Get Davidson out of the tub and we'll talk.

Any word on Drapes' injury, other than "upper body"?

You are so bad.

I haven't heard anything else on Drapes. Upper body is the only thing I've heard them saying.

So, i've been busy today and haven't had time to catch up before the game, and in fact just tuned in....i'm hearing all kinds of crazy things that maybe you guys can clear up for me?

Franzen- 11 year deal?

Chelios - playing as a forward today?

Conklin let in a goal just 16 seconds in?

please explain, thanks

Wondering why Holland didn't mention Leino as one of the "good kids down in Grand Rapids"?

Being 2nd in points on the Red Wings is nothing to hang your head about but it still seems like Z is having an off year, no?

I don't know about "off" but with all the talk about Datsyuk lately, it seems like Hank is in the shadows since he signed his contract. Not that Pavel doesn't deserve the attention, but we've been focused on other things- Pav and Lids' milestones, Mule and Hossa's contract negotiations, goalie wars- and Hank has just kept playing quietly but effectively.

He's 25 years old and he looks nothing like a kid. More like a pug. I mean, Big E is 25 too but he still looks like he can pass for "kid."

[ChelisChick 174]

All true. There's a thread on Franzen's deal. Cheli's playing forward since Drapes is out with an upper body injury. And yes, the Hawks scored 16 seconds in on an unscreened goal that Conklin should've had. Like someone else mentioned, that puck had laser eyes.

Franzen: Yup, he's ours. See pinned thread for details.

Cheli: apparently used to play forward in his youth (took faceoffs against Plato) and is in at forward now due to the Draper "upper body injury".

Conk: hadn't woken up yet, I guess.

Loved the montage of the year's highlights, although it could have been longer

Pavel needs a point in the 3rd!

[ChelisChick 174]

I admit it. I voted for Cheli as player of the game. Call me biased.
