Great, missed week one and last night to boot. Saturday NJ Devils Boston Pittsburgh Ottawa Detroit Philadelphia Carolina Buffalo St. Louis Chicago Phoenix Edmonton San Jose Sunday NY Rangers Dallas

He didn't look half bad playing alongside Hank for that shift back in the 2nd.

Leino!!!!

Did anyone else notice a new organ during last night's game? I didn't like it at all, and actually found it to be pretty annoying. Anyone else notice that?

This is also the same club that retired Ray Bourque's 77 despite him playing all of 1 1/2 seasons with them.

I misread the sentence to say that it was the Caps coach saying it, but there was the word mens where I got it on MLive. Someone is lying.....

I guess last game was a fluke then? And seeing how he's signed through next season, that might be difficult.

Bruce Boudreau on Dats - "He's won the Lady Byng a lot. So probably mens ladies love him."

I'd be more comfortable seeing Biron behind Osgood rather than Howie.

Definatley, Drapes has been playing well thusfar and curious to see what Eaves is gonna do. Here's hoping the ZDH line will work it's magic of old.

Lines updated

Then good - I was thinking that it had something to do with playing Chicago and their history with the organ.

So it's going to be a regular thing then?

Great game to be at last night, atmosphere was very good. I sat next to some people from Los Angeles who regularly attend King game and they said they loved the atmosphere here and the knowledge Detroit fans have of the game, as opposed to Kings fans would couldn't name more than 2 players on the team and mostly show up just to riducule the opposition.

Penguins and Hawks.

Good signing.

In other news, Dan Cleary was placed on probation by the NHL.

New pads looking sharp

I hope I'm not the only one who is hoping Heatley isn't traded, simply so that he'll have to suck it up and play for the Senators.

If by some miracle Cloutier shines at training camp, what does that mean for Howard?

Hopefully this year, he'll come in with a "I've got something to prove" attitude and suprise alot of people, and maybe, just MAYBE, won't be the LGW whipping boy.

No prediction, but I'm certainly hoping that I'll get a free roast beef at Arby's at some point this year
