    The Kid may just add another a Stanley Cup to his collection very soon.

    Team Ikea has only 16 road wins this season WTF? If you can't win on the road in the playoffs, it's gonna be a short run. Playing St. Louis tonight in Missouri doesn't help much either.

        The Wings are struggling, no doubt.....and probably won't go too far in the Playoffs. But, that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that Crosby is a prima donna. The league promotes him at the expense of others. He whines to the refs so much, and gets results so readily, that it's the very first thing he does when he feels slighted. You may adore him, but the majority of fans don't even respect him, and obviously, many of his peers don't either. Clinging to your devotion, and refusing to acknowledge that players from other countries are just as skilled as you East Alaskans, simply leaves you looking.......I dunno......kinda foolish.

        But, please, carry on. ;-)

          Ah, the "daily celebration of ignorance" may have reached a new low.





          And the next time I see him kill a penalty will be the first.

          Honestly OT, would you have Antonio Stradivari build birdhouses?

            The finest example of a team captain, leader, and champion is Steve Yzerman. The man blocked shots, killed penalties, and played on one leg through pain I can't imagine. Cindy is the Canadian version of Alex Mogilny. Or is he more Pavel Bure?

              The hallmark of a loser argument....question the intellect of the opponent.

              Well done.

                Mike I agree, Yzerman is my top five all-time, damn shame he spent a lot of his prime playing with a bunch of plugs. For today, love him or hate him, Sid fills arenas and is the NHL's Marquee player..... Florida Panthers typically draw a pathetic number of fans per game however when Crosby & the Pens are in town, the game is soldout, he's a huge draw in a billion-dollar business and it is the same for other venues as well.

                Honestly, it is damn tough for the other teams to score when the Penguins possess the puck on offense, which may ultimately be the best defense but referring to Crosby as "Alexei Yashin" or some other gutless Russian is over-the-top!

                          I've been meaning to ask---"Team Ikea"?

                          Helluva comeback tonight by the Red Wings! 0-0 most of the way, then a 5-minute major/game misconduct giving Detroit a golden opportunity, which they screw up badly---first giving up a SH goal, then taking a dumb penalty themselves to make it a 4-on-4, which the Blues capitalize on to make it 2-0 with under 10 minutes to go. Wings flipped the switch "ON" at that point, though, thanks to the Mule (yes---great assists by the REAL WORLD'S GREATEST HOCKEY PLAYER), then dominate OT to no avail, finally winning the shoot-out on the final turn, with Bertuzzi scoring the only goal post-regulation to get the Wings a HUGE extra point to keep them in 4th.

                          2 games left in the regular season, if I'm correct...

                          GO WINGS !!!

                              Packy, where you at? Gutsy road win as the Blues fold in the third. Of course it took a Canadian to actually score and secure the win. Glad to see Datsyuk finally show, point ahead of Nashville with two to go.

                                You mean the same thug that broke someone's neck? I love how you give no credit to Franzen. What a joke.
