    Penguins sign Aaron Boogaard

    http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?articleid=30036...mp;service=page Looks like Boogey Jr. is on his way to the NHL. I have to remember to mark the Pens vs. Wild game on my calendar, whenever they play each other.

    Official Monday GDT: Stars @ Canucks, 9PM EST

    Think the refs are biased in this one? Nice hi-sticking call......Jesus..... Nothing would make me happier than seeing the Stars pull this one out and a bunch of stunned Canucks fans. Btw, the Sedin twins are so *** for each other.

    That's kinda what I figured. to that whole messed up system.

    Penguins sign Aaron Boogaard

    Not sure. I haven't seen him in action, but he racked up a whole lot of penalty minutes in the minors. Since he's Derek's little brother I can only assume he's sparred with him on more than a few occasions.

    Best thing about round 2, playing an AMERICAN team.

    Wow, I didn't realize Sharks fans were that clueless about every team but their own. Funny how this person slams us for having "soft Euros" then uses Lebda, a Chicago boy, as his example. If we face the Sharks they better hope they keep their PP going because Nabokov sure as hell ain't no Kiprusoff.

    Good Series, Hats off

    Thank you for the congratulations and I know that we all appreciate your good sportsmanship and kindness after such a tough series. I know I wouldn't be able to keep my cool if the series had gone the other way. Kiprusoff has been my favorite goalie since the '04 Cup run and he showed why in this series. Good game and better luck next year.

    Ahh good old FSN is back.

    Hrudey was a sub-par goalie, at best, who only receives recognition because he played on teams with great players (Gretzky, for example). Because of this fact, he has a much bigger ego than he should and therefore thinks he knows enough to comment on NHL games. I rarely take anything he says seriously. And Ron Maclean used to be okay, but I think being paired with Grapes for so long has started to make him senile as well.

    NHL Quest for the Cup game

    Anyone catch the word today (during the TB vs. NJ game)? I was listening for it but got distracted with work.

    Wings fans acting like babies

    I have to agree with GST on this one, to a point. I think the actions that the league took were appropriate. I don't think what Iginla did was enough to warrant a suspension, really. And the Lebda hit and the resulting cheap shot by Langkow was really kind of a combination of retaliatory acts. Even though McLennan wasn't going to see any action in this series outside of last night, I think 5 games sends the message that if you lose your composure like that you're going to be punished. We can beat this pack of goons without having to have their best players suspended, so let's just beat them fair and square and move on the next opponent.

    I just have to say I love your name. D.R.I. anyone?

    CBC is always at least a little grainy for me. I think it's just their way of "sticking it" to us Americans.

    I personally can't stand the NBC commentators, mostly because they never shut up and have nothing but negative comments about either team the entire game. That being said, the CBC personnel are complete morons. They never know any of the players' names, constantly screw up stats and numbers, and often times would refer to Hasek as Kiprusoff and vice versa. For my money, you just can't get any better than Ken and Mick.

    Game 6

    But guys, Grapes says Calgary will win tomorrow no matter what. I mean, he knows so much about hockey that it has to be true.

    Game 5: (4/21) Flames @ Red Wings - 3:00 PM ET

    Glad to see Bertuzzi take down that punk ass Phaneuf. That's why we got him at the deadline. Calgary need to stop acting like a bunch of babies and quit with the classless s***. Now we all know why McLennan will never be anything more than a goonish pseudo-backup "goaltender." Lastly, good win boys.

    Game 5: (4/21) Flames @ Red Wings - 3:00 PM ET

    God damn, I had to turn to CBC to watch this game because the NBC commentators will not stop talking for even half a second. Emrick and Maguire are so annoying.

    Toretella drops an F-bomb

    I saw it too. I was pretty surprised that CBC didn't make Ron apologize for the network immediately after it happened. Glad to see they didn't cut the rest of the interview short and censor everything.

    Babcock's coaching.

    If Samuelsson scores a single goal in this series, drinks are on me the whole night.

    California Band Wagon Fans.

    It's like that with the Bengals back in Cincinnati. When we finally made the playoffs two seasons ago you couldn't go anywhere without seeing "Who Dey?!" signs and Palmer jerseys everywhere. Now? Not so much.

    Babcock's coaching.

    I think Babcock has done an "OK" job at coaching, but not the great coaching that we need to win big in the playoffs. I've gotten used to the fact that he's never going to sit Sammy and put in Hudler, which just really irritates me, but my biggest gripe is the way he manages shifts. In both games 3 and 4 he played Dats and Hank way too much from about 12:00 to 18:00 minutes in the 3rd period, leaving them tired and basically useless for the final two minutes when we really need all of our best players out there. And just because Lilja makes a few decent plays per game doesn't mean he should be getting as many minutes as he does. He directly lead to 2 goals yesterday by being out of position and following the puck and by unneccesarily going 2 on 1 against Conroy and then deflecting the shot off his leg. Also, he seems really nervous and unsure of himself in the intermission interviews. We need a coach who gets pissed off and isn't afraid to bench crappy players.

    Time warp: 2001, wings lose in 6, give up 2-0 lead

    I'll never say that a series is over until one team gets that 4th victory. However, it seems like we've gotten back into our bad habits from last year. And Babcock isn't doing a very good job as a coach. Second game in a row he's tired out Datsyuk and Zetterberg before the final two minutes of the game. You just don't do that if you want us to have a shot. Not to mention we haven't been getting any help from the refs. Horribly officiated game tonight and in Game 3. If this team gets its collective head out of its ass and starts playing smart hockey then I think we'll be okay. If not, then we'll see...

    Game 4: (4/19) Red Wings @ Flames (LIVE)

    Nice to see Babcock finally put Sammy on the fourth line. I'd much rather he be out of the game entirely, but I'll take what I can get.

    Game 4: (4/19) Red Wings @ Flames (LIVE)

    Kenny, PLEASE fire Babcock if he doesn't bench Samuelsson the next game. My God, he is ******* worthless.

    Jackets' McLean Fired

    Good news for the BlueJackets. I don't think McClean has made very many smart moves in his career as their GM, aside from drafting Nash (which was a no-brainer). Hopefully for them someone more capable fills the position and finally gets them into the playoffs. Although, for our sake I hope they keep on struggling.
