I was yelling for a penalty until I saw the replay. Then I had to give him credit. Hurts to say it, but he did well and saved his team's collective bum.

My money on the board pledge:

$1 for each goal scored by a player after whom I have named a hamster.

An additional $5 for each hat trick scored by a player after whom I have named a hamster.

An additional $10 if any of the above goals is the GWG goal that gives us the series win.

An additional $50 if it is the GWG that wins us the Cup.

$5 for a SO by Jimmy.

Hamsters' names (current players in RED): Henrik Pavel Tomas Nicklas Dominik

Niklas Matthieu Daniel Robert

Johan Andreas Valtteri Jonathan

Andrew Patrick Ian Todd

And introducing: Jordin Damien Gustav James

TOTAL SO FAR: $30

You know, Scuderi, what with the inevitability that the Wings will be moving some folks around this summer, howsabouts you and I get together and talk about a contract possibility over lunch? Great. Have your people call my people.

Props to Scuderi but the Wings would not have had to rely on breaks like that had they played a full 60 minutes.

Remember covering the puck in the crease is Busch League. I just want to remind everyone of that when certain pens fans come gloating.

Ahhh yea, about that. Zetterberg should take a lesson from Scuderi on how to **legally** handle the the puck and block a shot inside crease as a defensesive player. The key is block, deflect, and let the goalie cover; not smother wiht your hands and lay on the puck with your body.

Zetterberg's move deserved two penalty shots, Scuderi's moves deserves two shots of Jack Daniels.

I'll give you the first Zetterberg save should have been a penalty shot, but the second was Crosby being a retard and shooting it into Zetterberg's body instead of lifting the puck into an empty net. Zetterberg didn't intentionally cover the puck, it was shot into him after he had already fell into the crease.

This. One of Zetterberg's plays was dumb luck, the other was cheating. Of course, if you don't get caught, it isn't cheating.

Scuderi attempted to cheat, but failed at it. It was a great and accidentally legal defensive play!

"It was pretty interesting," said Detroit coach Mike Babcock. "We had May in exhibition for a couple of games and no one gets hacked or whacked. When we don't have him, we get run. We don't have a team that twists off helmets at stoppages. You get tired of seeing it all the time. It's just nice when you get someone to look after that stuff."
