Do you enjoy seeing Wayne get that constipated look on his face?

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, too. Which only makes his paper doll treatment of them even more awesome. Especially when they slow it down.

If he did want to stay in Philly, just because he could have doesn't mean he -would- -- they wanted to make a trade, he decided he wouldn't mind/would like one too. He accomodated their desire to get something, he in turn gets to be on a good team. Both sides in Philadelphia win. It doesn't stop there though. The funny thing is that Fors is actually, so the rumor goes, a human being. Incredulous, right, but bear with me. So he's.. I hear.. equipped with emotions and can form attachments to places and people, and even funnier, is that when these attachments get disrupted even when he knows it ahead of time, he'll.. what's the word... be able to feel bothered by it? I know, I know, I don't believe it either, all you LGW loyal, but apparently espn is doing the coverage on this breaking side-story, so who knows. But seriously. I'm not a fan of Forsberg, I don't see the need to villify him either though. He's just another guy. This is at least some part PR for Flyers fans, but I wouldn't be surprised if he feels the impact of changing horses mid-stream. In other news, Grind Line 33 said it all, really.

Hank. I wanna see him do it again. Please?

Soldier on in the message board wars, soldier on 'til morning. Relax, though. Keep in mind these two eternal truths: i) it's all a game ii) this is the internet With this knowledge held close to your heart, you may attain true peace and solidarity with mankind. Now go and spend an afternoon in reflection on Mount Hasek, where all the rest of the team roster sits on his chiseled rocky shoulder when he's not nursing an injury. This will be restorative to your wartorn soul due to the damage of the long icy campaign and ready you for what is ahead. Also, before you descend, be sure to push Lilly and Willy off. Tell no one.

One last thing before I go, gotta get some things done before later tonight: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...0321/1128/rss16 How many years have the Wings been doing this? Any other teams around the league that do the same? I just think it's so damn cool. I mean.. haha, it's like, well, the reverse of being lugged around by your parents for hockey tournaments and games as a kid. If you played. And this is definitely a way to get 'paid back' for that love and time sacrificed. It's also just weird seeing Z with his dad. I kind of wonder what other players' fathers look like, too.

For some reason I was thinking that Cheli's dad was dead... I'm not sure where it is I got that idea. The internet movie database apparently has a bio for Cheli though. Or should I say, Christos Tselios, son of Constantine, son of.. some other Tselios with a badass foreign name.

Joey Mac hates you and all your future offspring. In fact, he will eat them. With a relish.

http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=177283 "Want to be manly? Have the guts to wear the visor and know it doesn't make you any less tough, any less of a hockey player." This is dumbfounding. I'm just baffled at the idea of some guys out there thinking visors are wimpy, if there are--regrettably, I wouldn't be surprised at that. No matter what age, people will astound you with amazingly irrational beliefs. It reminds me of Philippe Boucher from '03, where the Devils were the dealers instead of receiving on this one.

I can answer someone honestly this time! He got high-sticked, is the word. He'll be better soon. On a sidenote, I can't get over there being two "#40" superfans on the same forum. I'd be inclined to start taking fight bets--if I were a gambling man.

St. Valentine's day down, now St. Patrick's day to go. And you'd best be decked out in river green if you're visiting Chicago that weekend. http://shop.nhl.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=2623945 If this doesn't go here, just move it. I figured Gen. Discussion since it's the NHL site. I dig this and this, but where's the Old Time version of the Wings shirt? For clearly, it is superior to the other version. With your own eyes:

I think it's very tough to use green well, yeah. (..and... I am so metrosexually aware of color and style....? apparently so.) That's why I probably only would like some of that stuff for St. Pat's only. It depends though, some shades are winners.

I seriously thought that's just how he came. I mean, it surprised me too, but I'd just as quickly figured: "eh, maybe he just has bad teeth? Sweden, you never know?" hahaha It's only for a limited time that he will ever say "I luff yoou" to someone though. Someone ought sneak into his house and make him tape it. I think that comment and picture above is absolute perfection though.

It's more than sweet, isn't it? I know. Honestly, the only way they could get better would be have an option of putting a player number number on one sleeve. I'd absolutely go nuts for a green Old times tee with a #40/5/14 (Yeah, Shanny)/19/anything you want.

I think that'd be an excellent idea. One-up from that would be hiring mercs to kidnap the entire Nashville Predators squad, and hold them until June. Sometimes the best deals you can make, are the deals you make illegally. Go Kenny!

http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&a...rticleid=288965 http://www.1967leafsdinner.com/ This sounds pretty badass... because who doesn't like the idea of old teammates publically getting together to reminisce a little over something good? Actually, focusing on celebrating something that happened 40 years ago is pretty silly. Bringing past squadmates together and for charity, though, manages to redeem it a bit. I'd never want to go to something like that myself, being not the type to actually look back much... but the idea of a celebratory charity dinner + current year Stanley Cup + Woodward Ave. parade? That would be killer. It'd also kill in charity fund gathering. This, however, just reminds me all over again of why I'd like to see the Wings actually be successful again this year.

So long as you don't mess up when handling the health of a patient, you're still gold. And lawsuit free. As for Z's dad... I think Joran not only knows, but resoundingly approves. Off to the side though, I don't think mrs. Zetterberg is all too wild about Hank documenting that side of Swedish life. Imagine why.

I don't think anyone's disputing whether or not people wear them. That's pretty obvious. Just because they exist in the league, doesn't mean that behind the scenes some of the players won't think of them as weak. In lovely fashion, humanity's well-known for stupidity. I don't imagine this stops just because somebody's 28 and in the NHL: it doesn't stop 28+ year olds that aren't in the NHL for making up stupid rules of machisto amongst their peers. So all in all? Yeah, I'd bet some players have that issue with them. Others don't. Others still probably love the hell out of them. Until anyone gathers some clues into the players opinions, we'll just have to rely on the track record that's already been put out there. And it ain't the most rational one.

"Vat's up," hahahahahaha I think because primarily the commercials aren't geared toward hockey folk. Obviously even non-fans can pick up that it's a hockey jersey without all the equipment.. but it drives the point home, I'm sure. Baseball and basketball don't have tons of equipment underneath, so it grabs attention to include it in some of the cases. Someone could come in and say, "So does football!" I'm sure, but football, baseball, and basketball aren't the ones hurting for making an impact in America. Thus, hit the common denominator over the head skates and hockey pants.

Crymson, I would just like to say that your sig totally gets an LGW outstanding signature award. It rocks. I think it was just because the play was that awesome. In a spasm of disbelief like that, I know I'd hit the wrong button too.

Hahaha! If only Hank's interview tonight could be online! Hank is glowing like he just made love for the first time ever. I am serious, there is that little grin and glint in his eye. This is hilarious.

I know, I love it when even they know it from the ice. "Hank, that was sick. I can't believe we did that."

HR, now my suffering is over. Hank is officially my V-day honey, just for this third period. Thank you for saving the game single-handedly, Henrik Zetterberg!

I know, it was pretty sweet huh? Too bad Dats' greed may get the best of him and break up this duo. When they're on, they can pull out some great stuff.

About nine minutes. And they just sort of did... However, the pain of that "now you have it - now you don't!" still remains. I think Z will need to make another goal happen. Or someone out there will just have to, somehow, some way...
