Lol. Wow...

We just can't escape.

[Z and D for the C 712]

wonder who shot it

Well, we can rule out Filppula. I don't think his shot is strong enough. So don't even think it, gcom.

[hooon 1,089]

McCollum now too? This is absurd.

I'll be happy with a win. Also I'll be happy if we can remain healthy through the game.

[13dangledangle 957]

3-0. Hudler hatty. Third goal Hudler will skate right through Fleury's fivehole.

.....Now that was funny

[HankthaTank 1,100]

.....Now that was funny

He was serious....

[Majsheppard 203]

I hope we win, although it will make Crosby MVP fantatics go crazy.

[ami 273]

Kunitz will slew-foot Franzen

Cooke will sucker-punch Kronwall from behind

Letang will jump Hudler

you forgot talbot. he'll spear McDonald.

keys to the game: shutdown staal, sane referees;

wings win by 2 goals.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

A win tonight would be great.

I think Lidstrom's +/- this year shows that it isn't always even useful for that

unless anyone seriously thinks Lidstrom is the worst even strength defenseman on the team(excluding Kindl since he wasn't a regular when Stuart was healthy)?

+/- is most useful when it's very high, or very low. But it is a very fickle stat.

It's one of those ones that you point to if it's good or bad, but when it's neutral it doesn't really mean a great deal. Lidstrom is proof of that this year.

Some defenseman will play top line, but also play on the PK. These defense usually have lower +/- because they're not just out with the top lines. Double shifting can really kill a Defenseman as well, as sometimes they're out there with goal scoring lines, and sometimes they're out there trying to keep the puck out of their own zone, and Lidstrom double shifts a lot. Well usually he does time and a half, often playing with one line, and then staying out for a while with the next line.

I bet if I did a game by game breakdown of goals for with Lidstrom out there, and goals against with Lidstrom out there, the story would tell more than the numbers do.

It is still strange for Lidstrom to be even on his +/-, after having such a solid offensive season, and winning most games. *Shrug*.

I use to look at +/- a lot more, but sometimes I just see huge inconsistencies in it.

Bahaha, true, what was I thinking? That'd be like Ron Hextall having a "Free Hugs Day."

That just conjured up the strangest image ever.

[dat's sick 1,002]

I couldn't care less about Lidstrom's +/-, as long as he doesn't end up a minus on the season. I want his streak of + seasons to continue.

[SuperNovaXll 124]

I really hate the Pens.

I really hope we win tonight.

Going to be switching back and forth between this game in the Barrett-jackson car auction. Hope I dont miss anything

[Esquire 324]

I waited for the right time to bust this out. In honor of Lidstrom's being named Captain, here's to you Nick!!!

GO WINGS GO!!!

PS. It's Steam Anchor Beer.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

And we're underway.

Almost for Hank!

[Konnan511 1,736]

Filppula taking on the Malkin line, just like the playoffs.

[John Marvin Murphy 33]

ahh need working stream!

[Anijuice 93]

Does anyone have a stream for this one? adthe and channelsurfing are saying I have to go on Ustream and I'm not finding anything on that site.

[Konnan511 1,736]

3rd string goalie fail.
