at least end the season on a good note, god damn.

At this point, just end the season, in any way you can as fast as you can. I'm right on the limit, I can't take much more of this regular season nonsense.

[Gordie Howe hat trick 110]

Is that the right time? I thought that it would be earlier.

[Gordie Howe hat trick 110]

Never mind NHL.com has it starting then too.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

Is that the right time? I thought that it would be earlier.

It's a doubleheader on NBC so there is a game at 2 and a game at 5

[Gordie Howe hat trick 110]

Who is the other one?

[Dimaline312000 51]

Come on Wings lets get some PayBack!!

[MannyK 16]

NBC isn't doing a double header today......?

[Gordie Howe hat trick 110]

Yeah, I was just looking and I can't find any evidence of a double header. It would be nice if it is true though.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

According to ESPN, the next game is Boston/NY Islanders

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

Our tv listings show New York vs. Philadelphia as the second game at 5PM. Remember, "The Peacock" has to pull out all the stops, as they are competing with "Eldrick and the Little White Ball".

[Gordie Howe hat trick 110]

According to ESPN, the next game is Boston/NY Islanders

Ok, thanks.

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

If you hear the name Brian Pochmara today (the chance is slim), show some concern.

[dat's sick 1,002]

All I ask for is no injuries.

Things that would be sweet but are just bonuses:

* A big, comfortable win.

* Dats and/or Lids getting 3 points for a 100/1000.

* Z having a 4 point game to get to a Point-per game status this season.

* Anyone getting a hat-trick (can be combined with the above mentioned things)

* Datsyuk getting a +2 or more to win the +/- league (if Krecji is a +/- 0 in the Bruins last game).

* A no-goals allowed game for Ozzie to give him confidence going into the playoffs.

Chelios hat trick ties the game. Kronwall penalty shot in the last minute seals the deal.

Go Wings!

[Guest mindfly]

Wings loose this one as well, they will run 4lines and it will be a slow non-hitting game... *yawn*

I hope not, the rivalry with Chicago is heating up again. That and I want a decent game for my friend I'm getting into hockey to watch today.

Right, but who do you think will win?

Sorry to say this but you can count on it, that it will be a pretty boring game that is.

I know...but I can still hope can I not?
