The same goes for Chicago, San Jose, and Vancouver, though. Anyone that makes it to the final will have to face two of Chicago, San Jose, Vancouver or Detroit, barring upsets. But at this point I would rather face Chicago than Nashville.

Every fan base has them, unfortunately, our included.

His skate stepped into the front of Howie's pad and he used it like a ski, pushing it away from his body. It definitely impeded Jimmy's ability to position himself to stop the puck.

I would love to have Staal in a Wings' jersey.

They just don't get hockey down there, do they?

I was actually thinking about asking the more creatively talented end of LGW to edit a certain other superstar's body over Ovechkin's as a joke, but my thought process was along the same lines as you.

Where's all this "disappears in the playoffs" nonsense coming from. Hudler has 28 points in 51 playoff games which equates to .55 points per game. In the regular season Hudler has 127 points in 255 games which is .50 points per game. How is that disappearing?

I was flipping back and forth between the LA game and my homework last night, and I caught a replay of a too many men penalty and it looked like a normal line change. Guys were jumping off the bench as guys were jumping on the bench. During that little scrum there were about 8 or 9 guys on the ice, but the play wasn't near the benches and from what I saw on the replay, none of the Kings changing were involved in the play until after the penalty was called. Granted, I only saw a replay and Pierre making jokes about not being able to play with 15 guys on the ice, so who knows what the story looked like in context.

I thought that the officials did catch it and were yelling at the Pens to get one guy off the ice.

That goes against the "code", therefore it would not "work"

I gotta say Nashville scares the hell out of me. edit: Also a quick shoutout to all my WMU brethren!

Little does he know he sealed the fate of his entire team with that little move.

This is true, although there are a heck of a lot of young goalies this year, especially in the West, not to mention the overrated talent like Luongo and Nabakov who are always good for getting pulled at least once per series.

Dividing by zeros, mostly.

Detroit Franzen Abdelkader Eaves Rafalski Phoenix Fiddler Yandle what do i win when i'm right?

So does my NHL10 prediction.

Can someone get an Ab-del-ka-der chant going for me? I support him but have no way of showing it

I just want to see them play hungry and gritty and not back down, regardless of how good or bad they've been playing.

I really hope the Wings don't take this as an invite to try to play a slow puck possession style that works in the regular season. They need to wear these guys down hard. I expect Abby to have 10 hits before the night is over.

I read somewhere that they're waiting until tomorrow's practice to decide whether he'll play tomorrow night or not. Fiddler is supposedly in, though.

Overall the Coyotes have been outworking the Wings, and that's how they've scored all their goals. When the Wings have turned on the switch, the game looks completely one-sided and its a wonder why Phoenix is in it at all, but unfortunately those moments are as often as they should be given its the playoffs.

Everyone ups their game in the postseason. Howard is learning that he is going to need to up his game, too, if he wants to survive.

I wish refs called for diving more than they do.

Out of all the expansion teams and teams in poor hockey markets, I've always hoped that Nashville would pull away from all the stigma associated with it. They run a tight ship down there.
