Third Man In 2,091 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 Congrats to the Wings for winning the President's Trophy. As a Sharks fan, I hope the Sharks and the Wings meet up in the WCF.Thanks! It would be a great series. But the second seed might be good for the Sharks--if the seed win out, the Wings get the Ducks in rd 2, just like they got the Sharks last year.

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 How in the world does LeClaire not get a star, I would have thought about giving him the first star. As much as I can't stand the guy, you gotta tip your hat to him. He plays out of his mind against the Wings. It's no coincidence that like 6 of his first 10 wins were shutouts this season.

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 Leclaire was amazing tonight for sure. Kinda shocked he didn't score, especially with how close his team was to winning thanks to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am still glad Zata outsmarted him, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
91to-the-rafters 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 Dude Columbus ALWAYS plays their best games against Detroit it seems. They could (and have) lose games to crappy teams all year long and they can't touch friggin Nashville for whatever reason, but they always bring it when they play Detroit. considering how short-handed the Wings are and given that LeClaire was literally keeping this game close for Columbus (always a problem for Detroit when they run into a hot goalie), I'll take it. Hell if Columbus played the rest of the West like they play Detroit every night, they'd have over 100 points themselves, but they don't have the scoring for it. Couldn't have said that one better if I tried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) Kopecky will most likely have an MRI as soon as the swelling goes down. We will know if its bad most likely by Saturday. Edited April 4, 2008 by Majsheppard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was really starting to play great too. Where are you hearing this from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) LeClaire is an elite goalie, it is time people recognize that. Prediction: In two years the Central will have at least 3 teams in the playoffs. If St Louis picks up a great player in the Draft it could be 5.

Yeah, Sharks fans are happy with the #2 seed considering the probable 1st round matchups. Let Dallas and Anaheim beat each other up. No matter what, a good team will bite the dust in that series.

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 Doesn't sound too good. He was really starting to play great too. Where are you hearing this from? My apologies I should have said. This is the opinon of a sports medicine doctor who looked at the injury and the limp off and told me the standard protocol. I just got off the phone with him, because when I saw it I was worried and called him. This is a professional opinion only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
