Vomit

Which is why I said it depends on the draft year. Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin, were 100% sure things, superstars before they ever touched NHL ice. 2001, 2004, 2005 I'd take the #1s. 2000, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 I'd take the 20s and 30s

I disagree, it depends on the draft. Take 2004 for instance #1 - Alexander Ovechkin #20 - Travis Zajac #30 - Andy Rogers #31 - Johannes Salmonsson #50 - Enver Lisin #60 - Brandon Dubinsky #61 - Alex Goligoski #80 - Billy Ryan #90 - Justin Pogge #91 - Alexander Edler #110 - Ned Lukacevic #120 - Mitch Maunu #121 - Kris Hogg #140 - Jake Dowell #150 - Mikhail Grabovski I'd take Ovechkin and run

Wrong. LGW is the place for people who love the Red Wings to talk about their shared interest. Lets Go Pens is the place to ***** about your frustrations. And yes, there have been some questionable calls this post season, however, 1) Thats hockey, and thats life in general. Get used to it. 2) It goes both ways. Our guys haven't been saints either. 3) WE ARE WINNING!!! I could understand if we had a goal called back in triple overtime of game 7, but ultimately, those calls have turned out to be inconsequential to our season. Listen. I know you don't know who I am since you've been here, what? 4 days? But I'm usually the last person to participate in the regularly scheduled freak outs over every single loss, injuries, sports announcers, phantom calls, trade deadline deals, Sidney Crosby, and any other reason a person could think of to jump off the bandwagon. Life's too short for that s***, and life's too short for this thread. Enjoy your stay, which will probably be over in another 4 days.

I'm not done with the NHL, but I am almost done with LGW. Seriously, I can't even read the GDT anymore, it's just a bunch of babies crying about officiating. Let's get real people, there is no conspiracy and the refs are pretty god damn fair. Only a bunch of sorry-ass whining homers like you could ruin a season as special as this one...

Here's what Bill Burr thinks of Philly fans. 1:40 is the best.

Make it happen Ozzy!

Or else what? I've never heard of a team losing due to fan over-confidence. At worst, we'll all just look like idiots. And that's a risk I'm willing to take. Wings in 4

It's the same thing in southern california. Whenever I wear my wings jersey out, its about 50% high fives, 30% go ducks, and 20% penguins blah blah crosby slurp slurp. It's like, where the hell did that come from?

Ummm, duh?

I can't believe Lidstrom isn't getting ANY mention as the front runner for this. Lids is and has been the engine driving our defensive machine since the late 90's and it's our defense that's made every comer look minor league so far. Doesn't anyone remember February?

Thinking about Lids retiring makes me sad

Sammuelsson scores HUGE goals!

The odds have nothing to do with who the experts think will win, but rather how the experts think the public will place their bets. They adjust the spread in an attempt to receive an equal amount of wagers on both sides of the bet. I can't believe I'm the only one who knew that...

Tricks are for Datstuk

5-2 WOOT!

Keep us posted

Who gives a s***, Zetterberg's killing his win%

I never get to be the first one to blurt LGW's automatic response to news of a free agent hitting the market. Let me enjoy it!

Get it done Kenny!

That song makes me think of the movie "Airheads" hahaha

I hope Kronwall does that to Crosby in about 2 weeks

That baby makes me want to... punch a baby
