Haha- and that's a close second.

:rotflmao: Best post I've read today. In the words of everyone I went to Jr. High with: BURN!

Please murder gritzkey and post in his stead! I miss your incessant puns.

Wow... so I guess the scouts were right when they said Huddles had a wicked shot.

Colorado has a really good core of impressive youngsters. I'm still worried as hell about Z, but it looks like Dats is doing his whole "take up the team on his shoulders" thing he did when Z's back was hurt last season. I'm thinking the Wings will win tonight but it will NOT be an easy game. Look for the Aves to hit hard and quick to take an early lead but the Wings to look into the mirror and find what they need to win. Huddles will play great tonight. Bank on it.

Uggg.... Marcus is worried about Zetterberg. This is not cool. How come players like Crosby don't have to deal with this recurring injury crap At least Dats and Huddles are back doing their old tricks.

I don't know dude- Huddles has 22pts in 35 games. That projects to 52 points. Yeah- that's a projection, but it also includes the ~15 game cold streak he started the year with. Hudler seems to warm up as a player, not cool down.

Weak. The back-to-back games end up haunting us. Amazing game by Ozzy though. Better luck next time boys.

Ummm so I guess the secret to our sucess is my complaining? Ok, so let's try this: Why hasn't Zetterberg and Datsyuk put a pair of goals each in the net?!? DAMN IT! Why? *crosses his fingers*

Uggggg... how are the boys playing? Listening to the radio broadcast has my jaw sore from gritting my teeth. What the hell is going on?

Yes AND no. Calder was injured during the playoffs and should've recieved another chance to show his worth, but not at the price he got to go to LA. Detroit should've locked him up earlier, in my opinion, and hoped for a Cleary-like transformation. Calder does have talent, don't let anyone fool you. He'd have been very useful on the 3rd line because it'd free Cleary up to move onto the top two lines where he belongs. Jason Williams was dead weight after the concussion (sad, but true- I think the change of scenery has done him good though, so that's a plus). Lang was a turn-over machine and that caused havoc for this team. Honestly- we needed his points, not his sloppiness. Moreover, his propensity to "float" and apparent lack of hustle did not contribute to a positive atmosphere. Markov, however, is a real loss. His hits and solid D were very important to Detroit's sucess last year. That being said- Detroit is far too deep in terms of defensive prospects to warrent a big fat long-term contract for Markov. I'd like to see Holland to sign Markov as late as possible to bring him in for the playoffs while keeping the cap-hit low.

Woh- Kronvall has 4 helpers so far tonight! Here's hoping he keeps living up to expectations!

Ok guys and gals- here's what the panel is saying: Topic: Who's better- Ottawa or Detroit? Panel: Three dudes who like to yap. Judge: Keith Mike Bob Goal: Det Det Det Defense: Det Det Det Forwards: Ott Det Det

Wow- Cleary's defensive play is fantastic. I love how he does all the little things right. He's always falling back in potential breakaway situations, dropping his stick to cover a shooter- all the things that a great defensive forward does.

Kronvall hateres? Anywhere? *crosses his fingers and hopes for a consistent effort on Kroner's part*

Wow- Hudler seems to be buzzing lately. He's hitting too!

Ya know- I've never really been a big Lebda fan, but he's really been growing as a player. I was always in the "he can skate amazingly, but that's about it" camp, but I'm starting to really like his combination of sound defensive play and end-to-end rushing ability.

Jean-Claude Van-Dame that Huddles kid has fast hands. Didn't give the puck a chance to think.

Woh. Anyone notice how easy our pp unit makes hockey look?

Woooo! Wings on TSN I'm watching Molson That's Hockey right now and egarly anticipating the game! Here's to Zetterberg getting a hattie and at least an assist I'm sick and tired of seeing Iginla put up stupid amounts of points in a single game.

Come on boys! LET'S GO WINGS!

Oh Lou- I just can't fight back the laughter with you. Agreed- that move gave me hope. Vintage Hasek. Hasek wins games by being a raving loonie not by sitting back in the net!

Agreed. I don't think the following is a tough choice: --Learn a new style of goaltending or -- Stick with the one that made you the most decorated goaltender of all time.

I guess my ritual works for both my idols! I should be asking for Sergi and Shani, I know- but they play for the competition, so I can't be thinking of them at these times

Almost game time! Time for the ritual: Dear baby jebus, Please make Zetterberg score a hat-trick tonight. Or, at least make him get 3 or more points. If you'd perfer- make Datstyuk score the hat-trick and give Zetterberg all three of those assists plus a goal of his own. Thanks little buddy, Marcus
