Matt, You do such great work... Great quality work. unreal.

WOW the game hasnt started yet and this thread is 6 pages long....... Have we been waiting for playoff hockey? HA HA HA

that was the BEST!!! Good stuff

Room for 2 in the noose?

you all have it wrong anyway.... We will win the cup because we should of won it last year and we gave it to PIT...SO Buttman is gonna give it back to us this year...

Anyone going to the Game tonight? My son and I are going. I've never been to a NCAA Ice Hockey game.

thought about it....seriously did... But the Days Of Thunder - Victory Lane seemed like the right soundtrack

Good Morning LGW.... I decided to kick the rust off my editing software and get ready for the playoff video series This is like a good luck of sorts... enjoy.

My Avatar.... Octo Leg around the cup..... with the years on the cup....

Should be a great game saturday.... Can't wait to go. Got tickets for the Championship game Ill get to see Smith in person.

Last home game of the regular season..... I have to do this for the final time this season.

I too got chills from that clip.. And I personally think it's because of the commentator Gary Thorne. I used to love his goal calls...

Wow Imagine that ...A hockey player that plays with pain.... Like the old days. About time!

Niether... The Flyers are bouncing us around like a bunch of nothings and getting the chances...and making good on them

Blown coverage......Come on boys!!

1st goal he should of had the second Even Howard would of given up a 4 on 2? that was not Ozzies fault His job is to take the shooter and he did that pass went across BOTH our d-men and thats what happends.... He got his 1st full period in since Jan. Now hes got the rust knocked off and ready for the second period. Love how we did not give up in the game and battles back and really love how Franzen landed on Hartnell's face with his stick... Go WINGS!!!! GO OZZIE GO RED AND WHITE!!!!

IF Howard faulters and falls on his face in the playoffs....( I did Say IF) then Ozzie needs to have gotten in a game or 2 before the reg season ends.. good Idea for Babcock.... Osgood knows we need the points...It will be good for him to get in.

Ya know it's games like this that make me wonder, With all the other teams playing like this ..our chances in the post season are pretty decent.

good one ..

is that a make up for the blunder inthe shoot out?

Fresh from the CBA page 104. Once a Player is placed on the Injured Reserve List, the Club may replace said Player on its NHL Active Roster with another Player, and during such period of his designation as an Injured Reserve Player he will not count against the Club's Active Roster limit, provided, however, that the Injured Reserve Player's Player Salary and Bonuses and his replacement's Player Salary and Bonuses are each included in calculating a Club's Actual Club Salary and Averaged Club Salary, and the Players' Share, for purposes of Article 50. I am trying to find the Salary portion now.... I found it once... But can't remember... Here All Player Salary and Bonuses paid to Players on an NHL Active Roster, Injured Reserve or Non Roster that are Unfit to Play –being either injured or suffering from an illness –shall be counted against a Club's Upper Limit, Actual Club Salary and Averaged Club Salary, as well as against the Players' Share. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Club shall be permitted to exceed the Upper Limit (but Leaguewide Player Compensation shall never be permitted to exceed the Players' Share) by virtue of the Bona-Fide Long-Term Injury/Illness Exception set forth in subsection (d) below. Sub Section D Bona-Fide Long-TermInjury/Illness Exception to the Upper Limit. In the event that a Player on a Club becomes unfit to play (i.e., is injured, ill or disabled and unable to perform his duties as a hockey Player) such that the Club's physician believes, in his or her opinion, that the Player, owing to either an injury or an illness, will be unfit to play for at least (i) twenty-four (24) calendar days and (ii) ten (10) NHL Regular Season games, and such Club desires to replace such Player, the Club may add an additional Player or Players to its Active Roster, and the replacement Player Salary and Bonuses of such additional Player(s) may increase the Club's Averaged Club Salary to an amount up to and exceeding the Upper Limit, solely as, and to the extent and for the duration, set forth below. If, however, the League wishes to challenge the determination of a Club physician that a Player is unfit to play for purposes of the Bona-Fide Long- Term Injury/Illness Exception, the League and the NHLPA shall promptly confer and jointly select a neutral physician, who shall review the Club physician's determination regarding the Player's fitness to play.

I thought it did not give them relief at all... they are just allowed by the league to exceed the cap by the player who is on LTIR Like when Franzen went down.... The Wings did not really get any Cap room...they were allowed by the league to exceed it by his salary cap hit. Am I wrong? Do the sites like Cap Geek take into consideration the injuries and what is on the books and what is allowable by LTIR?

Can you imagine if he were ever traded or signed with ANA? Would he EVER live that down?

As Soon as (or if they do) lock up a playoff spot and they can't go up or down.... He starts, NOT till Howard s***s the bed from there on out tho!

He will have a few guys telling him that he won't have it much better anywhere else....(they will be right) and he will stay ..If he plays Hockey well enough to keep interest. 2 toughest jobs in Detroit.... QB for the Lions and Goalie for the Wings! Go Jimmy GO!!!
