  1. The NHL would need to be a helluva lot more savvy to be that successful.
  2. This seems cut and dried. It was ruled a good goal on the ice and everything worked out as it should have according to the rules. Of course key questions remain: 1. How does a ref with his unobstructed nose 4 feet from the play get overruled by 2 guys who are ... where again? This reminds me of the grassy knoll.

    Why is nobody mad at May?

    lol... Well, I'm not exactly a Leino fan either, but I do think he is a better player on both ends of the ice. Minus any sense of toughness of course.

    Why is nobody mad at May?

    Lets not get carried away. May really does do very little albeit slightly more than Downey did. He's not a liability, but he's pretty damn close as far as skating and playing hockey goes. That's not to say he shouldn't dress for some games. However, I agree if he isn't enforcing at every opportunity, then he shouldn't be playing.

    Does anyone ever expect Bert to go again? I don't.

    Eaves vs. Versteeg

    The one nice thing about these injuries is the chance to see Eaves, Miller and Helm get more ice. While these guys are not scorers its clear that they bring what is expected of them and in some cases more. It will be interesting to see what Babcock does with the line-up once we get some forwards back. For instance, who sits when Williams comes back? And no fair saying Leino, since he's already splitting time with May.

    pavel datsyuk completely bombing this season

    Its not just Z and D - its the perfect storm of offensive crappiness from our 13 million duo on the back end.

    1/16 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Dallas Stars 3 (SO)

    My theory is that Illitch made 0 friends with the league during the strike. The league perceives Illitch and the Wings as arrogant and self-serving and is trying to make them pay.

    1/14 GDT: Hurricanes 1 at Red Wings 3

    O Christ - move on already. The number of 1990's slappies on this forum kill me.
  11. I'll kick in a buck to the "pay Burrows fine" fund if it sends a message from the fans to this f***ed up league.

    Both optimism and pessimism in extreme forms are delusional and avoid reality. Pick your poison - you're either a negative cynic or some form of a disney smiley face.

    If Howard becomes the "guy".....

    If Howard is still around 3rd in the league in GAA and 3rd in the league in SVPCT and Osgood is around 27th and 34th , then Howard will start. The job is and will be Howard's to lose. BTW, Hot young goaltenders have had some good runs in recent years: For example, Ward, Theodore, Giguire come to mind.

    Something Fishy in Pittsburgh

    The Las Vegas Strip Poker League (LVSPL) has more integrity than Bettman's abomination. Long live the NHL.

    Your Favorite Babcock Moment

    Every moment when Babcock sits Osgood in lieu of Howard.

    The Chris Osgood discussion thread

    I don't see why everyone thinks Osgood is a lock for the playoffs.

    Osgood on his way out of detroit?

    Obviously no trade, but my guess is this is the last year we'll see Osgood in a wings sweater. I don't think Babs like him, plus its probably time to move on.

    Right on Brother.

    Pretty soon - Who are the THREE odd men out?

    Seriously, if Lilja isn't coming back, then waive Lebda or Meech and keep Janik. We need guys that know how to play D and have some grit.
