Detroit Red Wings & the NHL

[jaadam4]

Playoff beards unite!!!

If they go the distance, that will be about the longest I've gone without trimming it.

Results were mixed.

I wonder how long the team can go with Datsyuk almost singlehandedly carrying them. Today's victory pretty much guarantees that we won't see Zetterberg until Game 5 at the earliest. I am kind of not expecting to see him in the first round at all.

Packy, even with Stoll & Kopitar out, Doughty carries his team when it matters most. Shea Weber & Drew Doughty, hands-down the best in the game, period. It's a shame they play on shit franchises. Oh yeah add Duncan Keith too.

"Doughty had two goals and two assists, Quick made 34 saves and the Kings beat the San Jose Sharks 4-0 in Game 2 on Saturday night to even the first-round series at one game apiece."

"We had a lot of adversity before this game with two of our top centers out," Doughty said. "I guess a lot of people didn't think we had a chance tonight. I guess we showed those people wrong. We played a hard, solid team game. That's what wins you playoff games."

Not this year OP, L A has a strong defense. Mitchell and Scuderi have been solid all season long. They rarely make glaring mistakes and turnovers (like Doughty) and they stay home. Doughty had some growing pains big time this season, he's good no doubt, and young. But the next Paul Coffey talk stopped this year, at least for now. Im glad he picked his game up last night.

Chicago just scored and Ken Daniels is calling the game on VS. Very starnge hearing him sound excited for the goal.

[Optimus Prime]

Vancouver may sweep Chicago too sweet. Bruins down 0-2 to Montreal, deep hole recovery unlikely.

[Hannibal]

Marian Hossa has no goals, no assists, and he's -3. What a shock LOL

Terry Foster writes one of his best ever.

The league needs to get over the octopus toss. I'm waiting for them to ban the 30 foot tall "Al the Octopus" that comes down from the rafters for pre-game festivities.

[lineygoblue]

I think the NFL needs to ban the "Lambeau Leap"

3-1 at the end of the 2nd.

[Mike]

Great road win for the Wings tonight. Hopefully they can sweep and get a little rest.

Hossa is talented, unfortunately he has a long history of not showing up in the playoffs....you'd have to damn crazy as a GM to lock this guy up longterm.
