Even if you drank gingerale or root beer you'd be drunk by the end of the game.

I'm not expecting Pavs to be a firm offensive contributor for the remainder of the playoffs, based on what his role will most likely be, his past playoff run this year, and the fact that he's coming off an injury. Fortunately our team is deep enough that our top two lines can cancel our their top two lines, and our third and fourth lines can chip in the goals.

I love how its now Sid that's tying up Zetterberg, and how he's gonna wear Z down over the course of the series with his flawless forechecking, yet Zetterberg has three times as many points as Crosby, and is a +3 compared to Sid's -2

I think you're underestimating the value that Pavs has with this team, especially against Pittsburgh. He is just as solid defensively as Zetterberg, so naturally, his primary responsibility is to shut down Malkin. He can worrying about scoring if he finds himself in that opportunity. Imagine how fast this series is going to be over if Dats is as effective as Z. Malkin is their top point producer.

the latter for now, although the quality of digital photos is just about to catch up to the traditional method

I've always secretly hoped that Hossa would sign a piss poor contract until Lids' contract is up, then the Wings reimburse him w/ the longterm. I can always dream, can't I?

I thought the Wings REALLY lost because they played half-assed through a good chunk of the 1st and 3rd period

Ha Unless my last name's Malkin, I get a suspension. Crafty devils.

Its been a while since I've heard the word fetish in relation to hockey

That speed he has could be a great asset on a PK that is known for letting the other team make the first mistake.

Isn't the ref's decision on the ice final, so no video evidence would be able to overthrow the ref's decision?

With Dats in the lineup the nhl doesn't have it's series. He would be Malkin's Zetterberg, and as Geno is as bad with giveaways as Datsyuk is good at takeaways, Osgood would've had two more shutouts and most likely a win tonight, but that's just speculation. No point wondering.

We are going to lose that extra 15 lbs of thanksgiving fat that's been hugging our thighs. Finally.

Every single point that you mentioned nailed exactly how I am feeling about this series so far. While I think the Wings played to their strengths well, I still feel they need to step it up another notch to keep the Pens at bay. I'm not saying its impossible, but I'll definitely be more comfortable when our veterans get onto the scoresheet a bit more often (fyi the Wings have just as many goals from Griffins right now as they do from Wings; 2 Abdelkader, 1 Ericsson vs 1 Filppula 1 Franzen 1 Stuart). As pleased as I am that the Wings have kept the Pens offense at bay, they're doing a pretty good job against us, as well.

I think he's done for good. They're already saying its not likely he'll play tomorrow. Dats can't possibly be close to recovery if they can assume he won't play 24 hours ahead of time. Even a week's worth of recovery at this point would put us right at the end of the series, and judging from all I've heard, it sounds like he needs at least that.

This is one of the funniest Dr. Rahmani jokes I've ever heard. It was all about the presentation. Kudos

Singular implies a greater sense of individuality and uniqueness than plural. That's all I got.

Honestly, though, its the Finals, and I think it would be more bush-league to suspend him over a rule that so many people hate and think is unnecessary to begin with. I say right call, despite going against the rulebook. edit: replace thing with think

They better be careful with those threats, if Zetterberg is considered anything close to Ovechkin, they will be caught and accused of plotting to MURDER!

Bazing!

SHOULDNT THIS BE IN THE WATER COOLER?? MATT, MODS, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS
