Of course. I started a thread on their forum entitled "Stop Blaming the Refs" and it was immediately deleted. I was being pretty nice too, I told them there was no conspiracy against them. I said the Ducks are losing because our guys are showing up and theirs aren't. I said the Wings needed a big game to show that Hiller is mortal. That happened in Game 4, and he hasn't returned to top form since. OTOH, Osgood has shown up every game. Big surprise that the f***s don't want to hear the truth. Just keep blaming the refs...it's because Bettman wants the Wings to win.!

Never!

Agreed. The "intent to blow" is subjective. A whistle is not. Puck was in net before the whistle, therefore it was a goal. Review it, sure, but it would still have been a goal.

Yep, and with Raffy out tonight is their best chance to win one in Detroit. However, I'm going to be at the game with a bunch of friends so I sure hope the Wings win. I think this series is going to be great!

Where's that new poster that started the thread about getting rid of Hossa because he doesn't have chemistry with the team? :battle:

Guys he could have a sprained ankle for all we know. Cleary played with a broken hand in the playoffs last season and the games he was out they said his injury was something entirely else. You don't want people targeting his injury when he does come back.

Anyone know the Wings lineup for tomorrow?

I would definitely take Draper over Maltby and Kopecky, are those the options? Keep Helm in, the guy was throwing amazing hits in round 1.

I take it VS has rights and that's why FSN isn't broadcasting anything? Otherwise, why the hell are the airing the Tigers over the Wings? Also, does this mean we don't get to hear Mickey?

On the Ducks' board they are talking about how the Wings will shoot high on Hiller because that is his weakness. I just thought that was interesting. Most of them think they are going to get beat by the Wings over there.

LOL, good on ya ladies, 2 wins to nothing! Bead users, hehe think I have some at home.

Several people have said that Avery did his job, I would disagree. His goal is to agitate, but not to take 4 penalties per game. That's not doing his job, that's just dumb.

Just got back from Ireland. I was not that impressed with any of the local beers except the Killkenny's ale. The Bulmer's cider was good as well. BTW, for $300 you could buy a used refrigerator and parts from kegworks.net or Ebay to make a real kegerator where you could put in any Sanke-based keg, which most of them are. I actually have some extra parts if anyone is looking to make their own kegerator.

Well, I guess he actually did have his mind in the game, eh? I think it's hilarious that people assume because he does something ridiculous like that it means he isn't serious about winning. He's tied for the lead on the team in +/- and points, and I think he'd have a couple of goals right now if NY's goalie wasn't playing so well. What else do you expect him to do?

Yeah, if ur using Crosby and saying that he's marketable, IMO Ovie is more marketable.

If I were the Caps I'd be hoping he doesn't get suspended. 0 points, -1 +/- and 20 PIM in the playoffs. He's a total liability to his team. Moron.

Not only would I root for her, but I would dream about having sex with her on a nightly basis. I've played on several teams where we had girls. The first one we had a girl goalie, she isn't that great, but I certainly didn't have a problem with her playing and we didn't ease up on the shots because she was a girl either. A couple seasons ago I had 2 young girls on the team. They were both very fast, good with the puck, good passers. Better players than me except for one thing: They were quite easy to knock off the puck. When I played against them, I only needed to use one arm to knock them off the puck because they just didn't have the upper body strength to match even the smaller guys. I will admit on went easy on them when getting physical with them, but that is mainly because I knew they were weak. If they had been beastly Amazon women I would have played them just as hard as anyone else. If women have the talent, of course they should play.

I kind of like that announcer. At least he tells it like it is, in his homeristic way.

No, the guy above you should be Avery since he likes to run his mouth (err, keyboard) so much, hehe.

I don't understand why Kopecky would get to go over Leino. I understand that Kopecky played a lot on PK, but his +/- is atrocious and his PPG is .27 whereas Leino's is .69 and Leino's +/- is 5.

I don't think that will continue in the playoffs. That's why I said what I did. Last playoff run he made me want to punch the tv too many times.

I want a line brawl between the two teams, with Cheechoo taking one up the tailpipe.

Ericsson > Lilja

Put on some more weight and you could be Samuellson.

Datsyuk is better. That is all.
