Nah- I don't have a fantasy team. I just take great pleasure in Dats and Z scoring goals. And I'd like to see Z stay in the top 2 or 3 scorers...

Ugggg, somebody, someone- make Z score a couple of goals tonight!

What's up with Zetterberg? The game stats I see show that he's yet to record a shot on net Is he looking good?

Dear baby jebus, Please make Zetterberg score at least two goals and an assist tonight. A hat-trick and 2 assists would really be prime if that's possible. Thanks little buddy, Marcus

Dear baby jebus, Please make Zetterberg score a hattrick tonight. Thanks little buddy, Marcus

At least we won't have to face our nemesis the Hawks in the playoffs! (since playoff hockey is the natural enemy of the Blackhawks)

Dear baby jebus, Please make Zetterberg score a goal or two off of Datsyuk tonight. Thanks little buddy, Marcus

I reserve the right to feel sad when 20 more mins of hockey have been played.

Clearly the Staal parents feed their kids the perfect food. Stastny obviously had good luck passing his talent down the line, and let's not forget that he had two NHL brothers on the Nordiques when he was playing. Bobby Hull had some luck in this respect as well with his cherry-picking son Bret. There are many fine examples of great hockey playing families. So what makes a great hockey gene-pool? Is it luck or a good environment? Of course this is a common line of thought in the world of genetics, but I'm looking to hear what people think when it comes to the NHL. What's to stop Chelios Jr. from being the next big thing? Nothing!

Agreed- but only if his father stays at least one state away at all time! Fed's Dad was a royal pain.

God no! I hope not Let's just forget about that guy! I feel ashamed posing that sentence in a Howe thread! Good thing I was refering to that other dude.

He's right- wait until the second period's over and BAM! Throw a pillowcase over his head and smuggle him over the boarder to D-town!

Yeah, and you can say the same for almost EVERY winning goalie. Brodeur played on stacked teams in the nineties and early 2000's. Roy certainly played on exclusively good teams.

*kisses terri on the check* Thanks hun! Have a good night

ZETTERBERG! He still needs an assist or another goal on the night, but this goal will at least placate my lust for Zetterpoints!

Dear baby jebus, Please make Zetterberg score a few times tonight! Or at least make him get a few assists. Pleaaaaasssseee?!? Thanks little buddy, Marcus

How's Z been playing tonight?

God I hope so! Zetterberg needs to futher seperate himself from the pack! Dear baby jebus, Please make Zetterberg score at least twice tonight and collect at least 3 points. Thanks, Marcus

*sigh* Obviously Vinny's not going to be traded to the Wings. He doesn't fit in our system even in the slightest and we don't have near the stable of picks/prospects needed to land him. I'd never trade Z for Vinny- Z's the complete package adn Vinny could care less about how many goals get scored on his team as long as he puts up points. Vinny for Dats? No. Only because the Wings need a playmaker first type of guy and Dats is the only guy who fits the bill. If we had another top-line playmaking centre around still I'd make that trade but as it stands the Wings need someone to dangle the puck, confuse the opposition and deke the s*** out of everyone. Dats is that guy. Obviously Vinny is the better offensive player when compared to Dats and aside from the period spanning December 06 to today he's a better offensive player than Z. However- Z is extremely defensively responsible and were he to focus solely on offense like Vinny and Sid do he'd surely put up more numbers. No one here can argue that playing a two way game doesn't diminish a star's potential point total.

Why? Hudler's got a mind-bogglingly good shot. Laser sights on that shot. Don't you remember his SO winner in October?

Lids, Elis, Oz.

Me too!

Dear Baby Jebus- please make Z score the OT goal tonight!

Go go Baby Jebus! Please give Z at least a goal tonight!

Hey Hudler haters: why don't you all eat crow here and now? Hudler, Z, Dats and Terri27: LGW Jiri haters:
