... only a 1.8% chance to come back ...

No, chances were 12.5% - these are chances to win 3 games in a row, chances to win a series being down 0-3, is 6.25% .

1.8% is not chances, it is how many comebacks have happen so far.

Everything else is absolutely correct.

GO WINGS!!

i'm still believing sharks can win 7-3 in second overtime.

good job, Big Joe

these announcers irritate me beyond the point ...

how, how such morons can hold the job?!

Looking forward to it!

Something missing in this picture....

Oh! There must be at least a couple waiters:



without them sharks are going to die of starvation...

one more suggestion.
how about writing an open letter to Mr. and Mrs. Ilitch, to Mr. Holland and other owner and GM. Publish it, spread the word around and let fans sign this letter. These are NHL owners, these employs Mr. Battman.
May be I'm naive, but if this little lawyer hears something from his employer he will for sure pay attention.

How about sending them a lot of octopuses (octopodes) in snail mail?

is it too obvious to expect crappy referring today?

wings, stay healthy... win both.

feel sorry for him. good guy coaching bunch of %$^#^ bags.

i hate sound overly optimistic, but Red Wings score today.

7-7 in regulation, then win, 7 sec in OT.

GO WINGS!!

the only reason for not disclosing injury is to keep taxi drivers in Chicago from panicking. If I were a taxi driver and Kane isn't able to drive, I'll take a vacation.

Does anyone else see the irony of the N. American hockey league using a centrally planned system (salary cap) and the Russian using more of a free market system for a team's roster based on supply and demand and simple cost/benefit projections?.

Sheesh.  What's this country coming to?

Although, N.American hockey system is obviously moving out of free market system, it is a big fallacy to think of Russian system as a free market. Russia's 'demand' on free agents is fueled with money that earned somewhere else not in hockey (oil, local and federal budgeting, laundering, etc.). Same as US economy was fueled and overflowed with cheap money as Greenspan lowered interest rate in early 2000's. What that system eventually has produced? Bubbles and than ... bursts, collapses!

As to the question where this country is coming to? Pretty clear. Socialism. Meaning: wherever Russia and/or Germany were in 1930's. And the West is moving toward these targets since 1930's too (thanks to FDR and Hoover), with short stop in late 1970s/early 1980's with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.

/back to hockey
let them (hockey players whatever their nationality is) go wherever they want to play, win or earn money. The less imposed restrictions or regulations, the better hockey we're going to witness.

do wings need another primadonna entering her climax for that price tag ? I'd say Wings are better off without him. Even more, I'd say NHL is better off with out him too. Let him join Lesha Yashin - they've got a lot in common.

what do you want to hear from a lawyer, straight answer? wishful thinking. usually one needs another lawyer to decipher lawyer's answer, a so forth.

and, i bet, you haven't listen his show up to the very end where fine printing came out of his mouth.
