3-3 tie in the dying minutes of the 3rd. Sent from my laptop using a keyboard.

This legit made me laugh This is what you get when a 4th line center gets 1st line minutes.

That means Bert gets first line next game.

Lazy floater strikes again

This blown 3rd period lead was brought to you by... Emerald Nuts! Filling your screen delaying your angry GDT reply.

Updated with graphics, sorry about the delay. rrasco thanks for the effort, we must have thought about it at the same time. Lineups look strange, I don't know how I feel about Andersson on the top line. Either way, let's keep the wins rolling in. GO WINGS!!

I would approve of a trade for Ehrhoff, as long as the price is right. I believe he's the kind of D we need.

I still need to watch last nights episode, I generally watch on Monday through the xbox on HBO GO when it comes up. American Horror Story does something similar, each season it's a new set of characters and an entirely different story line, although a lot of the cast remains the same. I can only guess who they might get for season 2, I anticipate more great and well known actors to match or top what they have been doing this season. It's tough getting into shows like this that have so few episodes per season, the BBC version of Sherlock is another example as it's only a 3 episode season but each one is two hours long. I'll continue to watch True Detective after this season, i'm enjoying it thoroughly so far and i'm eager to see how it all concludes.

I sent this over to the Water Cooler as the Creative Media Section is more meant for original artwork, photoshops, wallpapers, and gifs created by site members. I have been watching True Detective, its a very dark narrative so far and i'm very much enjoying it. What I also like is that each season will be an entirely new cast and story line. Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey will only be in the first season's 8 episodes. For those unfamiliar, True Detective is a new HBO original series for 2014 and plays out like a cross between the movie Se7en and Law & Order style detective narrative drama. It's not for the light hearted, has a bit of a twisted aspect to it and can be portrayed as mildly disturbing. As with any live airing program, let's minimize spoilers as some catch up on episodes later in the week and others have not begun watching it at all.

I see us signing a depth 9th defenseman that will never play like Garnet Exelby, but will still draw excitement from at least 3 people on this site. We are overdue for an impact deadline move, but I still don't think this is the year.

It could be worse, he could have a hidden repetitious word that he uses in every sentence, including "like, um, ah, but" or "you know". He could be like reporting something and then like says something over and over that like he doesn't notice. Once you realize he's saying it like over and over you like can't unhear it. As he's new to the field stuff like this he'll receive constructive criticism about and he'll get a bit more comfortable over time. I can't imagine how difficult a job like that is. Could make a solid drinking game of out if, drink every time Osgood says "very" during a broadcast.

There is an Edler thread in the Rumor area of the forums, and within show some links to what Vancouver roughly wanted from Detroit when we were previously seeking it out. Apparently, Detroit had offered 3 players and a pick for Edler and Vancouver in return wanted 4 and a pick. It then collapsed. Stacking that into a package with Kesler I think would be entirely too costly considering the asking price of Edler alone (not confirmed but reported). I'd imagine having to give up Franzen, Nyquist, a few prospects maybe including Sproul or Mantha, and a pick or two. It's tough to know entirely, because we aren't GMs and what gets reported isn't necessarily correct. For me though, putting them together, Stewart is the only one that doesn't much interest me, so that puts me on the Kesler/Edler end of the deal. And no Dab, this is a pretty creative thread and nice break from a lot of the repetition that tends to pile up.

"3rd Period Implosion Arena" I don't see it being anything creative, it will get sponsored and be something obnoxious like "Geico Fifteen Minute Forum".

I think you answered your own question here. As I don't agree with what Neil did, when you are a goon with not much skill you need to maintain "standout power" or else you get buried like Tootoo. For the sake of his career and maintaining a roster spot, he's making efforts to step in after an embarrassing loss and stick up for his squad. It's something that draws attention away from the scoreboard and mixes things up a bit. He's finding ways to make himself a noticeable player on the ice to keep his career going as he's not scoring on occasion like he was and is offering less overall. Again, I don't agree with it, but I think this is the case entirely.

Welcome back! As always, lines are projected as this was posted the night before the game. This is in anticipation of Datsyuk and Franzen returning to the lineup. A couple of big games back to back here as we venture forward without captain Z for the remainder of the season. Let's come out flying, shake that Olympic hangover and get a win here. Wings win it 3-2. GO RED WINGS!!!

Emerald nuts? What's that?! Hold on I need to click off this obnoxious ad that keeps popping up over my text area. The person below me has some kind of nut allergy.

Same, in two leagues! They are both long term keeper leagues so it wouldn't have been too smart to dump him with that in consideration. For me, Rinne is a top 3 goaltender in the league. It's a nice boost for Nashville getting him back from his strange condition and i'm glad to hear he's made a full recovery. Good news out of an organization that I hate a bit less now that we are in the East, thanks for the update.

I still have such an insane backlog of games to play right now I think i'll hold off until fall at the earliest at this point. Don't laugh, but I have about 35 games that I own on 360 between arcade and retail that I have never even touched and want to finish before even thinking about moving on. Some of them are project games also, not just small quick playthroughs. The only thing that might draw me in sooner is Titanfall on One.

Clarkson also takes an obnoxious about of stupid penalties, that's what we need around here, more penalty kills.

I like real bananas, artificial banana flavoring is usually gross. The person below me is glad NHL hockey is back!

It's been fun, congrats to Canada, Sweden, and Finland respectively. Back to the NHL, and another 4 year wait until more Olympic hockey.

The topic title says it all, this is the area to actively discuss the 2014 Olympic hockey games, teams, players, and ongoing developments. Keep the discussion strictly about Olympic Hockey, not the politics surrounding the events or anything else that is against forum rules. Keep it friendly and civil as we do have posters from numerous nations on this site that will support their respective nation. Most importantly, enjoy the games!

I'll take the game tomorrow then against Montreal. I'll get you on the list for Thursday.

Weiss has dealt with that sports hernia issue this entire season, he's a lot more skilled than most around here are giving him credit for. I think when he comes back, is entirely healthy. and gets back on his game people will begin to see where the money was spent and why. Way too many people are writing him off because how he started this season. I still keep Weiss over Clarkson without hesitation. Clarkson had an offensively "lucky" season which he won't match again. Weiss actually has an offensive skill set to him that can be unleashed when healthy.

Reopened for this weekends medal rounds. It's been fun, good luck to the remaining teams. Lets hand out some medals and get back to Red Wings hockey!
