Offsides

Hudler has the handicap of being on the 4th line...for some unknown reason. If he was on a better line... ...it's all VERY frustrating. I called 30+ before the season.

Dinken Flicka! I'm actually going to a game where Ozzie is the starter....when's the last time that happened? Haha. I am looking forward to seeing Tampa. I'd like to see a big W tonight..fo sho. Oh, I need to update the Oz-o-meter. I will tonight when he wins

Ohhh...I had a professor like that. I'm not a bad writer and I could not get an A. I didn't try too hard on my first paper I admit, but usually I still get A's because my not trying hard papers are still pretty good. So the next paper I worked my butt off and still didn't get an A. I think I never ever did get an A in any of the papers and I worked really hard on them. I was nearly in tears being so mad about it. I feel your pain. Either the teacher is just sort of biased sometimes, or very very strict grader, although I always follow all standards, but maybe he just didn't think my paper is strong enough. Similarly in my drawing class my teacher would always come up and critisize my work. I was annoyed because the people around me weren't as good and he'd never say anything to them. It was really frustrating that they'd have a mish mosh and I'd have this work of art and he'd come over and be like..this is off or that is off. and I'd leave feeling like I wasn't good enough. By the end of the semester though, I started realizing that he wasn't really talking to the others because he didn't think they were that good...like he didn't think they had potential so he didn't really bother to critisize them. I was in a split advanced class with a lower side and an upper side. For my evaluation at the end he was like..you are in the upper side right? I was like no... So the whole time he thought I was in Drawing 2 and I was in Drawing 1. It was a compliment. Sometimes teachers just push you hard because they want a lot out of you. Oh...and sometimes they're just jerks haha. Secret option #3 is you'll look back and realize that it wasn't as good as you thought..but I will totally give you the benefit of the doubt because I've been there.

I'm glad Hasek isn't close to being voted a starter. If he was...I'd be so mad and it'd guarantee Ozzie would not get a nod. Which would totally be unfair. If Ozzie's still deserving come decision time I hope he gets it.

I'm okay with it. I'm tired of the Olympics now with the NHLers. I was all for it at first and it was cool. But it's sort of old now.

It was a hard hit, but it happens in hockey, and Huds didn't die..he was a bit shaken up, but he wasn't carried off or anything.

If Flip is injured, does Hudler get to move off of the 4th line?

I'd take Leclaire over Hasek right now. I know a goalie with no playoff experience will ever win the Cup, but neither will Dom right now. Ozzie is #1 in GAA...Hasek is #40 Ozzie is #6 in Sv%...Hasek is #30 Ozzie is #3 in Wins...Hasek is #32 And you are TOTALLY delusional. Take Ozzie's worst stat. Do you think we can get one of the 5 goaltenders that are better than him? Is that why we should oust Ozzie. Pssshh. We have one of the best goalies in the league right now. Yay! Everyone thought Ozzie was washed up...we knew he really wasn't he just wanted to be here...and he's totally proving that he can still do what he does best...and I'm sick of hearing this BS. A couple of 3 goal games means nothing.

Blah, I am a busy person, and am having troubles setting my avatar for some reason Babcock is trying to confound ... but Huddles will not be held down!

Hudler on the 4th line hurts my soul. *soul aches* ARGHGHGHGHGH I have a bad feeling about this game, dunno why...not that Kipper's been exceptionally good this year or anything. BUT I do hope we win and kind of get back on track.

Very cool, Reem :-)

Very cool, Reem :-)

Hmm..wow. I for one wasn't

Happy Birthday to the best goalie on the planet! To a man who has given us so many wonderful memories in a Detroit Red Wings uniform, and who will continue to do so in the future!

I'm sorry. I want Fedorov back. My plan to lure him back with a cookie on a string will be put into action.

that was a good one.

Ozzie played good. Even I..his co-biggest fan was down on him at the beginning. I was thinking...ooh..he's not having a good game...not just the goals, he just looked a little off and kind of shaky out there. But you know what he pulled his head back on and played out of his mind. There was this one series of 3 or 4 shots that absolutely blew my mind. To me...that's more important, in a way. He didn't let those 2 demoralizing goals demoralize him. In fact he played some of his best that he has...and the OT was intense too. Ozzie really kept that game close...we should have been losing by more....not based on shots, just on the chances and such. The last CBJ game was very exciting too...I'm enjoying watching them play us.

It is very good. We've been in a pushover division for too long. We come in first and build up tons of wins and really aren't the best team in the league and are kind of fooled when it comes to the playoffs. This is good.

I'm loving playing Columbus. Very exciting games. This is what it's all about people!

Nah...Feds scored on Ozzie in a shootout before and won. Feds is never in the top 3 of shooters, I bed he'd have been fourth if needed. I think that's some kind of strategy.

Like the last game..this game is flipping intense! I am loving playing Columbus! And a shootout again? who called it??? Hahaha... Ozzie v. Blue Jackets = Shootout and awesomeness. However, I hate to tell you but if patterns prevails. Fedorov will score and the Blue Jackets will win...because it's gone: Ozzie - Fedorov - Ozzie - ? tonight. Hmmm. The NHL likes to torture me.

I have pretty much all Fedorov's, and all Osgood's from various teams. My best jersey is my vintage Blues Osgood that is game worn and signed by Ozzie. I love it. It cost me a holiday paycheck. I COVET with all my heart the purple all star jersies and have neither Fedorov nor Osgood. *wants* The only all star jersey I have is a red white and blue Fedorov when it was the world v. na or whatever. It's a nice jersey. I also have a team Russia one, but there's another team Russia one I want as well. I have both Legace Red Wings and Whitney and Bertuzzi *whines* I have Mark Parrish on the Isles...and that's about it for non Wings.

Ozzie gets the last start befor his birthday...so a win based on that. Also, we always seem to go to OT and a shootout when Ozzie faces the Jackets. Also, Also...Ozzie got a shutout and then Leclaire got a shutout last night. Ozzie's still in #1 for GAA, but Leclaire will be playing his butt off I'm sure. Goaltending will keep this a close game, I think it'll be 2-1 in an OT shootout. Ozzie gets the edge in the shootout. Hudler and Datsyuk with goals in it. Holmstrom and Nash with the regulation goals.

Ozzie v. Columbus? I smell a shootout.

Well....but.....Hasek probably played his best game yet. So, perhaps he's improving.
