Sopcast online should work for you. If you have NHL CenterIce that will still work for the first two rounds for the games that aren't on NBC or Versus.

I remember that. If the Wings win the first round, I don't care who they play in the upcoming rounds, you'll be picking their opponents. Ed, sometimes you gotta take one for the team.

^ Up is now Down, Black is now White! Again, this isn't anywhere near what the majority is saying.

Yeah, read my response: Post #3.

D*mn, I forgot good ol' Foreskin. Another Kindergarten classic! Are you saying that you would have rather had him not play a single game before the playoffs? I don't think that would have been the best idea. He wouldn't be even close to the intensity-level or speed of the playoffs. Windsor Star? Canadian news source.

While I don't agree with any coach singling out a player for any loss, you have to admit Babs had every right to atleast think that after that play. Loo, I know you love Dom, but once the incident took place, and Babs said what he did to the public, Dom didn't refute it at all. He had his meeting with Babs and it was over with. Dom never threw a hissy-fit to the media, he just played, and as a result (like a true champion), he put it behind him and was even more dominant the rest of the regular season. That's the type of mental edge I want from my goalie right before the playoffs.

You know what I love about a good majority of hockey fans of all teams? Its when they change a players name or team name to something negative. HsSUCK, BertuSHE, OsBAD, Detroit Dead Things. It reminds me of when I was in kindergarten. I think its the lamest sh*t in the world when the fan of any team does this.

Thanks for the info. Sidenote: While I appreciate it, I suppose its like taking a prediction from Maggie? I hope JR's right.

Source? Where's his game prediction?

Lidstrom, and by a greater margin once Z got hurt.

If you can find me 1 that has the Wings picked to win in 5 or less I'll be shocked. Calgary is getting the nod from most "experts".

Here's hoping you put up a goose-egg in the DET/CAL series!

Oh Maggie, you're so dumb. :nonono: Let the puck drop, my chest is pounding in anticipation.

NFM#25's Picks DET 4-2 over CAL ANA 4-3 over MIN VAN 4-3 over DAL SJ 4-2 over NSH BUF 4-1 over NYI NJ 4-1 over TB ATL 4-3 over NYR OTT 4-2 over PIT WARNING: You only need to pick for the first round. You will be repicking after each round with the correct teams that made it through

I hear what you saying, but Babs isn't going to give either of those two a "rest" unless they sh*t the bed in the playoffs. If Babs had tried it out a little more before the regular season ended, I could possibly see it in a dire situation, but the only time I expect to see Sammy on D is on the PP.

Babs already said he going to atleast start the series with Malts-Drapes-Cleary on the same line. If Bert does play, Sammy would either drop to the Flip-Franzen line or he'd be a healthy scratch. With Sammy "taking" Bert's spot in practice, I'm hoping he's the odd man out if Bert returns for game 1, since Hudler-Flip-Franzen have been practicing together this week.

True, but that was with increased ice-time. With Z back, you know his line will get a good amount of the PT even though Babs will try and run 4 lines. That being said, What about flipping Bert with Calder so Hudler has some more room out there? Hudler and Lang have great chemistry.

Famous Brett Hull Quotes of the month: "There's no way Datsyuk will end up with Detroit next season." "Detroit has no chance in this series." Thus far, he's 0/1.

Where do I start with this post? First and foremost, Sammy scored 5 points in a meaningless game against a horrid goaltender having a horrid day. Sorry to say but its the truth. Next, of course Lilja has never scored 5 points in a game, but he's a defensemen. Sammy plays offense. That would be like me asking you if Sammy has as many blocked PK shots as Lilja does. Finally, the only reason Sammy has played D is to replace Williams on the PP. It's not like Sammy is out there on a line with Lids when the game starts. I just don't agree with you one bit on this.

No one in their right mind would've thought to say something like this 2 months ago. Funny how things can change.

That thought crossed my mind as well. I hope its true. Those are good looking lines if you ask me.

You're right.....how dare an inferior hockey fan from Wisconsin ask a question of someone who's likely claiming to be from Detroit? I should know you're a credible source, with your whole 9 posts. Sidenote: And I'm the only one who asked you for a source.........correct? Read the forum guidelines:
