Who else sheds a tear when Mule snipes a corner?

[SaCkaveli20 275]

It's a thing of beauty.

Yay for my 1st Thread! Great game today from the Red Wings. 6-1 and we were missing our 2 best players? lmao.

I wonder if Chicago knows they can't win when they take 50+ PIM.

That was great. Kinda like Clearly's a few games ago. Flip had one vs the Preds last year in game #5 too.

no tear but i do go **** nuts!!!

[b.shanafan14 733]

His wrister, especially from the right faceoff circle to the far corner is disgusting. Love seeing it everytime.

[Zetterling 16]

That was a really cool goal. Only up 1-0 going into the second was pretty scary and considering the Hawks came close to getting a goal just moments earlier made it pretty awesome.

[betterREDthandead 58]

Cristobal Huet, apparently.

[ComradeWasabi 109]

Cristobal Huet, apparently.

haha, he was definitely not happy about that one...

My fiance.

The Mule is her favorite!

am I jealous of him? ... perhaps.

[Rocket Queen 30 1]

Woot Woot! He makes me very proud! Yay for the Mule!

That's rough, man.

[thedisappearer 291]

Every time he scores, me and the missus explode with "AAHHHHH s***, don't get the Mule hot!!!"

I shed a tear when I remember we have him locked up till he retires at 3.9/whatever million per year when I think he could have got 5 or 6mil on the open market. Guys like him don't grow on trees and are tough to find. The closest I can think of might be Bertuzzi in his prime but minus the dumb penalties and with more speed. Mule can Homer it up in front of the net, cycle it like Zets, pull some crazy Datsyukian one on one moves and shoot the puck like Hoss. Oh, by the way, he also plays amazing defense and plays physical too. Who else in the league combines all these? Getzlaf? Close but no defense. Lucic? He's a big body but can't snipe or dangle like Mule. Malkin? He's better offensively but Mule's net front presence and defense put Malkin's to shame. So who else can do everything the Mule can do and is a great teammate and who only makes 3.9/yr and is locked up till he turns 50 or something? Anybody??

You're making a good case

Keep feeding the Mule all the way to the Stanley Cup. The man is a monster playoff performer, no doubt about it. We're lucky as a franchise to have him.

[Seraph 240]

When he scores, I yodle "JoooooohaaaAAAAAAaaaan" and then scream "THE MUUUULE!! THE F**KING MUULE!!!"

Hey, it's been working for me. You keep on doin' what you're doing.

[P. Marlowe 748]

The announcers were too hard on Huet on that goal. It was a great shot.

[Jocke 53]

I agree, it was a perfect wrister through the defenders legs. Tough one for Huet.

[Guest lnvincible]

As soon as i saw mule had the puck on fast break, i knew something was going to happen. The man is a beast.

All true, good post.

Also, he is receiving his due from the pundits the past two seasons. That's always nice to see.

My only concern is a possible concussion from the cheap headshots that opponents seem to have a penchant for delivering. The one that Malone laid on him last season during the finals was, without doubt, intentional.

Hope he keeps his head up.

I thought it would have been a tough shot to stop even without the screen.

Deceptively quick and perfectly placed wrister in the top corner. Similar placement to the slapshot Stevie Y made for the OT winner against the Blues.

Wow!

[Wombat 26]

It reminded me of all the times that Fedorov ripped perfect shots between the defender's legs to the top corner of the net!

My girlfriend and I said this when he scored:

Do you see what you get, Huet? Do you see what you get when you mess with The Warrior??

I love that Mule. He is my favorite.

[Booster313 138]

I don't shead a tear but I heard that an Angel gets it's Wings!

[henrik40 76]

I always get grief from my fiance. She bought me a franzen jersey for a college graduation gift last year and I was only a tiny bit disappointed because I wanted Zetts. Now when I tell her I'm so happy I have a Franzen jersey she says "I thought you wanted Zetterberg". She'll never let me forget that. Oh well, I love Mule and I'm entirely excited since he's locked up til the year 3050.
