Battle Creek says Go Wings Go!

According to TSN, he took a skate from Jose Theodore to the back of the leg and cut some tendons.

Regarding "walking on eggshells" and all that, I too think being PC gets out of hand sometimes too. But I don't think we'd be adding anything to this fine board by spelling out F>>>>>> c>>> or other profanity. We all know what the synbols mean. It still amazes me how Crawford lost it so badly that day. That's what's made him such a poor coach all this time.

OK, Here's an excerpt. Crawford: "You f>>>>>> old c>>t. Bowman: "For what/" Crawford: "For f>>>>>> Shanahan.....F>>> you, you old f>>>>>> loser. Later, Aaron Ward, also on the bench to Crawford: F>>> off. Sit down. And it goes on with a few more f-bombs from Crawford. After the transcript of the exchange, Dater writes, "Barry Smith, Yzerman and Draper look at Crawford as if witnessing a car crash. Dater then quotes Barry, who says: "We just wanted to let him (Crawford) go. I think at that moment, we knew we had them."

The book in question is "Blood Fued" by Arian Dater. It's not a bad read at all, although it is a bit biased towards the Avs pointof view vis a vi the rivalry. I would quote directly from the book moer of what Crawford yellled at Scotty, but the LGW Mods would'nt like it as there are some very naughty words used.

I prefer "neglected to suceed."

CAn't link to it and don't know what its worth considering the source, but Ecklund said within the last hour that Hasek is staying according to a source and the Raycroft rumor is now shot down.

This is the best damn fan site in the league.

They showed heart from time to time, but I'm really troubled how several times the team didn't show up early in a lot of the games. Why did that happen?

A two-goal lead in game 5 is crucial. Also, momentum does NOT carry over game to game. As long as Dom rebounds with a strong game, we'll be alright. Down to a 3-game series and we have 2 potentially at JLA. Quiet confidence my friends., quiet confidence.

The Ducks KNEW they had to win that game as all good teams do in that kind of situation. Still, the Wings came back and could have won (Flip's shorthanded crossbar I for one don't give a rip what Ducks fans say. Dom will be huge Sunday, as will Hank and Pavs. HAVE FAITH!

Calm down everyone please! The Wings are coming home. Dom will come back strong Sunday. Hank and Pav will have a HUGE game 5. Bert (forget the turnover last night) is starting to make a bigger impact.

Better now than to have this happen in the spring. If he misses significant time this fall, we'll see just who will step up and who won't. Best of health, "Z".
