    Snakes

    I could use some piebalds! I breed ball pythons but I don't have much in the way of recessives. Pieds always fetch a great price.

    Souray asks for trade out of Edmonton

    I'd love to get him on re-entry waivers. He's definitely worth 2.7 million... it's his full salary that's the problem.

    Snakes

    As a python breeder I'm just happy they plan on using plastic snakes instead of dead ones. Oh, and it's funny that they think the issue is that they'd be thrown out. The NHL has had a rule for this since the crazy rat throwing incident in the Panthers-Aves finals and the result is that the home team would be assessed a minor penalty for delay of game.

    Souray asks for trade out of Edmonton

    There's no way the Bruins would trade that pick but I do think they might be interested in moving Thomas for Souray and something else. You make a good point.

    Wings to use same lines for Game 1

    The 3rd and 4th lines are our grit and guts. They'll be an asset. Cleary, Helm, Eaves and Miller are going to be warriors out there.

    Who scores wings first playoff goal?

    Holmstrom on a deflection of a Lidstrom slapper on a PP.

    Exactly

    Who will be the Wings Playoffs MVP?

    MVP: Howard Sleeper: Franzen or Kronwall (I assume sleeper picks can't be super obvious guys like Datsyuk, Lidstrom or Zetterberg)

    Souray asks for trade out of Edmonton

    Sure he wants a trade. The good news for him is that the Oilers have most of their cap eaten up by a handful of bloated contracts next season and want to make some serious changes. The bad news? Souray is an aging, one-dimensional, injury prone defenseman who makes 5.4 million a season for two more years. Who's going to take him at that price? Any team that takes him will want to trade a bloated contract back...

    Congrats Kook! I'm happy I made the top ten. Next season I'm going to gun for top 3

    2010 NHL Playoffs

    Really? That is interesting. Too bad Philly has BB in net.

    Yeah! There are going to be upwards of a dozen angry Arizonians on the weekend.

    Chicago gets Nashville

    Chicago should win that series easily but the important part is that Nashville will wear them down physically. Like others have said, though, Nashville has very good goaltending so anything can happen. It'd be very, very, very satisfying to watch Chicago go down in the first. So very satisfying.

    So jealous. If I didn't live in New Brunswick I'd haul my ass down to Detroit to ice level too

    Identify this Autograph!

    Now I'm confused. I do know from collecting hockey cards that signatures can vary quite a bit over the years and depending on the number of times they've signed in that session (which makes sense-- when I have to sign a contract or something my signature falls apart pretty quickly). Hmmm... it must be one of those two guys. But based on the fact that Vlady said she met him through what I presume was a Wings alumni event I'm leaning towards him.

    Could it be Gerard Gallant? He wore 17 for years...

    Identify this Autograph!

    Looks like they wore the number 17? That was Gordie Howe's first number... hmmm... was Gordie snickering when he signed your poster? Here's a list of players who've worn 17 in the NHL: http://www.hockey-reference.com/friv/numbers.cgi?number=17

    Howard Becomes Yet Another Different Wings Playoff Starter

    I kind of miss him. We need more insane posters to spice this forum up.

    4/11 GDT: Red Wings 3 at Blackhawks 2 (OT)

    Awesome picture. I can't wait to see more disappointment in Hawks fans' faces.

    Good point about the 'stache. Cindy wishes he could grow a masterful mustache like Lanny McDonald. Excellent point.
