Nice They're showing highlights of SWE-CZE on the Danish feed I'm watching, and holy crap did the Czechs get screwed on that 2nd goal.

I just turned it on. Pretty goal or what? And any rough stuff yet?

Oooh, I know how! They just won't slip to worst in the league.

"I can't believe I shook that guy's freakin' hand" maybe? Edit: beaten by a matter of seconds. Well played, vladdy, well played.

It won't be as late as 8:30, but it won't be right at 8:00 either. Probably somewhere around 8:10ish

Haha, the answer was so obvious that I was thinking it had to be wrong.

I think you might mean 2 of the 4 best players in the world. #1 plays defense for the Red Wings

Franzen

No one's saying that the Pens defense is crap. We are, however, saying that the Wings defense is phenomenal.

Welcome I agree with you on most of your assessments, except I don't think the defense category is as close as you'd like to think it is, especially if we're talking team defense. Fleury's playing pretty damn well right now, but I like to think that with Homer and Franzen in front of him and Datsyuk and Zetterberg combining for goals that he has no chance on that he'll get rattled because he's still young. I'm not one of the people here who thinks that the Wings are just going to steamroll the Pens. They're both playing phenomenal hockey and assuming they both move on, it should be one hell of a series.

Superb GDT as usual And also, tonight's the night the Wings win 14-2 Datsyuk's got the hat trick monkey off his back, so he'll get 4 of them tonight.

Doh. I forgot that quotes here have dates on them.

Was this during the OT game? There were quite a few chicken littles when that game went to overtime.

No I definitely like watching him play. As someone on XM204 said though, "Sidney Crosby is becoming a very polarizing character. You either hate him or you detest him." I'm just not one of the people who cares about beating a full, healthy team. I'd be happy to win the cup even if it was against the Spanish women's junior team.

I wouldn't mind if Downie Downied Crosby tonight.

Ooof, that's twice in 2 games Steve Downie couldn't clear it and the Pens scored because of it.

Waiting for someone to take the bait... Also, I'm pretty sure I could have scored 50 goals in the NHL 20 years ago. It looks so easy.

It's just one of those topics now that can really derail a thread. Crosby vs. Ovechkin, Hasek vs. Osgood, and now the Pens getting special treatment.

Because people DO get called for weak stuff on Crosby a lot, and it's very, very noticeable when it does happen. Anyway, that was a sick play by Jones on that 3 on 1.

Actually Ireland does have a team. They're ranked below such powerhouses as Mexico, Spain, and Israel but they do exist.

It was doing that to me. I think it's just slow right now, even the main page wouldn't load at times. Just keep refreshing and it will eventually work.

I went to high school with 2 people with Asperger Syndrome, and both of their "repetitive interests" were hockey. Neither one of them could hold a candle to your knowledge though.

Boooooooo I'm listening to some Buckcherry as I climb into bed.

That's pretty nifty. Thanks

I'm actually worried about the Penguins. The Wings will absolutely destroy them 5 on 5 probably, but if the Pens keep getting PPs and capitalizing on them, it could be a hell of a series. Oh, and Crosby is a whiner, diver, crybaby, etc.
