Speaking of disgusting....the Packers defense (or lack there of tonight). I love that Lilja has a three game point streak though.

Started 3 for 3 and finished 3 for 6. What a waste.

What a swift kick to the balls especially given their slow start.

I just want one of you to lose so we can start the game over. Hopefully you both won't put up an "0"-fer.

That is one giant man-ring. Not really my style, but a good idea for a giveaway nonetheless.

Not defending his/her name, but they joined LGW during the 05/06 campaign which was the season of Ozzie versus Legace threads. It eventually started the "Ultimate Goalie War" thread. No one? Really....Honestly?

TBH, I'm surprised it wasn't worse. The way his skate/foot went into the boards and the way it must have "pulled" at the back of the ankle could've been a season ending injury. I'm not a doctor (even though I stayed at Holiday Inn Express last night), but that could've ripped part of his Achilles Tendon. Unfortunate for him and the Oilers.

That's just incredible. As for Yzerman....its amazing how much even better the tradition of Detroit is because of him.

Hossa has a NTC. Besides, Kenny wouldn't trade him anyway under the circumstances of his signing.

If its *only* between those three, the obvious choice in my mind is Franzen. It would truly hurt to lose him but Hossa is incredible. Z will never be let to walk, nor should he.

I would agree that he *should* be signed by then, but Kenny and Z could just as well have a gentlemen's agreement in place to see how their FA period shakes out. I absolutely believe Z will be with the Wings long-term, but that could delay things and for the better (or worse I suppose). FTR, I don't see Z signing any later than January. That would be a wonderful thing to see, but I doubt it translates to many (if any) other franchises out there. No other franchise in any professional American sport has what the Red Wings do in that regard. However it would be a great thing for sports in general going forward.

Confirmed

Agreed. #19 behind the Winged Wheel with the "C" over the chest is everything that's right with the Red Wings, Hockey and sports in general. While no player is (or ever will be) bigger than the team....Yzerman was larger than life.

Do you think ESPN kept his chair warm?

Yeah....one we probably couldn't afford in this cap era. That is incredible to think of though. Talk about a feared Blueline on multiple levels.

If he can stay healthy, it most certainly could happen. That being said, my own selfish reasons don't want him to hit it so his salary stays as much in check as possible. Perhaps Cleary and Filppula can pot 90 between the two of them instead since they're locked up.

I was gonna say, I'd be very willing to bet Conklin starts seeing as that its the tail end of a B2B that saw Oz start the first game.

Avery is that kid that never felt what it was like to be picked on because he was too busy making sure it was anyone other than him. What a ******. Hmmm, Brown or Avery....not too difficult of a decision for LA.

Seriously....how can the refs not get this?

Apparently the Red Wings are looking to kick sand in the faces of the Panthers. Who comes up with this stuff?

Atleast it'll be good to see how the team responds.
