I'm glad some Canadian teams are in the playoffs. This way I get to actually watch playoff games (CBC). Though I have FSN for Wings games, I don't have Versus, so I'm essentially screwed for the early rounds outside of the Wings series probably. Hopefully that Versus stream is up during the playoff games.

I can't wait though

isn't that the greatest trophy in sports?

I know I am super psyched for the playoffs this year, I am about to crawl out of my skin in anticipation. I think out line up is so much better for the playoffs this year than last year. We have replaced Yzerman,Shanahan,Williams,Mowers, Legace, and Howard(who had to be back up last year). With Filppula,Bertuzzi,Hudler,Hasek, and Ozzie. Shanny and Williams were probably two of our worst against the Oil.

Just having two healthy goalies like Ozzie and Hasek gives me confidence. Plus I feel Lebda and Franzen have became better sence players last season. Bert will probably get going in the playoffs to though.

O Glorious Fatherland! He shall represent thee well. The days of Datsyuk-driven domination are at hand.

From the far off shores of noble Sweden, donning the three crowns of their ancestors, will Sirs Lidstrom, Zetterberg, and Franzen deliver ruin of their royalty unto those foolish enough to place themselves in their way.

Hark, Bob! It is you now that will lead this merry band into the wilderness once again. With your trusty companion, Jiri, and sage elder, Dominik, the Czechs challenge will call out to the world; they will say: "Stand before us, peasants, fools, that would lay their hands upon our Cup. You lay no claim to it! We will take it back, once and for all."

From the Great White North descends fierce warriors with ancient bloodlines, armed and ready for a return to the throne. The trio of Dan, Kris, and Kirk, will circle in the offensive zone as they would a bear--the creature is large, powerful, but clumsy--until the moment is right to strike. As they approach, a bellow, loud and fearful, will pierce the air. They will turn to see so mighty a beast as they ever have, full of strength and power. It is the Bertuzzi.

From our own vast and wondrous shores shall we hold our ground. The way is shut, shall Chelios inform those misfortunate souls that come against them, and it shall remain shut. They will hesitate for but a moment--all Matt and Brett need to lead the attack the other way.

These men, gathered from around the world, have come together now for one reason. There exists a trophy, though only three feet in height, that stands high before us all. These men--these warriors--will move with great purpose and all speed to attain it.

Just three lousy games to go! The playoffs will soon be on us, and none too soon! :octo:

LMAO!!! You are absolutely HILARIOUS. Well done.

This should be posted before every playoff game! I love the part with the trio of Dan, Kris, and Kirk and of course the beast that goes by the name Bertuzzi!

[theman19 47]

it's been said quite a few times that the players hate mike babcock,..i don't really care if it's true or not.

The players also hated scotty bowman 364 days out of the year, except the day they picked up there stanley cup rings.

lets hope our players hate babs like that.

Lilja's not Sir?

I'd add Filppula there as well.

Just thought of something. Technically, if we win the Cup, Stevie could hoist it again, right? I mean, if the Vice President wants to hoist the Cup on the ice, he should be allowed to, right? He'll just be wearing a suit instead of a jersey.

[Kp-Wings 3]

I'm both exited and nervous at the same time. It's hard to tell which one is more

LETS GO RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!

Who's to say Yzerman doesn't throw his jersey over his suit jacket and pull a Scotty and put his skates on and skate around the ice with the Cup?

I can almost guarentee that Stevie will not lift the cup on the ice. He is too humble for that. He is done playing and wants the players to have all the glory and show off their accomplishment on the ice. He will hang out after the game in the locker room maybe, but he won't lift the cup on the ice. Anyways, lets win it first before we decide who Nick hands it off to.

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

He's 244 and he looks like a watusi....he makes the goalies woozy!

His name is Todd Bertuzzi....44!!

Yeah, Aflac does his thing, and then this comes next! You have to do it. Eventually it will be posted in the locker room, and you can do your own part to leading them on to victory.
