Is it me or are emerick and pierre even bigger douches than usual tonight?

I remember when the game used to be 5 on 5

An arrest warrant was probably released for Todd Bertuzzi for assault and conspiracy to commit murder.  The NHL is pushing the charges.

Let's beat these assholes out of the playoff chase.  Back to 9th seed where they belong.

Jonathon quick is now psychokinetic.

I wish I knew how to embed the video.  I'm trying but it's not working

Edit* Ok figured it out.  Enjoy.

Kick some ass Datsyuk

And a lot of people thought Ty Conklin should have started over Ozzie in the playoffs. In the end your #1 is usually your best option. Howard will not get any better in the playoffs if he is on the bench.

Yeah but Osgood was a vet who had proved multiple times he can turn it on in the post season.  Howard hasn't really proved anything yet.  He's still relatively untested.

Howard has been mediocre all year.  He has some flashes of brilliance and then offsetting flashes of bad.  It all averages out to him being mediocre.  Yes the defense hasn't been great.  But be honest to yourself here.  What separates mediocre goalies from the elite goalies?  The elite ones make those saves that they had no chance too.  The elite goalies steal multiple games a year by standing on their head and making what should be impossible saves.  That's why they get paid the big bucks.

Howard gets paid what, a little over 2 mil a year?  He shouldn't be expected to be anything other than mediocre when we're getting him so cheaply.  The problem comes when one side makes Howard out to be the greatest goalie in the league and the other side makes him out to be the worst goalie in the league.  He's neither extreme.  He's average.  

That being said, at this point I'd rather see Macdonald get the majority of the next few games.  He's really played well the last few outtings.  Howard hasn't earned the starting job.

At least we got a point

Well f***

I just got back from the game as well.  I must say this was probably one of the most boring and painful games to watch that I've been to, barring a few minutes in the second and the last four minutes in the third + overtime.  The wings really skated like they didn't care for the most part.  And Howard letting in a very soft goal from the start didn't help.  

A win is a win I guess, but this win really doesn't instill confidence in me.  It's like my sister said: "it's sad how that you can tell now they aren't going to score for the rest of the game".  She was almost right too.

I hope Osgood gets back soon.  We need him to either play good and take the starting job or play good and make jimmy raise his game.

Couldn't get more than 20,000 people in that small of an area so not sure if serious...

No that was complete sarcasm.  I'd be surprised if they could fit 500 people in there lol

+/- isn't a stupid stat.  It does mean something.  However like every  other stat, you can't measure people based on one stat alone, but rather the combination of them all.

It's funny because Osgood could let in only one goal the entire season and people would still be calling for him to be released.
