lol imagine datsyuk on twitter

Haha, yeah.  I wish they would explain to him what twitter is though.  

If he were to know that 99.999999999999999% of the people who post to twitter don't even know how to spell or type in understandable english, and that even grown adults type like retarded 11 year old girls writing a text message after having 15 mountain dews, maybe he'd realize his english would actually be among some of the best on there and he'd sign up!

I think the Wings play a lot better when they are getting f***ed over by the refs.

The first two periods, when the refs seemed to be actively trying to throw the game to the coyotes, the Wings battled through and went up 4-1.  In the third where the calls were more or less even, the Wings completely choked and handed the game over to the coyotes themselves on a silver platter.

What a totally dissapointing ending.  But that seems to be the Wings MO lately when it looks like the game should be theirs.  Go up by a few, to where the game should be completely in hand, then completely give up and go to sleep while the other team embarrases you.  Its a great strategy...

Game doesn't start til 12:45

NBC WILL BE SWITCHING TO THE WINGS GAME AT PUCK DROP, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 12:45

You better be right, or I'm gonna throw a brick through my TV, then send NBC the bill...

Yeah, hes picked it up for sure and is looking a lot more confident, but IMO still not worth the $3 mil we're paying him.

Also, nobody "hated" Hudler.  That term gets thrown around on the internet way too much.  Disagree even slightly with someone or something, and you are automatically a "hater" these days.

Lemieux's message may be true, but he went about it in a pretty brain dead way. It's obvious he doesn't care about the state of NHL hockey (as he colleagues have already said regarding his absence from meetings) until it affects his team. It's not "we need to do this to improve the game," it's "my team got punked so down with this sort of thing."

EXACTLY!!!

Yes, the core of Marios message was true...

BUT, it was obviously just Mario whining and crying because things didn't go his way, like he has done his whole career, and now taught his little protege to do as well.  Not him actually caring about the league or other players.

Mario doesn't really give a s*** at all.  As was pointed out before, HIS TEAM is the leader in both penalty minutes AND fighting.  He has never said anything about that.  

HIS TEAM pays the dirtiest player in the NHL to go out game after game with one goal; injure  other players.  He doesn't say s*** about that or condemn that kind of play either.  

He could be expressing ways to change the game for the positive, with his influential voice, in league meetings.  But nope... Mario doesn't give a s***, and doesn't even attend those.  

But now that his boys got their ass handed to them for once, NOW he is all up in arms and pretending to care about the league and other players...

Lets call it what it is.  Hypocritical bulls***.

And the favoritism is horrifically blatant in not reprimanding him at the very least.  No one else has ever gotten away with calling out the NHL in public.

Exactly.  

This is just another example of the League pretty much outright saying that Pittburgh gets preferential treatment, and doesn't have to follow the same rules all the other teams have to.  Pathetic.

I agree, great to see Nik at a plus.

But, c'mon...  Lets not dis Stuart now.

If anything, everyone should now realize what a vital role Stuart played for our team... since he has been out, our defense has pretty much totallyf****** sucked...

We won't be renting a car (since we don't have a permit to carry a weapon in other states...i kid i kid.). =)

I know you were kidding, but I believe Michigan is one of the states that has a reciprocity agreement with Texas, so your Texas CCW permit would also be valid in MI.

Personally, I think Kenny doesn't hold anything against Snow for claiming Nabakov (I'm assuming that's what you were implying).

I agree.  Kenny is a great businessman, and that was just business.   You can't let your emotions interfere in business matters, or you won't get too far.

And the inconsistency continues.

Well, there is one thing he is pretty consistent at...

Letting in 4 goals a game.

I don't think he meant to trip him like that.

You are obviously not familiar with Matt Cooke and his style of "play".  If you were, there would be no question that it was intentional and he did mean to stick his knee out like that in an attempt to injure Ovechkin.  Thats what he does.  He throws his knees out in attempts to injure people.  This is not the first, or fifth, or tenth time he has done it.  He literally does it ALL the time.  Dirtiest player on the ice by far.  He makes guys like Pronger look like boy scouts.

Anyone else like me and looking forward to the draft more than the actual game?

Except Kulemin never threw a punch. Pushing =/= punching. And he never dropped the gloves, while Gleason (who I like) did drop his gloves.

Yeah he did.  He threw 2 punches.  Just becasue his gloves were on, doesn't mean they weren't punches.  

Sidenote; And anyone who has been punched in the face with gloves before knows that s*** hurts a lot of times more than getting hit with a bare fist.  (obviously, not in this case, lol)

On other forums people are calling it a cheap-shot. To me, it was within the code. However, I  expect Gleason to answer for himself when he sees Orr, Rosehill, or Brown next.

What, Leafs forums?  lol

You start throwing punches like a big boy, you gotta be prepared to back that s*** up like a big boy too.  Kulemin learned an important lesson today.

By the end of this week, I can almost promise you that there will be some clearer direction in this whole thing. Until then, everyone should just take a chill pill, unwad their panties, and just wait.

Lol, I didn't see anyone freaking out or getting their panties in a knot.   No need to get so overdramatic.
