The NHL would never have the guts to suspend a star player. Signed, Maurice "Rocket" Richard

Don't forget about Belushi and Akroyd belting out Stand By Your Man at Bob's Country Bunker in the Blues Brothers. Rawhide was the only other country song they knew.

As does my daughter. She is 12 today. Steve hit 42. Same age as me.

Look what Trotz has done and compare his record against the Blue Jackets. They both entered the league at the same time. Ask yourself which team is in better shape. Sure Nashville has a few early exits but it could be a lot worse.

That's a squid, man. Not an octopus.

I hope Lidstrom does the same thing to Thornton.

The other one was a youtube video. Our filter at work blocked it. I'm glad someone posted a different source.

Great news. No Frasier for the first round and now no McGeough. I always wonder how they still have jobs.

Anyone at the game? How was the crowd?

Quick and dirty with ms paint....

Shark vs Octopus. I guess we call this one the seafood series.

34 shots on goal. Leads the NHL.

I'd rather have Lebda back. No knock on Quincy, but Lebda is becoming a stud.

Not as long as St. Louis, Columbus, Edmonton, Chicago, LA, and Phoenix are in the West.

Those "weaklings" over in the Eastern Conference have won the last three Stanley Cups.

Montreal is an equipment manufacturer, not a city. I hope you guys already knew this but it doesn't sound like it from the tone of your posts. Montreal Hockey

Gotta like all the puck marks on the front of Kippers jersey. Sammy's been busy.

Who the f@ck is Dan Smith and why is he listed on the Detroit roster on NHL.com? They even have a nice picture of him in a Detroit jersey. Player Profile

All right. I'm an idiot. Living in GR, I should at least know the Griffins alternate captains. But to tell you the truth, I'm a pretty casual fan when it comes to the Griffins. I really don't get involved in learning a lot about the individual players. Looking at his stats, he has been pretty invisible this season. I guess that's a good thing if you're a defensemen.

Good Lord! I hope you are kidding. The Fox glow puck was the stupidest idea in the history of televised hockey.

Ooooo. Goalie fight!

Good news..... as long as the Red Wings stay healthy and quit calling up all our players. The Griffins lost a few games this season because half the team was up in the NHL.

No kidding. 4-12 in their last 16 games. This team is hurting. The Griffins are also on a 6 game losing streak against the Moose. Grand Rapids hasn't beaten Manitoba since November. But at least they're still playing. I'm picking up tickets to game 4.

Well how about that. I've never heard of the guy and I've been to about 10 Griffins games this year. I guess he made quite the impression on me.

I don't think either one is that good. That's what happens when you use a forward on the point. Defensemen are used to handling the puck at the blue line. They do it the whole game. Forwards, not so much. I'm a center but I fill in on defense from time to time. The hardest part about switching is taking that pass from down low, keeping it in the zone, and then making a decent shot on net. Especially when some kamikazi is flying out at you trying to clear the zone and you know any mistake on your part is a breakaway in the other direction.
