's amazing.

    Filpula and Cleary's point totals

    I was expecting to see a little more out of Flip this year, but at the same time I thought he would be getting more offensive opportunities regarding ice time.

    Avery comments & suspension

    So is the 6 game suspension inclusive of the first two games that he missed?

    Avery comments & suspension

    Whatever, I disagree on the gender neutral thing, but I'm not going to get into an arguement about that. 6 Games is WAY too much. This league is a joke with its suspensions and how they magically determine a number.

    Avery comments & suspension

    Actually, sloppy seconds is gender neutral, A girl could say the exact same thing about a guy. I do not find the term misogynistic at all. I guess it's all in how you received the statement, but to me he was just trying to bring attention to himself and the game. Even if it is offensive, does it really deserve a suspension? I mean come on, way worse has been said than this over the history of the NHL.

    Avery comments & suspension

    The NHL is a joke, how the f*** can this be a suspension? I think it is atrocious that he got suspended for what he said and I don't even like the guy..... but as soon as I saw this thread I looked for the game on TV IMMEDIATELY! By the way, the term sloppy seconds is not demeaning if you understand the term. I guess it's all context.

    Worst regular season games

    Last year in February....... My first live Red Wings game against Calgary. No Hasek, Lidstrom, Kronwall, Rafalski, Cleary Our Starting lineup that night: Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom Hudler - Filppula - Samuelsson Draper - Maltby - Franzen Kopecky - Downey - Drake Lilja - Lebda Meech - Chelios Quincey - Ericsson Osgood Howard The result was Kipper's first SO of the year and I believe it was the first time in like 200+ games that Detroit got shutout. A 1-0 game that was in the middle of Detroit's BIG slump last year when we had injury problems where we lost in a game with one goal that was a fluke from behind the net. Such a boring game!!

    10/17 GDT: Red Wings 4, Oilers 0

    Great pace to the second so far, Lebda did make a great pass to Sammy there. WTF?????

    It's crazy that the Oilers have only played like 2 home games this late in the year. Sammy!!!

    Anyone think we can hit 300 goals this year? I had some predictions before the start of the season: 1. Hossa - 45 goals 2. Franzen - 40 goals 3. Datsyuk & Zetterberg - 100 points 4. 300 GF 5. < 200 GA 6. Lidstrom, Rafalski, Zetterberg, Datsyuk all +40 7. President's Trophy 8. Osgood - Jennings 9. Zetterberg - Selke 10. Datsyuk - Lady Bing 11. Lidstrom - Norris 12th Stanlen Cup Now that we are a quarter of the way through the year...... what do you guys think of these? Number 5, 6 and 8 are looking very difficult right now.
