He was saying that Filppula is not better than Hossa because he is not. You were getting ahead of yourself by making that statement. That is all.

Some of the greatest teams in sports have the greatest actors. Its part of sports around the world. The current Spurs, the past Avalanche, Manchester United, etc. If it gets the call then why not do it? Its all about what the referees see. That's why hockey has a diving penalty. If its a dive then it should be called accordingly. A penalty is a penalty. A win is a win. A championship is a championship. Lets not discredit the Wings greatness because of this subject.

Negative. 19 > 9

F=MA The faster they skate, the harder they fall. Its simple physics really... Go Kronwall!

Any sections to avoid at the Joe or is pretty much every seat decent?

Ugh, I was hoping to go to my first Red Wings games at the Joe but couldn't get any tickets in time. Now I'll be subjected to scalpers outrageous pricing if I want to go..

Sarcasm I'm hoping... Hossa: 7 Goals and 3 assists in the playoffs so far...

This series alone has caused me to lose all respect for Marty Turco. Not only is he a hypocrite by calling Ozzie gutless, but he is also ignorant. His comments tonight after the game put me over the top. On the Holmstrom interference call: "I deserve every chance to make a save on the shot and I couldn't move freely to make that save on the shot so I really don't think it was a bad call. I don't think its black and white." Well you know what Turco? It was F*%(ING black and white. No one in their right mind can justify that call. Seriously. Even Dallas fans should acknowledge that the call was a terrible one. Before this series I actually liked Turco and thought he was a good goalie. Now I just think he is an idiot and can't wait for him to be eliminated. I literally hate Turco now. I hope the Wings light him up at the Joe on Saturday. He deserves no respect. GO WINGS! (That's my rant for the night...)

Um maybe something to the effect of "We got a break on that one..." or other humble comment. Honestly he is an idiot. He knows he was not interfered with on that play, yet he sits there and says he was.

The one game I have to miss happens to be the one after an altercation at the end of the previous game... Great. I better not miss Mac destroying Ribs. This will be an exciting game to watch and I'm going to try and fly through my Final exam in order to get home and watch some of the game! 4-2 Wings

Yeah the more I think about it the more I don't believe he has a clot. If he happens to have a concussion would he be out for the rest of the playoffs?

ok if they are now worried about a blood clot and it possibly in or near the brain... wouldn't he be rushed to intensive care to have it checked out? And if that had happened I'm sure we would have heard something about it... They seem to be pretty relaxed about it if they are waiting until Monday to have him checked out. Just my thoughts. I'm hoping it is just a pinched nerve or something minor.

Tippett was asked if he expected the NHL to suspend Osgood. "That's for the higher powers to figure out," Tippett said. Is there absolutely any chance that something happens to Ozzie!? Please say no.

"20:00 Mike Ribeiro: 10-Minute Match Penalty for Deliberate Injury Chris Osgood" per ESPN boxscore. Sooo how does that work?

1.) Ozzie gave him a little shot as he was crashing the boards 2.) To me it looked like Ribeiro hit Ozzie in the shoulder and Ozzie sold it very well. I'm not giving Ribeiro a free pass and do not condone his actions because swinging the stick like that is never called for and cannot be justified, but I believe he will get MAYBE 1 game otherwise just a big fine if anything.

Yeah, but none as good as the Versus stream which I have watched every other game on...

Here's my quick and dirty attempt with Paint...

After a 9 AM final exam on a Saturday all I ask for my birthday today is a Red Wings win! Lets Go Wings!

It's not a very recent commercial as I've seen it before the playoffs started. Those other players just happen to be the best player on their respective but less superior teams and have therefore been knocked out of the playoffs. I looooooooove the Z commercial, it gives me chills.

Z's Versus commercial gives me chills...

DET/DAL: 4-1 PIT/PHI: 4-2

Unbelievable! I'll have to miss 3 out of the first 6 game... I'm so angry right now.

I like horses.

Not that bad actually...
