Wow did not realize Oshie broke his ankle tonight trying to jump Sami Pahlsson. Big loss for the Blues.

Anaheim with their first shot on goal, 1:45 left in the first. Weak shorthanded attempt by Koivu.

And the Ducks just wore those hideous jerseys for warmups. Not sure if anyone said that or not.

The second feed on atdhe is decent.

No they never actually admitted it was a cheap shot. Savard should have had his head up and plus it was right after he shot the puck. It wasn't cheap!!!!

Saw the Ducks hideous jersey. I love the gesture but even my buddy in the military thinks the jerseys are hideous. Anyone see the Thornton hit on Malkin? Several Pens homers were saying it was as bad as Cooke's cheap shot on Savard, which I find hard to believe if Malkin played after taking the hit.

I actually like this idea. The sticks in a pile selection would be even cooler. I also like how the players vote for the captains. Honestly, it has me a little more interested, and I know several other non-hockey fans who are interested in the idea. I honestly don't know if they would be the selected captains. From what I understand, it's the players that get to choose the captains.

Anyone else remember when he had his amateur tryout? I had no idea what the hell that was until Kader had his. I still remember he almost scored a goal his first game during said tryout. I watching him play right off the bat. I'm weighing the possibility of #8 being my next jersey purchase. Definitely hope to see him wearing the Winged wheel for a long time.

WTF NO JANIK?!? ARE YOU CRAZY?

Murph and Bobby Holik were addressing this on NHL on the Fly last night. Holik was pissed because he felt like Perron embellished, which I agree with him on. Perron made it look like the hit was really serious, yet he was out there later scoring a goal. Then after the game, he was vague in his answers but basically admitted he wasn't really that hurt but he wouldn't know til 24 hours had passed. There is going to be a big adjustment period but I'm hoping to see diving penalties called way more often. However, both Murph and Holik agreed that the 5 minute penalty should have been assessed but not a game misconduct.

Best of luck to your brother. My dad and grandma are both cancer survivors and your brother will be too. I wish more good acts like this made it onto ESPN and other main stream media outlets. Instead, I get to see a highlight on sportscenter of John Wall teaching people how to dougie as his entrance to a game. I guess acts of kindness and people with class aren't as appealing as a 20 year old dancing.

I can't remember who it was that said "what's a 300 lb. lineman going to do? Push me, that's it". No, he would kick your ass. Lineman (offensive and defensive) have the highest rate of concussions because the majority of the time, they are open fist punching each other in the head. I'd love to see whoever said that take a shot from Jake Long. He'd knock you into next week. Now whether or not hockey hits are harder than football, who knows. There are huge hits in both, and I wouldn't want to get hit by either.

Yes. To the OP's question, not the question above.

But, but.... Crosby sucks! Right?

We're gonna miss the playoffs.

I feel like a couple of links to these types of articles have popped up on LGW the past week. The haters are coming out in full force now that they realize this team is going to continue to contend for a cup.

Heard that on the radio today too. Haven't all home games for as long as I can remember started at 7:30 and that the 7:00 switch was something new for this season (that obviously was then changed back for some reason)?

Well duh.

I'd hate this if I was a Devils fan, but because it's them and they made me bawl my 9 year old eyes out in 1995, it's funny. Really though, I thought if he was going to punish them it would have been soon after the arbitrator's ruling and not after they approved a revised contract. Bettman did have to set a precedent though. 3 million and 2 draft picks will make GMs think before submitting a contract for league approval.

I was in the armpit of Ohio, Steubenville, that weekend (you could argue Ohio is just one big armpit but whatever). For those who don't know, that's about 30-45 minutes from Pittsburgh and everyone there is Pittsburgh sports fans. We went to the bar in the hotel we were staying at and immediately my wife and I had all sorts of things thrown at us. Tomatoes, fries, bottle caps, etc. After complaining to the staff at the bar, nothing happened. When I explained I didn't want to be within 500 miles of that god forsaken city and I was only there for a wedding, they still didn't give a s***. I watched the first period but I had to go back to my room to watch the rest of it. I turned the TV off right when Mr. Poop-pucks made the save on Lids. After the game, my sister-in-law's mother sent a case of Iron City beer to my room and the message said "we thought you could drown your sorrows with this". That was pretty funny; the rest of the story not so much. Edit: I was just as pissed in 1995, except for I was only 9 years old and bawled my eyes out. I remember yelling at my dad that would never get to see the Wings win a Cup.

Does anyone know when the AHL will be releasing the schedule for the upcoming season? Since Charlotte has now moved to the AHL I'm hoping the Griffs will play there so I can catch the game.

puckloo, switch to direct TV or dish (personally I would go with Dish). Both offer center ice and last time I checked both are offering free HD for life. Dish has some better packages and is a little cheaper but I'm not sure how their service is. Right now I'm with direct TV but I'll switch to dish eventually. Both are cheaper and better than time warner, at least from my experiences. Also, see if AT&T is offering UVerse in your area. I've heard really good things about it but personally I can't attest. Through all my experiences, Time Warner is trash and will always be trash.
