Sorry im a bit late to the whole rip hamilton drama, but why exactly has this happened? Did rip and Kuester butt heads or something? why would you bench your arguably best forward?

and LGW thinks Ralfalski is overpaid. Yikes.

i actually am a closet fan of the Blue Jackets, and really like Rick Nash. Not that i think he would ever be traded here from the BJ's in a million years, but are there any rumors that he may be on the trade block?

holy crap ive missed datsyuk. he breaks the team goal drought first

id love both.

what does Lilja do that Salei doesn't? They're practically one in the same.

some quick advice and general thoughts on going to the game/Detroit 1. park in greektown. you can actually find free parking if you go into the parking structure just across the street from a Greek Orthodox church at the end of greektown, park there. It's free and much safer i think than any other place in the city. do not park anywhere on Cass so many people get their cars broken into on Cass and surrounding areas. Another advantage with parking in Greektown is that there are free shuttles to and from the game. 2. i know this sounds obvious but i really find everytime i go to a game and get there early to beat the crowd, watch the warm ups & shoot-around i really enjoy it so-- be early! 3. as others have mentioned try to avoid using the bathrooms the lines are gross but the bathrooms are even grosser. 4. if possible, avoid concessions. ridiculous prices, maybe bring water to drink if you can?

6 million a year? Yikes

or picked up like a tall glass of miller lite. Boy, that's a nice pour.

wonder when the news will break very interesting...

Bertuzzi needs to stay, and thankfully he will. 1.5 cap hit, most likely going to flirt with 20 goals and 50 points. I'd take that everyday and twice on sunday with Bert.

wow definitely didn't see this coming but i'm legit all for it. wow. Ozzie, Nabby, and Howie

there's always next year Leafs...

so how many times will he be mentioned during the all star weekend even though he's out? 1-10? More than 10 times? im afraid to find out.

Zetterberg? :x in all seriousness though, im so glad Crosby isn't going to play...they can't possibly talk about him then, can they? Awesome to see Lidstrom get some major props. Now he can complete the honors with a Norris and Stanley Cup

interestingly enough i get similar feelings sitting in the stands watching a Whalers game, or any hockey game for that matter. I think to myself of how many of these players i'd actually hate to know in person and so on. I try to not consider that for the NHL or Wings, maybe the ******-ness isn't so blatant in the NHL (for the most part). Taylor Hall deserves to get cracked for just sounding like an overall ******.

gotta wonder if this one will get scrappy. can't say im opposed to that scenario at all. Very excited for this game tonight. It's truly too bad Crosby is out -- it'd be nice to see Zetterberg completely shut him down again or who knows, maybe that could have squared off for a fight. Guess that'll have to wait. Go wings, i hope they still take them out while missing key components to the line up. Hudler gets at least one goal and Ericsson beats up Orpik.

love Kronwall, but has he really laid anyone out this season so far? He has seemed to have shifted towards incorporating a more offensive role in his play - which is good but i believe him sending a great check is just as important for him.

HFboards is full of dimwits. not because i love zetterberg, or because he IS the best 2 way point producing forward in the league, but because HF boards consistently under appreciates any player not named stamkos, crosby, or ovechkin.

long injury list for both teams. I'm gonna predict Hudler gets a goal tonight.

sucks. Hope this isnt Ozzie's final season. Get well soon. Just when he was really starting to get his game back... ack.

just imagine how he would talk to his staff about bringing in players. Dion Phaneuf/ Jonathan Tavares...these guys are MONSTERS!!!

gotta love Pierrre Mcquire crying about the Russians celebrating when they got the trophy "they'll remember this next year" as the Russians skate past the line of Canadians HAHAHA what a whiner.

wow what a blow up from Canada. Good to see them lose, and choke.

Canada was robotic in their game against the US it was sick how well they played.
