Viperar

calgary is horrendous away, and we dominate on home ice

ok thanks almight lord of the forums on a sidenote, if they could just destroy eachother that would be fantastic

i could see smyth going to the caps, for some reason i could see that being a huge benefit to the caps, and another player for them to form their team around apart from AO, since theyre still sour over jagr leaving

yeah thought so

I think the main difference, that has already been discussed in another thread, is the fact that this year Dats is going in as a much more mature player. Everyone has noticed that he has become a more two sided player, playing defense effectively as well. As bad as it is for our scoring that Hank is out, i think it has really given dats the chance to step up and show us what hes made of, and its made him a better player. I am looking at this year to be the breakout year hopefully!

hahahaha he was just gettin started

Good for babs...glad he's happy...he'll be happier when he plows through the playoffs...hopefully this year

Im thinking adding all the comments up shows he'll be back a few games before the playoffs...which is fantastic

I think the isles will fail to make the playoffs....when he went on that 3-4 game break because of his collision...they dropped something like 3/4. This is a huge blow to the islanders, poor guys

WOOOOOOOOOO OILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

First shot he beat norrena easily, just put it over the net, the second was a good save by bascashiua (sp)....i think he'll find his rythm soon, and hopefully put some in the net during regulation too...hes had chances galore

god...fantastic pictures....top notch!

good news for the flyers...i think he'll help them out enormously

yeah that was hilarious too hahaha

I think the main point that should arise from the argument of who won the fight, is not who hit hardest, but the fact that FINALLY the wings stepped up and did something about other teams pushing them around. For lilja's sake im glad it didnt happen, but even if lilja got pounded horribly, he stood up for his teammates, and thats what truly matters. It has been too long now that the red wings are though of as small skillstick boys and not big tough gritty guys who you know will pummel you with wave after wave of physical aggresive play. I think we are finally starting to re-establish this, and for that i clap loudly for lilja and the boys during the scrum at the end of Period 1.

i just see calder as an infinite help to lang's laziness...we need a hard grinder on there, and while huds works very hard, hes not the same "grinder" that im referring to that calder defines. Malts and drapes are both hard workers, if anything id leave huds with calder and homer on 2nd line and drop lang...but thats pushing it EDIT: congrats on joining on a leap year, im sure youre unique in your join date hahahah

blasphemy

i love how shocked the commentators were when they saw the red wings fight...they were like derrr wtf just happened

i think i had a case of that today about 30 mins before the ducks game, my gf was cooking me and my roomate dinner, and i was jsut kinda sitting at my computer dazing and completely silent probably thinking about the red wings, she thought i was about to pass out or something

i dont see anything wrong with your lines...i just think bert would do a better job at opening space for hank and dats than homer will, plus he can screen like homer, i think that would be better, and then placing homer on the second line, you have a 2nd screen threat, accompanied by a sniper (lang hopefully) and a grinder in calder, then place huds on third with drapes and malts...and your fourth line is probably awesome....only problem is i dont see flip and huds in at the same time due to babs not willing to sit sammy

lets see if edmonton can hold the preds tomorrow...doubtful though

keyword...was Dont get me wrong i hope it returns to full strength but dont just assume that it will

there was one point during the anaheim game where he kept the puck in 3-4 times, fantastic work

oh man i loved that too, and when he was talking to o'donnell i think it was about the ice at the beginning hahaha

anyone realize on the micd up that schneids is very vocal, friendly, and seems like a good teamate?
